I am feeling slightly better about things today. My boobs are little tiny more sore than yesterday and I am trying to stay positive. 22 Hours and 45 Minutes until my appointment - my NT scan.. then I have a regular prenatal appointment with the OB at 3pm tomorrow (the NT scan is at 1pm). I am still very very nervous.. but also excited. I'm excited to think that my next journal entry could very well include a picture of my healthy 12 week 2 day baby girl or boy!! I keep putting girl first in my posts hoping to persuade the little baby to the girl side but I know that is already figured out.

I am a little concerned about going with a full bladder to my appointment.. I just want to do it right. I think if I emply my bladder at noon then drink drink drink I will be back full by 1pm.. and the scan proabably won't start until shortly after 1pm so I should be ok. I have a rather stressful day at work tomorrow even though I will be leaving at 10am in order to catch a ferry and be home in time to grab Jeff and hit the road to my appointment. We may even be able to stop for lunch on the way like we did before my 7 week ultrasound.

Oh man, if everything turns out perfect tomorrow I will be so friggin happy. I shouldn't let myself get my hopes up yet though... Change the subject.

So Jeff and I spent a half an hour picking blackberries yesterday when I got home from work and we picked probably about 8 cups. I think I might try to make a pie this weekend sometime. I have Friday off so maybe it'll be a good day for pie baking :) I also plan on taking my maternity jeans back to Target to exchange them for a smaller size. I regular clothes I am a 10 except for the bloat/fat/baby bump... so a 12 would probably fit. But Target maternity jeans want me in an 8... go figure. Making the pg fatties feel small. Haha. Hopefully they have an 8 in stock. I am wearing my motherhood maternity jeans today and they are so comfy and fit perfect. I love them. I should have taken Jeff's advice and got two pairs but I didn't want 2 pairs of the same jeans... then people would think I wear the same pants everyday.

I wonder if they'll have me undress for my u/s or just unbutton my pants or pull the waste of my pants down? I am embarrased I am already in maternity jeans so I feel like I have to sqeeze back into regular pants for my appointment tomorrow. And OMG I am scared sh*tless to step on that darn scale tomorrow :( I bet I've gained 15 lbs. Crap!!! That is not going to be good at all.

Well.... signing off for now.......... hopefully I will be back with great news tomorrow...
