Oh the pressure!

The pressure of the ultrasound is getting to me! It is funny because I can honestly say that I really do not have a preference…boy or girl…I am happy. I really, really want a healthy baby.  I would not say I am a worrier in general but I am all kinds of anxious about this ultrasound; to the extent that I am having vivid nightmares on the health of our baby. Last night our baby had a 3rd eye...SERIOUSLY!  I know it is crazy but I am so anxious!  Thank GOD we did not do the genetic testing otherwise I would be a mess through this whole pregnancy…I just have to make it to Tuesday morning.   I could be projecting my anxiousness for Brendan, we all know he has a STRONG desire for the sex of the baby and maybe I am just taking that on and turning it into something worse…LOL! GOL the pressure of a freaking ultrasound is really getting to me!  I know all you parents out there are probably rolling your eyes thinking- lady if you are stressed about this; you are in a world of hurt.  But let me be!  I do not freak at normal circumstances just crazy arse ones like these!

This last week was a normal week with a jam packed weekend.  Brendan and I had HH (Happy Hour) with fake cousin Cara on Friday night.   We went to Vitos, the place Connor works, and had a blast.   We ate off the HH menu and then moved on to dinner.   Connor did this cool tasting thing where he would make a drink and then pour each item that was in the drink in a little shot glass.  Brendan and Cara would take a drink of their amazing cocktail and then taste each item individually then take another drink of their cocktail to see if they would taste all of the flavors…Brendan said that it was awesome to drink something like that and then was inspired to make some drinks at home. Connor was wonderful making sure I was not left out so he made me a fancy drink with ginger beer (like ginger ale but stronger ginger flavored…not actual beer), mint and other great things.  It was a really fun, late night. Saturday I had a wedding and it went great….I have no more weddings the month of July!! But come August do not expect to see me. We had a sunny day, which is very rare here right now, on Sunday.  Billie stopped over to drop off clothes for the baby and me!  I love when I get clothes!! Then Brendan and I headed up to the Sounders game.   It was such a fun weekend.

Next week is the big week…we will be able to call the baby him or her…fingers crossed for whatever you are wishing the O’Briens to have.  Until next week!

PS the baby is the size of a Sweet Potato
