just another day

well, pregnancy is getting the best of me. i had a dr. appointment this morning at 8:15. so i got up at 5:30 and showered and got ready. then i made eggs for levi and got him out of bed at 6:30 so we could leave the house around 7ish. i showed up at the office at 8:10 and did my check in and did what i needed to in the restroom, the whole time assureing levi that this is NOT the docor that gives suckers. so i go to the waiting room and the nurse calls out.... hey lori, i have your appointment for tomorrow. UGH...... she said that she would fit me in but dr. patton was not in today.... so....... all to do again tomorrow. ugh.... oh well, it is just 90 miles and i just filled up for $4.09so i am set, right???? bobby has only been gone for 3 days and already i cannot run this household by myself. KUDOS to all single moms.... i was not made to be one.
so tomorrow at the dr. i am going to try to see if i can predict the sex of the baby by the heartrate. when i was pregnant with levi, his heartbeat was always around 165. from people that i have talked with, they say that girls usually beat around 145. so.... i will make a prediction tomorrow and then see how accurate i am. i assume i will have an ultrasound around 20 weeks to determine the birth. we'll see.
i am feeling okay. it seems that the nausea is about gone. just comes every now and then. i am starting to get out of breath really quick. and the other day i started feeling him move. just like a small cramp, nothing like him doing jumping jacks or anything.
well, so that is what is going on in the holbert house. bobby is in new Orleans inspecting a bridge. he will be there for another 13 days. he called tonight to talk to levi (usually he just calls before he goes to bed and levi is already down). he was amazed at how much levi is talking in just 3 days. as hard as i think i have it here, i know that he is missing levi, well, and maybe me, much more than i can even imagine. bobby, my husband that has very little inflection and emotion in his voice, had a little bit of sadness when he said goodbye to levi on the phone. if you think of it, say a little prayer for his safety and loneliness while he is gone.
until.......
