A Few Additions to the Blog and Other Such Things

Have a look over to your right and you will see the pregnancy ticker with how many weeks and days along we are with Slevin. There is also a link to be able to make a guess as to when Slevin will arrive, whether it will be a boy or girl, its size, etc. A friend of mine had the guessing game up on her sight and I thought I would steal the idea to make things a bit more fun among family and friends as we await the arrival of #4. If you need a refresher about the first 3, here you go:

Jake - January 23, 2005 (9 days early), 3:19pm 7lb 6oz & 19.5 inches

Brenden - February 1, 2007 (14 days early), 1:45am, 6lb 11oz & 21.5 inches

Rylan - August 17, 2010 (19 days early), 6:12pm, 6lb 11oz & 20.5 inches

Looks like 6lb 11oz might be a good guess for the the weight! ;-)

As for everything else, I've been feeling ok. I'm still exhausted and having trouble sleeping, but it looks like there's not much I can do about it except hope it gets better on its own. I got the final results back from the early screen and my numbers were great - I went from 1/250 chances to 1/somewhere in the thousands chances of the baby being born with down syndrome or other complications. I had an appointment on Tuesday and I've gained 8 lbs so far - I want to eat everything in sight! It looks like this could be a Jake-like pregnancy where I gain around 45 lbs (*sweet*). The doctor and I decided to go the normal 4 weeks between appointments now since I have made it to the 2nd trimester and everything has been going well. If I start to have increased anxiety again I can always go in sooner. It looks like I won't have the big ultrasound until the last week of August or first week of September. I'm still up in the air with a lean toward a boy, but only time will tell! And last but not least, the lovely belly shot of my hugeness:

13 weeks, 4 days and feeling HUGE

He doesn't like the flash if you can't figure out why he looks like that :)
