Doing Much Better/Ultrasound

I am feeling much better these days. The nausea is pretty much gone and now I am dealing with heartburn and backache; this is nothing compared to how sick I was. I am not in pain, I am just uncomfortable at times. I can still only eat a few selected items like fruit, eggs, and raisin bran cereal and sometimes french fries, but I try not too eat too many of those. Chicken, fish, and red meat still make be sick. It is so nice not to be sick every hour of every day. I have also been trying to walk every day too. I have gained a couple of pounds and have really popped out the past two weeks.

I went to the library to get some birthing books and videos and I sort of got freaked out by the video. I think Sanjay was a little freaked too. I just hope I can do everything right when labor comes. We signed up for a childbirth class that meets on Tuesday evenings. If anyone else can suggest a great class for us to take please let us know. We are planning to take a breast feeding class too.

Well tomorrow is the big day. We are 21 weeks and we have our ultrasound tomorrow. I am so nervous and excited. I haven't been able to focus on anything else but this ultrasound. I don't know why I am freaking out so much about this. I pray that Peanut is healthy and everything is developing properly. Hopefully, we will be able to determine the gender of Peanut. Yes, Sanjay and I have decided to find out if Peanut is a Girl or a Boy. Here's why:
1. We are going to find out sooner or later, so why not know a little early when we are both in proper mind and are feeling good? It will be a big enough surprise to see what he/she looks like.
2. We feel it will facilitate the bond. Instead of referring to Peanut as an unknown gender we can start saying he/she and be more specific with our prayers.
3. Sanjay doesn't really like surprises and we both feel it would be nice to prepare mentally and physically (as much as we can) for our new arrival.
4. I can't wait to decorate Peanut's room!
