Relief & Even a Smile

Well, today was the big day. The day that would either end with me hitting Alan a lot more than usual or me prancing around doing an "I told you so" dance. The day that we would find how many beans were hanging out inside of me.

Here it is, ladies and gentlemen.....



Yeah, in case you can't tell - that's just one little bean. You can't see it, but I promise there was a little flicker in the middle that was a teeny little heart pounding away.

I shall be dancing a lot tonight. A special dance I have choreographed for this precise moment. Well, really, any "in your face, suckah!!!" moment. Hee hee! Alan has seen it a few times. He's seen it already. I'll do it again a few more times just for effect.

Honestly, I'm relieved. I was concerned enough about how much baby stuff we would have to purchase (read: everything), let alone having to buy the stuff for more than one. I don't have that kind of money. I don't have... any kind of money, really. Haha! So seeing that one little bean was a great relief. I smiled. I grinned. Oddly enough, I did not cry. I always thought I would. Oh well.

My biggest fear (aside from triplets) was seeing a sac but no baby. Or a baby but no heartbeat. Or nothing at all. Honestly. I was so nervous this morning I could barely eat (which just made the nausea worse ... oops!). Now I am ok, though. Really ok.

You know, aside from the fact that my 'fat jeans' are now a little snug. I suppose I need to go get that bella band thingie I keep hearing about sooner rather than later. It's crazy how many things have come out in the past 10 years that didn't exist back when Soren was born.

Ok, enough about me. Wait a minute, this is my blog. I suppose I could keep babbling about me all I want! Except that I can't. I've got to get to work. Ewwww. Yeah, I know. Even more stressful is the fact that I'm putting in my notice today. It's almost 3 months early, but I'm pretty sure they've already worked out that I'm pregnant.

Did you see that? I said it.
