Hormones, butterflies, and anticipation

Again, it's been forever. Only because I still don't feel that great all the time and sitting at the computer is just hard for me. I have tons of pictures that I want to post, but I need my husband to fix the connection for me. When it gets done, I will post a picture of this belly that is growing. I will be 17 weeks tomorrow. (Saturday) Almost half-way! I can't believe it. It feels like it's been forever. My hormones are out of control. I am so irritable. I have no patience with my kids at all, ever. I feel bad because this isn't their fault, but they get a lot of the repercussions. It will be nice to feel normal again someday. Hugs and kisses are in short supply with me lately and hopefully will be re-stocked soon!

On the brighter side--I felt the baby move last Saturday. That is always such a blessed time. It always makes me want to shout, "There really is something in there!" I have felt it several times since then. The kids are anxious to be able to feel it. I'm sure it will be at least another month, but they will love it. I told them that right now it feels like I have little butterflies in my tummy. The ultrasound is scheduled for March 14. I am so excited to see what this little stranger is. All the girls want a brother and of course, so does daddy. I ,on the other hand,really don't care. A boy would definitely even out some of the estrogen floating around this place. Daddy could use a fishing pal and I think it would be a lot of fun to see how different a boy would be. If it's a girl, I already have all the stuff and I totally know how to do girls. Four weddings... We need to start saving now!
