When is this baby coming?

I went in for 20 wk. ultrasound/checkup last week and found out that the baby (still a boy) is growing 12 days ahead of where he should be according to my due date, but that was when she thought that she told me that I was due on Aug 1, I'm due Aug 7. She decided to keep my due date the same, but was just letting me know that this baby might be coming a little earlier than we had expected.

So anyone who knows me knows that I'm not always the most patient (when I was little I would unwrap my Christmas presents, ever so carefully, weeks ahead of time and then wrap the back up; and then I married someone who did the exact same thing). Anyway, I come home from that doctors appointment and just start thinking that

... oh gosh... Abby came a week early .... but she tried to come 2 weeks early ... (was that a braxton hicks?) .... and if the baby's growing 12 days ahead .... 12 days is almost 2 weeks ... and then if I add the week between Aug 1 and Aug 7 ... (there was another braxton hicks) .... that's like 5 weeks ... No way! ... (Maybe these aren't braxton Hicks and I'm going into labor ... no ... too early for that) .... This baby is gonna be here .... like the beginning of July ... that means that I might only have 15 weeks left ... woohoo! ... I'm already 25 weeks! ... dang ... I look good for 25 weeks:)

But then, after I have week to cool off, (and realize I'm imagining braxton hicks) I finally start thinking... maybe I should just have everything together and ready... just in case, but plan for the baby coming mid Aug and then nobody has to deal with me being an overly emotional, overdue prego if I make it to August.... but who am I kidding?

poor Tyler.....

Abigail Update

Abby has been up to so much lately. She started scooting around at 5 1/2 months and tentative crawling at 6 months. By the time we moved (she was almost 7 months) she was getting around on her own pretty well & even ended up crawling into the pantry cupboard while I was unpacking. It me a minute to figure out where she went, it was like she knew she shouldn't be in there... she was soo quite! She started pulling herself up to stand right at 7 months. At 7 1/2 months she started singing to herself in the mornings, It was so much fun for me to wake up to that! -she is such a sweet sweet baby.
She just turned 8 months last Saturday (Valentines) and is making all sorts of noises. She started with bababa (I claimed this as her saying my name, Tyler's family calls me 'Bob'), then she started babadabda, then came dadada, and my personal favorite, tehtehteh(she whispers it- so cute!)

Surprise!

A lot has been going on the last couple of months, it's been so fun and exciting:) First, we found out that Abigail is going to be a Big Sister! We've known for a little while and been trying to keep it pretty quite and just among family until I was further along. I went in for a check-up (16wk) on Thursday and found out...we're having a little BOY! I couldn't be more excited, I'm gonna have one of each!
I really had it stuck in my head that we were gonna be having a girl and it made sense; Abigail will maybe be 14 months when this one comes (he's due Aug. 7 & she was born June 14- a week early); they would have a lot of the same friends, it'd work out great with clothes, and they would be fine sharing a room for forever.
I wasn't even letting myself think that it could possibly be a boy. I just can't stop thinking about it. I was sure that Abby was gonna be a boy, even after we had a couple ultrasounds that said she was a girl. Not that I have anything against girls; honestly, I'm a little jealous of Abby I always wished that I had a twin brother or at least one that was a little closer to my age. I'm just excited that our little family is growing.
