Acquiring Satellite Signal

Oh... how I hate it when that happens.  Especially when you want to figure out what's going on w/the weather!

When it rains it pours... LITERALLY!

I'm not even sure what time it really started storming yesterday morning, but I know it was really early.

Then I headed off for work & wow talk about a mistake.  Should've just stayed home & not even bothered to attempt it, but ya really never know how bad the roads or traffic is until you actually get out there & see for yourself.  Know what I mean?  Well after a grooling 2 hours on the highway & not even half way to work yet... I decided it simply wasn't worth the trip.  I made my way off the highway, turned around & headed back to home!

Don't worry... I will write more about "The Great Flood" from yesterday... in another post.

So here's the next exciting thing...

Fred & I bought one of those Intelligender Gender Prediction Test's on Sunday.  Just because we were curious to know.  After I got it home & read the instructions, we had to wait til morning before I could take it.  So yesterday morning, I took the test & the results showed a BOY!  Now... we just have to wait & see if the results are right or not when I go for the ultra sound in another 3-4 weeks.  My next actual dr appointment is next Monday, but I don't think they can actually see anything until you are 19-20 weeks along.  I could be wrong though.  I guess I'll ask the dr on Monday when I see him.  Hopefully Fred will be able to go with me Monday just in case they can already do the ultra sound & find out what it is then.  If he can't make it then I won't go ahead with the ultra sound.  I don't want to find out without him there with me.  I don't think that would be very fair at all.

So just with the results from that test & it saying it's a boy... we're both excited.  Fred's really excited though.  He really wants a boy.  Really we're excited either way, if it's a boy or a girl.  It doesn't really matter to us.  It's still OUR baby no matter what, which is just really awesome to think about.  A baby that will be a combination of both of us... wow that's a really great feeling.

I honestly couldn't have ever imagined exactly what it would feel like to be pregnant, but wow... what a shock.  I'm sure there's a lot more yet to come since I'm only 15 weeks, but right now I get so exhausted so easily.  I feel like such a weenie sometimes.  The heat has been a killer though.  Being out in the extreme heat of the summer always wears ya down fast, but being prego along with the heat... wow... total wipe out.

I think if I could somehow take a nap every afternoon for like an hour, I would feel fine.  Mornings aren't really that bad for me as long as I go to bed early the night before.  The afternoons are tough though.  I almost can't function because my eyes just want to close on me.  It sucks.  Someone needs to come up with some sort of prego energy boosting pill or something.
