Nope, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Things have been pretty calm around here...2 sick dogs that are driving me nuts...but, we're good. They just have upset stomachs...so, hopefully, they'll be fine in another day or 2.
We have our next appointment a week from Friday...4 weeks in between appointments is HELL!! Now I know why people buy dopplers...I seriously considered it the other day.
I have what feels like never-ending nerve attacks...just worrying about if something could be wrong. Mom says I'm just being like Daddy and creating stuff to worry about. I just get scared that something might happen. I guess this is what the rest of my life will be like! Worrying about her! I better tell Archie to have the zol.of.t on an IV drip as soon as I have her - hahah. Kidding. Well...mostly....
We went ahead and registered because I have a shower on November 7th. That was so fun...but way overwhelming! Man, baby stuff is EXPENSIVE!! But, only the best for Butterbean, right? Yeah...
Hopefully, they were right about her being a girl...since pretty much everything we picked out is pink. R was so funny - he said- I don't want anyone to mistake her for a boy...because I'll have to kick their ass. LOVE IT! He's going to be so sweet with a baby. If she turns out to be a he...well, then, we'll just adjust and go back to the naming battlegrounds...which, by the way, we are almost out of...maybe. We are duke-ing it out over middle names at the moment, but hopefully, unless I change my mind again, we've settled on a first name. I'm not going to monogram anything just yet :) I think it'd be easier if their name was just tattooed on their foot or something...can't God send these miracles with a pre-filled out birth certificate like at Baby Land General????
Random post...it's just where I'm at today. Nervous/anxious to hear her heartbeat again...pretty much all consumed with fear that I won't hear it. Maybe I should go get one of those dopplers tonight....

Just wanted say HI! Good to see a post from you and that you and butterbean are doing so well!
I think the nerves are how I will be if I ever get preggers! I know all along the IF road we say to hang in there. Hope you aren't tired of it, cuz I'm gonna say it again ;-) Hang in there!! I am sure things are fine!!! and Butterbean will be wavin' at you in 4 weeks! Can't wait for more updates. They make me happy that these miracles can happen ... and even for those of not quite there yet... it gives me hop that we will be there one day!
Next Friday can't get here fast enough, can it? Love your new blog look...and registering?! How fun!
Always glad to hear how things are going with you. Where all did you register? I can't wait to register! Must be fun knowing you'll have a shower in the not to distant future.
Fun fun fun! So excited for you and your Cabbage Patch! I told Nick this whole process was like going to Babyland General and picking out which one you wanted. Too funny!
Would love to get together soon!
I am happy to hear that you are doing well and I hope the time starts going by fast for you!
It's good to see a post from you, Tara. It really sounds like things are going well and that you are getting lots done (registering and naming). Exciting stuff!
I say splurge on the doppler if it will ease your mind. (-;
I have a feeling I'd be all over that doppler idea -- doesn't sound even remotely odd to me! :) I'm so glad things are going well. Have fun registering and battling for names. I remember my sister all prepared with a name for one of her girls and then, in the afterglow of birth, declared the name not NEARLY good enough and changed it slightly on the spot to suit the little sweetie she'd just met. It will be fun to hear what you ultimately choose!
