Verdict is in!

Here's a story problem for you.... The Jackson Family has four girls and one boy, Come the new year this will change there will be a total of six but with 5 of one and only one of the other. What is the new baby? You guessed it, I am having a GIRL! Of course this throws a small wrench in things. Where do we put her? We have 5 bedrooms and will have 6 kids, 5 girls and one boy. The two girls rooms are filled to over flowing now. Bryan's room is the only one with room. SO, for a while we will have to bunk up a girl and boy. I have two girls already ready to fight for that. LOL! I don't think they realize what that means. The best part of all of this is she has all the right things in the right place, everything seems perfect. She is a bit stubborn and unwilling to show everything in a timely fashion or in a "normal" order. She is breach and all curled up in a ball. Tight and facing my spine. Hard to get a good view of her face, no profile view either.

Boy or girl?

  Tomorrow I will be officially 21 weeks and Monday is my ultrasound. Any guesses on boy or girl? Or twins? Lindsey took this picture again, I asked for my head not to be cut off. This was the second, the first had a smile. :) Love it!

UGH!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry this is a venting post

I HATE being pregnant! Hate hate hate hate it! The issues I tend to have are occuring faster this time around. Which of course I'm not pleased about! The light headedness is here to stay (usually the 3rd trimester) and along with it are the dang varicose veins. They make me feel like my insides are falling out and tons of pressure. The treatment for them, causes other issues. UGH!!!!! I am trying an herb I read about and hope that helps. So for the past little while I have been laying down on my left side as much as I can. Modified bed rest, is what my doctors in the past called it. I have only had one bought of sciatica, Hallelujah! As you can imagine with all the laying down I have done in the past 4 months, my house has become a disaster. My kids and husband seemed to do half jobs here and there, which didn't keep things up. I did half jobs too. Then when my vomitting subsided (I'm too chicken to try without the unisom), that stopped and it was back on me. N
