Nervous, No Not Me...

Okay. That's a teensy bit of a lie. A part of me is worried. I know that the nurse told me that is can be perfectly normal to not have morning sickness, or cravings, or emotional swings. But it still just feels a little bit wrong somehow. As long as everything is normal, I am grateful. But I guess I am just a tad bit nervous. Hopefully I will feel better after next Tuesday. That is the first ultrasound. Maybe if I can just hear that tiny little heartbeat, I will feel a thousand times better.

On another note, I fly home tonight. I swear by the time July rolls around, this baby will be a world class traveler. This will be our second out of state trip in 5 days. This will also be first time on an airplane for baby. Not that the baby cares. But it's definitely a memory for me.

I'll get to Philly about 10pm. And I'm not planning on telling my mom until Friday. Geesh, what a tough 12 hours. What was I thinking when I decided that? Oh yeah, that I had big plans to tell her. I'm just excited to be able to tell her in person. This is definitely not an announcement that carries the same excitement over the phone.

A part of me is convinced that everything is absolutely fine with our tiny little baby. But part of me is so looking forward to the reassurance that I was right. Am I a complete mass of contradictions or what?

PS: Rod is convinced that the baby will be a blonde. He thinks that maybe is why I'm exhibiting more "blonde symptoms" than normal. Only time will tell...
