I still have to scan the ultrasounds, but apparently the baby is a boy. We are really happy and excited to have a little boy to raise up, especially because Mike and I each have a daughter already. The girls are excited too.
Today we registered at BabysRus for baby shower gifts. I'm nervous to be the recipient of attention and gifts, but we do need it and I really want to celebrate this baby and his upcoming birth. My mother is having a nice traditional baby shower at her home and also, my step-mother is having a more modern, co-ed babyshower/baby-que at her home for us. I'm really looking forward to both parties.
I'm still working part-time. I put my notice in for Jan.30th, which would put me at 24 weeks pregnant, but now I've decided to extend myself for another 4-6 weeks possibly. We'll see. I'm supposed to give 30 days notice, but I believe that will be almost impossible. I'm going to do my best. I am a hairstylist by trade and stand on a concrete floor for hours. I also find myself bending over for minutes at a time at the shampoo bowl, as well as at the chair, so my back really aches at the end of the day. My left hip has been giving me a lot of trouble too. I think I must have some ergonomic habits that aren't too good for me overall.
