Ultrasound:loving for two and a great baby shower

Yesterday, we had our doctor's visit. We are going to be going every week now that we have reached the final month of pregnancy. We saw a new doctor (we are encouraged to meet everyone in the group; My doctor may not be on call when I go into labor) So we discussed the changes in Bug. We told her about his need to get in our be every night. His tantrums and the misbehavior at his daycare. She told us that it may be the new baby, but she also reminded us that with his expanding imagination and growing language skills, he understands more and is starting to become afraid of things and may be afraid at night. She indicated that the behavior at school may also be a stage that most 3-year-olds go through. I did not think about this. I thought that all of this was because Baby Nick is coming. I felt so much better after our visit with the doctor. After our doctor's visit, we had another ultrasound. We did not get a video from our first 4-D ultrasound visit so they scheduled another one. It was so cute. He licked his tongue out and licked his arm and chewed his fingers. It was so cute. I just can't wait to meet him.  While at the ultrasound, Fred received a call from the daycare telling him that Bug was not feeling well. This was the first time ever that I understood having two kids. At that moment, they were both on my mind. I was so glad to see my new baby on the video and the ultrasound screen, but my Bug was also on my mind. I never could have imagined how to love two kids the same amount.  I had my first experience with this yesterday. This must be a little taste of how God has each and every one of us on His mind at all times. In a way, I can understand on a small scale God's great love for us. AWESOME!

Today, was a great day. I had a baby shower at my office. Because of the stress and jealousy that was at my last home baby shower. I decided that I was not going to have a personal shower. The wonderful people at work (PRN job) gave me one this year and I was going to leave it at that, but my high school friend/church member offered to do one for me. Then I had to decide who to invite.  So I invited everyone; family,friends and old acquaintances. So who ever came, came. It was great. Her husband made the food and she decorated and brought a beautiful cake. My Ole Miss College friend from Nashville came as well as my teacher friends and another one of my college buddies, my buddy from my gym came as well. We played games that I have never played before. I felt so special. It was great! I was so worried. I didn't know who would come 'cause I knew my family members would not attend. But Fred assured me that the people that need to be there WILL be and He was so right. It was perfect. I could not have asked for a better office baby shower. Thanks so much K.M. and J.B for such a great shower. Thanks to all of my friends that attended. I love you all very much. I don't know why I worry so much, God ALWAYS works things out.  When my friend gets back to Nashville, she is going to email the pictures to me and I will post them. I'll write later....until then world.
