So sleepy..but heart's a pumpin' strong :)

Just a quick entry.  Kaitlynne got up at 3am this morning and never went back to bed..and made sure we were all pretty much up with her-needless to say, we're all not happy campers.  She's asleep, I HAD to take a nap a little earlier, Alex and I are just relaxing now.  We're going to get Katie on Saturday, then Sunday we're going to my brother's for Mexican dinner, then Monday we're going to Busch Gardens (small glitch w/ the Disney plans, we figured this would be better in the long run anyway).  It's looking like hopefully Alex's other brother will be working graveyard shift at the hotel soon (probably just on the busy days, and hopefully starting tomorrow), so he won't have to do that crappy 3am shift.

Got our layaway the other day...lady asked if we had twin girls, I said no, just two 8 year olds between us (bought 2 of everything..lol).  Alex's dad called and wanted to know what the girls wanted.  Told him Bratz or Barbies-he said he wants to spend more $$ then that on them, gave the ideas HE had (I was like are you KIDDING me??..LOL).  It made the brothers' uncomfortable because their dad only does it once in awhile-I just go w/ the flow on it (learned that from dealing w/ my dad..never consistent)...it's the thought that counts.  He wants us all together for Christmas dinner, too, but one brother is saying he will absolutely NOT go because of one of the other brother's being there.  I know every family has their crap..but I just find it really sad that the crap can't be forgotten for one day...

For today...we took Kaitlynne to her speech appt, then to my doc appt.  Our OB had to leave at the last second to do a delivery (happens w/ him alot, part of the job..lol), so we had the option of staying and waiting for 45m-to an hour, or seeing his assistant.  We saw his assistant, since this was a quick routine visit anyway.  I haven't gained any further weight (tho I'm definately popping), bp was good, and the heartbeat was in the 140's!  Kaitlynne got to hear it this time, she was standing by Alex whispering, "Is that the heart?" over and over, was cute :)  I had the option to get the u/s early next week, or wait until the week after-I chose the week after, so 2 weeks from now (I'll be 18 weeks, and assuming little one cooperates, have a really good chance at seeing gender-tho mommy is saying girl..lol).

That's it for tonight, I'm sure I'm missing something, but my brain is foggy tonight... (no comment from the peanut gallery).
