and the flood gates opened


It's been an interesting week I must say. Husband woke up early for work this past Sunday. Still half asleep I was able to make out the muffled "holy shit!" bellowing from the living room. It seems at some point during the night a pipe burst near our hot water heater...and it didn't just spring a leak...it poured for a good 7 hours. We awoke to our living room, kitchen, and back bedroom flooded with water! Luckily we are renting, so we called the emergency maintenance. A good half an hour later someone showed up. He ripped up all the carpeting and had to shop vac out all of the water. Right now I have no home. The condo complex gave us a guest suite to stay in. We have stayed at our home every night anyway....since our bedroom was the only place untouched by the water. All of our stuff is there...clothes..etc.., it's just inconvenient to stay somewhere else. Now we have to wait for them to replace the carpeting and send out a crew of specialists to check the extent of the water damage, and make sure there will be no mold. Onto better news. Yesterday was my first doctor's appointment. I am now officially two months....only 7 more to go. Husband and I saw the ultrasound and were able to see our little fava bean. Actually thats really all it looked like, so I really can't tell you it's cute or anything. We also got to see the heart beating...just a flickering thing in the middle of the little pod. I guess it was pretty cool, made it all a little more real. The morning sickness seems to have settled down to a mild all day/night nausea...much better! Hopefully it will continue to fade away. I guess thats all. I have the day off, so instead of blabbing more about nothing, I think I am going to come check out what you guys have been up to. Hope all is well. (just uploaded a pic for y'all, don't be jealous at how hot it is already...)

OMG! That's the last thing you needed! I am glad that everything is getting fixed though! Hopefully, that will be the last awful thing to happen for awhile.

I'm so excited about the baby! What a feeling it must be to finally see the heartbeat and everything. What a blessing!

Don't be a stranger! XO

having an indoor pool must be nice, so long as it didn't use to be your living room or something.

Has it been two months already? My how time flies!

I had the same experience as you when I went for the sonogram years back... somehow, that's when it becomes so real. (Not to mention the ferocious appetite and expanding waistline that came into play, haha!)

We are all anxious *aunties & uncles*, so keep us posted when you can.

And good luck on the flood damage... I can't blame you for not wanting to stay anywhere else than in your own apartment..... unless room service were involved.

Take care!

OMG CS!! CONGRATULTIONS!!

I know I've been MIA myself for the past few months and have just gone back thru your posts to read about this unbelievable and remarkable occurance!

I'm so happy for you and Husband!

I know positively NOTHING about being pregnant and am loving reading about your take on things so far... I hope you continue to check in with us and share your experiences, I will certainly be around to listen!

Congratulations! (albeit a little late)

Please, please don't call the little guy a fava bean. When I think of fava beans, I think of Anthony Hopkins, and that just isn't right. Call him/her your little forthcoming bundle of joy or your little angel or anything else (my mom referred to me as a PITA, but that was after I was born), just not a fava bean.

Sorry about bringing forth that image... Otherwise, good luck with the pregnancy!
