Weather wise this summer/fall has been pretty non-existent. I feel like I’m back in California where we had two seasons. Summer and winter. I think summer this year lasted for 2 weeks. Half of August we spent in sweaters. Now in October we have heaters running and 50 degrees feels like 20.

Imagine in a month or so we’re going to be in the 20s and hoping for 30-40 degrees. I just can’t believe it.

I also can’t believe Christmas is almost here. I know, I know, no one wants to hear it. I sure don’t want to think about it. I love the holidays but love them more when I have money!

On other news we now have nine days until our first ultrasound. The doctor tried to hear the heartbeat with the doppler for the second time and couldn’t find it. Of course, from what I’ve been told by family and online, it is way too early. They tried at 8 weeks as well. What is the baby the size of? A raspberry. Throw that onto I’m not a small woman and how the hell do you expect to find that itty bitty heartbeat?

Of course at 11 weeks when they tried I got kind of upset. They want us to come in on the 8th, 4 days before the ultrasound. We’re going to call and tell them we have a flat tire and can’t get out there. I don’t want to sit there a week later and not hear it and get upset. What good is it going to do 4 days before the ultrasound?

Waste of gas it would be! Considering it is about 45 minutes drive. Pssh.

Now depending on where you look the baby is the size of a lime or a fig. Who knows which of these sites are correct but it’s amazing how fast they grow.

If only I could get some of that pregnancy heat that people talk about. Then I’ll be good…
