15 weeks and 6 days

What a morning.

Would I even call it a morning?

Last night I struggled with another strain of migraines, which kept my overweight body awake until 7:30am. When I finally dozed off, my alarm went off at 7:45am to get Payton ready for school.

I felt like a zombie. Not the "Thriller" type zombie, which was obviously drug induced and very energetic, but the real type of zombie.

The ones buried 6 feet under.

I struggled keeping up with the morning to get Payton ready, but finally did it. Since her preschool is so close to my grandparent's house, I stopped by and tried to catch some zzzs. I did for about an hour and woke up feeling worse.

We played nap time when Payton got home from school. Thank goodness Josh got up early after pulling his third shift last night to give me a break.

I don't give him enough credit for how awesome he really is.

Other than the migraines, this pregnancy hasn't been to shabby. I had a bout with insomnia a few weeks ago, but now you can't keep my whale like appearance awake for more then 4 hours at a time.

And that my friends - is nice.

We only have 10 days until we find out what we're bringing into this crazy household. I'm trying not to psych myself up too much knowing it's a 50/50 shot at a boy. Our luck we'll have 2 drama queens to run this house, and poor Josh will be out hormoned.

Deep down I just pray that it's a healthy baby - but knowing it has a penis would be nice :)

I mean afterall, there are already 6 little girls on Josh's dads side of the family. His mammy and pappy have 6 little great-grand daughters.

I'm a little nervous of how Josh will take it if it's a girl. Obviously he loves Payton more then I could have ever imagined a man loving a little girl, but I know in the back of his mind he wants a little buddy; a little hunting pal, fishing pal and someone to get dirty and rough. (All the things Payton has made very clear that she will try, but will not permanently do.)

He really wants his son.

We picked out our names this week too. On the male side, it's a toss up between 2 first names. On the female side it's a toss up between 2 middle names.

I guess in 10 days we will be revealing 1 set of gender names :)

I bid you farewell for the day. My rice is boiling over. Damnit.
