Shopping and 6 days
I went shopping last night for some new pants. I was really trying to drag out being able to wear my regular pants but it got to the point that it was so uncomfortable that I just couldn't wear them anymore. Bending over to pick up something hurt and the best solution was to unbutton them.
I went to Ross first, so many people at work said to try there so I figured I would see what they had. The maternity section was about 3 feet long at the most it was pretty sad selection but I did happen to find 2 tops and 1 pair of jeans. I got it all for $29 so I was happy.
Next I went to the mall and I am sure that many of you can agree with me that walking through the mall sucks!! I made the mistake of walking on the bottom level where all of the little kiosks are of the crap that they try to make us buy. I hate the ones where the people jump out and want to grab you and say "Can I ask you a question?" I tell them no but it is so dang annoying. I know that it is their job but really why do they have to ask me again when I walked by again! The mall was dead their was more people working there than people shopping last night.
Anyways I parked at one end of the mall and went into JCPenny to look and see if they had a maternity section and luckily they had one. It wasn't that big but I found 2 pairs of pants and luckily I got 2 for $37 because they had a buy one and get one for $1 sale.
I made the trek down to the other end of the mall to go to Motherhood Maternity and was not happy with the selection at all. I tried on two pairs of pants and they were not me at all and not comfortable. The pants at JCPenny were much better, so that is why I bought them in the end.
Also the ultrasound is 6 days away or for those that read this on 11/6 Friday it is 5 days away. I am so excited and can't wait to find out. I just hope the baby works with us and shows us their parts.

The Golden Ticket
One of my friends said that I got the golden ticket today. I waited in line for 4 1/2 hours to get my H1N1 shot. I did end up getting it thank goodness.
Today was the last day of the Multnomah County Health Department H1N1 shot for children under 5 and pregnant women, till further notice. I had looked online at the county's website a couple of days previous when they did the first round of shots and thought I really need to get that to be safe. They had over 10 different planned places to get the shot so I was planning on going to another one next weekend. I miss read the website at first and thought that they canceled all including Saturday's. When I went back and looked at it again it dawned on my that today was my chance.
I got dressed and jumped in the car and drove down to the school that they were holding the free flu shot clinic at. When I got there it seemed like there was hundreds of people there and I really thought I would never get the shot. I was lucky enough that the guy handing out the tickets, to guarentee that a person holding the ticket would get a shot, was only 10 people ahead of me. I told him that I was 4 months pregnant and he gave me the ticket. I got the golden ticket!!!
The worst part was to come though. They had 240 shots that they could give up and I was near the end of the line. I waited for 4 1/2 hours in line to get my shot. I was so tired and my body was screaming at me to sit but their was no where to sit but on the ground. I blame my prego brain for forgetting I had a folding chair in the trunk of the car.
They also were handing out water and apples and of course I went to get a water and I didn't get one because a person in front of me that was NOT PREGNANT got it!!! I was so ticked, so I am standing in lie dying of thirst and wishing I could have water while people around me are drinking water. It almost made me cry because I was so upset about it. Granted the lady had her daughter with her but the little girl never drank the water and the women downed it all in a couple of minutes. I even seen people allowing their kids to dump out the water everywhere and play with it. I was just so angry I felt like it was so unfair and of course it was for me because I didn't have any. I seen a girl with a water bottle that has a clip that attaches to her purse and the bottle even had a straw so I knew at that point standing in line that is what I am buying.
In the end I got my shot, I was exhausted and drained by the end of the day but I was grateful for getting the shot and it was worth all the misery even though at the time I was very unhappy. Like my doctor tells me, if the benefits outweigh the risks than it is worth it.

My cups runneth over!!
The last couple of weeks I have been dealing with a bra that seems to be so small it was driving me insane. It certainly is not good when I took my bra off at night and I had marks all over. I got to a point that it looked like I was pushing out of my cups and they certainly didn't fit anymore.
Tonight we (hubby and I) went to the mall and I went to Victoria's Secret to see what kind of bras that they had that were wireless but still comfortable. This is hard for me because I have always had a bra with underwire. I walked in and the usually annoying employees were my savor tonight. I had the girl measure me and I increased a cup size. I couldn't believe it but I could believe it because my girls were uncomfotable.
I went to the fitting room and they gave me a box of bra's the only one that I wanted to try on was the wireless and I put it on and fell in love. Seriously I never thought that I could love a bra that much. It was so soft, comfortable and I actually fit into it. I went out and purchased one. I wanted to get another but they didn't have nude. I got the Body by Victoria, wireless bra.
I think it is the best bra I have ever purchased in my entire life!!

The adventures of finding maternity pants
Last night I purchased a pair of maternity pants at Target. The bonus was that they were on clearance for $15.00 but the downfall was that they are so long on me. I am going to have to learn how to hem pants. I do not necessary need them at this time but they are much more comfortable than the current pants I have. The pants I have now leave marks on my skin and I am think it might be time for some more comfortable pants.
I went to Ross tonight and their selection SUCKS!!!! Than I went to Old Navy nothing there. Went to Kohls and I they had about 6 racks of maternity clothes. The pants that were there had the longest legs it was insane. I am not short by any means but I do not wear 3 inch heels. What is the problem with clothing manufactures??? I do not wear heels I do not want to kill my feet with them and I find it completely unfair that I am forced to shop in the petite section and I am 5 foot 6 inches, grrrrrrrrrr

Heard the heart beat today
I went to my 15th week appointment today. Everything went really well and I was so happy to hear our little ones heartbeat. Today the baby had a heartbeat of 164BPM.
My doctor was training an 3rd year resident so he did the doppler. He was a very nice looking guy and had crystal blue eyes so it was hard to think of him looking down there, LOL. Just too good looking to be a OB/GYN.
I got the results of my NT scan that I did about three weeks ago now and everything was really good. I have a 1 in 1,800 chance of the baby being born with downs, 1 in 10,000 chance being born with Trisomy 18. He told me that my numbers excellent for my age. Plus I learned my blood type which was good because I had no clue before.
Now the next appointment is the big one on November 11th at the ultrasound clinic to see if we are having a boy or girl. We will have one with my regular doctor on the 24th but we are paying to find out sooner. Stay tuned for the upcoming news soon.
