Ugh, I can’t believe it’s still raining! I was going to take Ava to see the parade today, but I kind of have a feeling they’ll cancel it now.

We’re home and finally getting back into our routine.

We had a really good trip….we got to see Chad’s grandparents on both sides, which was nice, since they haven’t seen Ava since Sabrina’s graduation party. We also got to spend time with everyone else, too, of course.

The trip there and back was rough, just because we were so exhausted. Luckily, the morning sickness stayed away during the drive. I did throw up for the first time during this pregnancy while we were up there, though. I also developed an aversion to meat. *rolling eyes*

We got back late Sunday night and I had my first OB appointment first thing Monday morning. We got to hear the heartbeat…160 bpm!! Chad says that means it’s another girl because that’s what Ava’s heartbeat always was. When he said that, my doctor said that statistically, once you have a baby of one gender, you have a 65% chance of having the second baby being the same gender and if you have two of the same gender, you have a 70% chance of the third baby being the same gender. We’ll see though…we get our big ultrasound in 8 weeks!!

Chad took off work today, too, since I’m really not feeling good (I had the usual 6 vials of blood drawn yesterday and I don’t remember it ever affecting me like this….I’ve been completely exhausted even though I’ve gotten lots of extra sleep). He got Ava’s room painted for me (he let me do the second coat, though, so I could say I helped LOL) so now all I have left to do is the stenciling. If Ava and I are both feeling OK tomorrow (she has a major case of diarrhea….she has a doctor appointment first thing in the morning), we’ll go shopping for a stencil and acrylic paint.

OK, I’ve got a *TON* of payu2blog posts to do now. So much for going to bed early!

Have you been looking into getting fitness equipment ? Someday we might have to invest in one of these. It would be so neat to have a form of exercise that you can do in your own home that’s actually enjoyable! Chad thinks these are “so cool” too, so we’d probably have to get two. Or we’d have to take turns.
