10 weeks

Jellybean is 10 weeks 2 days of today. Only one more week till we go back to the Dr to check up on everything. This is the longest Mommy has been without seeing the Dr (last appointment was October 23rd when Jellybean was 7 weeks 4 days) Its been a long few weeks and Mommy and Daddy still have another week to go. At times Mommy gets anxious and worried that something is going wrong with Jellybean and she won't know for another week but so far everything seems to be ok. All the symptoms still remain, peeing a lot, gas, moodiness, growth, and vivid dreams. Mommy bought a home doppler recently and it came in last week. Mommy and Daddy have tested it twice now and we believe we found Jellybean both times. Though the counter wasn't working properly, and Mommy was told it might be too early for the counter to really read anything, Mommy and Daddy did hear something that they felt sounded like what they heard at the Dr's office. Even though its not much Mommy does feel more reassured by it just simply because something is making noise down there and that seems reassuring. Mommy is counting down the days till the Dr appointment and hopes that everything will be well then with a healthy growing Jellybean right on schedule.

In the meantime Mommy was thinking about what Jellybean would be like after he was born. What traits from Mommy and Daddy will he take, what traits will he inherit from other family members, or even traits he has all to his own. So far Mommy has compiled this small list which will probably be added to as Jellybean grows

Jellybean I hope you inherit from Mommy
- her love of God, animals, sleep (this one would be great especially those first few months), & reading
-friendliness
-memory (if Mommy's ever returns)


I hope you inherit from Daddy
-his easy going nature and patience
-his appetite
-his math and science abilities


I do hope you inherit spelling abilities that are better then both your parents or there will be a lot of late night spelling crams in the future.

I also hope that you don't inherit Mommy's ADHD because even though Mommy is fine with it and feels it is an integral part of herself it does make life a bit harder at times and I'd rather your life be easier then mine was in the school department.

Also Mommy hopes that you develop confidence in yourself and your abilities at an earlier age then Mommy did. Though we all go through our own personal experiences and struggles to make us we are and Mommy's experiences have certainly helped shape the person she is today it wasn't always fun and easy and Mommy hopes that her struggles can help you have a happier life sooner.
