And Baby Makes III

Dan and I are expecting. I guess its been a long time coming, if you consider my age, but good things come to those who wait. I am 17 weeks along and I really don't feel I'm pregnant but I guess that is good. I had morning sickness a few times, it was not severe nor did it last long.

My biggest complaint is that I'm getting wide. Well really what should I expect it's going to happen. But still not pleasant. Going to have to buy some big pants and tent-like shirts. I'm not a clothes-buyer to begin with so it makes it doubly hard. I always fight Dan when we go shopping...he wants me to buy more and I come out with one item if he's lucky. Iris and my mom know this well.

This child will be the 7th grandchild for both sides. There hasn't been a baby born on my side since our beautiful niece Eva was born about 3 yrs ago. On Dan's side they'll be a cousin born about a month before ours.

I'm hoping for a girl. That's really all I know, girls...I only have sisters. My mom only has sisters. Dan's side has the opposite story. Dan's father only has brothers, 4, Dan only has brothers, 4, and Dan only has nephews, 5. We are grateful for our energetic niece Savannah who was adopted and provides great balance to the Colyar cousins. We hope to provide her a cousin that she can do girl-things with. Dan doesn't really have a preference. We will know mid March which genes are stronger.
