Julie Pyatt

Okay, so is the anticipation killing you yet?  LOL!  ;-)  I couldn’t update yesterday and tell everyone whether it was a boy or girl cause I hadn’t been able to get a hold of all my family members yet.  I didn’t want any of them to find out from reading my blog.  It’s just not very personal.  I know you guys understand.

So… here we go… the ultrasound lady yesterday confirmed that we are having… a girl. 

That’s right… a girl.  Took me by surprise cause for some reason I really felt like I was going to have a boy.  I am excited and definitely happy.  I would’ve been happy either way so this is cool.  We’re having a girl.

God is good!

Everyone keeps asking me so I’m going to blog it and then maybe everyone will stop asking me.  We will find out if Baby Pyatt is a boy or a girl next Tuesday, Oct. 21st.  I promise we will tell everyone once we find out what it is.  And no, I have no preference for it to be a boy or a girl.  I will be very happy either way. 

On a side note, please be praying for me.  I got sick a couple of weeks ago and I’m still fighting the same junk.  I’ll get better and then I’ll get worse and then I’ll get better and then I’ll get even worse.  It’s really frustrating.  I’ve been trying to rest and do everything I’m supposed to in order to get better but it doesn’t seem to be helping much.  So your prayers are very much appreciated.

Okay so everyone has been telling me I’ll start feeling the baby move soon.  I’m not sure what it’s supposed to feel like so until I really feel the baby move and then I know how it feels, I’m not sure if this is the first real movement or not but I thought it was noteworthy enough to blog about.

Last night in church during praise and worship, all of a sudden I felt a pressure in the top left side of my abdomen.  It felt like someone’s fist was pushing against my stomach wall from the inside.  It wasn’t a quick come-and-go feeling, not a flutter or anything like that.  It was really weird.  It happened on and off for most of the evening.  So I might have felt my kid move but I might just be having some sort of weird cramps too so who knows.  Still… it’s a cool thought.

I felt absolutely exhausted after work on Friday so instead of going to the youth rally (which I was really bummed about missing), I went home and went to bed at 6:30PM.  I woke up Saturday morning at 8:00AM totally refreshed and feeling much more like myself.  Guess all you need sometimes is 13 1/2 hours of sleep. 

Anyway, I had a pretty productive weekend.  I cleaned the house, finished cleaning the dirty dishes, folded four loads of laundry and did two more loads of laundry, packed up the rest of the downstairs at my in-laws house and packed up my old closet.  Whew!  Now all I have left to do at the old house is pack up the upstairs linen closet and the spare bedroom and Kenny will need to get any other things from his office he might have left.  Then we’ll be done!!!  Well… then I need to sell the rest of the furniture I left at the house and get rid of all the junk in the garage.  Ugh… so much to do and so little time.  I don’t care!  I’m not going to let the feeling of “too much to do” ruin my feeling of accomplishment over how much I was able to do this weekend.

Finishing things is a good feeling.

On another note, I took my wonderful friend, Melissa, to lunch for her 30th birthday yesterday at Fulin’s Asian on the Avenue and she ended up giving me a huge garbage bag full of really nice maternity clothes.  I’m totally stoked!
