IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!
I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!! We went and had the ultrasound and the tech was checking everything and then said "uh oh" I asked "WHAT is it?!" and she said, "It has the umbilical cord between it's legs...." to which I replied, "DO you want me to do a headstand? Because I will....really....I am not even kidding...really." She started to laugh and told me to hold on that. Kris kept saying (like he did with Abram before we found out) "Look at his legs, look at his...." She kept moving the thing around and then Kris yells (be prepared for correct body term usage) "I SEE A PENIS! THAT IS A PENIS!" And yes....he did yell it, along with "I KNOW what I am talking about!" right after. The tech started laughing and said "Yes, that is what it appears to be." Then as Kris was chanting "YES! YES!" to Abram and giving him high fives we continued with the ultrasound. At the end she said "I guess he wants you to know for sure because those legs are a flappin' open now." It was a great day, I am so happy, now to give the little guy a name..........

Counting Down...............
TOMORROW IS THE DAY..........in the morning..........9:40am to be exact, well depending on the crowd trying to make it to the doctor before the holidays.........I have a feeling the baby would be a boy, then a girl, then a boy.......now I am not sure. I had a dream the other night (a pretty calm one compared to my usual crazy David Hasselhoff is stalking me, etc kind of pregnancy dreams) where I went to the doctor, and the ultrasound machine was broken and after the doctors argued over making me wait a few more weeks they pulled out one that was very, very old. They told me that it would have to project on the wall. Everything was fine and I could see the baby and the person doing the ultrasound said "Ahhh...here we are, it's a...." and then I woke up-SO MAD. My biggest fear is that the baby will be crossing it's legs or something, better drink some OJ or chocolate milk before I go! I feel calm, nervous, and excited at the same time!!! AHHHHH!!! Be sure to check the blog tomorrow!!!!

Second Time's a Charm.............
I just got back from seeing the movie again. Here is the story, I have some friends who are as obsessed as I am about this book. So we joked around about seeing it Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night. One of my obsessed friends had to go to Kentucky this week, so we said we would see it with her on Saturday. Then one of my fellow obsessors bought a ticket for Friday because that's what we had planned months ago-sooooo we are going three times this weekend-don't judge me. I tell you what, we all agreed that we liked it much better the second time than the first. I think it was because our expectations weren't as high. Either way, there you have it.

Recovering.............
So I went to the midnight showing of Twilight last night. By the way, this is not recommended if you have a 2 year old. What I mean by this is, if you are feeling all crazy, and need a night out with the girls, so you decide this would be an awesome idea, but then you don't get to bed until 3am-ish and then your cute little muffin wakes up at 6ish, it makes for a very, VERY long day.
I am hesitant to do a review this early because I know many of you haven't seen it yet. Therefore I will try to be very vague, and if you don't want to read this....I understand-so stop now.
First of all, I need to say that I have never been to a movie that I have read the
book. This is sad, but I am not much of a reader, that is, until this series came along. I knew the movie wouldn't be as good as the book-it's impossible. There is no way that you can cram so many pages into 2 hours, I was prepared for that. So, some of it felt very rushed (obviously). I thought the actors for the main characters were better than I thought they would be. Rob Pattinson is a great Edward and all of the "tension", charm, and smoothness was portrayed very well by him. It was also a lot funnier than I thought it would be-but this is because I read the book, so even though so many things weren't explained (due to lack of time), knowing the background made some of the little comments throughout pretty hilarious. In fact, I found myself laughing out loud many times.
The action was awesome-particularly (this was on previews, so I am not ruining anything) the baseball scene and the dance studio scene-very intense. There was also some cheesy parts that they could have left out or substituted for more of what was in the book (you will know what I am talking about when you see it). I know this is very vague-but like I said before, I do not want to ruin it for those going to see it. I do hope if you go see it, that you have read the book, otherwise it may come across as a teeny bopper cheesy movie.
So overall, I liked it. And I am going to see it again tonight (long story) so I may have a different account as of tonight because the theater in my town has a 21 and over showing, I guess to cut down on the screaming when the hot guy comes on the screen. While on the way home, I was thinking that I sat through 3 hours of Titanic and The Lord of the Rings, why couldn't they have added another hour to this???? Please leave your comments if you have seen it......hope I didn't ruin anything!!

You KNOW I am going!!!!!
So I have been going on and on and on (and on) about this for months. And it's finally here this week!!! Twilight the movie!!!! Not only am I going, I have tickets to the midnight release!!!!! I will have to take and nap beforehand so I will stay awake (although I don't think it'll be a problem-but the whole "growing a baby" thing ya know) and I might cry on the way home (knowing that Abram will be waking up 4 hours later). But nevertheless, I am going to be there! Kris was laughing at me as I was planning my strategy. I am thinking (hoping, praying) that the teeny boppers (no offense to teeny boppers, I love you and I was one) will have school the next day so maybe there won't be a lot of them there....and Kris interjects with "So I guess this means you are going to be fighting other moms for a seat-that's pretty funny." I must admit the image made me laugh. Me and my pregnant belly having to take someone down. So I have this to look forward to this week, and then ONE WEEK FROM TODAY we get to see the baby and find out if it's a boy or a girl!!!! Woo Hoo!! And then we will have to start packing......but I am not ready to blog about that yet..................
