Congratulations to you all! I probably sound like a busybody saying this but I genuinely think it´s important: don´t forget to deal with the negative emotions you pushed away - first by eating and drinking yourself out of this world, then by focusing on the amazing news. Your daughter will need to learn healthy coping mechanisms and our parents are the people we copy those from.

Thanks, everyone. We're SUPER excited about everything. Well, maybe not EVERYTHING - I'm fairly certain Jen isn't so thrilled about certain aspects. You know, morning sickness, being tired, random bouts of crying, all that jazz. 
Well, we went grocery shopping this past weekend and stocked up (a little bit anyway) on some healthy food choices. I went back to the grocery store tonight and got some more stuff - yogurt, salad stuff, vegetables, almond milk, etc. I'm just going to focus on moving (running, walking, jumping around like an idiot, whatever it takes) and eating healthy. I'm not going to sit here and meticulously count calories and macro-nutrients or anything. I'm just going to be smart about my eating. I'm an adult - I KNOW whether or not I should eat something.
Anyway, we have our anatomy scan in two weeks which is when we'll find out...umm...you know what? I honestly have no idea what we'll find out HAHAHAHA. I know what an anatomy scan is, I just don't know what the hell kind of information we get out of it. Oh well. Guess I'll find out soon enough HAHAHA.
I've been gone for a while so I need to catch up on some journals. I should have time in the next day or so. I'm anxious to find out what everybody else has been up to.

Me, if I ever ran into my mom's cancer...
Dude, seriously. This cancer shit is sooooo annoying. It's constant ups-and-downs with my mom. For a while she's fine, for a while she's terrible, for a while she's better, for a while she's worse, etc. Right now, she's going through a shitty time again where she keeps having bad reactions to her chemo treatments. My dad had to call 9-1-1 last night to get her to the emergency room. Now, I haven't gotten the whole story yet, but he texted me this morning and said they were home, and that he'd fill me in later. But, dude...I wish this shit would just stop. I'm done with it. And, I know my mom is too.

Mom is having some bad reactions to her chemo (again) so she's in discussions with her doctors in regard to taking a break from treatment for a while, just to let her body recover a bit. Personally, I think that's a good idea. So, we'll see where that goes. Overall, she doing ok though. It's just her post-treatment sickness that's getting to her. I'm sure once they figure it all out things will be fine. Of that, I have no doubt.
Some baby news!!!
We just had our 20-week anatomy scan the other day and everything turned out great. The baby is active and moving around, her organs were all developing and seemingly functioning just as they should be, and her rate of growth was right on track. HOWEVER, she's a stubborn little animal who doesn't like her picture being taken (just like her mom and dad) so we didn't get any really good pictures of her. She was camping out in a position where it was difficult to get images of her and she kept moving around every time the technician tried to get a good shot of her. We got a couple of profile pictures but the technician didn't even want to waste our time trying to get a detailed 3D video or any 3D pictures. So, our child is basically ALREADY being difficult. GREAT!!!
