My little peanut is going to be a nervous wreck.

Full blow construction is officially under way. This week is also the week that baby starts hearing as well. So some of the first noises my little peanut heard was hammers, saws, oh and my dear husband making a really weird loud noise into my belly. It's probably terrified. I guess I should further explain my hubby's noise - one night he decided to get right up to my belly and just go (Uhhhhhhhhh- in a very low tone - the peanut kind of flipped out). As I said the other day when construction first started I was jumpy and when I would jump baby would jump. I am not longer so jumpy but the baby still does get starteled at really loud noises. My only hope is that somehow this translates into the peanute being able to sleep through fireworks if need be. I was talking to a friend yesterday and she asked me if when the baby jumps do I find myself trying to comfort it - like rubbing my stomach and either saying or thinking "It's okay peanut - mommy's here" or something to that effect. I laughed at the thought of it - that is until I realized that I DO that. She laughed and said she did the same thing - her little one is just 6 weeks old so she can remember exactly what it was like.

In other news, I scheduled the level 2 ultrasound for March 20th - that is when we find out the sex and as far as I am concerned that is just TOO far away. My mother-in-law wants us to try to keep it a secret - everyone else wants to know - you do the math at how much of secret it will be!
