24 Weeks

So I have officially have a little soccer player in my belly! Baby Boys kicks are frequent and regular and getting strong! Unfortunetly we can't feel them from the outside, so brian can't feel him yet.. but hopefully soon. I finally look like i have a minature basketball for my belly, i look preggo now and not just fat, and my belly expands past my chest finally! hehe I took this picture this morning and just have been obsessed i don't know why, maybe cuz its the first picture ive taken that actually looks like im having a baby :) My little boy is growing so fast 16 more weeks to go :) I am so much more in love everyday and can't wait to meet him!

Although everything is good and healthy with baby and I, we have had a rough couple of weeks, with family issues, some resolved, some not, trying to switch OB's ( which has been hell) Deciding to move out of the place were living right before baby is born, house issues, all 3 dogs got sick at the same time, school ( i think i spread myself thin this sememster) anxiety, its been rough! But hopefully we will make it through it all!

So about 2 weeks ago, I went on a crazy shopping spree, I felt as if i had nothing and was unprepared so I went a little crazy so i could feel like we are getting well prepared. Since the only big thing we really had was the carseat and stroller, i purchased the playpen, the swing, the bouncing seat, the activity gym for the floor, the baby bath tub, some more clothes, the diaper genie, the bottles, some pacifiers, and some odds and ends. Yes i went a little crazy and definitly broke my pockets. The only big stuff we have left is the nursery furniture, the monitors, and the breast pump. We still need a lot of stuff, sheets, blankets, lotions, diapers etc... well get there, but i definitly feel a lot better that we are some what prepared now.

Well that pretty much sums up my last month of excitement... Tune in for some more soon.

Due Date Moved Up:)

So today was my 20w appt, the norm pee in a cup, check your blood pressure, heartbeat, and measurement! Everything is good ;) Dr. Gave results back for blood work and anatomy scan. Blood work came back good for downs and cystic, which means baby is very low risk of having it. Blood work showed 1 in 800 then with the scan results it went to 1 in 3300! So that is great news! He also said the anatomy scan looked good baby is doing great and growing fine. Baby also measured 5 days ahead. So my due date changed to 1/6/13. Very exciting. Maybe it will be a christmas or new years baby :) I still have a hunch that this little boy will be here in DEC. Don't know why but im just convinced! so instead of 20 weeks I am now 20w 5 days almost a week ahead of schedule :) I only gained 1 pound again. Im sure i will start gaining more soon! but in the meantime I'm glad I have no been one to gain that much, considering I had some lbs to spare :)

20 w 5 days

 Mommy is feeling great! Although I have been getting a lot of anxiety, and these past couple weeks have been stressful! Doc says i need to stay away from stress... so I cut out the fat and the problems in my life and im starting to feel a lot lighter :) I do have lots more energy, although I do get out of breath more often then not. School started again and Im taking a full schedule 4 classes and going 4 days a week. So I have been a busy little bee :) Its good though it keeps my mind occupied, and I really like my Psych class. I think I might make a career out of it, we shall see. By the time school is done I will be ready to pop! Just in time for baby :)! Very excited to have my parents and sisters here when baby boy comes, especially around the holidays!

So last weekend Brian and I went shopping for some newborn clothes and blankets and such. I have always been drawn to girl clothes everytime I go into a store. But there are actually such cute little boy clothes! I loved it I had so much fun! Frogs and giraffes and elephants! We bought some recieving blankets and some sox, and onesies and some PJ's. Im soo excited I just want to hold my little boy! Next thing on our list is the play pen/ pack and play. We have decided to use that as our bassinet as well. We dont' really see a point in the bassinet( yes its smaller) but why waste more money when the pack and play is just as comfortable as the bassinet. Which personally i don't think either of those plastic mattress are comfy, but whatever!

Well thats pretty much everything exciting thats happened lately. Next month have to do some more bloodwork, my glucose testing to make sure my body is proccesing that sugar! arghhh! Hopefully everything turns out just fine! but until then.....

The Verdict Is In...........

BOY!!!!!!

Profile

Wee Wee

Baby Feet :)

So last Wednesday the 15th was the anatomy scan for the baby, The tech seemed to be sure that everything was good and we have a healthy happy boy on our hands. I haven't heard from the doctor after the scan so I am assuming NO news is GOOD NEWS! I have my 20 week appt on Friday and I will get the results of my blood work and anatomy scan. Im thinking everything turned out just fine:) or I'm sure they would of called me.

So its exciting to finally know what I am growing in my belly! Its exciting to know what I can shop for now :) Little boy stuff is soo cute, he is going to be such a little rock star! My family could not be more thrilled to be adding a boy into the family after 4 girls! and 2 granddaughters and only 1 grandson so far. So finally we will have number 2 boy on the way in the fam.

Baby boy is moving like crazy! he is sitting super low and i swear he is playing on top of my bladder! Tonight I was laying in bed and felt a kick and i actually felt it on my hand through my stomach this time which was very exciting!!! Its so reassuring to feel him move! I can't wait for his arrival, I know he will make my life just a little bit brighter, nothing compares to what i feel for this little one already, I am sooo inlove with him!

.

18 Weeks 4 Days

Oh hello Baby Bump and maternity shorts, Yup its official I am in the spandex band shorts! ahhh. Although I still have not gained a pound! Somedays I do if i eat too much but mostly I have remained the same! Which is great! Maybe baby is eating all my stored Fat! bahahah! Otherwise I feel great!

Sooo even though Im going to blog tomorrow I just couldn't stay away Im WAY TOOO EXCITED! Soo Tomorrow we find out if Baby is on Team Pink or Team Blue! Im soo anxious I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight! I have very vivid dreams that the tech is pointing out the peepee and saying ITS a boy, but then I sit there and think that what if it is a Girl! I don't know. Its all soo weird that we will be finding out, I am kind of nervous because I feel like i went all this way without knowing, why not just wait and and be surprised?!?!?! But then I would feel very unprepared and Brian Really really really wants to know! Plus everytime we go into the store to buy something nuetral we veer towards not buying it because we want to wait till we know! ahhh! I just can't believe the day has finally come!!!!

So back to school for me next week! I have 4 classes this semester and the semester ends exactly when i will be 9 months! I hope i don't get warn out and tired or too big to drive! Plus I have speech this semester so i will be nice and big and pregnant and giving speeches! YIKES!

Well i guess Life has been boring... Until tomorrow!!!!

16 weeks continued.....

So I went to my family physician on Friday morning because I have been having tightness and some swelling in my right calf. Doc decided he wanted me to go for an ultrasound of the Calve and Leg to check on the veins in my leg to make sure i was getting adequate bloodfall and was not forming a blood clot. So I went and got that done at the radiology place my friend works/shes the boss. Well since they already had the ultrasound machine for my leg we got to take a sneak peek at the baby..... We thought maybe we would be able to see the gender, the tech said at 16 weeks she most likely would be able to tell.....

 WELL............................................
Baby did not want to cooperate! He/She would not open its legs and plus the cord was between the legs! aww schucks... an IMPROMPTU ultrasound and baby didn't want to show off his privates! Must of been because Daddy wasn't there!! The cool part about it was Brianna got to see the baby on the screen, it was moving and kicking and shaking its legs, bouncing up and down! It was too cute! Made me feel good to see my little nugget again! I guess were gonna have to wait until the 15th to find out what it is!

16 weeks :)

16 Weeks

baby is measuring 5 inches Long

it now weighs 3.5 oz

about the size of an Avacado!

Ahh yes we made it to 4 months! The feeling of joy and excitement and relief! I had my 16 week appointment on Wednesday, babys heartbeat is at 148/bmp which is great! I only gained back 2 pounds this past month! Yeah i know after 20weeks I'll be packing on the pounds. Although I can finally eat salad and meat, well not chicken, and i can eat eggs again, which is great! This appointment i had to be sent to do bloodwork to look for genetic disorders, cystic fibrosis and downs syndrome gene. I think we should be ok, nither of those genetic disorders run on either side of the family so my chances should be slim to none! Lets keep our fingers crossed!

My clothes pretty much still fit except for bottoms I have a bump and its growing and its hard sooo crazy, by the end of the day with all the water and after eating it looks so much bigger! But i love looking at it knowing that our little nugget is in there!!!!!

We got to schedule our anatomy scan for August 15th, I will be 18w5days( you are supposed to do it at 20 weeks or more but with school starting and Brians work schedule its gonna be so hard to find time to get it done)so we get to do it a little early, hopefully everything turns out fine! The anatomy scan is where they make sure, the brain, liver, kidneys, heart are all good and developed and they don't see any problems! But the most exciting part of the scan is if little one cooperates we will know if its a BOY OR GIRL!!!!! Only 19 more days!!

Family has been rough lately, I swear its like feuding wars on both sides! Isn't having a baby supposed to make family come together? Apparently not, with my fight with my mother about my father not smoking when the baby comes and my sister telling me how its gonna be to raise a child even though she has none, and brians sister just continuously being rude and unsupportive its a huge mess! I think were better off just having our own little family and not worrying about anyone else! Our families just need to realize that we are sooo happy and just let us enjoy that, but apparently people can not do that!

Anywhoo, theres been ups and theres been downs, but we'll get through it!

Until next time........

How far along? 16 Weeks!!!!

Total weight gain/loss: 2

Maternity clothes? nope just bigger shorts

Sleep: Ugh, back to having horrible sleep, i can not get comfortable and my arms fall asleep!

Best moment this week: hearing the nuggets heartbeat again 148!

Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy but VERY EMOTIONAL Still crying at everything!

Looking forward to:  August 15th! We shall see if baby is a BOY or a GIRL!

15 Weeks

Holy Pregnant! I am definitly feeling pregnant lately. Baby grows and inch every week now so my belly is getting hard and expanding. Baby is now measuring 4 inches, about the size of an apple :) I have had ups and downs, somedays i feel great and cleaning and cooking and running around, other days i feel like i just drank a 12pk the night before. Went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago was having achy pains in my pelvic area they tested me for an infection which came back negative, checked for a heartbeat which was strong @ 158 bpm, checked my cervix it was closed... then he told me im experiencing Round ligament pain, which means that the ligament and tendons that hold the uterus is stretching which conflicts pain down there, Well yesterday it was Horrible i felt like i couldn't even walk at times! Its also sometimes scary cuz you feel like something is wrong, but no its just my uterus stretching getting ready for our growing baby :)

So we made our first big purchase which was our car seat and stroller, I really wanted a 3 wheeled stroller so i can rollerblade or jog after the baby is born, Its supposed to be alot more flexible that way! No it is not a gender specific color, it is actually BLK & White, we both love it and for most things we are going gender nuetral so when we decide to have another we can use it again :) We decided to buy one big item a month so we dont' have to buy everything all at once, next on our list is probaly the monitors which are really neat now a days love how they have the screen so you can see the baby and put the camera on the crib! ahh technology these days makes me soo happy.... :)

I had some inspiration this week and sketched out how i want the nursery! Never knew i was such a good designer, Brian loves it and thinks its a great idea... Soo mommy is very happy.

My 16 week appt is on Wednesday, the usual pee, check for heartbeat, BP, ask how im doing. This time though im getting sent for bloodwork (like i haven't gave them enough already) But around this time they check for cystic fibrosis - which last time was negative, dosen't run in either or our families, and then they check for the down syndrome gene, I don't think we should have a problem with that either. BUT THE BEST PART OF the appt is that I get to schedule our 20 week ultrasound!!!! Which actually will probaly take place right at 19 weeks because i start school back full time week 20. WHICH MEANS....... we will soon know if baby weiner is a BOY or a GIRL :) we also get to make sure all the anatomy has formed, the liver, kidneys, fingers, toes, the 4 chambers of the heart, the measurments, the brain! So that will be a very exciting visit! So about 4 more weeks :)

I will post some belly pics next week, i want to get just a little bigger so its more noticeable :) Until then.....

How far along? 15 Weeks!!!!

13 Weeks!! 2nd Trimester!

Sooo we made it to 13 weeks! We had our first OB appt with our New Doctor last Wednesday and yes we got another ultrasound :) We are sooo Lucky! We are soo Thankful too because that is how we wanted to show Bree (brians daughter) that she was going to be a big sister!

11weeks 5 day Ultrasound....

So doc said everything looked good, we heard the heartbeat on the doppler and also saw it on the ultrasound.. Its so amazing that the baby looks like a little baby now, with a head and feet and arms. Our little nugget kept moving around putting his hands up to his mouth, wigglying everywhere, it was sooo neat to see. Brian was especially excited because he didn't get to see these kind of ultrasounds with Bree, so it was nice to see him soo touched by it :)

We actually had Bree that night which worked out perfectly, so we showed her the ultrasound picture to see if she could guess what that was, she couldn't really tell what it was, so we told her it was a baby and she was going to be a big sister. She was a little confused on how she was going to be a big sister if the baby was in my belly, so we simply explained to her that it was part me and part daddy and since she was part daddy this was going to be her half brother or sister! She then understand and was super excited. She kept touching my belly and telling me that the baby looked like a jelly bean :) hehe.

Were so happy shes soo excited about it. Everytime she comes over she touches my belly and asks me if the baby is getting bigger, and I show her on a ruler how big the baby actually is, she is very intrigued by the whole situation! She tells us she wants a sister!

I'm doing well, the morning sickness has surpassed! YAY!!!! I can finally attempt to eat some protein again without wanting to throw up! Im a little fatigued though, I still get extremely tired and worn out and have to go to bed early, and take naps.

We started looking at baby stuff, car seat, stroller, playpen, mostly the major stuff, there is just so much its overwhelming! But we definitley have ideas of what we want and colors and such!

Well that pretty much sums up week 11 and 12! Until next time.....

Ahh 11 Weeks we are ALMOST in the safe zone! Doctor Appt on Wednesday, as soon as mommy hears that heartbeat through the doppler again it will be a VERY EXCITING DAY! Time to spill the Beans!!! Although im soo Nervous and Excited all at the same time!

This week was rough, I had horrible body aches, like when you get the flu, all over my arms my back, my legs i could barely stand up I was soo sick, and on top of that I had a headache the size of TEXAS that would just not go away I was miserable. So needless to say with that I was freaking out, thinking something was wrong ( which I hope not) Prayers please!

Nausea subsides for a couple days, and then it reoccurs, my symptoms are slowly letting up but not fully, They say around week 13 and 14 they are normally gone and you start to feel great! Good Lord I hope so! This has been rough on Me!

Mommy is starting to show, slightly, Still just look fat and not pregnant! My pants are starting to squeeze on my uterus so its a little uncomfortable! Other than that im good to go!

10 Weeks 1 Day

Our little nugget at 9 weeks 3 days (6/11/12)

He/She looks like an upside down cockroach! LOL

Baby grew to 1 inch and has a 165/bpm heart rate :)

Well this week has been a whirlwind. I made it to 10 Weeks though :) Woke up Monday morning with some tingling and numbness in my right leg and right foot, which eventually led to tingling and numbness in my right forearm and hand, which almost felt like I was losing circulation. I called my OB's office and they told me since I'm tingling i need to go to the ER, "oh what fun" So after 3 hours in the ER, blood work, some standard nuero testing, I was dehydrated and need to be seen by a Nuero Doc, so my OB admitted me for the night! Not Fun! I had another ultrasound though which was exciting, babies heart rate was 165/bpm very strong! Baby has also grown HE/SHE was about an inch! The heartbeat was soo fast and loud i started crying, there is no feeling in the world better than hearing that heartbeat ;) I was then hooked up to an IV, I was dehydrated (Thanks to M/S), With all that said, Baby and I are fine and doing great! I guess it was nothing to concerning so that makes me feel better!
Our 12 week doctor appt is Just over a week away! Unfortunetly were sad because we dont' get the 12 week ultrasound now and have to wait for our 20 week genetic/gender scan 10 more weeks and we will now if our little nugget is a boy or a girl!
Mommy is definitly starting to feel better,  I'm able to eat more, drink more, and not be running to puke every other second. I'm able to get out of bed and move around and actually do stuff again for the most part. I do still get nautious and I get extremely fatigued, I need my 2 hour power naps otherwise I will not make it through the day, but I am about 75% better than week 7 & 8, those were by far my worst weeks!
Well thats pretty much all the interesting stuff that happened with me and baby this week! Until next week....

9 Weeks!!!

Ahhhh 9 weeks, Feels spectacular! Why you say because that means I only have 3 more weeks left of this horrid morning sickness! ( fingers crossed) Baby and I are doing good, except for the fact that im running to the porcelain goddess every morning and every afternoon and every evening, but luckily I have been able to keep liquids down for the most part and my vitamins which is good news! I have become of professional sniffer, the smell of basically ANYTHING makes me want to vomit, especially the smell of SMOKE, ugh, I can not believe I was ever a smoker!

I went out browsing today, because today has actually been a good day, I haven't thrown up yet, needed to get out of the house and get some fresh air! I bought my first baby item today, its one of those bath towels for infants and it was a polar bear, it was just too cute I couldn't pass it up, its all white so it can go for a girl or boy! Although i wanted to buy every girl and boy outfit in the store ahhh 10 more weeks till we find out what it is! SOOO long from now!

2 weeks and 5 more days until I get another ultrasound and get to meet my new doctor! Im dying to see my little nugget again! The anticipation is killing me! We are also planning on announcing it too so that should be fun! We can't wait to tell Brianna she is going to have a little brother or sister soon :)

This week has been pretty boring, mostly just sick and tired,  getting very restless at night, not getting very good sleep, so my daily naps help out, except for the constant urge to pee! Hopefully things get more exciting in the next few weeks! Until then.....

7 Weeks 4 Days

Our Little Nugget grew! We made it past our mark from last time! We could not be more thrilled. Got to hear and see the heartbeat again, Soooo cool and soo thankful that this little guy/girl has a strong heartbeat and is growing, and all mommys test came back great, we are one healthy happy family right now! I was so lucky to get another ultrasound but now I am sad I won't be seeing another one until 12 weeks which is a month away, but atleast it will actually look like a baby next time!

This past week has been horrible, the morning sickness / ALL DAY sickness is in full effect! There are some days where even water makes me vomit! Eating and Drinking has now become a chore! Since nausea has been a constant 24 hour companion to me DOC prescribed me some anti-nausea meds, I have yet to take them but hopefully they will give me some relief, because some days i can't even stand up I am so sick, and other days I'm ok just plain sick but not puking! Brian has been such a great support, taking over all the household duties, not complaining i haven't cooked a meal in 2 weeks, cleaning and doing laundry! Im so glad he understands and is such a big help! 4 more weeks and hopefully this will all subside and I can go back to eating and drinking normally again!

Doc told us today that she is closing her practice and moving out of state, which really stinks, we really like her! So the hunt for another OBGYN is in full effect! Hopefully I'll be able to find a good one quick!

But thats all the fun that happened this week! busy week of being sick!

6 Weeks 6 Days

Yup its true! Brian and I are expecting our first child together January 11, 2013. We could not be more thrilled! We are both so excited! Today baby is 6 weeks & 6 Days along. We have a long way to go, and we haven't announced it yet, except for my parents and my sister and my two besties, Hey a girl needs someone to talk to about the miracle in her belly :) We are not going to spread the love until about 12 weeks. We had an unfortunate misscarriage last month, I was supposed to be 9 weeks along, but the babies heart stopped beating around 6 weeks. I had a very natural, painful misscarriage, I would not wish this pain on anyone or the emotional rollercoaster a woman has to go through during a time like this. It is simply devastating. Its amazing how much you learn to love something from the first positive result! Luckily my body bounced back to healthy right away and everything went perfect. Obviously because I ovulated 2 weeks later and were pregnant again! My mom calls me fertile myrtle! We had our first OB appt on Tuesday, The baby measured 6 weeks 4 days ;) We saw the heartbeat and even got to hear the heartbeat, which was amazing because most of the time you can't hear it that early! Our little bun must have a strong heart, just like mommy and daddy!

Our little grain of rice, the little white dot at the top left of the wall is our little boy/girl! So crazy we heard the heartbeat from something soo smally!

Due to our misscarriage we have another ultrasound on Tuesday May 29, 2012 just to make sure babys heart is still beating and still growing as it should. Extra cautious due to the misscarriage and me getting pregnant again so fast. So im nervous and excited all at the same time. Its in Gods Hands! But the way mommy is feeling with all the nausea, I think this one is sticking :)

I'll be updating everyweek and / or at milestones so stay tuned for the wonderful pregnancy of Our new little addition coming soon.
