22 Weeks

I am starting to feel really big!! Also, I am starting to wake up in the middle of the night with really bad heartburn...bring on the Tums!

We had an appointment with the OB yesterday, the results for spina bifida and down syndrome both came back negative YAY! She has now given me the requisition form for gestational diabetes so I will have to book an appointment for that soon! 150bpm today...I LOVE THAT SOUND!

20 Weeks - Half Way There!

Yay!!! We are half way there today! It seems like this has taken forever...only 20 more weeks to go ahhhh! I feel like we need to start getting the baby room together because I don't want to feel rushed at the end, but in the same time I don't want to do it now because I feel like then when it's done and I won't have anything to do...if that makes any sense. I'm feeling fairly good these days, I am still on the Dicelctin though, I am scared to stop taking it because I don't want to feel like crap!

Tiny Baby Feet

This is just a short and quick update!

I think I felt our baby GIRL kick today. It almost feels like gas, but I have been told that is what it feels like! So exciting! Now I am going to be sitting around waiting for gas!


On another note, we found a dresser! Like I though, of course we weren't going to find as good of a deal on the dresser as we did on the crib and change table. We paid $500 for the dresser, but we *hope* it will last a long time!

18 Weeks - They "Think" It's A Girl

We had our first ultrasound today, what an amazing experience! The Tech "thinks" it's a girl! Yay, so exciting! I can't believe that some people don't want to find out what sex their baby is! We had a hard time waiting this long, I could never wait until the birth. It makes it so much easier to come up with names, decorate the room and buy things. I also feel more of a connection to "her", now that I've seen her and know it's a girl.



We have now moved from my family Doctor onto the OB. All of my blood tests that were done with my Doctor have come back fine, and we will soon be going for more testing - for down syndrome and spina bifida.

18 Weeks

Wow, I am soooo tired! Everyone keeps telling me "Just wait until the baby is here", honestly I don't think I could feel more tired than this. Also, my back is killing me. I have been going for a massage every three weeks and that helps a bunch.
