14+ Weeks

I had my monthly visit and all is well. I go back on April 9 for my big ultrasound which means two things:
1) we will find out the gender...Yeah!!
2) I will be half way done with this pregnancy...Yeah!!!

That's the Name of the Game

Apparently there is a hitch in the polling system (and I don't even live in Florida). Once someone votes, I can't add anymore names. So we will start by brainstorming names and adding them to the list. Once we have a nice list we will open the polls again. So send me ALL your suggestions...I seriously need them.

10 Weeks and Counting...

10 week check up today and it's official, it's a peanut!!! Okay, maybe not, but that's all I can make out... Apparently there are arm and leg buds and a very pronounced spine... Baby is growing normally and heart rate was in the 130s.  We could see the baby moving in the ultrasound.  Very cool.  Next appointment is in one month.  Alright Jessie, bring on the name suggestions...

Eight is enough...

First Picture

We went to the doctor last week and he confirmed the earlier home test... I'm pregnant.  We were able to hear the baby's heartbeat, which is very reassuring and my initial SHOCK is slowly turning to excitement.  I am due September 4th, but because I will be a repeat C-Section, they will schedule it one week before my due date. I feel pregnant already with major food aversion, tiredness, water retention in specific place (like they weren't big enough before), and the always pleasant mood swings.  Next appointment is set for February 5th.  I will keep you posted. 

New Toy...

My actual birthday present, a Flip mino!!! Okay so it is not my actual present, that was returned and I bought this instead!!!  Disclaimer: Shane did buy me something off of my Amazon wish list, so he thought he could not go wrong... Don't know what I was thinking when I added that to the list...

Testing Testing...I may need technical support...
