It's been a while...but It's a Girl!!

11 weeks

20 weeks bump

4D Ultrasound

It's a girl!

Got her leg over her head, stretching to get warmed up for karate. Her daddy is so excited!!

For some reason, I stopped writing anything on this blog, not sure why...I guess just laziness. Anyway, here is what all has gone on since November 20.

We had had our 11 week appt in December. Everything was good. My nausea finally went away around 13 weeks and since then I've been eatin' good. =) Gravy biscuits have been my staple for breakfast for the last 14 weeks. My friends at Hardees love me. I really haven't had any cravings. Reese cups and chocolate milk are a normal day craving so I don't count that as a "pregnancy craving".

Our next appt was suppose to be the 2o week appt on March 2nd where we were going to find out the sex and have a full body ultrasound. We got a little impatient and on Valentine's Day, I surprised Scott with a ultrasound at Baby Impressions in Greenville to find out that we are having a girl. We weren't going to tell anyone until we had our March 2nd ultra sound but then my mom found out about a consignment sale so I told my parents that night so mom & I could shop. And boy did we, haha.

We had our 20 week ultrasound today. Everything looked good. The ultrasound lasted an hour and they looked at everything. They looked at all the chambers of the heart and the blood flow, measured all the bones including the legs and arms, looked at the skull & brain....everything!

But she's still a girl so that was good news, especially for all the stuff we've bought. =)

We have decided to paint the baby's room brown. I still haven't decided on bedding or what I want to do in the room yet. Scott wanted to paint the room pink but I'm sure we're going to be seeing plenty of pink so I finally got him to ok brown. We also bought our furniture. It's ready for us to pick up, we're just waiting on the room to be painted (which should be this week).

I go to my ob on Thursday so I guess I'll find out then what all comes next. I was suppose to go today but because of the snow they were closing early so they asked me to reschedule. (Have I mentioned that I'm tired of this weather???) Until next time....

First Dr's appt

November 20, 2009---We had our first Dr's appointment today. We got there at 9:08 (appt at 9:10) and didn't go back until 10:00. I first met this bubbly lady who said we were checking to see how many babies we were having. I told her we hoped there was just one. =) Then I had to pee in a cup. They put us in another waiting room for the ultra sound. We got to see and hear the heart beat. It was so neat. It was amazing that something so small could have a heart beat which was even smaller. The heart beat was at 112 which she said was normal but slow (she then said that people say that means boy). She printed out some pics for us. We met with one of the doctors who went over everything from the ultra sound and discussed the next visit. My due date is July 14. They said they could get a better due date on the next appt which is Dec 22. I asked them to get as close to Christmas as they could since we are planning on telling our parents then. So we just want to make sure everything is ok before.

It's a little more real now, I guess.

Bet you never thought you'd hear this...

I found out Sunday that I am pregnant. I go to the doctor on Friday to find out "for sure" and how far along I am. We were suprised but not shocked. I have been off my birth control pills since July and have had my period every month since (last month was very light and nothing like it usually is, but it at least showed up so I thought nothing of it) but when the nausea hit me like a ton of bricks on Sunday, I took a test just to see and sure nuff...it was positive. Since then, I have barely been able to eat. I haven't thrown up but just been extremely nauseated and tired. I'm not sleeping good (sick and my mind going in circles) which doesn't help with being tired. So, I'm already losing sleep....go figure! The one thing I didn't want to do (lose sleep) is already happening...and I still have a LONG way to go.

We are excited though. I don't think it's sunk in yet...not quite sure when it will. We are waiting to tell our parents. We have told work just because of doctors appointments and because I've been sick. The internet thinks I'm around 7 to 8 weeks so 12 weeks will be around Christmas so we're going to try to save the news until then...we'll see. I'm horrible at keeping secrets. =)
