More Baby photos

Me and Baby went to get another Ultrasound done this morning.
The doctor STILL wasn't comfortable with my due date because we were going back and forth with when my cycle was and she was missing info in her computer from when we had the very first ultrasound done at 9 weeks. So we waited 4 weeks (which was today) and took more measurements to see the rate Baby was growing.
Turns out he is right on track! The due date still stands as July 23. He is weighing in at 1lb 8oz. Definitely growing! (and so am I)

It was cool to see how much of a change he made in just 4 weeks. Everything was more clear. And she confirmed again that it is infact a little boy ;)

Spring is here!!

Happy Spring!!
Gary and I just got back from a wonderful vacation in Orlando.
We did so many things...
Seaworld, The City Walk at Universal Studios and Downtown Disney. The only place we missed was Epcot.
It was Gary's 27th Birthday while we were gone and it was a cloudy day so the birthday boy got to pick what we were going to go do for the day. I recomended shopping but he picked Gatorworld! It was tons of Fun. 100+ acres of gators gators and more gators, It was also the largest bird sanctuary in FL (which I didn't enjoy so much sense I got pooped on by one the dumb things) but it made Gary's day ;)

Probably the most exciting thing that happened last week was at 12:20am 3/18/10 The morning of Gary's birthday he got to feel his little boy kick. It was the most special moment! He was saying Happy Birthday daddy, can't wait to meet you!
It wasn't just one little kick either it went on for a good 60 seconds. Maybe he was hicuping?

God is so good!

I also think my nesting might be setting in. I am starting to go through my basement and organize stuff. Getting real excited to start on a Baby's room but its just a little to early it would be empty and that would be no fun so I will continue to wait.....

Growing Belly

I really didn't plan on posting pics yet but the whole belly growing process is pretty incredible! So here it is so far.

10 weeks

14 weeks

18 weeks

Maybe I will start including my whole body from now on, a missing head looks kind of funny haha oops.

IT'S A BOY!!

Monday Gary and I went to our big Ultrasound.

Many of you know that they make to drink a ton of water before this Ultrasound well i did just that. I had more than the 24oz they recommend you to have. We got there at about 8:50 got checked in. Sat there for about 20 min thinking what in the world is going on? They make me drink this much water and are going to make me just sit here?? So I got up some courage and went and talked to the lady at the desk. She said my appt wasn't until 9:30. DANGIT!!!! I had to pee so bad i didn't think I was going to be able to hold it. I was pacing the waiting room while Gary was sitting just laughing at me.

Very shortly after 9:30 we got called back. (I was very excited) Hoping that laying down would take the pressure off my bladder a little. NOPE she had to get the pics she needed with my full bladder then she let me use the restroom. Got back and the baby had lots more room and decided to flip around so we got more pics with his head facing the other direction. He's like ahhh I have so much more room. We caught him stretching out a little too, his back arched and his legs went almost straight. So fricken cute!!

Sorry couldn't get this one to upload correctly. But it is by far my Favorite.

I thought hearing the heartbeat was amazing, but this was breath taking.

The way you could see every little detail on our little guy. He was moving around the whole time :)

We thought about having the Ultrasound tech write down the gender on a piece of paper and we would open it later but I'm glad we didn't it was such a special moment in that room when we saw that is was a boy! Tears of joy from the both of us. The 1st shot she took trying to see the gender he was sitting with his legs tight together so we waited a little bit and tried again. Next time the little guy was sitting Indian style no doubt about it, there it was our little Man.We got an estimated length of a little more than 5 inch. His Heart rate was 140bpm.

Everything looked wonderful. She told us if there was a problem the Doctor would call and no news is good news :)

We are going to keep the name a secret in case some of you were wondering. You will have to wait till our little guy is born. :)

Cute little story about Sunday night....

I was so excited about the Ultrasound and finding out what we were having I could not stop thinking about baby names. So I started saying some to Gary trying to get him to pick a girl name or at least get our top 2 down. He said I will pick a boy name but we will talk about girl names tomorrow night after the Ultrasound. So i thought that is fair lets get this boy name figured out. So we had 5 then 2 then we both agreed on 1. It was actually easier than I thought it was going to be. And we never had to think about the girl names Gary just knew his little boy was in there.

We continue to Pray that the good Lord keeps me, baby and daddy healthy as the next 21 weeks approach.

Let the shopping for Baby Boy things BEGIN!!!

Update on the little one

Went to the Doctor today, Baby is doing WONDERFUL. Dr. Krouse was listening for the heartbeat, she said sometimes they still like to hide early on. She found the little heartbeat, come to find out Baby was being pretty active moving around so much she kept loosing it the little stinker :)

Heartbeat's a healthy 155bpm.

I believe I felt a little movement already. Call me crazy maybe it was a gas bubble?? (I want to think I felt a movement!) Doc said it is possible! That is the one thing I am SO excited to start feeling!

I measured 18cm right where I should be Dr said.

Last Sat I took my mom to Babies R Us and had SO much fun. Found a car seat/stroller travel set that I had to have!

And registered for what I could not knowing what we are having.

I have a pretty good idea on what we will paint and decorate the rooms for boy or girl all we have to do is find out.

Stay tuned for the next Blog entry. It will be the revealing of the gender of Baby Newcomer!!! Our appt is on the 22nd! We will be waiting patiently for my Parents to come home from Mexico before we tell everyone so look for the Post around the 24th.

January 11, 2010

Can't believe it is 2010 already!

We spent New Years Eve in Las Vegas this year. Tons of fun! We ended up surprising our friends from IN they had no idea we were going to be there :) I Had to skip out on going out to the clubs but my wonderful husband was understanding and stayed back with me :) The last night we were there we had a date night, we went up in to the stratosphere hotel, the elevator you take up feels like you are in a space ship being shot up into space, it starts counting the levels then it stops im guessing because we are going to fast for it to count them, till we are at 115th floor very cool!

We got to see Vegas from the "top of world". Then we had supper at this awesome 50's diner. We were going to eat at the resturant at the top of the stratosphere but they did not have any reservations open (thank goodness because we then looked at the menu 80 a person, Im sure we would not have got out of that resturant with lower than a $200.00 bill.) thats is more than it cost us to spend a night in vegas.

As for today Gary and I went to my 2nd doctors appointment. :)

We got to hear our little ones heart beat a health 167 bpm. Both of our eyes teared up a little it really is the most heart warming feeling when you hear it. Still so small yet so alive inside me.

Other exciting news I was worried i was gaining wait but not baby weight come to find out i have not gained a lb very good feeling. It might be because i am finding myself hugging the toilet more often which i am SO ready to be done with!! 2 more weeks and i should be in the clear feeling wonderful all my energy back and maybe even sleeping a little better.

I also set up my big ultrasound up today 7 weeks from now we should be able to figure out what we are having :)

Just some fun facts about our little one.

I am just entering my 12th week, baby should be measuring 2.5 inches weighing .5 oz.

The size of a large plum.

I have 28 weeks to go!!
