31 weeks

Today we went to Dr. Carter's office and had an ultrasound done to measure our little man, he is 4 ponds and 2 ounces! Dr. Carter said according to our most accurate ultrasound our due date is actually going to be September 19th YAY. Other than that there wasn't much else that needed to be discussed, we are doing great and will go back in 2 weeks! Tonight is Lamaze...Michael is so looking forward to it! Not really ha-ha it should be interesting though.

Other than this there isn't much else going on so here is the ultrasound picture we got.

All is well

I am updating to let those of you who read my blog know that the results of my second glucose test came back normal. It took Michael calling up there and being mean for them to call, this is how I got a response from them last time even though they asked me to call them! Anyway he had to call and tell them hat they needed to call me back as soon as possible and VOILA! I got a phone call from Brooke, a nurse there who sounded like I had ruined her afternoon because I wanted to know whether or not I had diabetes! I will be talking to Dr. Carter about this issue. Any who I think it was the little bit of Dr. Pepper that I had before my appointment the last time that caused me to fail the first test and I blame the stupid receptionist for that. I called two days before my first test and she said I didn't need to fast! She did say not to eat or drink anything to sweet but I didn't think that a little bit of watered down Dr. Pepper would cause me to have to take off of work last Friday and starve while sitting on uncomfortable chairs waiting to get stabbed in the arm for four hours. In the end I came out with the shakes, four holes in my arms which made me look like a druggie ha-ha, thinking about only one thing...lunch. I voted on Cheddars because Michael doesn't like to eat there and I got chicken strips, mashed potatoes, broccoli and my lovely, oh so unhealthy addiction Dr. Pepper...I had two. I am now trying to ween myself from Dr. Pepper because I know it really isn't good for me to be drinking it, I have done it before and I can do it again!

That is all of the news I have for now, I will hopefully have pictures of my shower last weekend to post soon and I will write all about it then.

24 weeks

Hello all! Not much to report this time, I had my glucose test done today and I assume they will call if there are any problems. Parker is a little mover and shaker these days and his favorite time to move and shake is at about 2 in the morning! Gotta love it! We are going back on June 30th for another check up and I will be getting a shot for RH factor, I am so not looking forward to it! I am not a fan of shots but I will just have to suck it up. 2 weeks after that we should be doing what will probably be our last ultrasound (we may do a 3-D one) to measure him and see just about how far along we really are. I am also hoping that she will be able to determine whether or not I will be able to have him naturally. Until then, here are a couple of belly pictures

This past weekend we were at Gary and Delana's house and I got a couple of cute pictures of Sean in the tub and on the potty (he is FINALLY going to the potty), he was SO funny. We also went swimming last Sunday but unfortunately my phone was dead and I didn't have a camera! Next time I will get tons of pictures of him swimming and jumping :)

Appointment 4

I am SO late with this! Sorry about that!! Anyway we had our 4th appointment last Tuesday and it was SO exciting! this was the appointment where we were to find out if our little bean was a boy or a girl. We got there at 2:00, the ultrasound was scheduled for 2:15 and we didn't get in there until 2:45...I was SUPER annoyed because I had rushed to get there and then I had to wait for what felt like forever! I am so impatient...I will learn :) When we were called into the ultrasound room I was so nervous! I was ready to finally know what we were having and had convinced myself it was a girl, well our tech (if that is what she is called) was measuring and taking pictures...all the while I am thinking HURRY UP WOMEN!!!!!! She finally, and very casually, said "IT'S LOOKING A LOT LIKE A BOY" I was thinking in this moment....aww shucks well, I guess there will be no dress up! Oh well I Love him already! So after a few seconds she said she wanted to do another ultrasound in 4 weeks to confirm because it could be a girl with swollen parts...I will post he picture, I think there is NO WAY this is a girl with swollen parts. So that was the exciting part of the appointment. Dr. Carter got called into surgery and we waited for 2 hours to see her so while waiting I got more blood work done Yippie!...not...and she said everything looked great. The only comment she had was that he was 8oz and I was 17 weeks and 5 days so she thinks I may be a week or 2 further along than we thought. We will be measuring and everything at my 30 week appointment to make sure and we may or may not have him early. Michael is of course thrilled about this because that is a possible week or two extra he has before deer season....get a grip buddy not with a newborn! Of course I won't completely limit him ha-ha but he will have to compromise.

IN OTHER NEWS!

I am now 18 weeks and 4 days and my little Parker is just a squirmy worm! most days it is like he is having a little party in there ha-ha and sometimes he only moves a lot when I am about to or in the process of eating and when I am sitting down relaxing. I got home from work the other day and layed down with Michael and he put his hand on my tummy and kind of pushed with his fingers where I told him I always feel movement and it was so funny because Parker pushed him back! I don't know if it was a foot or a hand but it was like he was saying "hey get out of my space here there isn't much room as it is!" ha-ha I was like...Did you feel that! and Michael said yeah...he was not as excited about this as I was, or at least he wasn't on the outside.

here are the latest ultrasound pictures and one of me

Baby Parker 8oz at 17 weeks 5 days

Maybe it is just me but that does not look like swollen girl parts...I see a turtle

Appointment 3

Today was our third appointment I am 14 weeks and 5 days along. We went into the exmination room and heard Bean's heart beat (147) and were told everything is looking good! I have been feeling little flutters for a couple of weeks now and am excited that I will be feeling it alot more often pretty soon :) Our next appointment is on April 21st and this is the big day when we find out what our little bean is! I will be 18 weeks by then and we are SOOO excited! Michael an I have a bet going on, if Bean is a GIRL (I have a feeling it is...) Michael has to do the dishes for a weeks and if Bean is a boy (which would be great also) I have to rub his feet for a week...eww ha-ha. Anyway here is my first pregnant picture at 14 weeks and 5 days i feel SO bloated. Oh and I am happy ha-ha I just was trying to take a good picture, next time I will smile.

Appointment 2

Today was our second appointment, I am now 10 weeks and 5 days along and they did an ultrasound so we could see the baby again and hear it little heartbeat! Well after she put the really cold goo on me and found our little bean I was so excited because he/she is getting big! Bean looks like a baby! it was so amazing because as soon as she found him/her it moved it's little arms I was like...did it just move?! and the lady was like yes it did...(no big deal to her obviously) Anyway Bean have a good strong heartbeat and is growing perfectly! I found out today that I have A- blood and so at 28 weeks I believe she said I will be getting a shot for the RH factor and again after the baby is born. I hate shots but I know it is necessary. I will be back in for blood work at 16 weeks, well probably at my April appointment because I will be 15 weeks a couple of days after that appointment...so if we're lucky they might tell us the sex of the baby then but if not it looks like we'll have to wait until May. Uncle Awesome (my brother) is getting impatient and wants to know the sex ASAP and we'll be seeing him after my 15 week appointment so it would be really great to tell him then but we'll see!

First Dr. Appopintment

Michael and I went to our first Dr. appointment on February third! After answering about a million questions for our nurse Dr. Carter came in and told us our due date and asked a few more questions and then sent us to the ultrasound room! We were so excited to be able to see our little field pea for the first time. After the ultrasound tech got me all ready to go she started the ultrasound and there it was! It was so amazing, we couldn't hear the heartbeat but we got to see it, it looked like the baby was dancing ha-ha, Michael said that at the moment when he saw it is when it really hit him...there IS something in there! After the ultrasound we went back into the exam room and I told Dr. Carter about the bleeding and she said that there was nothing to worry about because the ultrasound looked excellent and it was probably just implantation bleeding. We asked a few more questions and then it was off for blood work and then we were done! The next appointment will be March fourth and I'm not sure when the next ultrasound will be. Here is a very small picture of our little one (behind that line ha-ha)
