It's a Boy!

I haven't updated but most of my followers already know. We are expecting a little boy. Jackson Asher will be here in November. He's growing like he should and he is a very active little boy. I can't wait to meet him.

We have a lot of the big stuff for him already. Just need to order bedding then it will just be little things. We have decided to breast feed. I'm hoping he takes to it like a pro.

If all goes well, My mom will be here November 1st to help us wait for him. She will be here through Thanksgiving. Then Josh's Mom and his brother should be coming out for Christmas.

On the 27th of this month, there will only be 100 days left in my pregnancy. Since I hit 20 weeks, It all feels like it is going way to fast. As excited and anxious as I am to meet him. I am worried and scared at the same time.

Getting Anxious...

My anatomy ultrasound is in exactly a week from today. It's been so long since the last time I've seen the baby. I want to see bean and make sure s/he is growing on track. I really hope baby cooperates and shows us the goodies so we can figure out if we are having Baby Girl "K" or Baby Boy "J". The suspense is killing me.

Oh another note, I think I have started to feel the baby move. It's just once in a while. I wish I had an ultrasound machine to watch while I felt the movement to see if it really is baby :D

15 week OB appointment

Went pretty well, Baby likes to mess with me and will not let them get a read on the heat rate with the doppler so I was able to get another ultrasound today. Baby G's heart rate was 138bpm And looks great. Still right on for growth and I swear is going to be a dancer or something. Everytime I see little bean, it's always moving. Because of it's position, We couldn't get a good shot for the Dr to try to guess what Baby is so, I have my anatomy ultrasound scheduled for June 17th to figure out. Aahh A whole month to wait still.

Also, I had to take my 1 hour glucose test, The drink wasn't as bad as I thought it would be at first, but towards the end, I felt like I was going to throw up. Josh kept telling me he was going to tape my mouth shut because I only had 15 more minutes to keep it down. He's so loving huh?

Next week is our Budget for Baby class and I am very excited about that one. Then maybe I will start looking in to breastfeeding classes since I am 99% sure I've made up my mind on that subject. Up next, To cloth diaper or not? That is the question DH and I will tackle next.

12 weeks!

So, I've set mini milestones for myself to get excited about. The first being to see/hear the heartbeat, the second was to get through the first trimester.

Today, I am 12 weeks! I've had a relatively easy pregnancy so far. I've had no real major problems, and baby is growing right on track. I hope the rest of my pregnancy goes just as smoothly but then, it wouldn't be like Josh or I to make things easy. :D I am just excited to get to baby shopping! Josh and I decided to wait until 12 weeks to start ordering things. I know things could take a turn at any moment but I feel safer now that the first trimester is behind us. (well, after this 12th week)

We have lots of day trips and weekend trips planned. I've decided that so long as I was comfortable and had the Dr's ok, We are still going to travel like we wanted to this year. I figured we might as well since baby is already packed with everything it needs :D Much easier to travel with now then when it gets here and we have to pack an extra bag or two plus the stroller and carseat.

That's all for now, My next appointment isn't until 15 weeks. I'm going to attempt to con the dr into letting me see baby again, if not, I'd have to wait until I hit 20 weeks. Here's hoping right?

Tata for now

Baby Update

Here is Baby G @ 10 weeks I am in love.

Everything is looking great with Baby G. Growth is right on track and it has a nice strong heart beat. It was in the 170's yesterday. I'm having a pretty easy 1st trimester. Only gotten sick enough to throw up twice. I've been really nauseous but it normally doesn't last more then a day or so at a time. I'm now 10 weeks pregnant! And there is for sure only one baby in there. There was no where for the other baby to hide :D

Nothing much else to update on really, Josh's Mom & Mr Dan just left and while we had a blast with them, They left us with head colds. lol. So we are both fighting them.

Baby Bean's First picture

Josh and I went to our first ultrasound today. It wasn't my real OB appointment, she just wanted to check to make sure everything was growing right and how many there were because of the Clomid.

There is only 1 baby. It's measuring at 6 weeks and 2 days. Much to my suprise, we also got to hear the heart beat. The Dr said it was a nice strong heart beat and baby looks good.

It was so surreal to see that little flicker on the screen and when I heard it, I started to cry. It was the most amazing thing I have ever heard. I can't believe how in love with this little baby I am already and I still have at least 34 more weeks until I get to meet her/him.

I'm going in on April 9th for my regular OB appointment and the DR said she will do another ultrasound for me.

Amazing Update!

Yup, That's right. We are finally pregnant! We decided we were going to give up, I didn't go to the doctors, we were just having fun. I found out on March 1st. The day before I was due to start my period. I went to the hospital that day to have it confirmed and then back the next day to get all of my blood work done.

According to my LMP, My due date is November 5th. However, since I have been charting on FertilityFriend.com, they give you an estimated due date based on when you actually ovulated. That date is November 10th. So it's not that big of a difference. My first ultrasound is on March 16th so I will be back to update then. My friends are telling me I have more then one in there since I found out so early and the lines are so dark. I guess we will have to wait and find out.
