Just an update

I had a doctors apt last week. It went great. Overall I am down 1 lb :-) I will take that with a smile on face! Blood pressure was good and her heart rate was 160.

We ordered her Stroller last week as well. Its a Quinny Buzz (in black). I like it, lots of different positions plus it looks cool. That should be here sometime this week. :-)

This morning I woke up with a huge lump to one side of my stomach. It was definitely the baby. :-) Kinda neat since I haven't felt movement yet. (I am 15 weeks now)

We have our "Big" Ultrasound on Aug 4th @ 10:15, it will be very interesting to see if the gender test was correct! (It better be, cuz she has a pretty cool name! LOL)

A friend of a friend is opening a new 3d/4d ultrasound place downtown so I am sure I will have the urge to go there before 8/4!! LOL I don't know for sure when she is opening but she said soon!

Lets see, what else is new??....Jason jumped out of an airplane a few days ago, thankfully he landed safe and sound! We are still looking at houses....We are both kinda sold on this one particular house but I have moved so much lately, its expensive, I'm pregnant, and I hate moving...Ahhhh decisions, BUT I do LOVE it and so do the girls (And let me tell you they are picky with their houses!) The girls dad is still down in Madison, so our schedule has been goofy but we will have a busy holiday weekend and hopefully the weather will be nice!

Gender Tests and 13 Week Bump

We did 2 different tests to determine the gender of the Baby. The first checked for the presence of a Y chromosome (Boy) in my blood. I had to get blood drawn and then it was shipped off to Canada. They were pretty speedy. They emailed us the results just a few days later. Here is what we got.

Then I went and got this urine boy/girl test at Walgreens. People swear by this test so I thought why not it cant hurt and we can see if it matches up with the blood test. Sure enough...Girl it is :-D If it was a boy it would have been a greenish/brown color. Our anatomy ultrasound will be in July so we will get final confirmation of girl, but I am pretty confident its a girl. 

I am now 13 weeks. I feel pregnant, sleeping sucks, I haven't gained any weight, so far so good.

 

 

 

 

 

 





Father's Day

Tomorrow will be my first Father's Day without my incredible dad. Dads are a crucial part in a daughters life. Daughters need an amazing, confident, selfless dad to watch them grow, protect them, lead them on the right path and to take care of them. I am happy to say that Jason and I will be welcoming a little girl into our hearts :-) I am excited to watch Jason and this baby girl have the same incredible relationship that I was able to have with my Dad. Happy Father's Day!

29 Weeks to go...

All is well with us!  We had another ultrasound last week. We got to see the babies little arms and legs moving around on the screen. It was pretty cool! Jason got to meet Dr. Bell for the first time too :-)  We are so excited. We also got to hear the heartbeat with the Doppler. I bought a Doppler at home and was able to pick up a heartbeat at about 8w4d so we were a step ahead of the doctor. Its nice to be able to listen to the baby at home :-) Here is the pic from last week; crazy how you can see arms, and legs and a head!

We have  boy name picked out and a few ideas for a girl name. I bought a gender kit from Canada that will tell us if its a boy or a girl.  The labs went out earlier this week. We should hear back next week!  eeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!  http://www.prenatalgeneticscenter.com/services/prenatal-dna-gender-test/

I also had the urge to buy something for the baby so we bought this awesome sucker! I just love it!!!! Its crazy high tech and looks awesome too! http://cybex-online.com/us/carseats/atonq.html

That's about it for now. We go back to the doctor on 6/27.  I think about how yummy a bloody mary, a glass of Moscato, a Mikes hard lemonade and a strawberry daiquiri are going to taste in 6 months!! LOL
