Peanut's Ultra sound...

It went AWESOME!!! We saw peanut moving everywhere. He/She was doing summer salutes, high fives, and waving. Its amazing how much they can move. I just cant believe I cant feel the movement yet. We have new picture of peanut and a DVD. I am going to try and figure out how to put the video on here so you can watch it.

I think its really sinking in that I'm REALLY pregnant now. I am starting to show and everything.

We set our BIG gender reveal Ultra Sound!!! JUNE 4th!!!! I also added a ticker... YAY!!! 38 more days.

p.s I have jury duty tomorrow BOOOOOOOOO. I'll post about all that fun tomorrow. I just hope I feel good!!

I had to do it!!!

Our school has a carnival every year. At the carnival they have a rummage sale (aka garage sale). I was about to leave when they cutest little girl onsies caught my eye! I had to buy it and 4 other onsies. They were all from carters and .25 cents each!!!!!! So, I bought 5 of the cutest outfit for $1.25. If I end up not having a girl..its ok. I'll just give them to someone who is. I am soooooo excited tho.

Tomorrow we get to see peanut!!! I have an ultrasound and I am soooooo excited. My mom is going with James and I just to see peanut!!! I dont know if its to early but I think I felt peanut move last week 3 times. They were all on my way to work! It felt just like a little butterfly in my tummy.

Oh and I thought I was feeling better. NOT SO MUCH! Monday and Tuesday of last week I was a new woman. I felt great. Wednesday and Thursday I started to feel bad in the mornings. Friday it was back in full force. I felt BAD really BAD all day!!! Yesterday I felt bad too..but I made my self get out of bed and go to the carnival and I'm so glad I did. After we got home I felt so bad again. I am SOOOOO ready to start feeling good and enjoying this. I thought it was supposed to get better at 12 weeks??? OH, I hope this starts to fizzle off.

We made it....

to 12 weeks that is. YAY! This week I have been feeling so much better and I am soooo thankful for that. I am also starving! Even more then I was before... if that is even possible. I wanted to take my 12 week belly picture today but James is working nights. So, I'm going to try and rigg the camera some how to take it my self! YAY to 12 weeks and feeling better.

Stuff about he baby at 12 weeks:
Your BabyBaby's face is looking more human as his eyes have moved to the front of his head and his ears are in place. Hooray! Other amazing fetal highlights this week: Your baby is able to swallow this week and practices on the amniotic fluid he or she floats in. (And you thought baby food was kind of nasty!) And in case you're wondering how your kid can breathe in all that fluid, here's your answer: Fetuses get oxygen from the blood pumped into their bodies by the placenta and don't breathe with their lungs. Mystery solved!This is kind of gross, albeit fascinating, so feel free to skip ahead: Your baby's intestines are well under way, but they aren't all where you'd expect them to be. Instead of all being locked away in the body cavity, some are dangling on the outside, in the umbilical cord. Ewwww.Don't forget to put a baby nail file on your registry—your little nugget's finger- and toenails are forming this week. The chin and nose are also becoming more defined. Junior has doubled in size over the past two weeks and now weighs almost ½ ounce. He's also now around 2 ½ inches long, about the length of your pinky finger or a Vienna sausage, which, in a few months, will be indistinguishable from one another.

YAY for peanut!

Our BIG scare!!!

Friday I went back to work from being so sick. I managed not to throw up all day, but it was VERY close many times. My schools cafeteria smells so bad! I left work at 3:00 and my appointment was at 4:00. Work is super close to my doctor and by the mall- that's a plus! So, I ran into the mall really quick to get some make up. I called James and told him I was just going to go into the doctor and check in. Last time my appt was at 4:00 we sat in the waiting room till 4:40. James had just left work (it was about 3:30). At 3:35 they call my name?? Um, what?? Of course they call my name just because my hubby wasn't there. I go into the room with the nurse and I tell her I was in the ER from the stomach bug and I'm concerned about the baby. She said ok, well let me go get the doppler so we can hear the heartbeat. Remember James isnt here yet! She comes back with it and she cant find the heart beat!!! She tells me she cant find it and then tells me she is going to go get another nurse to try. I am FREAKING out!!! James wasn't there. I was so sick and I had really had cramps. AHHHHHH! So, another nurse comes in and tries. 10 minutes later..CANT find the heart neat. THIS CANT BE HAPPENING! The nurse tells me they are going to see if they can fit me into ultra sound. Ok? So maybe they just cant hear it and I will be able to see little peanut. Ok calm down!!! Finally James gets there. I am TRYING not to bawl my eyes out. TRYING REALLY HARD!!! James and I are sitting and talking and another nurse comes in and wants to try. Ok. 5 minutes later...Cant find the heartbeat. Ok this nurse really made me mad. She said , "Are you sure when your last period was?!?!!" REALLY?!?!? Yes, last time we came we saw peanut on the ultraounD!!!! So, she leaves and we are waiting to go to ultrasound. The doctor comes in and tells me she is going to try to find it while we are waiting. She tell me to lay down and unzip my pants. Ok. The first time she put the doppler on the stomach she found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 162 BPM! Oh how I love my doctor.

So, I didn't end up getting an ultra sound. I have to go back next week to get my 12 week u/s to check for genetic disorders. The doctor said my thyroid is a little off again and wanted me to go get more blood work done. GREAT! So, James and I headed down to get my blood work done and then we went and feasted on Olive Garden. That was the first meal I have eaten in 3 days!

What a scare!

Ive been SICK!!!

I am SOOOO sorry I havent been posting. First our internet went out. THEN... I got a LOVELY stomach bug from a kid at school.. WHICH..landed me into the ER with severe dehydration. I was hooked up to an IV and the whole 9 yeards. I had REALLY bad cramps and they didn’t even do an U/S. I lost 6 pounds that one day. I WAS SO MAD. I haven’t thrown up this whole pregnancy until I got that stomach bug and let me tell you.. I have throw up enough times in 1 day !!!! I NEVER EVER EVER want to puke again!!! Today I am going to the doctor to beg them to do an U/S!!!! I want to see and hear my baby!!!!!! I am so scared. Pray. I'll update this afternoon.

Come on Friday!!!!

I am soooooo ready for Friday!!!! I get to go see the doctor again on Friday. I am going to beg her to let me get an ultra sound. I want to see peanut again and SOON!!!!!!!!!!! I know I am due for another ultra sound, so lets get on it!

Guess what else?? I am also feeling a lot better today. I am eating like a hippo. LOL. Seriously I will eat lunch and 10 minutes later.. I'M STARVING!!!

Tomorrow I will be 11 weeks. Here is my 11 week info:
Your Pregnancy: Week 11Pregnancy is about indulging and abstaining, all at once. You'll be saying both, "Oooh, another scoop of ice cream? Sure, make it two!" and "No wine. Just water for me, thanks." You have 29 weeks of this all-or-nothing living to go, so focus on the perks (whipped cream, chocolate sauce and a cherry, anyone?) and think how great all the stuff you can't do now will be when you can do it later.

"I am not crazy for crying like a little girl during the cheerleading championship on ESPN. Those girls work hard!"Your BodyFinally the excuse "Not tonight honey, I have a headache" is legit! Thanks to all the new and extreme hormones surging through your body, many women experience increased headaches while pregnant. And since you're limited in which pain relievers you can take while pregnant, getting rid of a nasty headache may be especially difficult. While acetaminophen (like Tylenol) is considered safe during pregnancy, other pain relievers like ibuprofen should be avoided. If you want to avoid taking any medication, there are a few alternative headache remedies, like cold compresses and exercise, that can help. Unfortunately, women who have a tendency to get migraines tend to get more of them during pregnancy. Talk to your doctor if you're having trouble coping.Your BabyAll of your baby's vital organs are now formed and functioning, so the risk of defects decreases this week as your baby becomes less susceptible to outside influences. Phew!

Other exciting developments include:Baby's ears are assuming their proper place this week and the fingernail and toenail beds are beginning to form. Your little "pumpkin head" really lives up to his nickname as his head is nearly as big as the rest of his body.While testes or ovaries are completely formed now, don't start decorating the nursery. You won't be able to see your baby's gender for a few more weeks yet.Your baby is really on the move now. In an ultrasound you might be able to see your little acrobat flailing his or her arms and legs and doing somersaults worthy of Cirque du Soleil. You still won't be able to feel any movement, so if you feel something "kick" in there, it's probably gas. In the next nine weeks, your baby will increase 30 times in weight and almost triple in length. You might feel like you're increasing 30 times in weight at this point, too, but we can assure you're not—because, honey, you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Your baby now weighs a third of an ounce, about the same as two small, Starbucks-sized packets of sugar, is about 2 inches long, the length of one of those sugar packets. Isn't that sweet? AWWWWWWWWW

Morning Sickness has come back to haunt me.

I thought I was getting over my all day sickness. Yesterday I felt great! I spent 3 hours cleaning my house. Well, this morning was a different story. I woke up just like I always do (slowly). I went to the kitchen and got a bottle of water. I drank about 1/2 the bottle and got in the shower. I was feeling fine and I thought today was going to be a fun and easy day! Well little did I know that wasn't going to be the case. After I got out of the shower, I walked to the laundry room to go put my pants in the dryer (yes, that's my way of ironing!). I walked back past the kitchen into our bedroom and it hits me. I dint feel so good. (Let me back track. I think I have mentioned this I can not stand the smell of out kitchen/livingroom area. I thought I had figured out the smell, but I was wrong. IT SMELLS SO GROSS!!!!!!!!! I really cant stand to go in there.) Well I got 2 big whiffs of the nasty kitchen smell and my 1/2 a bottle of water starts to come up. I grab my medication and run back into the bedroom. I take my medication as fast as possible, which is slow. The medicine has to dissolve on my tongue. SLOW I'm telling you. I am trying to hold my throw up back as I'm letting the medication dissolve on my tongue. Normally I cant stand the taste of it but at this point I cant even taste it. After it all dissolves I feel worse. I keep telling my self just let the medication work, please WORK!!!!!!!! (I hate throwing up!!!!!). By this time I am in mid run to the bathroom. I get there and realize if I do throw up its going to be projectile (ew TMI!!). So, I move the toilet paper holder that's on the floor, and go lay down on our bed. I just keep thinking you are going to be ok. After laying down for about 10 mintues I do start to feel better. I manage to get dressed and now I have to go back to the dreaded kitchen to pack my lunch!!!! EWWWWWWWW. I really dont want to go back in there, but I have no choice- James is already at work!!!! This time the kitchen didnt smell as bad. I managed to make my lunch and eat some dry cereal. I'm just praying I can make it today at work. I'm so thankful I dont have lunch duty this week. That place really STINKS:) Oh the fun times of morning sickness.

Tired.

The tiredness has set in. I am not even sure if that is a word, but it is now. I went to bed last night at 7:30. Today I can barely keep my eyes open. Tonight is going to be another early night.

Names

James and I have our girls names picked out. But.. we haven’t really found any boy names we LOVE. Does anyone have any ideas of boy names? James doesn’t like names that are to “preppy” and I tend to like those names. Everything I suggest he hates. He Ha see how fun this process is? So, does anyone have any suggestions.

Intelligender Results..

Ladies it was so hard to read. It defiantly wasn't just green or orange. James and I both looked at the container for a few minutes. My best guess is that it said BOY! I am not going to go out and buy anything. We will see in 6 more weeks at my ultrasound. Now, I guess its time to start thinking of boy names we like.

The poll is up!!!

VOTE!!! Boy or girl! :)

Easter Weekend

Yay for Easter weekend. We had Good Friday off of work and it was sooo nice to just relax WITH my hubby!!! Friday I felt pretty good all day. Today is Saturday, so I'm hoping I still feel good today. I am starting to feel like my self again. I REALLY hope this lasts!!!

Do you know what I LOVE???

SNOW CONES!!!!!!

I love love love them. I cant get enough of them. I did get one yesterday that I didnt really care for. I dont like when they have TO much juice! So, I have to remember when I go next time to tell them easy on the juice. My favorite favor is banana. I do not even really like REAL bananas so I'm not sure why I love that flavor so much?!?!? What flavor should I try next???

I am sooooooooooooooooo excited next Wednesday I will be 10 weeks. At 10 weeks you can do

I know its only 80% accurate. BUT.. I want to do it for fun!!! :) I cant wait. Has anyone ever used Intelligender before??


Happy Easter everyone!

My husband is awesome!

James had been working night and I hate it! I go to bed so early we totally miss each other. Today he surprised me at work! It was AWESOME!!!!!! He brought me a card and this:

I have been dying to see his movie! I can not wait to watch it with him!!!!!!!

My hubby is sooooooo good to me! He made my day so awesome. The best part of my surprise was seeing him. I am sooo happy now.

Thank babe for being SO wonderful!!!

Today is not that day..

I am starting to think I get really sick every other day. Tuesday I was SO sick and yesterday I was great. Today I am already feeling bad. This morning I woke up and not even 5 minutes later it hits me..Throw up or take a Zofran. My choice was to take a Zofran.

I can NOT stand the smell of our kitchen/livivng room. It is a smell I can not describe. It nothing I have ever smelled before. I have scrubbed the kitchen from top to bottom and it still smells! I even tried lighting candles, but I cant stand the smell of them either!

This morning I had to go into the kitchen to get my Zofran and "the smell" hit me! Immediately I almost lost my dinner from last night. I wish I had video of this. I ran covering my mouth at full speed grabbed my medicine and ran back into our bedroom.

Oh the thrill of pregnancy nose!

Happy Thursday. I hope I can keep my breakfast now. :)
