Another Doctor Update

Our doctor's visits keep getting better everytime. I am 22 weeks and 2 days now and the baby is doing great. The heartbeat is strong and the doctor heard her kicking like crazy. The doctor has taken me off of bedrest and is very pleased with the progress. The doctor says that we are in the clear and almost back to a normal pregnancy. I feel so relieved!! I feel her kick almost everyday. It is usually after a meal or when I am laying down resting. We have picked out all of the furniture and have decided on the bedding. I am ready to get to work on the room. G-ma (my mom) came to visit with 10 new outfits for her that are just precious. She is spoiled already! Now we just need to finalize a name for our baby girl!!

Belly Pictures

Our baby girl is growing and so is mommy!! I am 21 weeks and 1 day today. It is going by quick. At first I wasn't sure I liked the baby bump, but now I love it!! I love strangers asking me questions and I get to talk about my little angel!

Valentine's Day Present

I got the best present for Valentine's Day...I finally felt the baby kick!! Chis and I went to a nice dinner at Bennihana's last night, per pregnant mommy's request, Yummy and then went home to be lazy. I was laying on the couch and then I felt tiny bubbles in my tummy. It was great! I am pretty sure I have felt them before, but this time they were much harder. I guess she loved Bennihana's too! It was amazing!I am 21 weeks and growing everyday. I will post a belly pic soon!!

It's a ...GIRL!!!

We are having a healthy baby girl!! Everything looked great! The placenta has repaired itself and the doctor could not even tell there was ever a problem. I feel so relieved and am so happy our prayers were answered. I burst out in tears when I heard the good news. She is 1 pound right now and is right on track. She was a very stubborn little girl. The ultrasound took an hour because she did not want to open her legs, but she finally did. Mom said she was paying me back! We are very excited about a baby girl. I had a feeling all along and I was right. Chris says his baby girl already has him wrapped around her little finger and is so protective of her. It is so sweet. We are ready to pick out a name and work on the room.


See why I am a girl!

Our Baby Girl!

Good News from Doctor

I went to the doctor today and everything looked great. The baby's heartbeat was strong and the baby even kicked the doctor(we heard the whish) The baby is very active and is growing! The doctor said for me to continue to take it easy. I go back to her in 4 weeks and she said after that if everything keeps progressing she doesn't have any worries I'll make it to the end. I feel so much better. In 2 more weeks we get to find out what we are having!! {Even though I know it's a girl)

Trip to the Specialist

Last Friday I went to see a specialist to find out that I have 20 percent of my placenta detached. The good news is the baby is still growing and getting all the food it needs right now. The baby was between 48 to 54 percent in all areas of growth which is great! The doctor said in most cases it is fine. The baby grows and it turns out to be a healthy strong baby. We have been praying that is the case. She said the best thing for me to do it rest as much as possible. I am trying to stay positive and strong for my little one. I know that is in God's hands and I have a wonderful support system. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers!! We go back to the specialist in 3 weeks where we will find out the sex and see the growth and in a week for our normal check-up!

Happy New Year!

I hope that everyone has a happy 2009! I know Chris and I are so excited about bringing a baby into our world this year. I will be 16 weeks on Sunday, so only 4 more weeks until we find out what we are having. I just have a feeling that it is going to be a baby girl, but I could be totally wrong. When we got the ultrasound at 14 weeks the doctor kept calling the baby a she. I caught on and asked her why. She said if it is a boy you can usually tell at 11 weeks, but she is not sure. We will have to see. Chris really wants his first to be a boy to play sports with, but I know he will fall in love with a baby girl!! I am finally getting my energy back and my apetite has increased this week. I will keep you posted!!
