2nd Ultrasound!

We had our second ultrasound yesterday. Everything went well, he's right on track for size as he should be for is 'age'. He was also much more cooperative this time, they were able to get all the images they needed of his heart which they assured me looked good.

He even waved to us and we got to see him kicking his little feet around like crazy!!! It was so amazing! He really looks like a baby now, no more scary skeletor face! I think he'll be perfect!!

In the top picture you can see almost his whole body, his head is to the left of the photo. The bottom photo is a close up of his face, his hands are both up near his chin.

salsa anyone?

So little mister is really starting to move around. The other night it felt like I was holding salsa class in my belly!! I love feeling the movement now but at first it was really weird!!

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day everyone!!

I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Memorial day and most importantly remembers what this day is supposed to be about the men and women who have served our country so we can have the freedoms we have today!!

A blast from the past! This is Greg and I when he graduated from boot camp on Sept 11, 1998!!!

21 week check up

We went to the Dr's this morning! Little mister was very active again! I think I'm going to have my hands full when he get's here. When we go to the Dr and she's trying to get the heartrate he is very active and wiggly but when we had the ultrasound he wouldn't move or turn over for us!!

Heart rate was good 144 BMP. I have a follow up ultrasound next friday so they can try to see his heart which they couldn't the first time. Then in 4 weeks I get to have the very yummy glucose test!! I've heard it's like drinking very sugary fanta orange pop! We'll see!

Oh and I gained 5lbs!! I know I shouldn't be stressed about it because that's the first I've gained but when you spend the majority of your life trying to lose weight and then you have to gain, 5lbs in 4 weeks seems like it's alot!! The Dr said it's fine but I'm still slightly stressed over it!!
Any thoughts from other moms?

It's been awhile!

Ok so it's been a bit longer then awhile since I posted!!!
So much has happened, good and bad.
The best thing that has happened is that I'm Pregnant!! I'm due October 3, 2010. We are having a little boy!! Greg is VERY excited to be getting a son!! I too am very happy and very excited. In the last week or so my belly has just popped out of no where!!!
Here I am at 20.5 weeks.

I'm feeling really good, I actually feel pretty normal, aside from the occasional back pain and numbness from when Little Mister lays on my siatic nerve!!
We have decided to keep names a secret until Little Mister arrives, partly because we want to see him before we decide! So until then we refer to him a Little Mister. Here are some ultrasound pictures of him.

His adorable little foot!

The scary view, when he looked right at us!!

Our Little Mister! He was very stubborn and wouldn't turn over, he stayed upside down the whole time!!

Needless to say we can not wait for our little one to get here, in the meantime we have to get his room ready!

I'll be posting more often now with baby updates!!

Another awesome show!

Last night my good friend Jacki and I drove all the way to Grand Rapids to see New Kids on the Block. I know this seems extreme but 15-20 years ago every girl wanted to go see NKOTB!
Plus it was well worth it once I got to touch all 5 of the guys! Our section go picked to stand around the small stage in the back of the floor! It was a lot of fun!
Plus for the encore they came out in MSU basketball jersey's, sang Hangin Tough then shot off green and white confetti!!!
It was awesome!
Here's a little clip, see if it brings back memories!

Holy Cow where have a I been!

WOW I didn't realize it has been over a month since my last blog!

Life's been busy! Greg finally got on the day shift!!! So we actually get to see each other everyday for more then a few minutes and we get to eat dinner together everyday for the first time in a VERY long time, really ever. It's so nice, it's kind of like being newlyweds all over again!
Speaking of newlyweds, I have to say congrats to my one of my very closest friends Bess who got engaged a few weeks ago. I'm sure she is still floating!!

So is anyone else getting a bit annoyed with the Tonkins or whatever on Biggest Loser, Filipe and Sionia? I was really hating the whole black team last week, they did not deserve to win that weigh in!

Anyone watching Dancing with the Stars? I haven't watched in a long time but you know I've gotta follow the Girls Next Door (who aren't anymore)! Plus I really like Shawn Johnson and Denise Richards (don't ask me why about this one)!
Anyway should be interesting! What is with the Apple guy?

Anyway I'm going to try to get back on track here, just need something exciting to happen to write about!
