A bit of a scare

Little Mister and I ended up in Labor and Delivery Triage yesterday!
In the morning while getting ready for work I had bent down to pick something up off the floor and when I stood up got a little dizzy, so I sat down thinking it would go away. The dizziness did not go away it only got worse, so I laid down, it got even worse. It felt like the room was spinning one way and I was spinning the opposite direction. Then I started to get very sick to my stomach. I finally go up and basically crawled along the wall and on furniture to my phone and called my mommy!! By the way what would we do with out our mom's?

Once I finally got someone at the Dr's office they said go to Labor and Delivery not the ER. At this point I start really freaking out, crying and basically hyperventilating because I don't know what's going on and I figured you don't go to Labor and Delivery until you are in Labor!! Plus the receptionist at the office had a major attitude about it all!!
So once my mom got to the house we went to the hospital where the very nice nurse explained that once you are past 20 weeks you go there instead of the ER in an emergency because they have the proper equipment to monitor the baby!!!

So after some blood tests and hearing little mister's heartbeat we were given the all clear, just have to take it a little slower!!!

Thank god that is over with!!!

Baby's first favorite song!

I don't know if anyone else does or did this while they were pregnant but I love to sing to my little mister, sometimes he'll even move around when we're singing but there is one song that I love to sing to him because I really feel like it says everything I feel about meeting him. When I sing this song to him even if he's been moving around like crazy, he's always very calm and still! I know the song was written about finding a love but I really love the lyrics for talking about what it's like trying to get pregnant! I know how incredibly lucky we were to get pregnant so quickly but those few months when the tests were negative we awful and I feel for anyone that has to go through that for any length of time! Maybe these lyrics will help someone else understand that it will all work out!! As Michael says "I guess it's half timin and the other half's luck"

"Haven't Met You Yet"

Michael Buble

I'm not surprised, not everything lasts

I've broken my heart so many times

I stopped keeping track

Talk myself in,

I talk myself out

I get all worked up then I let myself down

I tried so very hard not to loose it

I came up with a million excuses

I thought, I thought of every possibility

And I know some day that it’ll all turn out

You'll make me work so we can work to work it out

And I promise you kid that I give so much more than I get

I just haven't met you yet

I might have to wait,

I’ll never give up

I guess it's half timin and the other half's luck

Wherever you are, whenever it's right

You'll come outta nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazin

And baby your love is gonna change me

And now I can see every possibility

Somehow I know that it’ll all turn out

You'll make me work so we can work to work it out

And promise you kid I'll give so much more than I get

I just haven't met you yet

They say all’s fair in love and war

But I won’t need to fight it

We'll get it right and we'll be united

And I know that we can be so amazin

And bein in your life is gonna change me

And now I can see every single possibility

And someday I know it'll all turn out

And I'll work to work it out

Promise you kid I’ll give more than I get

Oh you know it'll all turn out

And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out

And promise you kid to give so much more than I get yeah

I just haven't met you yet

I just haven't met you yet

Oh promise you kid to give so much more than I get

I said love love love love love love love

I just haven't met you yet

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!!
