Perfectly Breech Baby!

Ok, so we went to the doctor today and found out that the ultrasound was perfectly normal...phew!
It looks like she's cooking well in there. She's moving and kicking up a storm these days. She especially likes it when I sit down to teach. She bounces up and down on my bladder. I think she's reminding me to give the little rug rats a bathroom break. She loves the night life also. As soon as I lay down in bed she wakes up. Is this a sign of future things to come? All I know is she's stretching muscles I never knew I had in there and sleeping still isn't quite as enjoyable as it used to be. All I want for Christmas is a body pillow and a prenatal massage.

P.S. She's breech. The doctor says about 50% are at this point and about 97% get into position by 36 weeks. I sure hope so!

Barney's Big Announcement!

We've joined Team PINK! I am very surprised. I thought for sure it was a boy. I guess my intuition stinks! We are thrilled with our surprising news! I can't wait to buy something pink! Jay better watch out. I don't know if he can handle two of me! Isn't she cute? We're in love already. Jay was amazed that we were actually watching a person and she was waving at us. I think we were bothering her. She hid her face at the very end. She must've been napping. She is definitely my child.

18 weeks!

I found the 2 lbs I've gained in the past two weeks!

16 Week Appointment

We had our 16 week appointment today. Everything went well. I only gained 1 pound! Woo Hoo!
The baby's heartbeat was loud and clear today and 141 bpm. We find out what we're having on November 5...hopefully. Will it be team blue or team pink????

A Pea in My Pod!

I feel more like the Princess and the Pea! Everyone's been asking for an update. Well the only update I have is...I don't sleep well anymore and anyone who knows me well...knows I need my sleep! I appreciate sleep very much. It is a hobby of mine, and it is now gone until further notice. I am a stomach sleeper and am nearly past that point now. I have 4 pillows stuffed anywhere I can stuff a pillow. All I think is "It's way too early for this!" I thought all this stuff came later.

But we are still very excited...when we're awake! :)

And We Have A Baby Bump!

Yes, it's official! We have a baby bump. We've entered the world of maternity pants. Once you start, there's no going back. Too bad I didn't discover the elastic band a long time ago. :)

Here's a picture of our itty bitty baby bump.

We also celebrated our 1st anniversary today. My wonderful husband brought me flowers, took me to dinner, and reincarnated our cake topper that was lost in the move! How awesome is he? Same flavor, same style, and it tasted much better than the freezer burnt version. I am so proud!

Not much other news to share yet. Our next appt is on the 20th so we'll keep you posted.

Dr. Appointment

We had our second doctor's appointment today. Everything went well. We heard the heartbeat. It sounded very far away but it was there. The doctor said that it's normal for 12 weeks. Blood work was normal and everything seems to be on track. I guess it really is in there! It seems a little more real to me now I guess. We have a sound due date of April 3 but he said he refuses to deliver on April 1 because it would be torture for the poor child. I guess it would make sense to deliver on April Fool's Day since my second appointment was originally scheduled on September 11, and my ultrasound was originally scheduled for Halloween. Both have since been changed so maybe there's hope!
