Holy Movement Batman!!

So this is new.. movement! just started this week! at first i wasn't to sure.. but now i'm 100 percent sure haha. it's always on my left side so it's soooo weird. you can feel little flips and bubbles and flutters and i swear today thumps! it's exciting and odd. can't wait til mike can feel kicks, i know he's excited too!

Well... It's A.....

So...I got impatient and went to an ultrasound place. Yeah, me impatient, can you believe that? Anyways we found that that IT'S A GIRL! We got to hear the heartbeat and watch her for a while. My first appointment didn't go so smoothly, it was all baby bum! Then i had to go back a couple days later.. once again.. she wouldn't cooperate! I had to turn, be poked, and had to drink cold cold water! FINALLY.. the epic crotch shot we have been waiting for! It's a funny pic, she's all spread eagle, but i'm not going to post it. For now enjoy the profile, fist, and baby bum bum pictures :)

4 months!

We made it! 4 months.. seems like something to celebrate, maybe because it's an even month? Not sure. Lets see what's changed...
Well, my ab muscles finally gave out and now my belly pokes out. This is new because usually i'm oh so toned haha. I know it's just not in my head because my co workers like to pat my buddah belly. They must be patting people, i was told to pat them back when it annoys me, so maybe i'll get one of them good. I'm still down 5 pounds but not to worried about it since my belly seems to be growing.
Haven't thrown up in a solid week which is an amazing feeling! Cravings... this second it's lemon ice tea (no caffine, i know i know, no one wants to kill a baby with some caffine) and cheese/pickle sandwiches! YUM! i just made myself hungry!
Mood swings.. Present, Back aches.. Present, Headaches.. Present so i guess i'm right on schedule :)

Hungry? Just a little...

So... it's true! You should definitely NOT go shopping when hungry or else your counter will end up like ours. Good news is I can't say "well there's nothing to eat" because I'm sure that I bought one of everything in the store. Sadly with Mike's bottomless stomach, this will last about a week and a half haha. Now.. what to make for dinner? HOT DOG!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone one had a fantastic one, i know we did! First we went to my parents and then mikes. SUCH yummy food from both places, you guys should be jealous! We also did our after Thanksgiving shopping! We hit up target, babies r us, FYE, home depot and Walmart. No worries, we didn't break the bank haha.

Little Lounger

Well today i had my NT scan and of course, our baby is stubborn! The nurse says that he's on the placenta (so he's using the placenta as a pillow, lazy baby!) and he kept trying to suck his thumb but his little arm isn't long enough to reach his mouth (see pic one)! it was so cute! we got to watch baby for about 40 minutes while they pushed and tried to get the baby into position. They said the baby looks healthy and they see nothing to be concerned about so that's good, just a little bummed that he wouldn't move though.
ps: i'm only writing he because the nurse kept saying he. it could still be a girl, never know! but we will find out for sure on december 22!! isn't it amazing how much has changed in two weeks? it actually looks like a baby with arms and legs and not a gummy with paw paws.

What the future will bring..

So while on thebump.com, i found this tool where you can morph together pictures to see what your future kid will look like. Apparently this is what the website has come up for us. Cute isn't he? haha. I call him Mr.Forehead. Mike and I sure had a good laugh over this one, but eh, only time will tell i suppose. haha i'm still laughing!

oh and if it's a girl

TA DA!!!

Got Doppler?

YES I DO! haha. i bought this fetal dopper when i was around 10 weeks and i love it! i did some research and wanted a doppler that i could use before 30 weeks. i know, go figure. So i went with the angelsounds fetal doppler. you don't have to use the gel they recommend. baby oil, lotion, etc work perfectly! my gummy bear seems to be snuggly in one spot so now i can find the heartbeat in less than a minute. i use it almost everyday just to ease my mind til i can feel some kicks! runs around 35 bucks and totally worth it!!!

Hi Gummy Bear

Here you go! The first pictures of our gummy bear. Come on, totally looks like a gummy bear yeah? So today was a BIG day. My first doctors appointment. I got to see baby wiggle (so awesome), watch the heart flutter, and hear the heartbeat! It was SO amazing. Baby is due on June 1, but that's when they thought I was at 10 weeks, HA! I'm actually 10 weeks and 5 days, and yes, the 5 days totally matter!!! Sickness is still there, but it's getting a bit easier and yes, every little cramp still freaks me out. Well only 29 weeks and 2 days left! YIKES!

All alone... kinda

Well, yesterday was not a good day for me. NOPE. I had some issues with cramping, etc and no one would help me! I'm talking medical wise, my friends and the internet were there of course, but sometimes you just need that reassurance from a professional. I tried calling my doctor, but they were gone for the day and it didn't seem like an emergency so I didn't want to have them paged.. that's dumb. So I called an instacare who said they can't help me and I need to go to the E.R. So i called the E.R and the lady just said, "all i can tell you is that if you feel the need to come in, come in". I understand that advice can not be given, i wasn't looking for advice, i was just looking for an answer to a very dumb question. Anyways, the whole situation made me cry and i turned to my mom. Girls, always turn back to home base (being mom), she usually knows it all, and turns out I'm just fine. whew.. and exhausting and emotional day.
As for today, my morning sickness is terrible and i feel very blah-ish so i guess i'm right on schedule. The throwing up has continued and I can no longer stand pizza lunchables. I'm still all over oranges and chocolate cake though :) I just have to make it another 32 weeks... ughh i just depressed myself...

Introducing....

Baby Comrie. That's right folks, I'm preggers! 7 weeks and counting, well I guess 7 weeks and 1 day, each day is very important haha. Let's see, what's changed you ask.. A LOT!
My mood, my boobs, my appetite, my whole day really. I wake up early and go to bed early. I'm seriously spent by 9 pm, and by spent I mean I'm in bed by 8 and asleep by 9! Poor Mike has no one to talk to when I crash, thank goodness for HALO! I crave DUMB things, well maybe not crave, but can only tolerate certain foods. Last week it was all about cake, this week it's lunchables (pizza) and oranges. NO MEAT! yuck, just the thought of ground beef makes me want to throw up. Oh, and BIG news! Today was my first day I threw up! HA good news to me, probably weird news to you, just makes the pregnancy seem a little more real. Well, we'll see how it goes, only time will tell :) i'll keep everyone posted!
First appointment is November 3 for my ultrasound :)
I went in last friday to get my blood tested and my levels were 14,632... so very good :)

4 + 2 = 6

That's right! New family members! No, not in the form of babies! We got kitties!! Well.. actually.. I got kitties. I adopted them from the animal shelter and they are the sweetest kitties! Introducing.... Dr. Dank and Nuggers!!

We're Baaaack......

Yep, seems as if a year is a long enough break from blogging. So now I'm back to my old ways :) Updates soon along with some great pictures!!
