Baby Update



So I have lots to report today.

First things first, Baby is doing great. I went to the doctor today and heard the heartbeat again! The nurse said it was good--164 beats per minute! All of my bloodwork and stuff checked out "perfect" as the doctor said, and I have gained 2 pounds.
:)

In other news (still about baby because, really, what else is there to talk about?), Baby got his/her first present last week! Last week was the week for packages--we got THREE! First came a gift from "Auntie" Lindsey. She sent baby the gowns on the right. One is white and says "mommy loves me" the other (behind it) is yellow with a duck on it! So CUTE!

The next day I got a package of maternity clothes sent from my cousin Misti via my Aunt Lee. My aunt told me several months ago that when we got ready to have children, I should try to aim for February so I could use Misti's clothes (her son turned one this past Feb 2010). Well I must say I did a fabulous job because my due date is Cole's birthday! Anyways, she sent some summer things to help get me through until I can come home and pick up the winter stuff--which I won't need for a while anyways.

Then I got a package on Saturday from my mother! Michael comes blazing in with the package hollering that he is going to have to take his baby and move to Australia because if its a boy, no one will love him. Apparently, my mother had a VIVID dream in which she discovered that my baby is a GIRL. She was so SURE of this revelation, that she went out and bought a PINK gown set (see below on left!). HAHAHA! She also sent the "Baby's on the Way!" Pregnancy journal. I already have it caught up to where I am now!
Other than that, not much is going on around here. The cloth diaper vs. disposable debate continues. Feel free to weigh in in the comment section. We are debating between Bumgenius, FuzziBunz, or just plain ole disposables.

Hopefully the next time I post I'll have pictures of my sweet nephew Luke!! For now we are patiently awaiting his arrival!

Surprise!

We are having a BABY! I am due February 2nd!! Shocked!?! Us too! We are super excited and can't wait to meet this little person growing inside me. Here are some pics of the little bundle of joy from our first sonogram.

We got to hear the heartbeat (162 beats per minute) and watch it flicker! AMAZING! The whole thing went by way too fast. I wanted to ask her to please go back to my baby, I wasn't done looking.

I am going to be brave and post some tummy pictures. Its definitely growing but I'm not sure if its because of the baby or because I'm eating everything in sight!

7 Weeks and 5 Days--Same day as sonogram above.
9 weeks and 4 days
10 Weeks and 4 Days

Thankfully I have not been sick. I wake up starving and thinking I'm going to die, but as soon as I eat everything settles down. I'm hungry about every 2 hours, and if I'm not able to eat, I feel nauseous. I'm quite tired and take naps each afternoon and usually go to bed around 9:30.

So I think that covers the basic questions I keep getting. We are really excited and thankful for this gift God has given us. and YES we will be finding out the gender in September!
