Name change

Well today was a good day after waiting six weeks we found out that the courts accepted the name change. Now it has to be posted in the local paper for three consecutive weeks and once that is done the name change will be finalized I am so happy we will all have the same last name now.

nursery pictures

Here are a few pictures of our nursery. We already have all the drawers full of onesies, sleepers and sheets. On the 30th of October I was able to feel the baby kick it was so cool C said that was the hardest it had ever kicked so I think it wanted me to know it was listening. I hate saying "it" but what else do I use? Last week was a very bad week for C we ended up in the Emergent Care clinic on Sunday with here back killing her she thought she must of over did some yard work on Saturday. The Doctor gave her muscle relaxers and sent her on the way. The next morning she still was in pain she even called into work and if you know C you would know that it must be bad because she never calls into work. She was in tears and throwing up everything nothing would stay down. Thursday I think she had enough and ended up going to the OB Dr. Friday. Well to make a long story short she passed a kidney stone. She said it was like night and day the way she felt. The OB put her on a anti-b and at dinner I noticed her face was turning red she was allergic to the anti-b so she called the Dr and they said to stop taking it and she didn't need any because the test they took showed no infection. That was good news we both hate her having to take pills with the little baby bumpkin in the oven but she was in so much pain what do you do? So C was wondering has anyone passed a kidney stone and had natural child birth? Which one is worse?

Belly picture 19 weeks 5 days

Here is the first belly picture. Tomorrow will be our 20th week so we are now finally on our down hill slide.

The Best Thing

The best thing about pregnancy so far? The movement. I felt movement for sure the first time in weeks 18/19.

The worst thing about pregnancy? Not feeling movement for two days in a row when you have been feeling it consistently for a week.

I am not completely freaked out by this yet. The movement has been light and we have been busy at home and work so I can see how I may not notice the movement. Yet it is unsettling. I wish I could just sit here (at work) nice and still until something happens.

Here is the picture.

Sorry it is not very clear. It makes me want to go get one of those 3D sonograms but we are trying not to because I'm not sure how safe it is and we need to save money for the lawyer. But you never know.

19 weeks

We had our sono last night. Everything looked fine according to the tech. We are choosing not to determine sex of baby untill birth-it will be a wonderfull surprise. They esitimated our due date a bit earlier based on babys size. Before we would have considered this 19 weeks 1 day. Now considered 19 weeks 3 days. In the grand scheme of things this is not a big difference. It is soooo far away though! We have the sweetest little pic of babes profile. Unfortunetly don't know how to share it. No scanning capability. V may try taking a pic of the pic and posting-we will see how it works. We will have pics up of nursery soon. And belly pics. The belly is getting bigger but doesn't have the true baby bump look yet. This may be due to the fact that I have had the same pot belly my whole life and now it is disguising the baby belly.

falling in love

Gosh where should I start, when we went to C appointment three weeks ago the Doctor was asking all the normal questions and listened to the babies heartbeat. Then she said "maybe I should take a look and make sure there isn't two in there. I haven't had a set of twins for awhile and its about time for someone to have them." Then I said "I hope its not us." I started to panic just a little. She brought the ultrasound in and there it was the most beautiful baby (not babies thank goodness)I have ever seen. It looked like it was sucking on its thumb. We didn't get any pictures this time I think that is done around the 20th week. We are still holding strong about not finding out what the sex of the baby is. I don't care what we have but C's brother has the one year old boy and they just found out that the one on the way is going to be a boy also. He is due to be here in the middle of January. So it would be nice to have a girl so C's dad and grandparents will have a granddaughter. My brother has two kids one girl that is 17 and a boy that is 13 so my side has one of each already. We got C's grandparents moved. They now live about 1 1/2 miles from us. We have been busy helping them with the house and I am sooo happy they are here. C has not been feeling so good and I feel bad there isn't anything I can do to help her. I just hope it goes away soon for her. I miss my happy unsick lady. I love her so much and I cant thank her enough for giving me my own family.
