5 Months and Counting....

As I set here waiting for the Misses to finish her orientation for her new work at home gig, I have time to reflect and write a bit. I was going to write a blog about the new chinese spot we ate at the other day for my blog Twice As Good but decide that I'd write one for the baby blog, seeing as I'm sure she would like to read them as she gets older and well because I have slacked off from writing for awhile.

Let's see what's new well first off ITS A GIRL, I can't say that enough. She has an amazing name already combinding something old and new. We are both super happy about all the pink and dainty things ahead in our future and it should be great for the next 13 years at least then I will have boys to worry about well they will have me to worry about too, but I.....well me and my 2 sons will cross that bridge when time comes.

For now its princess this, and sugar that and let's see how tight she can wrap me around her finger. I'm getting excited to meet her, we have already got the baby book started, and bought a few outfits, couple of hand knitted booties, but not one single toy. I'm so torn on what I want her first toy to be its starting to bother me, but I still have some time about 4.5 months to be exact.

We have finished the invites to "Baby-Ween" our halloween inspire costume baby shower and party. The food list is about done as are the games and all the fun things surrounding that. We are going to take a tour of the hospital soon along with some classes which should be a good time.

I've started planning our BabyMoon, a little get away for me and the misses before our little bundle of sleep-stealing-no-mommy-daddy-time-diaper-changing
-joy comes... I'm thinking D.C. If the price is right, just gotta make sure all the baby stuff is bought and theirs plenty of funds left over. If not then its south florida for a weekend, something is better than nothing.......right?

Well as the Blackberry just alerted me the battery is about dead, so in conclusion ITS A GIRL with an awesome name picked out, Baby-Ween is a must attend event for this October, Help me with first toy ideas, ??Donate to the Babymoon fund??, and did I mention ITS A GIRL....

I leave you with an updated picture of the Misses and her bump, already into her 5th month!!!

Thanks for reading my rambles!

It's a Girl.......

We went to the doctors July 19th to make sure everything was good and to find out what we were having. We get into the sono room and she immediately asks us if we want to know the sex. She starts checking my cervix to make sure everything is good then moves on to find out what we were having. After a few pokes on the belly the baby finally moved enough for us to see there was no penis and we asked her like 2-3 times to make sure it was a girl and she confirmed it...... We are having a baby GIRL.....

It will be nice to have a girl bc we already have 2 wonderful boys around the house and now she will have older brothers to protect her. We were so excited when we found out it was a girl. Now we get to start our registry and find so many cute girl things.

 Our friend Alyssa and my husband are putting together a Baby-Ween shower/halloween party. They just put the deposit down for the club house they are using..... I am sooooooo excited!!

Sick, Sick, Sick......

Well I have been sick for a few days now and it is so hard to get over being sick when you are limited on what you can take, 1/2 Tylenol for the headache/head pressure and Vick's vapor rub for the coughing and the stuffy nose..... Well its been like 3 days and I'm starting to feel better, at least my throat isn't hurting anymore.... I hate that the most, I will take the stuffiness and head congestion over a sore throat any day. My wonderful husband has been there taking care of me even though he is sick himself. Today is the first day he went back to work so I'm going to take it easy and watch movies with the boys.

So a couple days back I was so congested and my husband suggested I go and take a nice warm bath so I was running my bath and realized we ran out of bath salts and bubbles.... then low and behold I found some mocha bath salts my mom gave me a long time ago. So I poured them in as the water ran and the little bit I could smell filled the room of mocha goodness.... After the tub filled I decided to get in and lay down and chill and as I was lying there I had this weird feeling in my stomach. I didn't think much of it maybe gas but then it happened again and I realized it wasn't gas it was the flutter of our baby moving in my belly... So at 13 weeks I felt fluttering of our little peanut. I immediately told my husband and he thought I was joking but I assured him I was not. Of course I have not felt the baby move since then but I have been keeping a feel out for that little movement.

Well we have a Doctor's appt July 19th for them to measure my cervical length and to let us know what we are having, oh and we will be getting the test results to the tests they performed at the last visit.

Babies 2nd Pics.....

So I went to the Doctor on the 21st and so far the tests are good, nothing to be worried about. We did get to see our little peanut again. She/he has flipped over to the other side and is growing perfectly and the heart rate is 165 bpm this time. We will get to find out what we are having on July 19th and we are so excited...... We are praying for a happy healthy baby girl but we will be happy as long as the baby is happy and healthy.

I will be in my 2nd trimester next Mon (6/27) and I will be 13 weeks.

 

Looks like the baby is chilling with hands behind her/his head.

I'm feeling much better. I can now do things like walk for a good amount of time and drink oj without feeling blah or overly tired.

So we went to a friends wedding last weekend and it was nice, hot but nice. They had a beach wedding in Sarasota Florida. I bought a cute little pink dress that shoed off my baby bump nice and I promised pics so here they are.....

Feeling better......

Well I only have 1 more week until the first trimester is over. I am starting to feel better, my nausea has gone away some but still comes and goes and I can drink oj again..... Yay! I go back to the dr next Tuesday (6/21) for some important tests, hope all comes out good.

I have a baby bump showing and I started doing maternity shopping and came across some really cute stuff. I have a wedding I'm going to Sat (6/18) and found this pretty pink dress that looks great with my baby bump.

So be on the look out for new pictures. I was so excited to see our little peanut last week. Cravings are getting stronger, but the Hubby is good at keeping them satisfied and bringing my home a special yummy surprise every night. Well time to go make some dinner for the boys in my life.

Babies 1st pics......

Well we went to our first Doctors appointment yesterday, and we found out everything looks healthy and normal. I (the husband) also went for a nuclear stress test and everything came back fine too, still searching for the cause of my chest pains. Besides that though it was a happy day, we got to hear our babies heart beat (like a techno song) at 175 beats per minute. Which was amazing, can’t wait to go back and see the progress. We go every 4 weeks now and we switch a week every Monday so she (the wife) is now 10 weeks 1 day, and our due date is officially 1/1/2012 now to make sure we deliver seconds after midnight on new years is my plan. I know I have no control over it, that’s all in our Lords hands but me being as competitive as I am I'm aiming for the first baby born in Tampa if not the whole USA and who knows maybe even take over the world isn’t that right Pinky!!

Thanks for your time...

Ugh.....

I'm so puky, nauseated, and so bloated. I can't wait until the first trimester to over. I'm having such weird and vivid dreams. My youngest son told me he had a dream of a baby sister and he was blowing on her belly, I almost cried (yes I'm emotional as well).

I have found just about everything we are wanting to purchase/put on the baby registry, the only thing I'm having a problem with deciding on buying is a diaper bag. If anyone has any thoughts on a diaper bag please feel free to leave a comment. I'm looking for something that is big, lots of pockets, and comes with extras like a big changing pad, and bottle holder to keep the milk cool.

My first dr appt is Mon (and I will be about 10 weeks) and we are all excited. The boys keep asking if they can feel the baby move and I keep telling them not yet. So hopefully seeing the ultrasound and listening to the heart beat will be enough for them right now.
