It's a....GIRL!!!

Today we found out that we're having a little girl!!! We went for the ultrasound at 16 weeks! Robby, Jenessa, mom and dad were all there and it was an awesome experience to share with them! She kept moving around and kicking...didn't want to cooperate so much....she mostly stayed on the position on her knees with her legs crossed, but she let us get a few peaks-atleast we were able to tell she is a girl!!!
Me and Jenessa of course had to go clothes shopping and buy the baby girl some clothes! I think Jenessa enjoyed it just as much as I did!!!

Sick day!

Had to stay home with Jenessa today...this is the very first day she has EVER missed of school since she started Kindergarten! She woke me up this morning at 12:30 AM running a fever, chilling all over, sick at her stomach, coughing, etc...so after I got some Tylenol and a bite of food in her we watched The Karate Kid, she dozed off, when she woke up we had to watch Bedtime Stories (with Adam Sandler in it), it was an all night/all day thing. Not used to her being sick because she is never sick like that! She wanted "mommy" to stay home with her. By the end of the day she said, I just love you so much and love that you let me eat popsicles all day! (love her heart!)
I hate that she was so sick and am so glad her fever finally broke but we got to spend some quality time together watching so many of her favorite movies and cuddling. (oh and eating popsicles!)

Pedis

Today, Jenessa and I are going to get pedicures! It is definitely flip flop weather and I need one so bad! On another note, I love the way that Jenessa is with "the baby in my belly" she likes to rub my belly and talk to the baby (she thinks the only way baby can hear is if she talks through my belly button) it is so cute. She keeps saying that she can't wait for her baby brother or sister to come out so she can hold it.
We have already scheduled birthing classes, sibling class and even baby shower in June. We are doing our maternity pictures in May (I don't want to wait until I'm huge and have the 'mask of pregnancy') I have a hunch that baby Junior will make their appearance some time in August (hopefully at the end)
Still hoping baby will cooperate with us next Friday so we can find out team pink or team blue!!!! This is one of the most exciting days and I just can't wait!

15 weeks!

I'm a little behind on here! I'm so excited about my 16 week dr appt on Wednesday, everything is progressing well so far! I have gained 3 lbs and lost them again which is ok with the dr right now because the baby is just growing and growing! I had a crazy rash on my face Tuesday so the on call OB dr sent me to the ER to be sure it wasn't anything that could affect baby Junior. (That whole experience is a story in itself!) Everything is going great, no one knows what the rash is caused from but pretty sure it isn't affecting baby. Just to be sure because he/she hadn't seemed as active the past few days we did a quick ultrasound at work. I told the tech "Now I promised my husband that I wouldn't find out what the baby is unless he is with me so if by chance you can, DO NOT tell me!" She said "Well, I couldn't tell if I wanted to!" and turned the screen around to me...he/she was sitting on its bottom with its legs crossed punching everywhich way! It was so cute! We were dying laughing!
Hopefully we get to find out boy or girl on Friday! I'm so excited!! (So is Robby and Jenessa!!!) I can't wait to get started on the nursery!

12 weeks down!

We have taken to calling the baby "baby Junior" (no I'm not really naming the kid that!) Here is the newest picture of him/or her. This is from our 12 week visit where they check for neural tube defects and all of that, do lots of blood work, etc. Everything turned out just fine so far! I have had morning sickness all the way up to week 12! So thankful that is over with for the most part!
When I woke up the other morning and tried to put my scrubs on, they wouldn't fit anymore! I tried 3 or 4 shirts on and NONE of them would go over my belly!!! It was like it "popped" over night!! I'm enjoying the belly so far although it does seem to get in the way sometimes! (I know, the best is yet to come! ha ha)

Almost finished with the first one!

I went to the OB dr today for my horrible cold/cough and we were able to pick up the baby's heartbeat with the doppler. It was so exciting! (especially since the dr said the heartbeat usually can't be picked up with doppler until 15-16 weeks) We didn't get to hear the heartbeat on the first ultrasound only see it (I didn't have the best ultrasound tech). I have had a LOT of morning sickness, mid day sickness and night sickness too (ha ha). We're nearing the end of the first trimester so hopefully the sickness will get a little better.
We go back next Friday for 12 week ultrasound, some blood work and all that good stuff! I just can't wait to find out what we're having for sure so I can start buying more things! We already have a baby bed thanks to Granny Tammy (my momma) and the Chicco keyfit travel system we were wanting thanks to Papaw Tony (my daddy). We're just so excited about this baby! Although I've had some unpleasant pregnancy symptoms I'm still trying to enjoy it more than anything! We're so blessed!!!

Oh baby, baby!

I am HORRIBLE at blogging! I keep forgetting to post on here, then my computer messed up...I finally got a new one!
I have new news since the last time I posted on here! We're having a baby!! I am only 10 weeks now...we are soooo excited!! I almost think Jenessa was more excited than us when we first found out! She was jumping up and down wanting to call everyone too! We're so excited about this new adventure in our lives and can't wait to find out what we're having! I am so impatient that we finally tried the wedding band on a thread thing (hey, the little old ladies I know swear by it!) according to the old wives tale, we are having a boy...we don't really care what we're having either as long as it gets here and is healthy but we're still just dying to know one way or the other! Can't wait to start decorating the nursery! We already have a baby bed and have picked a bunch of things out that would go either way but I'm trying not to get ahead of myself...
I have always wanted a baby more than anything and just can't contain my excitement! :) Neither can my parents! They're sooo excited about having a "grandbaby." I will try to keep everyone updated!
