So, today is the first day in several weeks that I actually feel well. I know I didn't mention it before, but I didn't want to sound like I was complaining all the time. I really don't know why I've been feeling bad it's not really one thing or the other I've just been blah or down and out. I've had a headache for the last going on 7 days. And I feel like my baby is going to be a drug addict when it gets here after taking all the meds. Antibiotics, Acidophilus, Vitamins, headache meds... And I am pretty sure the only reason I feel OK today is because I took the headache meds early in the day. But, I'm just taking things one day at a time.
We've kinda decided on a girls name or at least have it narrowed down. As for the boys name, well that is a different story. DH can never say he likes a name I suggest, always has a reason it can't work. lol... finally told him since I pretty much picked out the girls name and he agreed that he should pick out the boys name and I get to agree. That worked for about 2 seconds, lol. He came up with the bright idea that he wasn't going to decide till the baby got here. Hum... I wasn't all that crazy about that idea. :-) But, as luck would have it his family stepped in and somehow he told them that he would have a name by the time we found out if it was a boy or girl. lol.... I think I know what he is going to pick for the first name, but I guess we shall see.
Other than that I'm not really showing much. My pants are starting to ride low, and I can't keep them up... and my cami's are starting to ride up. I've purchased 2 maternity tanks and a pair of yoga pants, but don't really need the pants as of yet. My sweats seem to be doing the trick so far! Love the tanks though, they are really long! My belly is just starting to fill out a bit. I had a little bit of a pooch to begin with, and now the upper tummy is just starting to round out a bit. As for feeling the baby kick... I think I have a coupe of times, but nothing for sure. I did feel a foot a couple days ago. I was poking around a bit to see if I could feel a kick, instead I felt a little hard knot, and the all the sudden it went away. So, I'm pretty sure that was a foot or something :-) DH doesn't like me to poke around on my belly. oops.
In a couple of weeks we are heading down to DH's fam. Very excited about the visit. Doc has even approved the drive! Still hoping that we will be able to head to my fam in TX come July... some say it is wishful thinking but I am very hopeful!
Well, I've got stuff to do to day... Sorry for taking so long to update, hopefully updates will be more time appropriate in the future! Loves to All!

Well, Our appointment today day went well. I do have an infection of the cervix and they have put me on a stronger antibiotic. So, hopefully everything will clear up! I haven't had any problems since the last visit so things are looking up. I did have a migraine last week that really kicked my bum. The Doc gave me some meds to take that are stronger than just Tylenol. Really hoping that that helps! Other than that we did the blood work today to check for the spina bifida. We have our next appointment set for May 5th and hopefully we will be able to find out if our little Nibbler is a boy or a girl! No U/S today, Next time!

Well, we had some issues again this morning... and we ended up in another emergency visit to the doctors office. They got us in and tried to find the baby's heart beat with a doppler and all they could find was my heart beat... We got really scared when they rushed us into the U/S room. Tech put the probe on my tummy and immediately Nibbler started kicking and squirming! Such a relief! Little One is doing great! They put me on some antibiotics just to be on the safe side. And I already have an appointment for 2 weeks from now, so they will check everything again then. They did take some cultures and then tried the cauterize my cervix to stop the bleeding. I've been told to stay off my feet again for any extended length of time. Fun Stuff! But most importantly baby is doing good and the bleeding isn't from the uterus it's from the cervix itself.
Baby Nibbler gave the tech a little trouble again :-) But, to start off little ones back was to us so we got to see the spine and all the little ribs. Nibbler has turned over and was laying like I did/do. Curled up on it's tummy with its hand under it's face :-) And the baby's face was amazing!

My family arrived in MA from Tx yesterday! I got to go out and spend the some time with them. Mom and I went shopping at a mall looking for some stuff that they needed for the "cold weather" and some food supplies. Had a great time with mom, and the kids will start their snowboarding lessons tomorrow! Had to come back to day for a meeting at work and the last couple of days I've been spotting but it's been brown. Doc says as long as it isn't red or
pink all is well. But, today as I was getting ready to head home, I noticed the spotting started to turn pink/red. So on the drive home I called the Doc and they wanted to see me right way. Needless to say I got a bit scared. DH picked me up from the house and went straight into the office. It took a while to get me in but they did. Baby is doing well, they put me back on the progesterone. Hopefully this will help solve the issue!

Well, I have in my notes that we've had more Ultra Sounds than I can remember, So my notes
are probably a little off... But we did have and appointment an more pics take on the 9th :-)
They took a lot today! And even surprised us with a 3D image! We had already been discussing the fact that we would love to have it done, but couldn't find anywhere that was local. Then The U/S tech popped it up on the screen unexpectedly and amazing! We have a little allien! Lol Big surprise there we are already calling it Nibbler!
Also, on the amazing side Nibbler was kicking up a storm! The Tech also gave us a little 5 second clip of our baby kicking! It truly brought tears to my eyes. Little One also didn't want to sit still for us today. The Tech is beginning to have a love had relationship with Nibbler. Nibbler always seems to be on the move... sounds a little like my sister W...

And our sit down with the Doc went well. We have decided to turn down some of the genetic testing. The one we have turned down was for the downs syndrome. We really don't see how that will effect our pregnancy if the baby does or doesn't have it. We will love and cherish the baby no matter what the outcome. We did on the other hand decide that the testing for spina bifida was something we were interested in. Technology has come a long way and I know that
if the test comes back positive there could be a chance of fixing the issue. So, we are a go for that one. Other than that all is well :-D
