This is our official due date! Everything went well at the appt. We did not get too hear the heartbeat, she said it was to early, but in 4 weeks we will. We don't get any ultrasounds except the one at 20 weeks to determine the sex. I was hoping they would do something else today, but she said that my uterus felt the size it should be, so I guess that means everything is going well! I had to have blood drawn, 4 tubes, and supply a urine sample, which took me forever!

We are doing well! I still feel pretty good. I just feel nauseas every once in a while, but if I eat I am ok. The babies like this mild weather! Abby had to go to the dr. Monday because she had a torn nail. It was barely hanging on, but when Dr. Donna pulled it off, you would have thought she was cutting her foot off!! She is fine now though!

That's it for now!

I think it's official

The morning sickness has set in, except it seems more like all day sickness. I have not actually gotten sick, but I feel sick almost all the time. If I eat, it seems to help for a short amount of time, but then the return of the nausea comes back. Oh well, I know the end result will be worth it!

We traveled back to TN over the weekend. It was a nice visit back. I got to spend all day Friday with my grandparents, unfortunately in the hospital, but they enjoyed it. Saturday we went to one of Aaron's former co-workers weddings. It was beautiful and it was nice to get to see some of his former co-workers. Sunday we went and had breakfast with his parents, sister, BIL, and nephew. It was nice getting to see all of them too.

That is about it for now! We have our first appointment on Friday, so we are both looking forward to that. We should get to hear the heartbeat and maybe get a sneak peak through ultrasound!

Strollers

Why in the world are strollers so expensive? Aaron and I have been researching them to find out what are the best, and boy can they get pricey! We are also doing our research on carseats, and who knew they could cost so much! I want our baby to be safe, so I don't mind not buying the cheapest thing you can find, but why would you pay over $1,000 for a stroller? When I first saw this stroller I thought it was so awesome looking, but then I saw the price tag ($1100) that came with it, and changed my mind quickly!

So, Britax is supposed to be one of the safest car seats you can by for an infant or toddler. I always planned to get a Britax toddler seat because I have always read such high reviews about them. I found this travel system that is made by Britax and has really good reviews, so this is what I am leaning towards.
For the stroller you can make the baby face towards you when they are small and then turn the seat around so they can see when they get bigger.

I guess we will see what else I find by then!

Am I really pregnant

I thought I was supposed to feel crappy, but I am the complete opposite, besides being lazy! =) That has to be the most popular question when I tell someone I am pregnant, "How are you feeling?" Luckily, my response is always, "Good"! I still get bloated, get tired, and my sniffer works like no other! When I smell some stuff I feel like I could vomit immediately! Pasta sauces smell so disgusting to me, and I love pasta! Onions are really bad. One thing I can't figure out with this baby is that I don't crave sweets at all! If you know me, you know I LOVE sweets! I could go all day without eating anything sweet, so crazy! I don't know who this baby got that after! I have still been baking stuff for Aaron, so of course I have to eat it!
Oh, it is not the baby anymore, it is our little dinosaur! When Aaron first saw the pictures of what the baby looked like at this stage he said to me "What is that thing, it looks like a dinosaur!" We also call it the dinosaur so Abby can still be the baby!
I told everyone at work. They were all excited, but surprised! I would have preferred to wait, but I can't be around x-ray's, cat poop, or birds, so I thought I needed to tell them. They also told me that it is going to be a boy, because that is all everyone has there! I guess we will see if we can throw a little girl in the mix, or add to the little boys!
That's about it for now!

Still feel great

Every time I talk to some one, they ask how I am feeling and I am always happy to say that I still feel great! My only symptoms are having to pee more and being bloated. By the end of the day my belly sticks out so much you would think I should be farther than 7 weeks! I weighed myself and I have actually lost weight! I am thinking I am one of the lucky one's that doesn't get morning sickness. I was reading that if you haven't felt it by 6 weeks, then you are probably not got to have it. I hope this is true! I made it a week without telling anyone at work. I am surprised I was able to since there is alot I can't do things there now, like take x-rays. Yesterday someone said they were waiting on me to take some x-rays, but I just kept avoiding them and got out of it! I would like to make it to my appointment before I tell them, but I don't know if I can make it another 2 weeks.

Thats about all there is to report at this time!

Take your guess

I thought this would be fun! Go to this website and guess when you think the baby will be born, gender, weight, and length.

Fun, fun.....

Baby Gender Predictor

Yes it's true.....

we are having a baby!!! I was totally not expecting to see pregnant pop up on the HPT. I am very excited and we can't wait to meet our little sweetheart in February.

I will try to keep everyone updated through this blog with my growing belly, ultrasound pictures, and any other fun facts!

I go for my first appointment on June 27 at 7:45 am. I will be almost 8 weeks by then, so maybe they will give us a sneak peak of the little sweetheart! According to some online calculators I am due on Feb. 6th, almost on it's great-grandfathers birthday! I feel great, just tired. I like my sleep anyway, so that could just be me. Maybe I will be one of the lucky ones that doesn't get morning sickness, but I'll take it for the end result!

We have been telling the babies that they are getting a little brother or sister and they don't know what to think about that. Emma has been super clingy to me ever since we have been telling them that, like she is saying please don't bring another one home! We think that Emma will be a little mama. Who knows though!
