Happy Birthday to me!

Since it is my birthday today and no one else in the house has wished me a happy birthday, yet, I thought I would say it to myself! I am now officially 29 years old. With us having 2 church services today, we won't be able to celebrate much, so maybe we can do something special when we go on vacation in a couple of weeks. As long as Anthony and Caleb tell me they love me, I'll have everything I need for my birthday!

Dr. Visit Update

****Edited to correct the date of the ultrasound. It's October 7th, not the 6th. I guess we'll just have to wait one more day.****


So, I had to go back to the doctor today to follow up on the dehydration issue. I am good to go! I did not have any ketones in my urine (sorry if TMI!) so I am not at risk to become dehydrated again at this time. I still have to keep a check on it, but for now I'm good. I do have to go back in 2 weeks to make sure I am still gaining weight. I gained 5 pounds over the last 2 weeks. Then, 6 weeks from today on October 6th, we will find out the sex of this little bean! As I have already stated before, lots of folks are thinking girl, so we'll see. If it is a girl, she'll be spoiled rotten by my family as she'll be the first granddaughter for my parents and the first great-granddaughter for my Grandma. So, let the countdown begin!

Exciting Times Ahead!

We have a few exciting things coming up in the next month or so.

My birthday is coming up on the 30th. I'll be 29. This will be my last year in my 20s. People have asked me if it bothers me that I'll be 30. Absolutely not! What's the big deal? Age is just a number. I'm thankful that the Lord has let me live this long, so I will gladly celebrate!

We are going on a much deserved/needed vacation 3 weeks from today! We're very excited and are ready for a break. We're going to Fort Myers Beach, FL. We have decided to fly down there so this should be an interesting trip as Caleb and Anthony have never flown before. Hopefully, they won't freak out on me while in the air.

While we're there, we're going to drive up to Tampa and go to Busch Gardens. We've never been there, but think Caleb would enjoy seeing the animals and stuff. I plan on taking lots of pictures and will post them for all to see once we get back.

After we get back from vacation, we should be scheduling our appointment to find out the sex of the baby! I'm very excited to find out what this little stinker is! Everyone seems to think it's a girl, so we'll see if they're all right!

Ultrasound Pictures

I had another doctor's appointment on Wednesday of this week and they did an ultrasound. I took my mom with me because Anthony couldn't get off work to go. We heard the heartbeat, which was 160 beats per minute. The baby measured 5.5cm long and is looking good! I can't wait until the ultrasound where we find out the sex!

Could this be the end?

So, I am now 12 weeks and 2 days pregnant and am wondering if the end of my "all-day sickness" has arrived. I am slowly starting to feel a lot better and am now able to eat more and keep it down. Praise the Lord for that! I was really getting tired of chicken noodle soup and baked potatoes!

I have another doctor's appointment today. This is the one where they will do an ultrasound to check for any birth defects. I'm thankful to be able to see the baby again and hope that he/she is doing well. Keep us in your prayers that everything will come back okay.

Pregnancy Update

Today, I am 11 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Almost out of the first trimester! WHOO-HOO! This first trimester has really been a struggle for me. I have not felt well at all during the entire time I've been pregnant. I went back to the doctor on Monday because I was afraid I was getting dehydrated again. She signed me out of work again this week and wants me to rest. She also told me to eat mostly chicken noodle soup (which to have for almost every meal is not fun!), eat popsicles, drink water, etc. So, that's what I am trying to do. I ask for your prayers as I really want to feel better and be able to function.
