Movement part 2

So on Sunday night the 18th I was in the bath tub and the baby moved. this is a fairly common thing by now but I thought I seen my belly move on the outside. I poked the spot where I thought I noticed movement unsure if it was just wishful thinking and she kicked again. OMG she is finally big enough to see her movements. They are still far and few between that I can see them but almost every night in the bath I see it at least once. It is the most amazing feeling. Lots of women say that at this point in the pregnancy you start to wish it was over cause you are just tired of being pregnant well not me. I do wish May was here but not because I do not want to be pregnant but because I can not wait to meet my little girl. Nya has already changed her father and I so much. I can not wait to see her little face and hold her little hand.

Movement

So I have been complaining about not being able to feel her move yet and I guess she heard me this morning cause I was sitting at work and there it was. Only once so I hope it becomes more frequent but at least she is moving. I am so in love with my family. Brad has changed into a man I never could have imagined. I knew he would be supportive but never thought it would be this great. Our little girl is just a miracle and we are so blessed to have her. I am so excited about May and then our trip to Texas in June for everyone to see her.

2008

We are ringing in the New Year by ourselves. We decided as our last New Years alone we would stay at home and enjoy the festivities from our nice warm calm house. I am very excited about it cause it means that 2008 (One of the worst years ever in my life and at my work) is over and we are that much closer to holding our little girl in our arms. It has been a rough year for our family and for some of our friends. We will never forget the ones we have lost but right now we are looking forward to the new life God has given us. God bless and keep each of you safe on a very dangerous night. We love you!

Nya Mechele

Nya Mechele
So we went in on Christmas Eve and had our ultrasound and we are having a little GIRL!!!! I was shocked and scared but Brad is happy. He says little girls are so much cuter than little boys. We had already picked out names for both so we did not have to worry about doing all that afterward. Her name is Nya Mechele. She weighs 8 oz and the doctor said she could not be more perfect. There was nothing that could have gone any better. She was moving up a storm and I can not wait to be able to feel all her little movements. I think Brad is a lot more involved now that her was there to see her. He said it was better than seeing the pictures since they are often hard to tell what you are looking at but the ultrasound tech was explaining every little detail. We got it on DVD for our parents to see since they wanted to go but couldn't and he has been showing off the video and pics. He is even planning to design Nya a website when she is born to post all her pics and videos (since we got a camcorder for Christmas) so that all of our family that are out of town can watch "his little girl" grow. Well I gotta go shopping for girl stuff since all I have is boy.

12/16 Doc appointment.

Doctors appointment today
Well I called this morning to talk to the nurse about how I have been feeling and she said I needed to be seen today. Mel took me in like the good sister she is and we found out a few things.
1) my blood presure is good
2) my Iron is a little low so I have to take some iron supplements
3) My blood sugar was really low at 72. They said it needs to be at least 100.
This explains why I have been so tired. Now I have to go from eating every 2-3 hours to every 1-2 and eating more protein and fruits. Even when I am not hungry. Oh and the 5lbs I reported gaining at the last appointment well in the last 6 days I have lost it all. Luckily Betsey said she was not going to yell at me since I was under enough stress but I had to start eating.
I should have known that any child of mine would be causeing problems this early. lol But I love it all the same.

So I went to see the new OB today. I got to hear my little ones heart beat at 148. Wow I wish I could feel it moving but as of yet there is nothing. Oh well the big anatomy scan where they check all the organs as well as the sex of the baby will be done on Christmas Eve morning. I do not even care about Christmas right now I just want it to get here so I can have the u/s. I can not belive that this is really real. It is amazing. Every time I look at my growing belly I think about the little baby that is there and hope I am doig everything right to make it happy while it is inside me. I will update everyone in 2 weeks!

So we are 14 weeks pregnant. Entering into the 15th week has me feeling very impatient to meet my child. I know that I do not want to meet him or her early I just want the remaining months to pass by quickly. My morning sickness has mostly faded but it seems that I still have a very upset tummy not nausea more like all the sudden upsets. I guess with all the stomach problems I have I should have known I would have problems. I have a doplar thanks to my friend Brooke and it has been great to get to hear my little ones heart beating away inside me while I am resting in my bed instead of on a table at the doctors office. So I have so much to be thankful for this thanksgiving and can not wait till Christmas when we find out what we are having. My next appointment is on December 5th and then we will know the exact date for my big U/S which will be sometime the week of Christmas.

Baby appointment 11 weeks

Baby appointment 11 weeks
So we went in at 11 weeks 2 days for our appointment and the doc said the baby is growing great and the heart is strong. He told me we were officially as out of the woods as we would get of a miscarriage and if the baby cooperates we will know the sex the week of Christmas. I go in for my next appointment on December 5th. So wish me luck ..ing the second trimester on Wednesday and I will keep everyone posted! Oh and Brad has nicknamed the baby "Beanie". Thanks for all the prayers and support that has gotten me this far.

This is the second Ultra sound done. They were able to get the heart beat and everything this time. This is at 7 weeks 2 days.
