Lookie Lookie

I had my ultrasound done, June 23rd, and I was 10w5d - and had ONE healthy little boy/girl.  The doctor surprised me and switched to 3D/4D for the ultrasound, and it was just amazing how much I could see of the baby (and he/she was only about 2 inches long)!   Arms, Legs, Fingers, Eye sockets, etc.  So amazing.  God has truly blessed us.  Can't wait until August when we find out if 'she' is really a 'she' like I'm thinking!

Wrong

Just wrong.

Yesterday was the day for my first ultrasound.  I had been counting down for weeks.  Then the doctor’s office called, and the a/c was broken in the office, so they had to reschedule.  Sadness.  My ultrasound is now scheduled for next Wednesday.  Only a week, I know, but I was so excited.  So I wait. 

In the meantime, I thought I would share this…this was when I ‘met’ Peyton for the first time… I was going to show the first ultrasound picture, but apparently I don't have those digitally - so that is on my todo list - to get them out of his 'baby box' and scan them.  I thought that I had before, but I can't find them at the moment.  So these pictures were taken the very first time I held Peyton...

Wow, what a week

This last week has been a blur, and I honestly don't know how on earth I made it.  I've been sick, fighting bronchitis, and tired, from the baby, and then on top of all that, we had VBS at church this week, and I was teaching the Kindergarten class.  Um, tired isn't the word.  I've been so completely exhausted, I've barely made it out of bed for more than a few hours all weekend.  But that is ok.  I'm feeling better at the moment so hopefully this week will be a good one.

Maybe I can even fit in a bit of scrapbooking at some point next week.  I need that!!!

And I need to make some lists of the millions of things in my head!  The million things that I haven't had time or energy (well mostly energy) to do.  My house looks like a wreck, we did do family clean up time on Saturday and that helped, but um, with the 3 year old, the living room already looks as bad as it did yesterday.  Yeah!  How can a kid make a worse mess in 3 hrs than he did in approximately 2 full weeks?????  He is going to have to learn to start playing in the playroom.

Eric passed all his classes this quarter. One more day of school then he is off for almost 3 weeks.  That is going to be a nice 3 weeks for us all!!!  Does this mean I have to start cooking again?

My garden needs to be harvested so bad.  I hope this last week hasn't killed/destroyed the garden.  I have to get out there.  Like, NOW!

Our pool is hot!!!  It feels like a sauna.  It wasn't supposed to be this way.  Didn't expect that.  Hello, pool = refreshing right????  I think it might have too much salt in it.  Sigh.

Oh, and Don't let me forget that i need to pay the bills. 

Glad VBS is over.  Sad that I don't have a week to play catch up before real life starts all over again.

Here's to the last few hours of the weekend!  I'm gonna go float around in my pool hot tub!!! 

Two weeks

Well, I didn't get to hear the heartbeat on wednesday. They don't start checking that until around week 12 and I'm only 8 wks. One good thing os that they moved up my first ultrasound a week, so it is only 2 weeks away!!!! And considering that next week is vbs I know that it will go really quickly.

As of yesterday it has been 4 wks since I found out I was pregnant!!! In some ways it has flown by, and in others it has crept ( like when I feel sick). Kinda hope the next 32 or so weeks go fast , but I want to cherish this as much as possible because I'm pretty sure this could be the last baby we have!

Dreaming of Baby Room's Already

I think one of the best parts of expecting a baby, is dreaming/planning the baby's room.  Below is a picture of Peyton's room.

And here are a few layouts combinations of the room I'm envisioning for the baby. 

And I think this layout below is probably going to be the winner.  I really want to try to fit a twin bed and baby bed in the room, so I might forgo the changing table/dresser and use the built in desk for that.  (my scrapbooking built in desk, oh it is going to be so sad not having my scrapbook area!!!)

Used an online tool for this, so you can't really tell what is what, and this isn't what my furniture looks like, but you get the general idea.  :)

Oh, just can't wait to find out if it is a boy or a girl so I can REALLY start looking and planning.

So Sick

Ok, all I can say is that this baby better be a little girl causing me to be this sick. Each day has been different and so far this week has been much better than last, but I think the medicine I'm taking os to thank for that. Last thursday and Friday o couldn't keep anything down, so they had to call me in some great meds that I'm very thankful for!!!!!!!

First real doctors appointment is tomorrow, and I can't wait to hear that little heartbeat!!!!!
