This is the 4d pic of the baby. He/she had their face stuffed and squished inside so it's very distorted, but you can see the cheek and the mouth open. We saw the baby take a drink, and breathe with his/her lungs, pretty amazing!! The next pic will be of the baby!!

Baby H is on his/her way....

Well today we had an ultrasound to measure the baby, the baby's head, and see what our best options were. The baby looked great, i will post a pic soon of the ultrasound. We saw and felt the baby breathing, which i didn't know, but they said they don't breathe with their lungs all the time, so that was interesting. And we also saw the baby taking drinks of the amniotic fluid, that was amazing! The doctor checked and could feel the head descended, that was encouraging! OUr baby is five pounds right now. BUt we are at a stand still. WE were hoping that we would know for certain today if I had to go c section or not. The good news is that the head is descended a lot more then we thought it would. But we are still not certain vaginal delivery is the safest. So, we are still trying to make the right decision! So pray for us!!

33.5 weeks (gotta get that .5 in)

We had a breastfeeding class last night, it was soooo informative! I also was a little overwhelmed, just because I'm thinking "how will i know what to do!" But i'm so glad we went. Our teacher said some really neat things about dads. She was saying how important dads are to the baby, and how the baby needs their dad, and I was so thankful she said that. Jon appreciated it too. This little baby moves so much now, and i looooooove it. It is so fun to feel a foot, or an arm, or something! We have our last two week appointment in two weeks, then we go to every week. Last night Jon and i went out for soup before dinner, and i said, well we will know for sure in four weeks if i will have to have a c section or not, and we both just looked at eachother like, oh boy, then we are parents, very terrified looks on our faces, then we just bust out laughing at eachother! It was funny. =) So i've been interested, how many of you think it's a boy, and how many of you think it's a girl? It's been fun to hear what and why people think i'm having what. =)

31 weeks, and feet!

Today i felt a foot i think on my right side!! IT was so neat, and little, it could have been a hand, but it was so neat. When i touched where the "foot" was, the baby moved away. It's amazing to feel this baby move all the time. Jon FINALLY felt the baby move at church the other day, he was excited!
I had a little scare, i had this very odd pain in my leg, that had some swelling. So everyone was worried that it was a blood clot. Well, then the pain got worse and worse, and i had to go home and elevate my leg. Well the next day there was this massive bruise there, and apparently i had snapped a vein in my leg. Good times! Who knew you could snap veins! But thankfully everything was ok!

30 weeks!

It's amazing to think that we are 30 weeks already. It feels like it go's fast and slow. Our doctors appointment went well. The baby was breech the last time, and this time the baby wasn't. The doctor said that was normal. Our normal doctor was gone so we had to see Dr. Ezell. He was so fun!! He walked in with this ooooold looking boxy machine thing. It was the little sound thing they use to hear the baby's heart beat. It was so cute, it was so old. He said now, can you hear that baby's heart beat really well? I said yeah. He said great, now you have to tell your doctor that even though it's a dinosaur, it sure works better!! Because he keeps making fun of my box! It was too cute!!

I can feel the baby moving alot!! I felt the baby having hiccups the other day that was lots of fun ! Jon still hasn't felt the baby move yet, he's getting sad! I told him it's just because the baby is playing games with him, like peekaboo! =) He doesn't believe me, lol.
WE are now going to appointments every two weeks, and then in April it will be every week. And then peanut is due!! yay!

WEEK 26

Today was the wonderful dr appointment where you drink that sugary stuff and then pee on a stick to check protein, and take blood for gestational diabeties, good times. LOL. Anyhow, i'm 2/3 of the way down the road of delivering this baby, pretty excited!! Everything seemed great, the baby has really started kicking and moving alot, and I LOOOOOOOOVE to feel that. Jon still hasnt' been able to feel it, i can't wait until he can. HE put together our crib, and "boob chair" last week. =) We are picking out the rest of the stuff soon. I have been quite blessed!

25 Weeks

Hello everyone.

We are doing well. Peanut is moving alot, it's fun to feel. We still aren't finding out the sex, although, Jon was listening closely, lol. We are starting the nursery progress. I"m all excited to see it all done, even if it is way early. This week i realized how thankful i am to have had such a great pregnancy so far. I am hearing sad stories of women who have lost their baby's early, and one who had her baby at 25 weeks, and he's fighting to stay alive. It just makes me sad, so it makes me count my blessings. So if you think of these women this week, say a prayer for them!
