You Are....

A GIRL!!! Which you've known all along..but surprised mommy so much!! We got to see you on the 4D u/s, it was absolutely amazing..and you are beautiful, and so active. Grandma and Grandpa were there w/daddy and I. It was really cool. You were moving all around and were determined not to show us what you were. But, since mommy's been sick,  I coughed, and that did it!! A girl!! Oh my goodness!! And here you are..

Today is a big day!!

Froggy, today we are having our "big" ultrasound to see if you are a boy or a girl!! Momma really feels like you should let us know, and don't be stubborn (as you have been known to do). We have narrowed down our names and would love to start calling you one or the other. Can't wait to see you!!

Hi Baby!!

Just wanted to check in..I think I felt you move today...But I'm not sure, it's still pretty early for that. Today, mommy had to go see Dr. F because I was feeling really sick..Turns it I have bronchitis and an upper respiratory tract infection...But anyway, we got to hear your HB again..it was 160bpm..And so far, according to the old wives tale, you are a girl!! Anything over 140 supposedly is a girl..and you've been 180, 174, and 160 respectively. We'll find out in 3 days!! Oh my goodness. We are so excited to see you again!! It's been 6 weeks since your last u/s.. Love you!!

14wks5d

Oh, mommy is so bad!! It's been almost 4wks since I did an update..So here we go!!\


How far along? 14wks5d

Maternity clothes? Yes sirree. Dad and I took went to the outlet mall this weekend for the big Labor Day sales and I got 2 pairs of jeans, 1 pair of stretchy black dress pants, and 4 shirts from Motherhood Maternity..and it's funny because it was like you said "oh maternity clothes bought? Bump, OUT!!" Dad said I defn. look pregnant now. Oh good, cause I looked doughy before? =)

Body Oddities? Boobs are HUGE. Almost into an E cup. Oh goodness. Im gonna fall over. LOL. And I'm starting to have trouble sleeping because of side sleeping..Thanks to the belly =) Oh and congestion, lots of it. 2 Benadryl every night and 1 Actifed during the day. Probably til your born.
 
Sleep? Still loving it..but not getting as much as I want due to the 3-4x a night potty breaks and not being able to get completely comfortable. And there have been some days lately that I have *needed* a nap while I've been at work..but no dice.


Best moment this week? The bump making an appearance. It really looks like I'm pregnant. I may look like I'm 6 mos instead of 4, but whatever, I'll take it. And if one.more.person asks how many are in there, they are going to get punched. Seriously. My baby is healthy, back the f up and my doctor thinks my weight on point, and my husband loves the belly, so there

Worst moment? My boobs hurt so bad in the morning. I haven't gotten a "sleep" bra yet, and I didn't realize that it would help. I meant to get one this weekend, but that didn't happen, and I'm paying for it.


Movement? Not that I can feel, or at least, I don't know that I'm feeling it. Some of the momma's on my due date board say they are, but IDK. Dr. F (your OB) said we wouldn't feel it til 18-22wks..But I'm still hoping for earlier =)

Food cravings? Still Lemonade, the carbonated kind. And I had about a gallon of water this week, and it was still nasty and made me feel sick to my stomach. Oh, and Mexican, especially El Rodeo by our house. SO, SO good!!

Rings? Still on, but getting tight. I told DH that it's time to start shopping for my "pregnancy rings." And I'll wear my real ones around my neck, but I don't want to get them stuck on and have to have them cut off at some point.

Gender? 100% think it's a boy, but I've had 4 girl dreams. And we have a boy name, and we LOVE it. Girl names? Can't agree on any!! We find out in 10 days if your a frogger or a froggette!! OMG!!


Intense Dreams? Yes, and sometimes violent, and other times hysterically dumb. I think I am constantly thinking about daddy leaving in 2wks, so I have dreams about how I'm going to defend myself if someone tries to break in..which, I'm not *really* worried about..we live in a very safe neighborhood. So yeah, intense is a good word.

Medical Concerns? Still not able to drink water very well. I have to drink it fast and it has to be ice cold. Still, yuck. My asthma has been out of control, but Dr. F said that was because of my allergies and you getting bigger and pushing on my diaphragm. Probably just gonna stay that way til birth..Already taking my breath away =)


What I miss? Sleeping on my belly..I am so not a side sleeper. I need a snoogle..Dad will have to get me one soon.



What I look forward to: 10 days..we find out if you are a boy or a girl!!! We are so excited!!


Emotional State? Tired, as always, and still cry at the smallest things...the anger is a little more under control, but I still get peeved easily.
