Dr appt/Birthing class

I had another dr appt today! It went well....I have been having a lot of headaches lately though so I was kind of concerned about that. However, everything is checking out fine...my blood pressure is great: 120 over 70...no protein in my urine,...sorry if TMI, my feet are swollen but not my legs so that is good...and I am measuring fine and Drew's heartbeat is good, in the 130s :) So..thank the Lord everything is going fine and Drew is doing well.

We had our first birthing class tonight! Haha, what an experience... it was entitled "The Birthing Experience" and I will not put details on here in case people are grossed out but if you wanna know about it, I will gladly tell you about it cuz I want to so message me! haha or I will prolly volunteer the info when/if I talk to you haha

Please pray for my headaches...I am getting them a lot and they are really annoying :( Thank you so much...and thanks for praying for Drew!

Baby Drew update!

I had another dr appt! It was a good appt...the glucose test I took 2 weeks ago was normal. I just had my blood pressure checked which was normal and was measured which is right on track...she said he was head down :) I was wondering how he was positioned...she said yup he is head down and showed where his back and then legs/feet were...she said he should stay that way. :) I dont know how she can tell but she can! haha and got to hear his heartbeat again! It was in the 140s which she says is fine... SO it was a good appt :) I have another one is 2 weeks! I will be 31 weeks on Friday! (Nov 7) only 9 more weeks! CRAZINESS!

Now she says I should be feeling movements like 10 times in an hour twice a day..I do feel him move a lot! Which is good! However, I am afraid with her saying that, I will become obsessive about it..but I cant worry about it! He is healthy and I am continuing to pray for a healthy baby boy who is growing and developing normally :) Thanks for your prayers!

Dr appt update!

I had another dr appt! I had to get the rhogam shot and glucose (diabetes) test...good times...haha it wasnt bad. The stuff you have to drink is not bad at all. I got the orange and it tasted like orange pop that was really sweet so I didnt think it tasted bad. I mean I prolly couldnt drink more than a cup of it but it was fine. I also had to get blood drawn twice... and the shot was in my hip. lol

I had my regular dr. appt in between which only lasted like 10 minutes lol. My blood pressure was checked which was normal :) and she measured me with the measuring tape (the length up) and I am right where I should be and then I got to hear Drew's heartbeat :D I always love that! Its the coolest! She said it was in the 140s which is normal right now. So overall, it was a good apt! I am so thankful!

God is so good! I thank God everyday for this blessing and pray for a healthy baby :) Thank you for your continued prayers!

Pregnancy Update

I had my OB doctor appt today! I guesss my stomach is measuring right where I need to be (24 weeks) so maybe I am not a week ahead, but it doesnt matter anyways :) The same "due date" Jan. 10.. I also got to hear Drew's heartbeat :) That is always amazing! He said it was in the 150s which is normal... everything is looking fine, praise the Lord :) My next appt is Oct 22 when I am 28 weeks and I have to get the Rhogam shot (cuz I have A negative blood) and diabetes glucose test during that visit...fun stuff haha I have gained a total of 7 lbs since I have been pregnant. He said that was fine. He first asked if I have been eating and drinking and I was like YEAH :) It is exciting to have a baby! hehe
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a different note, last night was aweful though. I was up all night with a terrible terrible migraine to which I threw up twice...I still have it a little but not TERRIBLE..but please pray that it will go away completely and not have to deal with more of these...thanks!

22 week ultrasound!

I had my official ultrasound!! It was confirmed that we are having a boy so that is exciting :) It was also sooo cool to see my baby again..moving around...etc ! It was soo cool! He is an active little guy! Getting bigger and bigger! He is 1 lb 9 oz! hehe ...Everything looked great and his heartbeat was good...it is cool seeing that on the ultrasound! She said his legs and feet were right by my bladder! NO WONDER I pee all the time!! lol especially after I feel him kick a lot! haha That is amazing to feel him kick...it makes me feel good too that he is moving around!

So I dont know if everyone who reads this knows but the baby's name is Andrew Nicholas :) and I like the name Drew :)

Thank you for all your prayers once again. Continue to pray for Drew! :) and myself !
Also, for student teaching!!! That is going well..I will teach my first lessons next week. I will be teaching Bible next week!! I am kinda nervous! Thanks!!!

21 weeks and counting...

I have an appt on Wed. the 3rd for the official ultrasound at my dr's office! :) I am sooo excited to see my baby again moving around! Speaking of moving around...I feel my babe moving around a lot!!! It is the coolest thing to feel him kicking! I know I have talked about this before but it is an amazing feeling! Nick has felt him kick now! (for the first time the other day.) It was early in the morning before we went to the school for meetings this week... after I got up to pee for the hundredth time ya know...I layed back down on my back and he started kicking! I grabbed Nick's hand and put it on my belly! HE FELT IT! :) He said "ya, its cool." haha . He is such a guy but he is excited... =)

On a different note, student teaching starts on TUES! First day of school!! I am a little overwhelmed and nervous but excited I guess haha ...I am gonna be so tired! In addition to just student teaching, being pregnant adds to it! haha ALSO, having to pee all the time will be interesting lol...

That is going on right now in my life....I have a few prayer requests.., #1 my great aunt is dying of cancer...so pray for her for peace and love...etc....#2 my student teaching...and #3 as always...the baby! :)

Thank you for your continued prayers!

Baby growing and moving

I am at 19 weeks pregnant now! :) Cant believe I am like 1/2 way through my pregnancy already!!! I have felt the baby move toooO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was sooo exciting! However, at first I did not know what it was...it is very hard to explain and a lot of people explain it differently...sometimes it felt like ripples in my stomach but I have also felt like a pressure or something pushing against my skin from the other side...HAHAHA that is the best I can do in describing what it felt like...now I want to feel him all the time!....i think "is he still moving???" lol and I cant wait to get the official ultrasound so I can see him again ....and hear his heartbeat!! I wish I could watch him all the time!

The sucky thing is right now I have a bad cold...well REALLY bad sinus pressure/pain/congestion!!!!!!!!!!! it is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!! my throat kills and everything....PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.... i might sound like a baby lol but I am miserable! :(

And continue praying for my baby :) Thank you!

DR appt

I had a dr appt...got to hear the hearbeat again today....that is always nice :) and the dr said the baby was moving around alot and that he sounded good :) That is nice to hear as well! So I have my next appt Aug 26 and she said then I can have an ultrasound...the funny thing is she was like "you are 16 1/2 weeks. You dont get an ultrasound til 20 weeks!" haha so have to wait for that...(even tho i got one already) hehehehehe :) It is so good to know my baby is doing fine...I pray everyday for him...

There is my update for you! Thanks for the prayers!

No morning sickness!!!!!!

I havent thrown up in over a week now!!!!!! :) PRAISE THE LORD :) I think now I will be feeling better... with morning sickness anyways...

It still seems surreal that we are having a boy but I am soo excited! There is still a tiny part of me that is like "what if it isnt a boy and we think it is and told everyone?" but i dont know what else that part would be in the ultrasound :) It is just so amazing that there is a little person growing inside me...It is crazy that he moved around so much in the ultrasound but I cant feel him moving yet.

It is hard to explain what I feel about all this...it is just so awesome that God blessed us with this baby. I pray everyday for the baby that he is growing and developing normally and healthy and continues to have a strong heartbeat :) God is in control!

Thanks for all the prayers!

Having a...BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO we saw the ultrasound and it was the most amazing thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We finally saw his legs and butt spread with the little thing in between haha 98% sure that he is a boy cuz of that! hehehehe i was like WHAT..couldnt believe it cuz i was just expecting it to be a girl cuz there are just all girls in my family!!! and nick's aunt said that I might be a little farther along than 15 weeks cuz of the size of the babe..we will see in a couple weeks when I get another altrasound with my doctor :) I am just sooo excited!!! The baby was really movin around and flipping over in it...it was soooooo cool!!!! And we saw his mouth open and close and move his little hands all around! I just cant describe the feeling I got when I saw my baby...! I have a video of the ultrasound on facebook...Nick used his flip video to do that....thanks for all the prayers for a healthy baby! Keep them coming! :) thanks!

BABY'S HEARTBEAT~

We FINALLY got to hear our baby's heartbeat!!!!!!!! :) IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!! It is sooo real now! The doctor said it was a good heartbeat, sounded good...It was 164 beats a min... It is just soo exciting....I almost cried!! But, mostly, I just kept smiling in awe!!! We have a baby!!!! I am praising God for a healthy heartbeat and the blessing of a baby!

Now, I cant wait until we find out if it is a boy or girl!!! I have heard that if it is a faster heartbeat, it is a girl so...we will see!!

It is just soo awesome!!!!

Keep praying for the baby :)

One year anniversary

So today, Nick and I have been married a whole year. That is so crazy! In a way, it seems that its been that long; but in a way, it seems like it was just yesterday that we got married. It has been an awesome year, growing in our relationship as a married couple. I just want to say, we were together 5 years before we got married so we KNEW a lot about each other, we thought everything. However, it is true that no matter how long you are with someone, once you get married and live together, there are still things you learn about. :) It is a crazy, fun ride!!! I love him.

Now, we are going to have a baby! :) People say "well you almost made it a year..." hahaha

SICK OF THROWING UP

So...I am sooooo excited about this baby, but this morning sickness - throwing up and nausea is for the birds. Throwing up is really getting old. It is very exhausting...
BAH! :(
At least in the end it will be all worth it...

So, I also have a little bump...not much at all but a little one nonetheless, so my pants are a little tight around my waist and my shirts are a little tight around my lower abdomen. I have shirts now that I wear and they are tight around at the bottom and I also have maternity type shirts (that are in style now.) The question is what do I wear!? haha Sometimes I wear regular shirts and sometimes I wear the maternity style ones. However, the maternity ones make me look more pregnant and the regular ones kinda make me look like I have a little pouch so ...haha i know quite the dilemma. jk well here are my thoughts...

Waiting...

So I am in the middle of my 10th week now..I have just been hanging out, relaxing, still throwing up daily...unfortunately. I am anxious for that to be over! Also, still... waiting til July 1....haha
According to what it says about week 10, my baby is the size of a kumquat and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce :) Craziness! It is amazing how God creates a little person inside :) VERY EXCITING!

Baby!

I am 9 weeks pregnant, almost done with my first trimester! I am sooo excited and so is Nick! On July 1st, I have a doctor appt; the doctor said I will be able to hear the heartbeat so I cannot wait! :) It is still very surreal to me so I can't wait to hear it because then it will be real! (even though it is now) haha

I have had a lot of morning sickness! It really is aweful throwing up everyday! However, I think I am starting to feel a little better...as I hear "the joys of the first semester" lol I am almost done with the first trimester and they say usually that goes away after that!

Pray for me and the baby!!! :)
