Adjusting to Change

So, the only thing that I am noticing will take some time to getting use to is Brandi & Bailey getting use to their brother or sister.

EXAMPLE 1: Recently, I have gone out and bought a "pregnacy pillow", it's basically a body pillow made for pregnant women to help them sleep. I was a little hesitant to purchase this $50 pillow-mainly, because after the baby...it's going to just be in the way. However, Bailey has found a new purpose for this particular item...it apparently makes the perfect dog bed for his mid-day nap. I wish i could snap a picture of this...however, Bailey has just recently become a bit camera shy...

EXAMPLE 2: Yesterday, I went out shopping for baby clothes. Just simple little onesies..but while i was out I also bought a little stroller attachement. A little stuffed animal. I come back downstairs and Bailey has taken this toy off the coffee table and is alseep ontop of it. I guess it works perfectly as a pillow too!

I'm taking everything with a grain of salt, however, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I'm a least a little concerned.

A BIG DAY!

So yesterday Jamie and I took the day off and played "hookie". Jamie has been traveling a bit this month, so we figured he was due, and I was, to be honest, just wanting to enjoy the time with my hubby!

So, yesterday we had out 16 week check up. Not too much to report:

- apparently, i have to drink MORE water. I was told about 4 nalgene bottles a day (OUCH! and I thought I was busy running back and forth to the ladies room already)

- They did a blood test to rule out or discover our probability of having a baby with down-syndrome.

-We heard the baby's heartbeat!150bpm...right on track!

- Our next appt. is Oct. 29th where we'll get the BIG 20 week ultrasound! Well, actually, it's BIG for most people because they get to find out the sex of the baby. We have decided to be suprised. But we still get to see the baby and thats always great!!

THEN, after the doctor's appointment we headed into the big city and went to go see the Crique Du Soliel production of Saltimbalco! We got tickets MONTHS ago and I've been so excited to see this. Our seats were AWESOME..second row! The only bummer...no camera's, so instead, i got the pictures below off of their web site.





So, all-in-all it was a great day. Today, it's back to the grindstone. Jamie woke up this morning at 4am, and was on a plane back out to work. I'm sad to admit, i'm not even sure where he's headed! haha! But, he'll be back Monday evening...so, not too bad. Besides, we made up for the missed weeked yesterday! :)

Progress being made....

So, that's what going on. This Tuesday, I'll be 16 weeks....and in my beloved husband's words: "Thats kinda weird that that is in you". :) Thanks honey...love you too!

Baby Water

Hi all! Well, there must be something in the water...I am SOOO SUPER EXCITED! I just found out that our very good friends Dani & Chris are also expecting their very first bundle!! They are due March 14th...5 days after us!!!

I feel so fortunate that I get to go through this experience with both Dani, a good friend from camp and Jessica, my best friend since high school!

Congrats Dani & Kudo's to both you and Chris for holding in the good news for soo long!

Bragging

Yes, i'm bumping the baby blog post for bragging right...it's wrong...i know! But I'm just going to take one moment to sigh and take a deep breath for all my hard work...check this out!

Blog post about Heel!

The only thing I'm not so proud over...the whole story is about being fit and healthy...and here i am with my belly poking out that you can't tell is a pregnant belly :( Ahh well...i'll deal with it!
