20 WEEKS!!!

Well, we are at the halfway point! I can't believe it's half over already. It has gone by sooo fast and I have LOVED every minute of it. I have had a wonderful experience, so far, with being pregnant! I lucked out and had not one ounce of morning sickness, I feel energized and healthy. I know the hardest is yet to come but I am so excited to have a wonderful little miracle growing inside me!

I think I can feel the baby move every once in a while but nothing that anyone else would be able to feel. I want Eric and my family and me to be able to see the baby kick. I know it will come soon but I'm just wondering when!

We go on Thursday the 28Th to meet out little miracle face to face with a 3D ultrasound. We can't wait. We also get to find out of we are having Cody or Emma. We will be happy about either so it doesn't really matter.

Eric is halfway done with the nursery, painting it that is. He's been working nights so it's hard to get it done. I think he might finish it on Sunday because he only works a half a day. I told him I could help paint and he told me it was his job to paint the nursery. So I just let him go. We have to go pick up the crib from Mike and Mary once he's done painting. The color of the nursery is soft jade and white. All the walls are soft jade and the trim and ceiling are white.

Work news, I have applied for a new position with-in Unity House. It is at our TAS department. It's a lot of the things I am already doing but I would work 9-5 Monday thru Friday, NO WEEKENDS, and I would still get a beeper but it's just for consumers and they only use it it emergency cases. The people I have talked to say they only get 1-2 calls a weeks normally. Mu interview will be for sometime next week. I can't wait. I really hope I get this. It's time for a little change. If I don't get it, I will be staying where I currently am. Which isn't a bad thing it would just be nice to have all my weekends back, with a new baby and all.

Anyways, I guess I have blabbed on enough for now. Sorry I am at work and there is nothing to do.

18 Weeks

Well. We were 18 weeks on Saturday. I went tot he doctors Friday and they said everything is fine. The baby's heartbeat is still a strong 160. They said I should start feeling the baby move soon. I can't wait. Everyone keeps asking me if I felt the baby yet and I have to keep telling them no. I cna't wait till I can say, Yup, wanna feel. Eric is soo excited. We have decided on both a girls and a boys names already....... Girl: Emma Rose Boy: Cody James Eric came out of the blue one day with Cody James. We always liked Emma Rose. We go for our 3D ultrasound on hte 28th I can't wait. Mom is coming with us so she's all excited. I guess that's it for not. Not too much to tell, I feel wonderful.


Until Next time,

17 Weeks and a scare last week.

Hello all. Well, we are 17 weeks today. It's going by so fast. I am still feeling really good. On Tuesday we had to go to the doctors because one of the consumers at work decided it would be fun to push me, very hard, in the stomach. Of course, I freaked. We went to the docs and they checked me all out and said everything looks just fine. They said our baby is very well protected right now. The doc said it would be the same as if I had a 2-3 year old at home and they pushed at my stomach. They were very happy that I didn't fall. Apparently if I fell things could've been different. Of course Eric didn't want me to go back to work, ever. I explained to him we had no choice. But I am feeling great, like I said earlier. I am currently at work. Everyone is sleeping. I'm just counting the minutes until 4pm. Then I am going to our bowling picnic. Anyways, I guess that's it for now. Just wanted to update everyone.

15 Weeks shot

So the doctor tells me I haven't gained any weight. In fact they tell me I lost three pounds. I guess the camera just wasn't agreeing with me this day. Hey, I'm pregnant, I'm still beautiful! And Eric tells me that every day. What a wonderful husband!!!

One Year Anniversary!!!!!

This is us on our ONE year Anniversary, May 20,2007. I honestly can't believe it has been one entire year already. I guess time does fly when you are having fun!! And I must say... He's just so handsome!

This is the "Brides Cake" from our wedding, one year later. It actually tasted really really good and we will continue to eat it until it is gone!!!

A few months late....

So this is a little late but this was the second pregnany test we took. We actually found out we were pregnant on March 9, 2006

A Little Scare.....

Well, we had a little scare last Monday. I came home sick from work thinking I had too much sun on Sunday at Eric's god-son's birthday party. So I go see my mom and she says it's definitly not sun poisening and we think I'm just tired from a busy weekend. So I go home and try to get some sleep. But I can't becasue I keep having chills, again, I thought this was related to the sun burn. So it's now 5pm and I finally decide to check my temperature just to see. Turns out my temp is 100.7. Not too bad but I call mom anyways. She says to call my OB. So I page them. They tell me to come in to the office. I get there at 5:30. My temp is now 102 and I tell the nurse practitioner that I have lower back pain. She asks all sorts of questions and then I remember that I had the same problem when I was 16 and it was a kidney infection. So I tell them. The NP says she has to page the doctor to see what she wants, the baby's heart-rate was a little high too due to the fever. Anyways, by the time the doctor calls back it's 6:45p. They want me to go to Albany Med. Of course I went to the docs by myself because I thought I was overreacting. So I have to page Eric who is at work working overtime. He finally calls back in a panic of course and I tell him I need to go to the hospital. What should've taken him 30 minutes to get to me took him 15 tops. He's freaking out and I try to tell him the baby and I will be alright as tears are pooring down my face. I then tell him that he is suppose to be strong for me and we laugh. We fly to Albany Med. I am a "direct admitt" to the 6th floor, labor and delivery. I get put in a room at 7:30pm not a soul cam in to my room to check anything until at least 9:30pm. How crazy!!!!!! Anyways, they finally come in and check my temp, which went down a little, and my blodd-pressure and oxygen which were a little high. They then decide they need bloodwork and to put an IV in. Of course I hate needles so I let the nurse know I normally pass out. She puts the IV in and takes some blood and then has to take the IV out because my vein collapsed. There was blood all over the place. During all this instead of passing out my body decided to puke this time. So they leave. Hours later they come in and say they have to get more blood because 2 out of 3 tubes clotted from the last draw. They did get my white blood count done. WBC is suppose to be between 10 and 11,000 and mine was 19,000 which definitly meant I had an infection. So anyways, now she does the IV in my forearm this time, gets some more blood. They come back in to check my bloodpressure and such and it's low because of the IV and taking my blood, although I was proud and did not pass out. Some more hours pass and they come in to get more blood and to tell me I need to have a cathater put in to get a clean catch of urine. This time they need a "clean catch" of blood so they have to take the same amount from each hand. I found this strange but whatever. So they do that. Some more hours pass and it's now 3am. They tell Eric he can no longer stay in the room with me and he either needs to go home or go to the waiting room. I tell him to just go home and get some rest and as he goes to leave I again burst in to tears. He decides to stay in the lounge. So he leaves and they come and do the catheter...... not fun ladies, not fun at all!! I fall in and out of sleep in between the nurses comeing in. The doctor came in and did an ultrasound and told me I would have an ultrasound of my kidney's tomorrow morning, but I got to see the baby. It was putting it's hands together and kicking it's feet. I still can't feel anything yet though. I just kept wishing Eric was there to see it. So Eric returns at 5:30a and decides to go home and shower and bring me some clothes and my blanket and will be back. Some guy comes and takes more blood at 6:30. These people are like vampires! Eric comes back at 7am. The doctor comes in and tells me as long as I promise to take my anti-biotics four times a day then she will let me go home. Of course I promise to do that, I want to go the hell home. So a few hours later some guy comes to bring me to ultrasound and Eric comes with me. We get the ultrasound of the kidneys and he said they had to do one of the bladder. As they guy is looking for my bladder, there the baby was! So the guy stayed on the baby a little while because Eric didn't get to see the one the night before. This time, the baby was bouncing around. It made us really happy!!!!!!!!!!! Anyways I get back to my room, they give me more antibiotics via IV. They come in a little later and Eric mentions that the doctor earlier said I could go home today. They go and check my chart and come to find out I could've gone home many hours ago!!! SO they take out the IV and I get my paperwork and we leave. We get my script filled and we are home at 2pm. After we are home safe and sound Eric decides to tell me that everytime they came to do the IV or bloodwork they were reading directions as they were doing it. This made me feel good. Anyways, I had a kidney infection and am now almost doen with my anti-biotics and I feel much better. The doctor had me out of work for a week so all I did was rest and sleep and Eric and my mom took care of me. Thankfully the baby is ok because they checked it when we went to our follow up appointment of Friday, and I lost 3 pounds. I will keep you posted.
