Appt

The ten week appt..I was beyond nervous. Daddy took off work and came with me. I was grateful he was there. Dr.alejo got right to business and went straight for an ultrasound. I saw your heart Beijing instantly. He measured to see how quick it was beating169bpm. Joy, pure joy! That means according to old wives takes, it's a girl. I'm still banking on a boy, baby boy brigham :). We'll see though. I'm just so glad that you are growing and right on track. Next appt two weeks. Because we get an ultrasound every time, some of my friends have found out if it's a boy or girl at their twelve week appt. that would be super cool. But I'm not banking on it, would be cool though, since I have so much to buy and prepare for. Clothes, toys, bathe, Carseat sleeping bag, and just other random stuff. I'm so excited! So grateful, so blessed:)!

Thinking

Thinking of you today sweet one. I love you so much. I hope and pray that as I go in tomorrow to see dr.alejo that I will see your sweet heart beating, that you will be growing and developing normally. I look forward to the joy you will bring to our home. Love you sweet one. Love you!

Yesterday I was hit by a ton of bricks, lots of pregnancy symptoms..aka trips to the 'John' to barf. Today much better. I'm kind of liking the some days sick some days not. Gives me a chance to feel normal in between sick days:)8

Update

The spotting has finally subsided, thank goodness:)!i' more tired than ever...seriously i sleep a good 10 hours wake up and attempt to do things (still draggy with low energy) til lunch. Put on movie for Landon andnlexi and then relax for a good two hours so I can try and finish out the rest of the day. Usually right after I put the kids to bed, I zonk out on the couch for awhile then daddy wakes me up to help me go upstairs to bed. Being tired though are just good signs that a placenta and baby are growing:) love you sweet one:)!

Please..

Lord, please help me....all I want is a sweet healthy baby. Today I spotted a disturbing amount, and I'm super cramps. My heart is troubled and scared. Please help calm my fears and bring me the strength to be able to accomplish the task at hand. With your help I know I can do all things.

Phone calL

I feel like human medicine cabinet each morning..zofran so I don't throw up, prenatal for us, docolace to make sure things keep moving,Thryoid meds, and perimetrium for the spotting I have had...whew....doing everything I can to make sure you get here safe and sound. Love u sweet angel. In the mean time, lord please help me to have faith that you'll be safely wrapped in my arms in 7 months, perfect and whole. Love you so much baby of mine.

Boys names of the day...brigham or Hudson. Girl names Brooklyn or Aaliyah(calling her Ali)

1st dr's visit

Today was our first official dr.'s visit with Dr. Alejo. It went well. We saw your sweet heartbeat, he changed our due date from Oct 26, to Oct 22. He did a little spot of concern so I have to really take it easy the next two weeks. No excercise, heavy lifting, and no 'love' with dad..hehehe.. anyways, things with you look good. He said now that we have seen a heartbeat a chance for miscarriage is 2 to 3%. So that was comforting. I have to continue taking my pregestrone pills. I also had all my lab work done. So for now, we are good for another 2 weeks :). YAY! love you sweet one.

Heartbeat...

Daddy and I went in today and daddy did another ultrasound. We saw your heartbeat again. It felt so good to see it just beating away. I feel myself still being cautious...and nervous. But I know I. Need to continue to have faith, and be hopeful. I want you to be apart of our family so bad! I continue to pray for peace, and the love of my saviour. 6more weeks and then we'll be in safe zone:). Love you sweet one!

Slammed..

I spoke too soon. I've been hit by the all day prego symptoms. So glad Jared was home today...I have felt beyond awful...which is good right?:/

Proof

Although this was taken weeks ago, just had to post this exciting picture :). It seems to have taken forever since we finally were able to see these double lines, but we are esctatic to finally have seen them. :)

The past few days

The past few days my body has started to get into it's pregnancy rhythm. So far unlike any of my other pregnancys, for example...being prego with Mike I carried around a barf bucket everywhere! On a trip from Logan to SLC I threw up 10 times....we had to stop in the 1hr drive just so I could empty my bucket. It was awful.... Being pregnant ith Landon I was hardly sick, but then again I napped each time mike did as he was just 8 months old when we found out we were pregnant. Lexi's I was dog sick until 13 weeks, and then it was if I magically felt better. This time, I am sick in the mornings, feel ok from10to 4ish, with a good 'resting time' somewhere in there. I make Landon and Lexi lay down so I can too, as I get exhausted very qckly. Once 4ish time hits, I'm back to being so exhausted, barely keeping my eyes open and barfing again. It's nice to have the mid day break from the barfs....but I'm jut exhausted all day...and the house shows that. Yesterday I took all I had just to clean the living room and lexis room. I straightened the kitchen, and daddy helped with dishes. All around though, I'll take it...it will be all so worth it come october. And being able to hold you. Every now and then I find myself holding my breathe, and just patiently wanting to get out of first trimester as soon as I can. I can't wait to get to the safe zone...I love you sweet one.
