Team Work!

P and I put together the baby dresser yesterday. Well he mostly put it together as I painted owl pictures for the nursery. I really enjoy spending time with him. When I am off and he is at work I am so bored and I miss him like cRaZy. I can't wait for the rest of the furniture to get here!

I am so excited that I get to custom make everything, except for the furniture of course, for C's room. I have made two pictures, painted his name lettering and I will be making a lampshade. I can't wait for P's mom to do all the bedding and valance.

I am 18 weeks today, almost halfway done! I am starting to feel like my belly is growing. It's harder for me to tell since I already have so much fat! I have been eating pretty healthy since I found out I was pregnant. 3 square meals a day and 1 or 2 snacks a day. Did you know when you are pregnant you only need an extra 300 calories a day? I hadn't had a Coke until about a month ago when I started having pregnancy migraines and Dr. D told me to drink a Coke when it starts. I feel guilty everytime I do though so I only do it when the headache is unbearable. Thank goodness the headaches are kinda going away.

What's that? You want to see my artwork? Here ya go!

Wedding Day

Today my oldest sister K had her dream wedding. She was the most beautiful I have ever seen her in my entire life. As I type her and her new husband are waiting at the airport to board a plane to go on their honeymoon. It was so stressful to me and it reminded me why P and I went to Vegas! Everything went off without a hitch and it was amazing! The lemon flavored cake was the bomb!

What made this day even better is we got one of four parts of our baby furniture! Now we get to start putting the nursery together! P's mom insists on making all the other stuff for the room. I'm so excited!

Crazy, huh?

So I met Dr. D today for the first time. I love her. She is very personable and ready to answer your questions. I feel I can really trust her. She examined my cervix and she said it looked fine. No signs of inflammation. I'm so glad because P has been deprived of s-e-x for about 6 weeks. Both of us made a decision not to because we would both freak out if I started bleeding. Then I had one of the most awesome moment of my entire life. I had a transvaginal sonogram. You could see the baby! And it acutally looked like a baby! You could see arms, legs, umbilical cord and head. It was surreal and made it really kick in that we are having a baby!!! It is such a miracle and I feel so blessed right now. He or she is gonna be a big one! I was 11 weeks 5 days and the baby was as big as if I were 12 weeks and 3 days. Crazy, huh? I can't wait!!

change of doctors

I went for my first sono/labs on Wednesday. I have changed doctors due to the fact that I have heard some very bad things about him. I have an inflammed cervix. I have had to take Metrogel for 3 days and I am glad that I am done with that! I hate shoving things up my hoo hoo. Hopefully all my labs come back ok and the inflammation is gone. I don't want anything else to go wrong with this pregnancy since it will probobly be my last. I feel like this is my little miracle baby and I pray everyday that God holds my little one in his hands and keeps him/her safe. I have so many worries and I don't really know why. That is why I want to change doctors because he doesn't comfort me and I wouldn't trust him if he did. My baby looks like a little sea monkey and I am so happy that the sono was ok. I saw the little heart fluttering like a little butterfly! :)
