Kayla's Wedding

July 27, 2013

I'm so happy for my best friend, as she walked down the aisle today and said, "I do" to the love of her life and best friend, Mark. I couldn't be happier for the both of them. I'm so glad that God leads people, and crosses their paths in their walk through life. Their paths are now entwined together as one. God has blessed these two people with each other, and I truly believe He has blessed mine as well, as they are a part of my life, and I got to be a witness of their wonderful union. I love you so much Kayla!!!

18 weeks tomorrow!

Bug,
can't believe this pregnancy is flying by so fast. I will be 20 weeks in two weeks, where I get to see you again! Then you will be here before we know it. I can't wait to meet you. Daddy and I finally are for sure on your name, but we won't know what to call you until we meet you though. Jammie will probably call you Little Miss if you turn out to be a girl, which is what her and Daddy think you are. Auntie Kayla thinks you're a boy, and I'm unsure of what to think. I know what no matter what though, we all already love you so much, and will except you for who you are.

We love you ever so much,

Mommy and Daddy

It shall be a surprise!

So Ness and I have our anatomy scan set for August 6th. We decided that we aren't going to find out the gender though. We have names picked out and everything. We just now have to actually get through the ultrasound. We'll see if we're successful I guess. Anyway, Ness is in the middle of packing because at the end of the month we're moving!!! We can't wait to be in a different state. And so happy that we will be with family through this time of bringing a new life into this world. Sorry for the short post. Just wanted to say all was well.

Here comes 16 weeks!!!

I have neglected this blog a little, but the past few weeks have been a little crazy. Ness put me on a mild form of bed rest, because of doctor's recommendations, and it has helped. I was told by one doctor to not lift, push, ect. anything heavier than a gallon of milk. I've been trying to minimize my driving because I drive a standard. I also was sent to a hematologist to get tested for different blood disorders, and I will hopefully get some results on Wednesday.

A month from yesterday, we get to find out if we're having a boy or a girl, and I can't wait. We already have names picked out and everything! Tomorrow I will be 16 weeks, and Bug will be the size of an avocado. Still anxiously waiting to feel the baby move, but it hasn't happened yet.

Also, life has been kinda crazy and due to all the medical things that have been going on with all the different doctors, we decided it would be best to leave earlier than planned. That being said, we will be on our way to Colorado at the end of July, and neither of us could be more excited. This also meant that last Monday was my last appointment with this ob/gyn. I'm a little anxious about not having an appointment for a little over a month, but I go to the doctors in Colorado on August 5th and then have my anatomy scan on the 6th. The 5th is with regular ob/gyn and, and the scan on the 6th is with the perinatologist (high risk doctor). Also on the 6th I meet with the cardiologist. I'm a little nervous with all of these appointments but I'm sure that Bug and I will be just fine.

I will try to keep this more up to date and be on here a bit more.

Bug,

So I went to the doctor's unexpectedly again. I got to see you and you're little heart beating away at 144. You were measuring 5 days ahead at 13w6d. I got to see your feet, and legs. You are the cutest little baby already. We love you so much. We're not nearly out of the woods yet, but since we're past first trimester, I'm going to finally post these tomorrow when I get your pictures on here. We're in the midst of packing and getting ready to leave at the end of July. I have an appointment to see you on August 5th at the new doctor's office. We love you so much.

Love, Mommy and Daddy

Hi Bug, So last night I was bleeding again. And because of that, I went back up to the doctor's. I ended up getting to see you, but the measurement was done wrong, so it says that you are 12w3d, but I know you are bigger than that.You're heartbeat was still strong at 155 and that's what's important. Mommy is getting sent to a hematologist though to figure out this bleeding issue.We love you so much Bug and a bunch of people are praying for you. Hang in there!

Love, Mommy and Daddy

June 9th and 10th 2013

Hi Little Bug,

So we decided you are an attention seeker.You scared Mommy and Daddy again. We were on our way to tell Grandma Tina and your uncles on Sunday about you, when I started bleeding. So we went home instead and waited it out until Monday morning. The next morning, we wen't to see the doctor and you know what? They nicely gave us an ultrasound; which they normally don't have space for extra people. Daddy and I were laughing saying how you decided that eight weeks is too far away for Daddy to see you again, so you decided something had to happen. We got to see you with a heartbeat of 160! Not only that but you had an ultrasound on Thursday, and in four days you grew eight!!! You were measuring at 12w5d, so you definitely had a growth spurt. Also, today, Monday, I got to feel were you are. I have officially felt my uterus come up and Daddy could feel it too. We love you so much Bug, keep hanging in there! We will here your heartbeat on July 1st!

Love, Mommy

Bug,

Auntie Kayla had the chance to come with me today, and she got to see you on the ultrasound. We got to see you in the 3D image, and you were so cute! You put your hands up by your head and started dancing like a worm or something. You measured at 11w4d with a heartbeat of 158. Not only did we get to see your heartbeat, but they took us back and we got to hear it on the doppler. Daddy and I think we might be able to feel your home right now, which is neat. It's so amazing to watch you move in there. Daddy will be at your next two appointments, so he can hear your heartbeat on the doppler, and then we will have another ultrasound and the one after that. We're almost out of the woods, just keep growing and keep that little heart beating. We'll hear it again in about four weeks on July 1st!

Love, Mommy

Bug,

The reason why I have two different dates on this one is because the title was the date of the appointment, but today is the 5th of June. I can't wait to see you again tomorrow, but until then I'll tell you how last week's appointment went. It was so good to see you. I got another u/s from the week before's scare. You were supposed to be measuring at 10w1d, and much to my delight you were measuring at 10w4d!!! We still have the due date set for December 23rd. And your little heart was beating 162 bpm! This makes Jammie (that's grandma's name) think that you are a girl, especially since I've had days were I'm sick all day long. Whichever you are, we will love you all the same. Just keep growing and may your heart keep beating!

With lots of love, Mommy

Our Little Bug,

You gave us quite a scare yesterday. I started bleeding bright red yesterday and took a trip to the doctors. We didn't get to see you, but we are supposed to on the 28th, just to make you you still have a heartbeat and are growing like you are supposed to. You show be just over 10 weeks! I'm still getting sick as ever, which is a good sign I believe. I have stopped bleeding now, and I didn't pass any clots, which is good. As of today, just resting because I can't keep anything besides popsicles down. Love you Bug, and I'll see you in a week. Everyone's praying for you.

Love, Mommy and Daddy

First Appointment!

May 16, 2013

Hey Bug!!!

I'm so proud of you. I want to let you know that daddy and I love you so much! We had our first appointment today, which we thought we would be at 11 weeks tomorrow with you. We were definitely off, but you were there. You're measuring at 8 weeks and 3 days, and guess what? Daddy saw you're heartbeat before I did! It was at 170, so it was nice and strong. I cried when I heard the tech ask if we saw that flicker, and that told me that you are alive and thriving. I can't believe that I didn't see it, but she went back, so I could see it. It was amazing to see it beating away, and we got to hear it too! I'm a little nervous because we haven't made it past the 8w5/6d mark, but the u/s tech said she wasn't concerned. Also, we get to see you again on June 6th! The doctor nicely gave us an extra u/s for you just to make sure that you are where you're supposed to be at 12 weeks. I know we aren't out of the woods yet, but it seems like we've made leaps and bounds with you already! We love you lots! And your due date has switched to December 23rd! We are looking forward to a Christmas baby.

~Mommy

So to the rest of you, we're hoping that the next appointment goes well. This means that we hope to see a baby measuring about 12 weeks with a strong hb. So far I have had sore bb, fatigue, all-day nausea and have been throwing up every morning since Saturday. So I will talk to you all soon!
