Pink or Blue Ultrasound Scheduled

UPDATE:  We found a place that does 4D ultrasounds (and our insurance actually covers it!) so, we're going there instead.  On January 28th we find out if we're buying pink or blue!  Stay tuned...

Went to the doctor today, all is well with both mommy & baby.  Mommy has gained weight (I finally broke 100!) which they were pretty excited about!  We discussed the mishap last week (they've concluded that the baby may occasionally be sitting on blood vessels/nerves which causes the blood flow to my brain to decrease).  The solution is to lay on my side, in hopes that baby will move somewhere else!  So, we'll try that. 

After our discussion, they did a pelvic exam and everything is right where it is supposed to be.  Then, we did paperwork for our gender ultrasound and I did my second trimester blood work.  We walked over and set up the appointment for the gender ultrasound.  That appointment is scheduled for February 3rd (first appointment they had that worked with Kevin's schedule).

Finally, we were semi-scolded for not signing up for childbirth classes and hospital tours.  I promise Baby F, mommy and daddy do love you and we promise the calendar they gave us said we have until 20 weeks to schedule these things.  Being the over planner that I am they made me feel like a slacker!  Guess Mommy better make this her next mission!

We're very excited about the upcoming ultrasound and will post an update on Feb 3rd!  Soon we will know whether we're buying pink or blue!  Stay tuned....

Haha, I was always in trouble for not picking a hospital and signing up for classes too. And then when you do call, they almost laugh at you because you have sooooo far to go.

Can't wait to see what the ultrasound says!

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...

One Decision Down... 18+ Years Worth Left to Go!

So, in the scheme of things this probably should have been one of the easiest decisions to make, but Kevin and I just could not agree on a crib bedding set (or theme for that matter) for our little man's nursery.  We finally got it down to two and left those on the computer to stare at for a few days.   Well, Kevin finally compromised (okay--he gave in) and my set won!  So, our son now has a bedding set and a safari themed bedroom! (on order).  Next decision (prone to more disagreements, I'm sure) is finding our little man a name!  If you ask Kevin, his name is Aisen, but I have yet to agree on that (more on the great name debate later!).  For now, here is the set we're ordering our son tonight!  What do you think?!
