3D/4D Ultrasound!

The day is finally HERE!! Its about 40 mins until I need to leave work and I am so nervous/excited. Must calm down! Anytime I get worked up this kid starts going kung fu on me in there! She has hiccups again right now, lol. I swear she gets them 3-4 times a day! No less then twice.

So I am 31 weeks tomorrow! Thank GOD. In the single digits! Nine more weeks to go! I am so ready to be at the end! Although then we open up and whole 'nother can of worms dealing with a newborn. I really, really hope she is an easy baby. Olivia, the brothers kid, is high maintenance to the max, maybe worse then Chloe was (specially since Chloe had health issues and Olivia does not). It makes me nervous that my kid is going to come out the same way! With as busy as the shop is now at work, plus having Chloe with me one day here, I really need her to be pretty chill. PLEASEEE!

So our camping trip went well! Chloe had a blast. Lee and I had fun too, but it was definitely not my fav trip. It was HOT and BUGGY. Thankfully we did end up taking the fifth wheel so we ran fans all night and that made it tolerable. The best thing about it though was the toilet. ;) We went to Houston campground in the Bankhead national forest. Its very pretty and secluded/quiet there. There were like 2 other people there besides us and the in laws. They tent camped right below us across the little road. Here are some pics!

Our lovely '70s fifth wheel

You can see the "ugh, its hot" all over this photo, haha

Smiley head

She loves to play in any sort of water!

Just had a rain storm come through and cooled us off, loved it!

So anyway! We stayed two nights, the first night we had two fans, one on Chloe down on the couch bed, and one on us. I got HOT, and did not sleep well. The next night the in laws told us they didnt need the fan they bought in the tents so we got to have an extra one on us and that helped. Also the second morning a storm came through so it was pretty cool even though we had to shut the windows. Chloe did really well! Slept great on her little bed that pulled out (I put pillows on the other edge to keep her from falling off) and even when the storm came through I just sang to her a bit and turned her pillow pet on and she went back to sleep! Such a good girl. Here she is being goofy on our bed up top. Notice the lovely mismatched pjs, lol, the shirt that goes with those pants is long sleeve so I swapped it for a short sleeve.

So we went swimming in the lake one day which was a lot of fun and hiked a bit one day, but that was about it. My prego self wasnt up to much more. Plus the bug bites/poison oak I had were pretty miserable, especially trying to sleep at night! I was pretty proud of myself though, only having to pee once in the early mornings. At home I go at least 3-4 times!

Well time to get little girl up from her nap and head to the hospital!!

Week 26 - Still No Name!

Hello all! Yeah, its been a freaking long time. What is wrong with me?? Well lets see if I can catch myself up. (because I know the only person to read this is going to be my future self, lol)

So we have made it over halfway! I'm now, dare I say, getting close to 30 weeks?? 26 is closer to 30 then 20, right? ;) So yeah pregnancy is still not that fun. I am pretty much done with it. Done with being big, swollen, feeling full after five bites, peeing all the time, a violent child kicking me ALL DAY off and on. This has been so different then Chloe. Oh lets add back aches and heartburn, forgot those. And basically feeling like a 70 year old woman moving around.

So on the good news front. No more bleeding still. Baby is growing well. My health is good. I am bigger with this one at this point, but not a whole lot. Maybe 5lbs? I'll know for sure tomorrow at my next appointment. This will be my glucose screening appt, yeah. I'm sure I will fail, almost everyone does until they do the blood test and are like, o your fine. Really? Can we not get a better system for this?? Oh, here is the belly this morning:

I just went back to find a 26 week post to compare from the last pregnancy and found THIS! I am 28 weeks here and SO MUCH SMALLER! GAH! 

Holy moly. I'm mean I knew I was bigger then before but GOOD GRIEF! What is going on! And I know its not just the "you get bigger with your second baby" crap. Jamie was smaller with her second pregnancy! Granted her first was a boy and this was a girl. But seriously if girls are supposed to be smaller what happened to this heifer child?? Sigh. I'm going to be a BARGE by the time I pop this kid out! :(

So anyway, I was supposed to be talking about good things. We sold the mustang a while back! Got a lot more out of it then we put in it, which was awesome. We paid off our car loans and got some money back too. It has been SO nice not having to worry about how I'm going to pay the bills. Although I worry about what is going to happen later. Lee and I nixed the fifth wheel plan and have moved on to the 'build a shop' plan.

Yeah so he says he can build a shop for around 5k. Which is something he has always wanted, and really will boost the house/property value. Plus I am loving the idea of a garage to park in. No more frozen/snowy windows and running and jumping in the car when its raining. The first perk will be REALLY nice this winter with an infant. 

So we have to get a loan for $2500 anyway to pay the stingy hospital (who says I have to have them paid by the time I deliver, the dr office is letting me pay by month) and then add the other on top. We should be able to stay at 200 a month for 4 years. So that is probably what we are going to do. We are holding off as long as we can though to catch up on stuff and put off that payment.

Got Chloe's room painted! We went ahead an did purple, I just couldn't go with my plan, she LOVES purple. It actually looks pretty decent. I'd still like to get her a purple bedspread and a few things to put on the wall. But her furniture fills it up so good it looks fine for now. Oh yeah, I found her a whole REALLY nice set of furniture for $200 the other day. The grandparents bought it for her birthday, thank God. That was a big worry taken care off! It looks great too. It has a nice sleigh bed, night table, entertainment center, and a dresser with mirror. It all fit too! I'll have to take a picture of it. 

So now we just have to do the babies room. Decided on one light pink wall and the others grey. Gotta find some pink and grey bedding. I'm hoping to get it and a stroller for my baby shower. I got all the clothes organized the other day, just need to wash them now. I figured I'd be getting a lot more before she gets here so holding off on washing till I have most of them. Oh and the fact that my washer is KAPUT doesn't help either. Thank God for the mother in law! She always did the laundry on the days she watched Chloe anyway, so she just takes them to her house and does them. I really should buy her some detergent. I doubt she would take it though, thats just the kind of person she is.

Oh! We are going camping this weekend for Labor Day! So excited. Although I'm afraid we are tent camping which makes me a little less so, but it should still be fun. The places we usually go with a camper are all booked already, boo. I'm still going to look around a bit today though. Chloe is going to be so excited, she loves camping.

So yeah, I have a three year old now! She had a blast at her party. It wasn't anything big, just family and such. We did it in the back yard which turned out really nice. She is such a sweet baby, love her so much. Her spirit is so sweet and willing (most times) I feel so blessed to be her mama. I hope this next one is similar! (by the way it behaves right now I'm pretty worried!!) She had her 3 year old check up the other day. 27lbs and 36 inches. Very low percentile still, lol, but thats fine. 

Baby Olivia made her entrance!! She was born the first of this month, little bitty thing at just over 6lbs. Jamie was about a week early. She is such a sleepy thing! She is almost a month old (Thurs) and I have seen her awake maybe 3 times, lol. She eats like a little pigger though! Sounds like her daddy! Here she is visiting me one day:

Oh! To get to the title of the post. Yeah, this kid still dosen't have a name. We have sort of settled on Shelby, but it still doesn't thrill me. So we got Shelby from the Shelby Mustangs, lol. Since we had to sell the mustang for her, haha. So far its the only one both Lee and I like. I will probably tack one of my other favorite names on it for her middle and make her Shelby Noelle Mickle. I still really like Kennedy, or Kennadie. But she will have to spell her name her whole life with that one. But then she won't be as likely to be associated with our 35th president. I wish I could just LOVE Shelby and be done with it! I'm kind of holding out for the 4D ultrasound, hoping when I see her face it will trigger something. That should be in about 3 weeks! So excited!! I'll find out more about that tomorrow I bet.

Soo, I think thats about it. Will try to blog about how the appointment goes tomorrow. After this one I start going every two weeks! EEP!

Ultrasound

So yeah, its taken me a week to blog about the results. I'm not sure whether I would say I was more dissapointed with the results or just SHOCKED!

I guess you probably figured out that I was COMPLETELY wrong about the gender. DEF not a boy, lol. Another baby girl! Which is what I kind of wanted to begin with! But then I convinced myself it was a boy and that I wanted a boy, so therefore it has taken me a week to readjust. I really am not sure that I am fully adjusted even now about it. I keep getting confused on whether I'm having a boy or girl when I am looking at clothes or something, lol. It's getting better, though. I'm not going to lie, I was dissapointed. I really did want to have a boy, since I have a girl. And I wanted Lee to have a little buddy, you know? I feel like Chloe is more 'mine' since she is a girl and we relate so well. Oh well, the 3rd baby is always an option. Although I will not be able to work anymore, and that is definitely not an option anytime soon. Maybe in a few years, we will see.

So, the big question now is WHAT DO WE NAME HER?!? We are all set and settled on Gage, just trying to come up with a middle name. We even kind of picked that the other day, Gage Irvin Mickle, after his paw paw's name. But now we have had to start all over. Like I said before, the husband does not like any of my girl names. I have thrown out another half a dozen at least and he doesn't like any of those either! Here are my front runners at the moment:

- Kennedy (Kennadie?)
- Felicity
- Noelle
- Krysta
- Lena
- Brynne

So of all of them I really like Kennedy, so does everyone else I list all the names to. But is it the one? I dunno. I'm about to get burnt out looking for names!

So I now also have to get rid of like 4 things I bought that are boy things. Huge bag of clothes, another lot of sleepers, a bedding set, and I may get rid of a winter car seat cover that is brown. Boo! I have bought one set of sleepers for a girl and a cute diaper bag. Also a super cute neck/head rest for an infant. Still need more clothes and to decide if I am going to keep her in Chloe s' bedding or get her another one. I am definitely not buying/asking for a new set, but if I come across a cute one on the online yard sale site I will probably buy it, if its the right price. (the boy set I bought was $20 and it was SO cute and SUCH good quality, ugh!)

Also got to figure out what color I want to paint her room. Don't want to keep the green. I know exactly what I want in Chloe's room but I can't do anything until I get the flipping bedroom set out of there I'm trying to sell. There is a lady from church says she wants it but she keeps dragging her feet -_-.

Anyway its going to be a kind of teal/blue on the walls and then purple and teal bedding. I'm going to get her this daybed:

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Dorel-Asia-Twin-Full-Daybed-White/23316637

As for the baby room I'm going between a purple or grey. Not positive on anything yet, really. Also have to come up with a small dresser for Chloe's room. Ugh, so much money going out! On that front thankfully I got a nice chunk of change from my dad for finishing a insurance list for him. Although the entire $500 went to bills except for $100 I used to get my contact prescription redone. $100 to Chloes insurance, $100 towards a dentist bill, $100 for a bill we were behind on, $100 for car tags. UGH.

We also went ahead and decided to sell our '71 Mustang. We were both pretty heartbroken about it, but I think we are getting over it. We are going to hopefully get 12k out of it at least so we can pay off our car loan and free up about $400 a month. We are then going to get another small personal loan for the dr/hospital bills. Lee also wants to put another 3-4k on that to buy a travel trailer but then I'm like, ok, we are back in the same spot we were before with a $300 payment! We shall see. The mustang has been up for 2 weeks now with no bites, so boo. Might have to get the father to buy it if it doesn't sell within the month so we can get the money we need now and then he can get the money from the sale. I'm so thankful my parents are well off enough to help us out if we need it!!

So Sunday afternoon I had a rare day off from church. Usually I'm there from 8-12 and then back again at 2:30 for practice and sometimes have to stay all the way till after 4th service which ends around 6:15 or so. UGH. But we had no practice and I didn't have to play violin 4th so we got the mustang out after Chloe's nap and cleaned it all up and went to the park! There is a cute, really quiet park in a town near us that has swings and some toys, a slide, etc. But its also got a little water feature and is next to a really pretty creek. Unfortunately the water feature is only on till 4 in the afternoon so after Chloe played at the playground a bit we walked down to the creek and splashed around in there for a while. It was COLD! But after you had the initial shock wear off it was comfortable. Chloe had so much fun! We had to hold her hands the whole time because it was a little slick! Here are a few pics from that day:

Headed to the park with the top down!

Splashing in the creek!

Love it!

Looking cool cruisin' through town for no particular reason

Usins' :)

Speaking of the 'stang I got to drive it yesterday all by myself to work! Then us girls took it to a town about 30 mins up the interstate to eat at Olive Garden for a girls night. It was so fun! I only stalled it once, haha. I still need lots of practice driving a stick!

So not much else going on right now. My sister in law is about to pop! She has about 4 weeks left, I bet she goes early though! She is having a little girl, Olivia. I'll try to take pics of my 19 week belly and post them later. Tata!

2 More Weeks! (And A Scare)

Until :drum roll pleaseeee: THE ULTRASOUND! Seems like it has been forever! Although we did kind of cheat and get to see the baby yesterday. Yeah, definitely not planned! Let me explain.

So Sunday night we got in kind of late from being at the in laws. They are redoing their bathroom and of course the husband has to do much of the work on it. Well I went to the bathroom just to pee but then thought well apparently I need to do the other as well. So I did my business and while I was I felt kind of a few sharp pains and a lot of pressure but nothing totally awful, you know? So I stand up and by now Chloe is in there with me (of course, a mama can never go to the bathroom alone!) and she goes, oh, red! And I look down and see a toilet with yes, RED in it! I then wiped and wiped bright blood twice. I was shocked and just clueless. My mind was trying to compute and I start thinking, I'm not due for my period, trying to rationalize! I wiped in the back to make sure it wasn't coming from there, and it wasn't. Then I called Lee in there and tell him what is going on and he's like why are you bleeding, and I said I don't know!

So I hurry to my phone and call the hospital and tell them I need to talk to the on call OB. She asks my name and what is going on and then quickly got me in touch with the doctor thank goodness. So I tell him what is going on and he asks me if we have had sex, no, how much blood, am I hurting, etc. Essentially he told me I need to be checked out. I could come to the ER or wait and go in the morning to my doctor. I decided to wait and go in the morning. ER bills are outrageous and of course I have no insurance. He told me if I started hurting worse or bleeding more to def go to the ER though.

THANK GOD I never did bleed anymore after that initial spout. I was crampy/uncomfortable though the rest of the night and next day. Today I feel better thank goodness.

So I get off the phone and am just shaking I'm about to flip out and trying really hard not to think of all the things that could be wrong. I kept holding on to the fact I felt the baby move that morning and that I wasn't bleeding anymore so I was probably fine. Lee was so sweet taking care of Chloe and taking care of me, etc. I was doing ok in the crying department until I had to call my dad to tell him I'd be late that next day at work, then I lost it. My mom talked to me for a bit and that helped some, and I finally calmed down and got in bed. Lee and I watched cooking shows till 12 o'clock lol, I knew I would need to be really sleepy before I could try and nod off.

So the ER doc told me to just show up at my drs office at opening the next day and they would be more likely to get me in. So Lee took off that morning thank God and we got there about ten after they opened at 8:30. And ended up not getting out of there till 11! UGH, mainly it was because my doctor had a dentist appt that morning and it took him forever to get in the office -_-. But I love him and his nurses and they were so sweet with me. I did my normal weigh and pee in a cup thing (128lbs now) and then he came in and asked what was going on etc. Then he told me to get undressed so he could examine me. He said he could tell I had bled a little bit but everything looked good down there, cervix was closed, etc. He said I was measuring good and all. Before all that he listened for the heartbeat. It took him longer then I wanted (which was in reality just seconds) but he found it! Good strong 140 like normal. I was so relieved! The nurse came to my head and said you going cry happy tears now? And I just about lost it!! Thanks! I didn't need help! Lol. So after that he told me to get dressed and we would do an ultrasound to make sure all looked well in there.

He did it himself since the techs were busy. That was really nice of him. He slathered my belly up and here we go! It was SO different then last time! You could see every limb and his hands, toes, etc. Was so neat! He got a really good shot of his heart beating. And then the little guy/gal started bouncing around and moving his hands up by his face, it was so sweet!! He told us he thinks he saw a scrotum but he reserves the right to be wrong, lol! But I'm going with it, I knew it was a boy all along! Anyway, he said he could see where I bled a little, but it looked fine. And that my placenta wasn't abnormally low (we were afraid of that). So basically everything looked fine and really not sure why I had bled! Relief, but kind of frustrating! I'm going with the theory of just busting something sensitive when I pooped, lol.

So I still go back in 2 weeks for my ultrasound and blood test. Thank goodness! I still need confirmation from that one before I go buying boy clothes! (doesn't mean I haven't started looking seriously at boy bedding and nursery's online, though! ;) )

 We have kind of settled on a name for him, Gage. (I think Lee just likes it because it sounds like gauge, as in guns, lol) Maybe Gage Anthony Mickle? But Anthony seems overdone...and yes its his daddies middle name but also my sis in laws boys middle name.

As for girl names I like these, although Lee has not signed off on ANY of them o_-

Brynn (Brynne)
Harper
Autumn
Summer
Lena
Caylee

So um, yeah, girl names are way easier for me then boy. I kind of like Colin and Cole also for boy names, but I didn't really want to go matchy matchy you know, Chloe and another C name. Kinda cheesy.

So anyway! The cool thing is my ultrasound is on July 3rd, so I can make my big announcement at the 4th of July shindig we do every year at my aunt and uncles. The uncool thing is my own parents won't be there! They are taking a four day weekend, boo! So I guess they get to hear over the phone :(.

Well I am at week 16! Definitely got a pooch now that seems huge to me, but just barely noticeable to everyone else. Although Lee has taking to rubbing it as he passes by me at times, its sweet. I started definitely feeling the baby move Fathers Day, and today he has been very active! The last 10 minutes he has been going at it in there, lol. Thump after thump.

Here is a few weeks ago at week 14 (second trimester began!)

And today, my 16 week picture,

So I have been feeling okay. I have to sit careful almost every time though, if I don't its very uncomfortable. Feels like I'm pushing my uterus up or something, its weird. I don't remember this with Chloe. I am also easily fatigued, breathe hard about just lifting Chloe into the car seat, lol. Which I am much less active with this kid. I just don't feel like getting up and walking every morning, or after work, like I did with Chlo. I get up, go to work, come home, sit on the couch until I have to make dinner. And thats about it! SOMETIMES I can make myself get up and go swimming with Chloe or something. She loves the pool!

Fathers Day was really fun. (Well, aside from that night!!) We grilled chicken and corn, swam, just had fun. Chloe and I got Lee a bunch of neat grilling things. I did have to go back to church to play violin at the 5 o'clock service, but it didn't take too long. We haven't seen Lee much at all lately. The last two weeks he has either been working late or over at his parents with that stinking bathroom. Which thank God is about done.

Well guess that is about it for now!

Appointment #2

Just got back in from the doctor appointment! I feel like I was there a long time, but really was in and out within an hour, which is really good for a ob appointment! I did have to wait on the dr in the room for like 30 minutes, I guess what was what felt so draggy. Next time I'm sitting in the soft chair and not on the stupid table!

So! He came in and said all was great with my blood work. Negative for all the bad stuff, told me I was immune to rubella, thats good! (He said I was either vaccinated or had the german measles, which I'm pretty sure I didn't). Also said my blood type is O positive. Also said my blood level was really good as well as everything else. Yeah, I was anemic last time. I started taking that new prenatal with iron, and even though I'm good now I'm gonna keep taking it. I gained one pound he said, which was weird. I measured 130 my first appointment, which was huge for me. Then today I measured 128, whew. I guess he is going off my pre-pregnancy weight of 127 or so. Either way, I'm so glad I am not over 130!

He measured my belly and said I'm measuring around 9 or 10 weeks, which Jamie has been measuring a week or so off the whole time, lol. She is 28 weeks now! Her baby shower is in just a few weeks, I'm so excited. I made a neat glitter letter thing with Olivia's name last night for it. Also got supplies to make part of her present. Its a ribbon/headband holder in the colors of her room. She is gonna love it! Its still like three weeks away, but I am feelin crafty lately, lol. I also bought her a purple bumbo, hehe. She will be pretty excited.

Anyway, sorry, got off track. He then said "usually we can hear the baby at 12 weeks, but your so skinny you wanna give it a try??" I was like, of course! Haha, so he slimed me up and looked around for it. Didn't take him long to find it, just hard to keep a hold of it. Guess the baby was being wiggly! I love getting to hear it, about teared up! She/he sounded like a washing machine, haha. He said the heart rate was in the 150's. So according to the old wives tale, its a boy! It was around there at the ultrasound as well. We shall seeee... I need to find my doppler!!!!

So I then asked him about Chloe's hemangioma, if he thought it was more likely for my next to have one too. He hem hawed around a minute and then said it is a possibility because its hereditary. I told him I was afraid it would be on his/her face. (The face ones are usually by the eye or mouth, both really bad places for obvious reasons!) He said it would likely be in the same spot if the baby did have one, as my previous child. So thats a bit of a relief. I need to do some research.

Well thats about it!

Feeling So Much Better (11 Weeks)

Well you will hear a lot less complaining this post, thank goodness! As of week 10 or so (last week) the nausea has subsided and the mind numbing exhaustion has gone! Praise the Lord! I am still pretty picky about what I eat, but nowhere near as bad as before. Anything that involves syrup (pancakes etc) is acceptable. Macaroni and cheese, yum. Any sort of red meat is good. Sweet stuff of course is always fine. I'm drinking a lot of sweet tea (as usual) or water with lemon. Really like that at restaurants. At home I try to flavor my bottled water with the bottle lemon stuff, although its not as good, lol. As for aversions, still can't eat my favorite lunch food, grilled chicken pita from guthries, and a lot of times salad I can't get down. Pizza has not been sitting lately either, boo. And the heartburn is here already, ugh.

So I have been awful taking belly pictures this time around. I have had a pooch since 6 weeks and I don't think its going away. Either this week or next my uterus is going to become too large to stay within my pelvis bones so I will probably just be trading bloat for actual belly, lol.

I got some cute shirts at the consignment store the other day (all for either a dollar or two!) and then we went to burlington and I got two really cute shorts and another shirt. So I'm doing good for now! I still would like another pair of pants and capris.

We finally made our 'official' announcement, on mothers day, hehe. Here it is:

The pictures came out so cute! Chloe is freakin adorable! Here are a few more:

Love them!! Here in a few weeks I'm going to do Jamie's prego pics, I can't wait. I have all kinds of ideas for her I've been finding on pinterest, love that place!!

Not a whole lot going on other then that. Lee was getting good side jobs in but now they have trickled to a stop. :( There is one really good opportunity if he can get it, but we re still waiting to hear. It's sad though because all of the money from the last one went straight to bills and car repair. Sigh. I'm going to try to pay a hundred at every baby appointment, but that will not put much of a dent in 2,500.

Oh, I have my next appointment tomorrow! I'm sure it will be pretty routine. Hear the heartbeat, how are you feeling, etc. Then tell me how my blood-work came out from the last appointment. I will be going by myself I'm sure. No biggie. I'm still excited though ;). It is killing me I still cannot find my home doppler to hear the baby. I have one, but its freaking DISSAPEARED! I have looked all over for it, Jamie was wanting to use it and for a couple months off and on I have searched for it. BOO. Lee thinks I loaned it out but everyone I have asked about it said they did not have it. Its in that flipping house somewhere, I wish it would come out! I think Chloe would think it really neat to hear her little bro/sister. Then let me listen to her heart. She is saying its a little sister, of course, haha. I'm pretty content right now, I was chomping at the bit to find out but I'm just chill now. I will be happy to know though so I can start looking at decorating ideas etc.

Well guess thats all, till later!  

First Appointment! (Second time around ;)

Well its two weeks later, but I am finally blogging about it! I think I was mostly just kind of depressed about it. Everything went well, don't get me wrong, the thing that bothered me was they told me I was two weeks BEHIND what I thought I was. So disheartening!! I was only 7 weeks when I thought I was 9. -_-

Anyway the mother in law went with me because Lee had to work an hour away. So it would have been him  driving to work, coming back to the hospital, driving back to work and then back home. Just ridiculous  If it had been our first baby we probably would have done it, but we are both a little more relaxed this time, lol.

So I met the new doctor! He was really nice. Funny and easy to talk to. The nurse was awesome too, shes so sweet. She stayed in there most of the time which was nice. 

So first they had me sit in the room and wait for a bit and then the nurse came in and did the family history run down. Then he came in for a bit and talked to me. After that the chair at the lab opened up so I went and gave them like six vials of blood, good grief. Then back to the room to get naked, yeah, so he could do my pap smear I was due for. I let the mother in law out of the room for that one, haha. It was so great she came, I would never have been able to handle all that AND Chloe. Speaking of her, she sat as still and quiet as a mouse. I think she was afraid we were at the doctor for her! And was not going to make her self known, haha.

So he said my cervix and all looked good, nice healthy pregnancy look to it. Then he proceeds to inform me I have a backward tipped uterus. What?? I'm nearly 30 years old and have been having regular OBGYN appts for years and I am just NOW hearing this?? Thanks previous doctor.  So anyway, its no big deal. Like 1 in 3 women have one that tips forward or backward. Just thought it was something I'd like to have known.

After that I got to get dressed and head to the ULTRASOUND ROOOOMM! Yeah! Here is our little butter bean! We also got to hear the heartbeat, it sounded so strong and good!! The baby was too small to be moving much so we just sorta saw a blob. The black stuff is the amniotic fluid, and the whole rest of the area is my uterus.

This was when I found out I was way off on my due date. So instead of mid Nov I am due the first of Dec, the 3rd. UGH!! I really, really didn't want a December baby. So I'm hoping I won't have to evict this one and will go early! But we got to hear the heartbeat and see it and it was so neat. Chloe wasn't sure what to think,  LOL. Oh, I forgot to mention because of how my uterus tips and also I was so early along, she couldn't see anything with a normal ultrasound so I had to drop my pants again and have a vaginal one. Those are SO fun! -_- But it was of course worth it!

So after that we were done! We decided my fav mexican restaurant sounded good so headed there after I stopped by work to show my mom and dad the pictures. 

So after this doctors appointment everything has gone down hill. Actually about the beginning of my 6th week. I feel like CRAP most of the day. EVERY DAY. And some days are worse then others. Like Friday I just didn't feel like getting off the coach all day. Thank goodness it was my day off.

When I feel bad I get so ill and very hard to get along with. At least in regards to my poor husband. I'm nauseous most of the day. And about an hour or two after I eat I get so hungry its ridiculous  I mean that kind of stomach-twisting-I-haven't-eaten-ALL-DAY hunger. It sucks. And what really sucks is even though I'm starving, I'm not. I mean, I don't WANT to eat. It's about impossible to find something I think will stay down. And usually even if it is something I think I want, I usually have to make myself eat it. 

SUCKS! Did I mention that?? And I'm not done. The bloating is HORRENDOUS. I started bloating like a month in. Seriously. I look like I am about 20 weeks most of the time. And its all bloat, no baby. Depressing. So I just look fat really (its all about under my belly button). Plus this means normal clothes are totally out of the question unless they are unbottoned and most times unzipped. I have to use a hair rubber band to keep them up, or use the belly band thing I have. Or just say the heck with it and wear my maternity clothes, which I'm doing today, lol. I really like my maternity capris, they are pretty darn cute. But most of my shirts I have now come to just around the top of my belt (which I can no longer wear) and that is not long enough to cover unbuttoned pants/belly bands, etc. And do you think I have money to buy more clothes? Hahahahaha. NO. Sigh, I'm such a complainer aren't I??

I was nowhere near this bad with Chloe. So does that mean boy? Or just a particularly ornery girl!? lol. Chinese calendar was saying boy, but now that I likely conceived in March instead of Feb it is saying girl. So we will see! My 'mommy feeling' is boy, I had the same feeling with Chloe, but girl. So we will see if my insticts are right around July sometime!

Not much else going on. Next appointment is the 15th!
