Do you ever forget to do something? Well I have been doing that alot. It has gotten so bad I have been making sticky notes of what I have to do that week or I will completely forget. I have them all over my computer monitor and Chris laughs at me all the time for it. A girls got to do what a girls got to do. Thank the Lord someone was smart enough to make these wonderful sticky notes. HaHaHa

Want to hear the one thing I forgot to do though because I didn't make a sticky note of it. Shave my left knee. Yep just my left knee. I shaved everything else but forgot that one knee. I laughed so hard at myself I thought I was going to cry. HaHaHa The joys of my pregnant brain.

The Last Couple of Days

I have felt pretty good, Almost not even pregnant. So let me catch you up on some of the stuff that has gone on the past couple of days. First Let me start off with the day before finding out the gender of baby. I wanted to post this earlier but didn't want to embarrass Chris but you know what.. I have to. It is just to funny not to. So we were driving around and the baby started kicking. I told Chris and I was super excited cause I could really majorly feel it this time. So he says "Like it even has legs yet!" I looked at him with amazement and just started laughing because he was really serious. HaHaHa I told him, "Honey, it's a real baby. It has legs and fingers and all it's major organs already." Hello... Earth to Chris. Someone apparently doesn't listen to me when I tell them all the cool stuff that is happening to baby. LOL. I will never let him live that down. Ok now on to Saturday. We took Caleb to Fiddlesticks Farms which is a corn field maze and pumpkin patch. It was really interesting but I will say it was really over priced. We went through 2 of the mazes and took a hay ride to the very expensive pumpkin patch. We did not buy a pumpkin from them cause a normal size one you can get at the store for $3-4 was a whooping $15-20. Can you believe it?? Crazy expensive!!!! Caleb also played on these super dangerous slides that I almost had a heart attack every time he went up them. Never again !!!! (Dad let him not me, Chris said I need to let him be a boy) Whatever !!! Chris also took a picture of me looking miserable there. I was hot and dirty from the wind blowing sand and dirt all over my body.. Oh Yeah Baby !!!! Hot and Dirty !!!! Ok that's enough of that. I will post some pictures and a video I took of Caleb going down the scary slide. Now on to Sunday. We went to Walmart so I could start a baby registry there, Uh Huh more like so Chris could start one. HaHaHa He scanned everything while me and Caleb stood there with this strange look on our faces like Chris had gone mad !! He was so excited about start the registrty. I have never seen a man like that before. You would have thought he was the one that was pregnant. HaHaHa After he was done. He handed it to me and said ok here you can add some stuff if you want. "Are you serious, I mean he had added everything already. Even stuff that we didn't need like Preemie clothes." HaHaHa I went online later and took off about a million things. HaHaHa I am glad he is excited though. Makes things so much better when we are all excited !!! Well thats pretty much what has been going on.

So let me tell a little about Baby Sophie now. I am 16 wees 2 days pregnant. Only 166 Days to go. Wow it is coming fast. I haven't really felt her move since the day Chris said she didn't have legs. HaHaHa It says on one site that her head to body ratio is finally starting to even out a bit as the rest of the body is actually growing faster than the head at this point. Yes, your little light bulb is not so top-heavy. Her adorable little limbs have lengthened, almost reaching their normal proportions which they will have at birth. Her eyes are still closed but moving and if you had an ultrasound, which many doctors recommend you have at about this time, you may even see your little one sucking on a thumb, not to mention the necessary signifiers to let you know whether you’ve got a wee lad or lassie. Well we already did that and it says we are having a wee lassie. So yep that is all for now. I will post more later when I have more to say.. HaHaHa I'll Be Back!!!!

I go in for another sonogram.. WooHoo on the 30th which is this Tuesday. I am so excited. We are going to try and attempt to find out the sex of the baby. I am still a little early in my pregnancy but have asked quite a bit of other momma's about when they found out the sex of their babies, how far along they were. Most of them said 15-17 weeks. So I am keeping my fingers crossed. Even if we don't find out at least I get to see my little Chappell Baby. So keep checking back in and I will update everyone as soon as we find out. Pictures and all. Woot Woot.. I am so EXCITED !!!!

14 Weeks 1 Day Already

Can you believe how fast this is going. With my last pregnancy it went by sooooo slooowwww. Seriously, I thought I would always be pregnant. Well anyways, sorry I haven't written in awhile. I have been so darn exhausted and sick. Morning sickness is still kicking my butt. I figured out it is my prenatals that are causing it though so I need to figure out a way to take them so I don't blow chunks anymore. Believe me it is no fun. So I do believe I felt the little Chappell Baby fluttering around. It was weird cause at first I was like what in flippin world is that. Well It's the baby. LOL. When I told Chris he looked at me and rolled his eyes. (like uhhh-huh like you really already felt the baby move) I told him I know my own Gas and that was definitely not it. HaHaHa Speaking of Gas I have had it sooo bad. OMG let me tell you how horrible it is. I do not, let me say that again I DO NOT pass gas in front of my husband. How embarrassing, well not really embarrassing just I am not taking the chance on him making fun of me cause then I would have to beat him up. LOL. It keeps me up all night so my big butt is stumbling in the dark to bathroom to do my thing. I am so tired by morning. Yes girls do Fart!!!! Get over it.

So about the baby, lets see it says - Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.Woo Hoo a growing baby. We also go on the 30th of this month to try and find out the sex. How exciting. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for a girl. So I better get going, I need to go start dinner for my boys.

1st Midwife Appointment

So today I am 12 weeks 3 days pregnant. I can't believe how fast it is going. So right now baby is about the size of a plum. Aww I have never been more proud to have a plum! HaHaHa
Today was also my first midwife appointment. I absolutely loved it. I felt almost like I was at home. She made me feel so comfortable which is such a plus. Caleb went with me and played with the toys they have there. He did really well considering my appointment was at 9:00 and I didn't get out of there until after 11:00. Chris wasn't able to go :( He had to work but I did record the baby's heartbeat just for him. He wanted to be there so bad. So, I refuse to step on a scale and look at my weight but today I did and I only gained a few pounds. Shanna my midwife said I am doing great. Woot Woot... Way to go me. When I was pregnant with Caleb I was over 200 lbs. Yeah can you say More To Love !!!! ;) So here is the the video that I took today, you can really see my baby bump. I love to hear baby's heartbeat. It makes it so much more real...
