Yesterdays Doctors Appointment

Sophia is doing great. Her heartbeat was 160 which is really good and she is measuring out just right. I gained 9 lbs this past month. Ouch.. LOL.. Other then that same ol same ol. I kinda got into it with my doctor and another lady that works there. There is a place here where I live that does sonograms and you get the 3D-4D ones. Super cool. They give you like 80 pictures and you can have as many people in the room as you want. Ohh you can also videotape it. So anyways in order for me to be able to go there ad have one done my doctor has to give me a note saying that it is ok. I guess because of sue happy people. Well my doctors office doesn't allow it. So I got pissed off. The way I see it is it's my baby and if I want to have 80 darn pictures and I am paying out of pocket for it then why the hell not. So anyways I left upset and told my doctor that I was going to go home and cry. He felt really bad and I know it's not his fault but it's the simple fact. Know what I mean. So anyways Chris called them (the sonogram people) yesterday evening and they said that they will allow me to have it done as long as I sign a wavier saying that my doctor refused to give me a note or some crap like that. So I am super happy and can't wait to have it done. I will be going when I am about 30 weeks. I can't wait.

Kung Pow Baby

She's a kicker alright. Last night while I was trying to sleep Sophie kept kicking me in my ribs. So much for "get as much rest as you can before the baby comes"... hahaha... I love it though. Caleb has also been getting use to the fact that there is a baby in my tummy. He calls her by her name now instead of that baby.. LOL and he has even been known to walk up to my tummy and give it a little rub and a Raspberry every now and again. It's so cute. He is going to be such a good big brother. Tomorrow morning at like 8:45.. Ugghhh.. I have a doctors appointment. So I will let you all know how that goes. I can't wait to hear Sophie's little heartbeat !!!!

Really Far Behind (23 Weeks 3 Days Pregnant)

I know I said 3 weeks ago I was going to give an update on everything that has happened since around Halloween time but things happen. I have been super sick with some stomach bug and then on top of that I got a really bad cold and I am just now getting online to update everything. Sickness sucks!!!! So lets begin.

About a week or so before we went on Vacation to San Antonio I lost part of my mucous plug. Very scary-ish. I called the doctor and he said that it's sometimes normal just keep an eye out for bleeding, cramping and fluid leakage. He said that the mucus plug will normally regenerate itself. How interesting huh? I thought so. Well I had none or the scary signs so everything is ok. I went to the doctor when we got back from San Antonio and he check me and everything is just fine. So yay...

Now for Vacation....

We went to San Antonio for Halloween to spend it with family. It was a lot of fun and we are really missing everyone. We took Caleb to the Zoo, The Magic Time Machine, The Rain Forest Cafe and a few other really fun places. We had a blast and I got some really cute pictures that I will put up. Trick-or-Treating was interesting. Caleb was so wore out after only maybe 2 streets that we cut it short and went back to my moms early. He was a Ninja and he looked so cute. Halfway through trick-or-treating he took it all off though. HaHaHa So much for spending money on a costume. HaHaHa.. Trick-or-Treating just isn't the same as it use to be. I remember when I was young going up maybe 1 street and already having a pillow case full of candy. Now you barley get anything and no one even turns their porch light on. Times are a changin.


Just have to throw in... Gas here is below 2 bucks.. How awesome is that. I never thought I would see that again. Wowzers !!!! Oh and we now have an African American President !!! Hmmm.. 2009 should be interesting.

Well Baby Sophia is non-stop moving. I love it. Not long now. I don't know if I'm going to have a baby shower. I really don't know a lot of people here in Midland and the people that I do know are more of an acquaintance then anything. I think I have only 1 or 2 real friends here. I dunno. We'll see, maybe I'll throw one myself. LOL.. That would be fun and stressful at the same time. HaHaHa I should really start shopping too since I don't have any girl stuff. I have the boy stuff covered from when Caleb was a baby but nothing for a girl. I should really start soon!!!!

Ok well I am going to stop I will get on a little later and write some more interesting pregnancy things that have happened. So keep an eye out.

Here are some pictures from San Antonio ! Enjoy !

20 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant

So I have alot of catching up to do.But I don't have a lot of time right now so I will just post about today and then tomorrow I will post about the last week or so.

Well today I had the sonogram and she would not move. Only good pictures we got were of her hand in her face and an ear. LOL. She wouldn't even open her legs so the tech could check the sex again. I even did a little hop and a shake so she would change positions and she just wasn't having it. She is head down right now so it's not kicking I am feeling it is her punching me. HaHaHa So here are the few pics that I got today. Not the best but still super cute.

Sonogram Today

It went really well and guess what ????? It's still a GIRL !!!! Yay, so now I am really going shopping. I had a student do the sonogram which was really great cause she took her time and I was able to watch Sophia move around and yawn for about 40 minutes. It was great ! I even was able to get a cute profile shot of her.

So I can't believe I am already 18 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant. Not long now. My how time flies. It says on one site that baby is already up to 7 ounces and 6 inches! The sonogram tech estimated Sophie's weight around 9 oz. So I wonder if she is going to be a big baby? She has been really calm lately. I haven't felt her move much so hopefully that will pick up in the next few weeks or so. Ok now for pictures.

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!!!!
