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...

House Hunting

We are looking to buy a home right now. It is very exciting but makes me a nervous wreck at the same time. It probably doesn't help that I am pregnant and my hormones are like a million time worse then they have ever been. So we have looked at a few houses and found one we liked but then I found another one I really like but the price is way to much. More then what we want to have to pay. We made an offer on it anyways and they sent back a We'll think about it. I am not sure it that is good or bad. I guess we will see. It is perfect though. It's in a great area and quite. It is just perfect if you ask me. Now I am comparing it to other homes we are looking at and I know I shouldn't do it but I am and it is so hard to stop. It even has a red front door. I love it!!!! As for my pregnancy, It is still the same. I am still sick as ever and I can tell and I am sure others can tell now that I am pregnant. The joys of having more then one child is you get to show earlier. I wasn't no Skinny Minny either though. LOL. I go for my first midwives appointment on the 9th of September. I am really looking forward to it. I will also hopefully be putting some new belly pictures up soon. We are definitely slacking in that department. As of today I am 10 Weeks 4 Days Pregnant. My pregnancy chart also says" your little scrapper has already developed defense mechanisms to protect them on reflex!" How cool is that. I can't wait to find out the sex. Not long now!!!!

Sick and Fruit Cups

I am 9 weeks 5 days today and I feel horrible. Yesterday and today haven't been the best of days. I have had a hard time keeping anything down. I actually think I might have picked up a stomach bug or something on top of the whole pregnancy symptoms. It is getting so bad that I might end up at the ER so I can make sure I am not dehydrated. I thought about going yesterday but was able to keep down some water before I went to bed. Chris kept Caleb today so I could rest this morning. It was so nice to rest for awhile. He is such a good man.So tonight I wanted a fruit cup so bad (I have had this thing for fruits and veggies) so we all went real fast to go get one and on the way out the door Caleb told his daddy "We are going to go get a fruit cup for the baby cause it's hungry". It was so funny and of course Chris had to throw in "Did mommy say that"? No, why on earth would I say that. HaHaHa So when we get there we order. By the way there is no menu or prices on anything. So we are like ok whatever. I get a fruit cup and corn and Caleb gets ice cream and Chris gets a fruit cup and pepsi. It came out to like $22 even. That is so freakin expensive for everything. I think I will be making my own fruit cups from now on, But they were sooooo Good.
