3 months, 6 days

Belly, belly....here it comes! My jeans are fitting tight, and these are my last ones that I can button w/o using the rubberband trick. Just thought I would share my bloatedness with the world!

Prenatal Exam 11/21

I met with a Nurse Practioner yesterday afternoon to do a full check up and listen to the heartbeat. My friend Natalie went with me because T.J. was working in Vermont.

The heartrate was 172--my uterus is growing well and everything is going good so far. I lost 2 lbs from my last visit, but this week my appetite is in full effect. (Pepsi...7-Eleven Nachos...Mashed Potatoes...Turkey (weird!).

My next visit is meeting Dr. Shekr on the 19th. And we scheduled the 19 week Ultrasound to find out the sex on JANUARY 9th!

Sequential Screening-12 weeks, 1 Day

We had our screening today! We got to see our 5cm little one in its glory, kicking and stretching. The heartrate was 162 and we were able to listen to it! Everything looks good, all arms, feet, toes and fingers are accounted for. We are amazed today and we finally realize and know this is REALLY HAPPENING!! Here are the photos!

TOGA, TOGA, TOGA!

We made it to another one of Ryans Parties--this time the theme was TOGA. No Toga, no Entry....we had a lot of fun!


King Richards Fair - 10/25

We had the pleasure of scoring tickets from T.J.'s friend Eric (the living Gargoyle), for King Richards Fair a few weeks ago. The day was extremely cold, and I wasn't feeling well but we made the best of the day and enjoyed the experience.

We must be running from the Law...

Because we are moving again....(Yes, for the 4th time in a year....)

Well, at least hoping to anyways. Our landlords decided to raise our rent $200 in January, due to the fact there water and electric bill have increased. We are very annoyed with the situation-due to the fact our water use is extremely minimal and we don't leave anything on during the day. They alone upstairs take 6-8 showers in any given day, and have ignored our request to fix our running toilet.

We have been happy here for the most part, but laundry is an issue as well as not having a bathtub. They have hardwood floors upstairs, so we hear every step they take. We hardly use the 2nd room and wouldn't use it for the baby anyway when he/she arrives. Insulation is awful...and we had an awful mosquito problem this summer.

So we did some talking, and came to the conclusion that if we are going to pay more anyways, we should do our best to find a better more convenient place to live, that we feel safer in. We put alot of work into cleaning up this place, so its kind of going to be bitter sweet to leave. We have viewed a few apartment complex w/amenities and have been really pleased with what we have found so far. So we'll keep you updated..the search goes on..

Oct. 27th Appt.

I had my Intake appointment on Monday afternoon. It went well for the most part. I had lots of questions answered and gave lots of pee and blood. Yay!

I'm taking Flintstone Vitamins with Iron now because my other pre-natal pills make me sick. I have had a semi-good appetite and my pants are beginning to feel really tight--so I use the rubberband trick on some. I haven't craved sweets or candy for awhile, which is sad around Halloween! The things I love now are orange popsicles, kosher dill pickles, peanut butter on english muffins, and salads.

I have a "Sequential Screening" on November 19th at South Shore Hospital (My 11th week). At this appointment I will have an ultrasound, they will measure the babys neck, draw my blood and send me on my way. At week 16 I will go back and have blood work done again-together these results will compile and rule out 90% of defects or problems with the baby. So thats about all we are waiting for--T.J. can't wait to see the baby this time!
