Ohio (Make sure to look below for week 21 ultrasound post!)

Recently I was in Ohio visiting my grandparents. My mom cleared out a bunch of stuff and we attempted to have a garage sale, although it rained the day of and we ended up taking a lot of it to Goodwill. The weather was perfect not too hot and cool enough to have the windows open at night. My Aunt Karla also came for a few days and we had a great time with her as well.

This is my Uncle Barry, Aunt Sheila and cousins Amanda and Aaron. Amanda was also in town she lives in Colorado and does a lot of photography.

This is one of the two truckloads that we took to Goodwill, it was a long day.

The cousin picture, Alec is the only one missing there are only four cousins on my mom's side.

Here are my sweet grandparents, aren't they cute!

Here we all are, the famous couch picture.

Here is a belly picture of me at 20 weeks.

My cousin Aaron helping out, not.

This is Guy in his server room, he is extremely proud of his color coded wires. It is very neat especially when you look at the server room next to his, it looks awful.

This is my latest cake I made for John David's first birthday. It's suppose to look like the goldfish cracker.

21 weeks

I had a doctor's appointment this morning (I go every 4 weeks), they checked my blood pressure-which was good, my weight-I've gained 8 lbs. like you care.  Then Guy met me at the hospital for my ultrasound.  Everything is on track he weighs 12 oz and is extremely active.  I have been able to feel him a lot more lately, he seems to never stop. 

 

Girlfriends

The Pregos

I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with some of my good friends at Katie's ranch.  We celebrated baby Payton's arrival and just hung out together talking and relaxing.  Whitney, Coley and Libby drove in from Dallas, it was so great to see them.

I'm headed to Ohio to see my grandparents, I will have pictures to post when I get back.

It's a BOY!!

This this is our little boy, the bottom picture the baby is looking up at us.  

Turns out Guy's 94% prediction was accurate after all.  

We had another ultrasound today because one of my blood test came back with abnormal results so they wanted to get a closer look at the baby.  We were a little nervous about today, but we came away with great news.  The baby looks just as he should, I go back in four weeks for another ultrasound to get a closer look at the heart and he will have grown even more.  We praise God for the good news and rest in peace knowing he's in control of our baby, and he knows what he's doing!

16 Weeks

This was the baby at six weeks, and here it is at 16 weeks.

The top one is facing this way the bottom one has his/her back to us.  They aren't exactly clear but you get the picture.

We had our 16 week appointment today, everything is looking good.  The baby refused to uncross his or her legs so the doctor wasn't able to tell what the sex may be.  He tried pushing on it to try to get it to move around but no luck.  I will have my 20 week ultrasound in 4 weeks, so hopefully the baby will cooperate.  My blood pressure was a little high so I go back in two weeks check to have that checked out, it's usually a little higher when I'm at the doctor's office.  I probably need to take it a bit easy.  

I am a bit surprised that I have had three ultrasounds in the last 16 weeks.  Although it has been fun to watch the baby grow and change.  We are still amazed that everything is going well.  Other than having a hard time sleeping a some stretching pains I feel really good.  

It's been awhile...

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, I'm still new at this whole thing.  We currently don't have a camera since my husband stepped on ours!  I promise I will post some "belly" pictures soon.  I have my next doctor's appointment on Monday and I'm sure there will be more to share then.

I am taking 12 hours of grad classes and teaching summer school for the month of June, so I will be a bit busy until July at least.  I am feeling fine and trying to adjust to my clothes getting tighter but not quite ready for maternity wear.  We continue to be thankful and blessed that everything seems to be going well this time around.  

New addition and No it's not a new Dog!

We are excited to finally announce that we are pregnant!  We are due on December 1st.  I had my 12 week appointment on Monday and everything looks good.  My doctor gave me a "happy" sticker on the way out, and orders not to worry anymore!  Please keep us in your prayers as we begin this exciting journey.
