We have a heartbeat! - 7/31/09 - 8w4d

Oh my gosh I am just so happy I cannot even explain it. We saw out little gummy bear this morning, baby measured 8 weeks and 4 days and had a heartbeat of 176! The tech said that baby looked great and the meaurements were right on track. Yay I am just so happy! Can you tell that I am happy?

We have another appt today at 3:30 with the Dr so we will get some more info then. See ya later!

Do they think I forgot? - 7/29/08 - 8w2d

Ok so my Dr's office just called. What did they want?, well I was wondering the same thing. She called to remind me that our first appt was this Thursday at 3:30 "Oh I have an appt this week?!?, to see me baby, oh gosh I forgot, thanks for calling". Yeah freakin right, hello I have been waiting for this appt for over a month now. I certainly did not forget, it's all I have been thinking about all week, or actually the whole time I have known I was pregnant.

Today is Rob's 26th Birthday - 7/16/09 - 6w3d

I was a very mean wifey this morning. I yelled at him when he wouldn't wake up. At 6am with 2 different alarms blaring it was't hard to completely forgot that it was his birthday. I did call him when I got to work and turns out he forgot too, that is until some co-works wished him a Happy Birthday.

We are going out with his family to Outback for dinner. I picked up a Brusters Ice Cream Cake on Mon (luckily it's still in the freezer, I seriously thought about stealing a piece yesterday) and after dinner we are heading to the Blakes for cake, ice cream and presents. Oh crap "presents" that reminds me that I still don't have one.

Rob used to be the easiest person to shop for, he wanted everything. This year I can't think of anything to give him and he can't even think of anything either. Wow sounds like shopping for me! Maybe a bow around my belly will do? Hmm, but no-one still really knows and that would for sure give it away.

Oh and 15 more days until my 1st appt!

Nothing new - 7/11/08 - 5w5d

But 7-11 is giving out free slurpees today! Still just waiting for our 1st appt which is still forever away, July 31st - 20 more days and counting. There sure is a lot of waiting in pregnancy. Oh wait I did order some pregnancy books and "The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy" is hilarious. The others are somewhat boring but it's still info I need to read. Oh and some of it is somewhat scary, making me wonder "what the hell did I just intentionally get myself into". But no really I couldn't be any happier!

Baby names - 7/7/08 - 5w1d

So we picked out our baby names already. Oh you didn't think I was gonna tell you, did you? Well sorry but we are planning on keeping them a secret until we find out the babies sex. I will give you a hint though the last name starts with a "B" hee, hee, hee I am so funny.

Here is another date - 7/2/08 - 4w3d

March 7th - that's my due date! So how does that sound? Sounds like a pretty good day to have a baby to me. "hey baby, you better stay the freak in there!"

Oh and also (careful too much info ahead) looking back on the calendar while calculation my duedate I figure we brought this little baby back from NC, our own little souvenier. So Jenny, thanks for picking such a good wedding date! And Lisa, when you mentioned something about making babies when we left Cracker Barrel well we listened!

July 31st - 7/2/08 - 4w3d

July 31st @ 3:30 That is the date of our 1st appt. I will be a little over 8 weeks by then and we should defenitly be able to see and hear a heartbeat by then. I am so excited, now we just need to wait 4 more weeks! Oh and this is also the date that we will tell our families. Sorry again, Rob really wants to wait and it's his decision too.

231! - 7/1/08 - 4w2d

June 26th - 21 :/
June 30th - 231 :)
Doubling Time - 27.17 hours

Ok so I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am. I started crying as soon as I got off the phone with the nurse, and I usually NEVER cry! I am just so happy :) :) :) see! (those smilies are for you mom, she loves smilies and put them on every good school paper, and :( on the bad ones and they looked just like those)

Oh and what a phone call it was. When I first called they weren't in and I was told to "call back in 5 min and we will look in the computer system" So I call back and waited on hold for no lie , not even using a Karen Taylor conversion chart, 15 minutes. I though my heart was going to beat out of my chest. Then she come back and says "231!" I repeated it "231, that's a great number, thank you so much"

Does a huge happy dance. Now just to get through the next 8 months!

Waiting - 7/1/08 - 4w2d

Ok so my 2nd HCG was drawn yesterday afternoon and the nurse said to "call in the afternoon". What the hell is "afternoon". My plan is to wait until 1pm and call. Wish me luck!

Up-date - 12:38 STILL WAITING!
