So Excited!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Memorial Day and nice long weekend! Sean and I went to NC and got to spend time with my family, which was nice. I feel like we've been able to see both sides of the family a lot lately with everyone coming up here and being able to go to NC more lately. I definitely have decided I would love to be back home at some point with our children. I like NC, but I want to be close to our families.

But, as for the baby! :) I have my NT screening (the 1st trimester screening which tests for the likeliness our baby will have Downs Syndrome and some other genetic disorders) next Monday. I'm really excited for that because it's another ultrasound (which means another picture). And on top of that, a lot of people go when they are about 12 weeks and can get a good prediction about the baby's gender, and I will be 13w2d. So since Sean and I have decided to find out with this LO (little one), I am desperately hoping they can tell me what they think it is. If not, mid-July, please hurry!  ;)

I have also still been doing research on baby stuff ... and let me just say ... there are WAYYYYY too many options. Between a gazillion different choices for carseats/strollers and a bagillion choices for nursery furniture, I'm getting overwhelmed with it all. But I do know I want to cloth diaper and one brand I am interested in is called gDiapers. They're so stinking cute and seem like they make cloth diapering relatively fool proof. A girl I know is selling her tiny g's (for newborns) and I'm going to be able to get a good supply for an awesome deal. So I'm really excited about that too.

All this baby stuff is making me super excited for our LO to come and finally be here. Still no morning sickness or anything. I just go back and forth with being exhausted and having energy as if I wasn't pregnant. So I'm knocking on wood and very thankful for this wonderful little blessing!

Thanks for stopping by! I will keep you updated once I go to the NT screening.

It's More Real Every Time

So I went to my appointment today ... alone, again. But I don't mind it so much because then I get to go home and tell Sean about it. 

Today was exactly what I expected. Just questions and answers and information. My next appointment is in 4 weeks and it probably won't be very eventful. We did decide to do the 1st trimester screening. So I am waiting on the call for the appointment information. Other than that, nothing too exciting. 

Except that I heard the heartbeat again. I did manage to get it recorded, twice. But I can't get it to show up right on here. If I can figure it out, I'll update this post or add it later. 

Hello Everyone!

So, this is the way we decided we would keep everyone updated about the baby and the progression of the pregnancy.

What do you think?!? It's just as easy to access as Facebook, if not easier, since you don't have to have an account to see it. I am thinking about creating a photo album that I can link to this. But I may just upload pictures to the posts. So we will see how that goes.

Just to make sure everyone is on the same page....I am 11 weeks along as of this past Saturday. I went to the doctor on Friday because I just didn't "feel pregnant" because some of my symptoms seemed to have gone away. But, once I went to the appointment, I heard the heartbeat and saw the little "turtle" and everything was fine. I have an appointment tomorrow, but it's just an entrance OB appointment (basically questions and expectations). So I doubt I'll have anything new to post. BUT, they will be using the doppler to hear the heartbeat so I am going to try to record that and maybe post it on here. I'm not showing at all yet, but when I do start, I will post pictures.

Hmmm....I don't think there's anything else. But if you want to know something, just post it in a comment and I'll let you know. :)

Have a fantastic Monday!
