AT THE TOP OF THE HILL

20 Week Ultrasound


ITS A BOY! I saw his fingers and toes, he yawned, and he has a cute little nose.

While that news was exciting I now sit in the hospital. I went to get my sonogram and everything seemed to be going well THEN everything and everyone gets quiet. Tears start flowing down my face because  I KNOW SOMETHONG IS WRONG! My doctor tells me that I'm being admitted now. Hospitals especially the labor and delivery section when I'm not supposed to be in labor or delivering a baby this early scare me. Apparently the muscle that keeps the baby in is weak. I freaked out, burst into tears, and couldnt control myself. This is bar far the most scariest moment in my life. Bed rest it is. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Almost 1/2 tImE

Almost the beginning of the second half and it hits me....... I haven't bought anything zero zip nada! This definitely isn't the time to procrastinate at least thats what I keep telling myself. Think i'll start with pampers and wipes. The clothes that I have SOME HOW continue to keep shrinking ;-) too. Anyway 5 months seems like a long time but nahhh. Ive gained 10 beautiful pounds, my face slightly resembles a chipmunk with food in its cheeks but, our baby is healthy and thats all that matters. We've discussed baby names but somehow we haven't agreed on one just yet....Im almost sure this is a battle im going to lose!!  That's what my belly full of Bilbrey looks like from my point of view. Beautiful isn't it ♥

Another week has gone bye bye. :-)

 Let's see maybe I felt a tiny flutter but I'm not certain and if my little one did kick he/she hasn't done it again. But, daddy wears a size 15 and mommy a size 9 so I'm certain if nothing else our child will have FEET! Several people have given me books on what to expect, breastfeeding, and even one for picking names. Each day this journey becomes more of a reality and easier to adjust to.  I've been on a roller coaster of emotions this week but, I'm guessing thats all a part of this experience. Happy one minute and in the next crying while driving to my destinations. GOTTA LOVE THOSE HORMONES! On another note I' showing and glowing. 

Until next week

~17 WEeKs~

I'm getting closer to the halfway mark! Oh what a journey this has been.  Today Dr. Consentino did a routine check up and I got to hear the heartbeat.  He asked me if I could feel any movement yet (unfortunately no) but, as he listened to the heartbeat he said, "You may not feel it but, THAT CHILD IS MOVIN". He's a funny little old man and always full of surprises.  Still feeling nauseous but not as much as before. In 3 weeks we get to know what we are having. Will it be a boy? Will it be a girl? Anybody know if my nose gonna stop spreading bwahahaha!? Really though? Guess we'll get to start shopping pretty soon! 

~16 WeEks~

HaPpY NeW YeArS! Yesterday I turned 16 weeks!! Yaay my body is definately changing. I've noticed a few stretch marks here and there and the dark line on my belly is more noticeable. I haven't weighed myself but, I do know this CHICK is just a little bit THICK! I've noticed it's getting a little harder to catch my breath too and even harder to find a comfortable sleeping position. I can't say that I have any cravings yet but anything with spice is nice ...and the hotter the better! Next week I'll be heading to the doctor to get a check up. Hopefully (fingers crossed), I'll get an ultrasound and find out the sex!!  Only 24 more weeks to go BUT who's counting? ;-)

Can't wait to see what 2013 brings
Thanking GOD for another year and a beautiful blessing.
