You guessed it! We have booked our vacation for this summer! We are going on a cruise to Mexico. This is our first time to go on a cruise so we are pretty excited! I can't wait to just relax! Keith is excited because there is no Internet and phone service! This will probably be the last vacation alone for a while so we are going to make the best of it! We will be doing a lot of relaxing and eating while we are on the boat!
Well, we had the second doctor's appointment. I guess it would really be the first since it is the first time we got to see the doctor. Today, we got to hear the baby's heartbeat....which was amazing! Dr. Partridge said the heartbeat was around 150 beats a minute. If you wanted to guess what the baby would be by the heartbeat, that is borderline. She said it was a good steady heartbeat which was a good sign. After hearing the heartbeat, it makes it seem more real that there is actually a baby in there! lol I go back to the doctor in 4 weeks.
I have been real busy the past couple of weeks and so I have been doing a bad job of keeping my blog updated. Since spring break is coming next week, I hope to get some posts in! However, I have exercised the past 3 days! Go me! Until then, have a good one!
Well, we just got back from our first dr. appointment. It was pretty uneventful. They just got medical history and all the fun blood work! My mom can tell you how well I love needles! They started to draw blood in my left arm and the blood flow stopped! UGH! So that means they had to try to draw from my other arm in which I thought I was going to die! The nurse kept asking if I was ok and I told her I was fine. I just didn't like needles! By the time this is over with, I will probably like needles. Since I had to go through all that torture, I treated myself to an ice cream cone and sweet tea from McDonald's! (The nurse said one caffeine is ok a day)
Our baby is due October 4. Today, I am 9 weeks and I go back to the doctor March 16th and then I will get to hear the heartbeat! The nurse said that I need to exercise 30 minutes a day and to eat plenty of carbs and protein to help with the sick feeling. One interesting thing I have found is when I eat Chick-fil-a the night before, I don't feel as sick the next morning! :) She said that I was doing really good and that there didn't seem to be any problems.
Of course Keith had to have some humor on this visit. When, we started walking in, I told Keith that I would have the baby here and he said that will work great because his route is around that area of town and that he will just stop in periodically to check in on me when I go into delivery!! I don't think so! He also couldn't believe all the pregnant women in there but I told him we are at a women's center!
Well, I better go and take in some carbs and protein and head to Mom's to eat Chicken spaghetti! I will update soon again!
Since Keith and I are HOG fans, this baby has no chance!! Mom bought this little tee for our baby and which Keith's eyes just lit up when he saw it!! In his mind thinking for a boy but I can see this precious little shirt on a cute little blonde headed girl with a red headband or bow? What do you think? Go Hogs!!
Well, as you can see we have some work to do. We have decided to use our office for the nursery. So that means some cleaning/organizing/getting rid of to do! As you can see on the wall to the right is Keith's wall of fame!! I don't know where that will be going just yet! You can't see in the picture but to the left is where Speedy's cage is. Speedy will be moving in with Keith's mom Janet for a little while because he can't stand the sound of crying or screaming kids! Once we find out what we are having, we will be painting the room in which Keith is thrilled about!!
I have always wanted to start a blog and planned on starting one once we were expecting our first child. So you have guessed right! We are expecting! Our first child is due the first part of October. We are very anxious but maybe a little nervous at the same time. Tomorrow is our first doctor's appointment. I will be updating the blog tomorrow night once we get back from the doctor. Until then, may God bless you!!
