the most amazing sound ever!

I awoke this morning to the door bell ringing, me in my bedhead and too small of a tank top went to the door to find that my doppler was here!!!! I was SOO excited! I sat right down and tried it out :) Zach loves it, he loves finding the heart beat and sitting there listening to it. We were playing with sweet tart..we would have the heartbeat and then talk to the baby and the baby would move lmao!!! For a minute we could hear both mine and the baby's heart beating together, it was the most amazing sound ever!!!! It nearly brought tears to my eyes :) It is so awesome hearing your babys beating heart but to hear your heart and your babys heart beating together is just breath taking. I had to record the sound with my camera to save it forever. I wanted to share it will you :) Sweet Tart is the one with the fast beat and you can hear mine (the slower beat) in the background. aww Im in love!!!! I hope you all find this as amazing as I do :)

17 week belly shots

17 week ob apt!

17 week OB apt!


I had my 17 week appointment today. It was the usual ob apt, urine test, weight, bp, and fetal heartbeat check. Everything went well. My blood pressure was at 114/56 and my weight is slowly going up. They tried getting sweet tarts heart beat using the doppler, we heard two beats and kept losing it so we couldn't get a reading lmao so the Dr got out the small little portable ultra sound machine to get a reading and still couldn't. The heart was beating nice and strong but the baby was moving all over lmao sweet tart wouldn't stay still long enough to get a nice reading. Dr B wanted me to come back in two weeks for my AFP quad screening done and then come back the following week for my 20 week ultra sound. I asked if we could just do the blood work and the us at 19 weeks when I go in for the quad screen..he told me no that the ultra sound has to be done at 20 weeks (whatever) so they let me do the blood work when I was in there today. I live an hour and fifteen minutes from the Ob's office and it is plain nuts to drive there for blood work one week and drive there the next week. So my BIG ultra sound is scheduled for 2:30 on July 14th, it is then that we will find out what we are having!!!!! 3 weeks from today and counting!!!!!! holy cow in three weeks I will be half way through the pregnancy, wow!

I am doing well, having crazy round ligament pains. I am starting to feel the baby more and more :) I will take and post my 17 week pictures tomorrow!!!!

16 weeks!

Sorry I am a day behind in my weekly update but yesterday Zach and I went to see kung-foo panda and then we came home and grilled out together. It was so beautiful here yesterday we had to set outside! Zach even took some 16 week pics outside to put in our pregnancy scrapbook.


So wow, 16 weeks! I am 4 months pregnant now and only 4 weeks shy of being half way through!!!!! I am feeling Sweet Tart more and more, right now the little flutters make me giggle! I find it so cute!!! I can't wait to feel full on kicks! I am doing well. I still have my days full of nausea and vommit, today being one of them. I am still only up 4 1/2 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight, I swear those 4 pounds are in my boobs alone lmao!!! My belly is getting rounder and rounder, I am starting to get little white stretch marks too..bring on the mommy marks! I will take them with pride!!! I have my next ob apt on monday at 2, I am having blood work done and the normal check up...at that appointment I will then find out when my next ultra sound is. I can't wait for my next ultra sound! I can't wait to find out what Im having!!!!!!! I hope I get to find out before my baby shower invites get sent out..my shower will be August 16th, oh I can't wait!!!!

home at last

ahhhhhh there is just NO place like home!!!! After a week of me(sweet tart) and my three furbabies at my inlaws house..I am finally home at last. The floors look SO beautiful, it was well worth it but goodness Im glad it is done. Now all that is left is painting the trim in the living room and laying down the corner round..oh and I have to make new curtains for the 6 windows in the living room so they match the new primitive decor. Whenever our stimulis check gets in Im going to buy a new rug for the living room to complete the touch :) It is going to look so perfect! Today Zach and I did some shopping for our little Sweet Tart hehe we love buying things for the baby!!! We bought the dresser/changer today, 3 baskets to go on the hutch that goes with the dresser (the hutch was bought last year), we picked up a packet of onsies, a layette set, a changing pad for the changer and two toys!! you know they still sell those fischer price phones from when we were little..the ones that you pull and the eyes move!!! totally got sweet tart one of those!!! lol. oh and a bib that says " I love daddy" aw!!! We try to pick up something for sweet tart each paycheck to get things bought and out of the way so that it is less to have to buy later. Our next big purchase is our travel system. YES I know I have a baby shower comming ahead of me BUT I couldn't ever put a dresser or travel system on my list and expect it to be bought for me, those things aren't cheap by any means. Plus things like that I feel better with having now..I am a plan ahead kind of girl. I always have been and always will be, but in the end of things I never end up behind or falling short because I have been planning such things for years. I have had the baby crib since last feb lmao and heck I had my wedding dress before being engagged and I had everything bought for our house by the age of 17.

I will be sure to take pics of the floors once the trim gets painted..not sure when that will be yet but right now our pretty new floors are against ugly wood trim that doesn't match lmao so you will have to wait a bit :)

OMG and today is FRIDAY! which means tuesday is almost here which means I am going to be 16 weeks pregnant, 4 months! holy cow!!!! Goodness Im excited!!! We picked up fathers day cards today and I pulled off picking out a sweet card for zach with him with me, hehe now I know how my mom always bought xmas gifts for us when we were with her...Moms are good! haha

p.s. do people read my blogs anymore?? I have two blogs below this one with 0 comments, and one of them has pics of my adorable little sweet tart. Im sort of saddend. :(

15 weeks

Im 15 weeks pregnant today!!! It is crazy to think that in 25 weeks I will be holding my miracle in my arms!!! I am almost half way there!!! yay! I am doing well. Im gaining weight right on track now, although eating is still hard. I have good days where I can eat and then I have days that every time I eat I feel like Im going to throw up. I am feeling my body stretch out now, and my boobs are growing even more lol. I went from a small 34 b to a full 36c! My boobs are full of stretch marks, FULL but those are my mommy marks :) My belly is still nice and clear of stretch marks (for now). I feel the baby move nearly once a day now, just teeny little flutters. I can't wait until then turn into full on kicks and flips :) I am so much in love with this little baby, all I can do is daydream about my delivery day and holding my baby in my arms! I can't wait to see my husband hold our little baby, I will just melt! He is going to make such a good daddy!!!!

14 1/2 wk us and ob apt update.

Hello everyone! I hope you all haven't missed me too much ;) Sorry I didnt' get on and post a blog right after my OB apt on friday but it has been so nuts and tiring. I had a horrid headache friday so all I did was lay around my mils house. Saturday we had a grad party to go to at my mother in laws sisters house, the guys took a break from the floors and came with us. I am still living with my two cats and dog at Zach's parents house. The floors look wonderful, lol zach made me a little video to bring home to show me. They are almost done, there is only 1/3 of the living room left then we have to wait for it to dry and cure and then I can move back home!!!!!! This weekend has been such a horrid week as far as weather goes, every single day we have had bad storms, trees are down every where, everything is getting hit by lightning and things are flooding. I am so tired of this horrid weather, Im ready for fall already!


So onto my ob apt. I had gained a pound since my previous appointment (yay) I was so excited to see that because my eating is back to crap, the headaches make my tummy turn so of corse I dont feel hungry. I have given in and taken tylonal, I know it is said to be safe but I really rather not take anything..it just makes me nervous. The US tech was snotty and didn't want to look to see what we were having :( sort of made me sad but I have a beautiful healthy baby and that is all that matters. I will find out soon enough. Sweet Tart was moving his/her little mouth like crazy lol it was soo adorable!!! The heart beat was at 157...I always love seeing that little flutter :) The baby has big long legs and is now weighing a while 3 oz!! After the ultra sound I saw my dr, they went over my lab results and checked my blood preasure. My BP was at 102/60 and all my labs turned out well. Everything is going great! I go back in three weeks for a regular OB apt and for more labs. Then Im assuming 3 weeks after that will be my us because I will be 20 weeks by then! I can't believe I will be 15 weeks tomorrow!

Here are 2 of my ultra sound pics, I am not at home with my scanner so I had to take a pic of my pics so they aren't great but they are better than nothing.
