Baby Pain

The baby seams to be growing so fast. These past few days have been very painful. A lot of cramps and other problems i wont go into detail about.

Last night the baby got real excited when vern was playing with my belly. He couldn't feel all the movements but i could. Its such an amazing feeling. The baby really loves his/her daddy.

Another appointment

I had another appointment last Wednesday. All my tests came back good and the baby's heartbeat is about 154 per min. Its amazing to hear baby Alex's heart knowing that he/she is growing inside me. The baby is such a wiggle worm. It took the doctor three times before she could hold down the heartbeat. At night baby Alex likes to sit on my right side and wiggle around. Its such a strange feeling. Almost like having butterflys. I'm 15 weeks along now, Just into my second trimester. The baby is about 4 inches long and somewhere between 3-6 ounces

Out next appointment is April 29th. We get to find out the sex of our little Alex. Our parents are most excited to start shopping. We still are hoping for a boy but everyone keeps telling us its a girl. We have our crib, dresser, stroller and car seat picked out. We should be picking everything up except the crib sometime this week. We have no room at our house so Debbbie, Vern's mom is going to store it for us.

I'm Pregnant!!!

So on January 19th (Vern's Birthday) we find out that I'm Pregnant. We are so excited to become parents. I can't help but smile at the thought of being a mommy. Ive waited so long.... well two years to be exact.

Our parents couldn't be happier. Debbie, Vern's mom is just ecstatic. She cried when we told her. This is going to be her first grand baby. As for my parents the are way excited as well. This will be #3 grand baby.

My sister happens to be pregnant right now as well. She is 7 weeks and 3 days ahead of me. Her and Chris are having a girl. So Preston gets to be a big brother. He is so cute about the whole thing. He'll go up to Carissa and lift her shirt and say "My baby sister" Give her a kiss and run off screaming... 2 year olds can be cute sometimes!! LOL!

Our due date is September 19th. A wonderful day it will be. Our friends Ben and Leslie are getting Married that day and both me and Vern are in there line. So lets hope I'm a week early.

I had my first appointment four weeks ago and everything is perfect. The baby is just the right size for being 10 weeks. Still can't tell the sex yet but we hope its a boy!!! We want the whole older brother going on.

I had another appointment two weeks ago to do some more tests. They measured my fluid around the baby and that is just where is should be. I have another appointment in 5 days.

I'll be 14 weeks tomorrow and I've already gained 10 pounds. You can see my bump but most people can't see all my weight gain. I sure can I went from a size three to a size 7. I know I shouldn't be depressed about it but I am. I'm just glad its the baby and not something else! :)

Well I'll sure to keep things updated on how the baby is doing. I'll also post some pictures.
