Week 14

We went to Dallas this weekend for Matt's Birthday! Had a great time- it was nice to see Matt's family.

We are officially in the "nesting" mode of the pregnancy! Matt is working on getting new windows for the nursery and office. I'm cleaning out closets, bathrooms and getting organized. This is the part that I really enjoy!

We are on a waiting list for John Knox Presbyterian daycare. I have a few friends who have their babies in this daycare and they are very pleased. I'm still looking for some others to compare, but feel good about John Knox.

I'm feeling really good overall, besides the usual aches and pains. I'm not feeling the baby yet, but I hope to soon. I really want to get as much done as I can before 30 weeks, as I have heard I will get very tired towards the end of the pregnancy. My goal is to have the nursery done in September, but we'll see how it all goes!

Matt and I feel so blessed and I still pinch myself sometimes that this is really happening. God is good!

Week 13

Week 13 has been great!

We saw the doctor yesterday and everything is going good! Our baby had a 157 bpm heart beat and has really grown. Dr. Nilson saw a little "something" between the legs, so we still don't know the sex for sure!

My friends and I at work have been having some fun guessing the baby's sex. We did the old wives tale of taking a nail and seeing which direction it went to find out the sex- it said boy and then girl. The lunar calendar says a boy, so who knows for sure!

We are going to Dallas this weekend to celebrate Matt's Birthday!

I'm still feeling good-more energy and I'm ready to start organizing and getting things around the house done.

We have a busy summer planned and it's going to be hot! I already told Matt to be prepared for a high electric bill this year! LOL!

Week 12

Awww, Week 12 is here!

We enjoyed a great Easter weekend! I'm feeling much better and have a lot more energy. I've been working out again and I'm not as sick.

We feel so relieved that week 12 is here and will see Dr. Nilson next Monday.

Thank you for your continued prayers!

Week 11

Hi all~

Today was another doctor's appt. with Dr. Nilson. We normally would not be seeing the doctor this often, but Dr. Nilson is watching us very closely.

The baby's heartbeat was 171 bpm and he is predicting a girl, but told me not to buy any paint yet! I think she was asleep today because we had to push on her to get her to switch sides. Dr. Nilson wanted to look at the spine and she was just not cooperating! Finally she moved over and everything looks great!

We'll be going back in 2 weeks! I've starting to spread the word at work and I'm just so excited. Matt is wonderful! He has been my rock during the last 3 months and I'm so thankful that God has giving me a wonderful husband and friend! Our journey has been long, but together we can get through anything.

Fear Not! This is my newest saying! Praise God and Happy Easter!

Week 10

Week 10 was a good week!

We met with our ob/gyn on Monday and he is so funny! Dr. Nilson is one of the top doctor's in Tulsa. Several of my friends see him and he has delivered all there babies. We saw our baby moving around and I could see the hands/feet/head/belly! It was just amazing. The heartbeat was 167 bpm and the baby is about 2 or 2.5 inches long!

I'm having some back pain and heart burn started this week, but it's nothing tums can't handle!

We are going to OKC this weekend for our niece, Baylee's Birthday! We are going to share the news with the rest of the family and I'm excited to tell everyone. My mom is taking me shopping for some pregnancy essentials too. I love shopping with my Mom!

We have another ultrasound on Monday morning so Dr. Nilson can check the baby for any abnormalities. Thank you for all your prayers! We are so close to being in the second trimester and I just read yesterday that at week 13 your chances for a miscarriage goes down by 65% at that point!

God is with us everyday and watching over us!
