Baby ultrasound

I got a call around 11:00 yesterday canceling my appointment. It was rescheduled for May 1st. It really made me sad yesterday. But oh well. What can you do? Someone most have really needed my time slot.

Anyways, hopefully we will get to see our little peanut soon.

Baby wiggles

About 2 weeks ago I started to feel the baby moving. I have noticed the more active I am the more active it is. Last night it just had the wiggles. John was lucky and managed to have his hand on my tummy when it kicked. It was the first time that John has felt the baby move. The kick aren't strong, they are like little thumps inside. It is kinda cool. If I was moving a lot I wouldn't notice.

We find out tomorrow what we are having. It is really exciting.

Ultrasound

John just told me today that his boss isn't going to let him have the day off for our real ultrasound. I told him "this might be my hormones talking but you are going if your boss likes it or not." I am not going to be there by myself to find out what I am having.

I know I am not like my sister-in-law who had everyone there at the time of the ultrasound. They typically only let you and one other person in the room when you have the actual procedure preformed. More can come in after though. Joanne didn't care, she was going to have Roger, her parents and our parents there. I just feel that this is a time for just John and myself and I will not deal well with anyone else.

My blood pressure is already high. I do not need this stress. What in the hell is his boss thinking. He has kids, he should know that this appointment is important. I find out the sex of my little peanut that day. I can't imagine him not being there. I don't think I could find out by myself.

Anyways, I am going to pick him up when I get off of work and we are going straight to the doctors and I am going to take him right back after. Maybe I will get them all pizza after but John needs to be there.

Keeping moving

While at work it seems that everyone is concerned with what I am doing now that I am pregnant. Some don't think that I am doing enough and others thing I am doing to much. I talked to my doctor and she said I am on the right path.

Anyways, I have noticed that I am showing a little before I should be. Basically saying that my tummy muscles aren't what they should be. I am working on tightening them because I know the tighter they are the less my back is going to hurt later.

More baby info

So as I said before, we have seen and heard baby's heartbeat. I have yet to feel baby move. I can't wait for that. I lay there at night while John is asleep hoping to feel something. Occasionally I get scared at the bed shakes when the cat jumps up to play. Pudge, the cat, loves to sleep on the baby. When I am on my back she is right on tummy. And if I am on my side she is right where the baby would be. It is like she knows what is going on and wants to be a part of it. She doesn't leave my side most afternoons that I am home alone.

Back to baby, currently I have a changing table, a set of crib bedding (lamp and mobile included) and some toys. I am looking for a crib and just about everything else. I was really excited about getting my changing table. It is really nice and sturdy and only cost me $15. I got it at a consignment sale. There is another consignment sale coming up starting April 27th at Oaks Park. Here is some information on it.

Anyways, that is what is going on in my life and the life of my baby. Back to work so I can earn more money to spoil him or her. : )

Mommy's first post

So here it is. My baby's first blog. So I guess I should start from the beginning. January 12 came and went and nothing happened so I knew something was wrong. I took a test and found out that I was expecting. Daddy was very excited. I was scared. It meant a lot of changes in our lives and some of them I wasn't ready for. But I knew that with Daddy by my side we (as in all three of us) would be fine.

February 21 we had our first doctors appointment. That is where I fell in love with my doctor. Actually she is a Certified Nurse Midwife but I don't care. At the end of the appointment we did an in office ultrasound. I got to see our baby. Well actually a peanut with a heartbeat. And a good strong heartbeat.

March 21st we had another appointment and we actually heard the heartbeat this time. But we did learn one thing... We get our proper ultrasound on the 25th of April. That is the day that we will find out what we are having.

There is one thing though. We are not telling anyone the name of the baby. We have both picked out for the most part. Things may change but I doubt it.

Anyways, I do not have anymore information right now. Hopefully I will have more soon.
