Hello everyone! I am so excited about our first baby. My husband and I couldn't be happier or more nervous. I just had another doctors appointment today and she said that we may only need one ultrasound at 20weeks. I was wanting to see our baby before that! I've seen that many of you have already had ultrasounds....how would I go about getting more than one during our pregnancy?!

We are now less than a week from hearing our babys heartbeat for the first time! I can't tell you how excited and nervous we are! I will update on the 16th after our appointment. *After only 13 weeks, I can finally eat food and not get sick! Yea!

Got to hear the heartbeat this morning....it was the most wonderful thing I have ever heard! Our doctor said the baby has a strong heartbeat, around 153 bpm. She said the baby was also moving a lot and questioned wether or not I could feel the baby moving, I don't think I can....but then again this is our first and I don't really know what to expect! I have been having what feels like muscle twitches in my lower tummy, but I don't know if that's what I'm supposed to feel or not! =)

It's been about just over two weeks since we found out we were having a boy. It's definately a boy! My husband and I are very happy and proud of our little Cody Lee. I just can't wait to meet him face to face. He's definately a mover, his kicks are getting stronger by the day. We have another appointment in 5 days for a check up and hopefully everything will be status quo again!

I keep losing logs on this page, don't know whats up with that! Anyways, had another appointment today, this time along with hearing his heartbeat, she took out a tape measure thing and measured my belly. She was pleased with everthing. I am finally on the plus side with my weight gain. I am 3 pounds heavier then when I first got pregnant. My hubby and I had bets on how much I had gained...I won. I think he was being nice when he came in with a lower number!

Another appointment today that went fairly well. My doc told me I am measuring ahead of my due date and has scheduled an ultrasound for the 29th of this month to have him measured. Kinda freaks me out to think I may be a mom earlier than expected! I guess it's reality check time, I am really pregnant, I am going to be a mom, and might be a mom sooner than I thought! I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens at my appointment on the 29th....glucose testing done then too....I hear that's something to really look forward to!

The pic posted at the top of my page is of my belly at just over 27 weeks....sometimes I think I can't get any bigger, then I do! Two more days until the glucose test and to see how big I'm measuring again...hopefully I will be in the "normal" range rather than ahead of where I'm supposed to be!

Found out on Tuesday that I have gestational diabetes and that my iron levels are low. I go back in a week from today to do more testing to see how I am processing sugars and to start me on some iron tabs. My guess is that this is the reason I am measuring 3-4 weeks ahead of where I was thought to be. At my 28 week appointment I was measuring at 32 weeks. Crazy! I had my freak out session to my hubby after I got the call with the test results, but now I'm feeling better, still worried about my little guy though.

Had my 3 hour glucose test yesterday, hopefully we will find out the results soon. I am now I what I can only describe as an atkins diet because of the diabetes. Yumm yum! We had an ultrasound and he's looking so cute....they said 3pounds and 4 ounces of happy little boy! He is turned to head down and it's down low!! Still having problems with my bp, doc said any reading with my sys. above 160 or dias. above 100, that I'm going to have to be monitored in the hospital....lets hope I can keep this under control!!

Had another ultrasound yesterday and Cody is measuring a week ahead of schedule. They said he's 5 and a half pounds now and that he will probalby be between 7 and 8 pounds when we deliver. I've been having contractions off and on for about a week now, which the doc says is normal. I don't think I'm gonna make it to February 16th, but we'll see! I'm just happy that our baby is doing good!
