11w+6d...On the 21st I had my first ultrasound. Baby wasn `t moving around but had an arm up and looked like it was waving at us and just hanging out. We heard the heartbeat, 167 bpm. It was so exciting! I measure accurate to my date 8/8/08. Just 2 more visits and we find out the sex! Keeping fingers crossed for a boy, but would be happy with a healthy baby girl :)

15w+6d...So, we had an appt. on Monday, the 18th. Heartbeat was 157. I need to drink more water, Dr. said like a gallon a day! I am used to drinking no water (except in my ice cubes!), so this will be a challenge. No movement yet, thought maybe once, but unsure. We scheduled the u/s for St. Patty `s Day, 3/17. I can `t wait to find out what we `re having!

17w+4d...I never thought I would say this, but, I miss working! I have been so bored lately... I left my full time job with SEPHORA end of October to try freelancing & photoshoots for printwork on my own but it isn `t steady work. I am going to freelance for Prescriptives starting in April. I worked for them before, its a good line. I `m gonna need the spending money for baby :)We have 2 more weeks until we find out what we are having. We have a boy name picked out..... Aithen Thomas Nelson (Athon, Aethon~ not sure how we are gonna spell it yet?). We have thought of Nikki or Naomi for girl names.... I have a feeling its a boy though :)

18w+3d...On the 17th I have my ultrasound to find out what we are having. I hope the baby lets us..... I am still having cravings that change every week. I want pineapple, strawberries and gummi bears and everything bagels! mmmmm..... Having trouble sleeping. I find I still wake up on my stomach sometimes. I am having the hardest time sleeping on my side b/c my arm falls asleep! I don `t know what I am going to do...

IT `S A BOY!!! 19w+4d...We are so excited! Everyone has been saying `It `s going to be a girl ` because the heart rate was 167 & 157. The old wivestales aren `t always true!

20w+4d...I can `t believe I am half way! It has gone by so fast! I have gained 16 lbs. so far :( I freaked out this past weekend because my feet were swollen like balloons, I was on them all day! I am also starting to get a little uncomfortable when trying to sleep.....Aethon (we decided on this name for sure) has been moving around more these past 2 days, and that makes me happy.... I also have been getting the spare room organized for him, and I have bought so many things for him! Baby clothes are too cute!

27 weeks today...I am feeling a lot of movement. I am enjoying the pregnancy so far, but excited its almost over (less than 3 months!)... Its starting to get hot here, mid 90's already and probably going to hit 100 in a week. Thats what sucks about living in Arizona, but I would rather live in dry heat than humidity!!! I have my 3-D ultrasound and glucose screening on the 15th. I hope all goes well, I am afraid i gained like 10 more lbs. I have already gained 24, and i was pretty overweight to begin with.... The baby shower is set for June 21st. The theme is "Duckies".
