Hello!!

I am pregnant with my first baby. My hubby and I have been together 15 years. We started trying to coneive earlier this year...We thought it took forever, but I am now learning that 5 months is quick! I am currently 11 weeks pregnant. We have had several Ultrasounds...I am learning that my Doctor loves to give them. (AWESOME). We just had one yesterday and the baby was very active, my doctor said I should be able to feel him/her soon. She set up another ultrasound next week so we can hear the heartbeat...we can see it and it is fast and beautiful...Now we just want to hear it!!! It will be the best Birthday present ever...to hear my babys heartbeat!! I turn 30 next week!!! OMG!

I can not wait to meet this lil one; we have waited a long time for this!!!

Saturday, 10 Nov

Let's see... I am now 16 weeks preggo...And really starting to show. Actually I don't think I can hide it. It is very exciting and scary at the same time.
I was on bed rest for 2 weeks due to a low lying placenta. That has now fixed itself. This coming Monday I have my AFP test. I am bit nervous for that...and very anxious to get the test results back.
At my 15 week scan my Perinatal Specialist noted an Echongenic Bowel with the baby. This is most likely caused by my bleeding from the low-lying placenta. (The baby swallows the blood and it show brigt on the scan)...It is also a marker for Downs. So, my hubby and I are obviously nervous.
I am feeling very good. I get tired if I over do it, and I have terrible heartburn.
I will follow up back up soon!!

Friday, 16 Nov

*Sigh* I got the call from the Dr's office that I have been waiting for all week. My AFP test has come back NEGATIVE for Downs or Spinal Bifida. I cried as soon as I heard the goods news. The marker for the echogenic bowel really had me so scared...
I am 17 weeks today!!

Sunday, 25 Nov

Well today I am 18 weeks. I have felt a few flutters at night, and I thought I felt a thud the other night when I woke up to go potty----been doing that at least twice a night!
I have been feeling good...and of course still get tired pretty quickly. I a little nervous about weight gain, my Dr was not happy about me putting on 8lbs so far...ugh...but I am trying to be more active. I am sure being on bed rest for 2 weeks didnt help my metabloism.
We have another Dr appt on the 6th with the perinatal specialist and than an OBGYN appt on the 10th. Can't wait to see our little girl again!!!

Thursday, 13 Dec

Update time!! Last week I went to Perinatal Specialist and was told that my cervix was short and that I measured 3.1 (The norm is 3.5).

This Tuesday the 11th I went to see OBGYN and she said that as long as I was above 3.0 she was not concerned. However she wanted me to start moving around more and getting more excerise...I have gained abput 20 lbs. eeek

Today the 12th, I had a follow up with Perinatal specialist for my cervix. My measurements today came back at 2.8; which is well below the 'Norm'. I am not on bed rest until next Thursday the 20th. If my cervix gets longer at least above 3.0 i will still need to stay on bed rest but willmost likely not need surgury. Today they had me hooked up to test for contractions and I did not have any. So Dr was very happy!!

I brought my mom with me to see baby at Perintatal office, and I am so glad I did. She was great, and asked a lot of questions that I didn't even knwo to ask...that is what moms are for. (My mom had many pregnancy issues as well)

We got a sneak peak with a 3D U/S...Got to see my little ones face!! very cute!! She still had her little legs crossed at her ankles and kept putting her hand sin her face. I think my mom was in shock...as they didn't have these things when she was preggie with me!

I will follow up again soom!! Wish me luck my Cervix gets longer!! GO CERVIX!! (never thought I would say that LOL)

Monday, 24 Dec

Today is Christmas Eve...Still on bed rest due to my short cervix. It has gone from 2.7 to 3.4...Dr. is keeping me on house arrest until the 4th, than he will re-measure again. Hopefully my pesky cervix will lengthen permantaly. I really want to start getting up and around. I have put on about 22lbs...EEKK I am not as worried about the extra weight, more the fact that I have not been active for most of this pregnancy...I don `t want to be too winded during labor!! I have been feeling Sweet Pea a lot lately. I get nervous when I don `t feel her.Had a cold this past week...now the darn cold is in my chest...So, I ave a wicked cough and my throat is getting sore again!!Well, I have been laying low for awhile, now I am going to get up for about an hour and make more cookies!!MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Monday, 7 Jan

Today is my 24 Week Doctors apt (HAHA Not that I do not see another Dr allmost every week). But today is my OBGYN Appt...I am a little nervous as today I am suppposed to do my Glucose Tolerance Test...and of course get weighed!! Gettiing weighed actually freaks me out more, as being on bed rest for the last4 weeks...doesn `t make it easy to stay fit!! Wish me luck....

Friday, 11 Jan

25 Weeks TODAY!!I took my glucose test on Monday...and I passed with flying colors. I also got a negative for my pre-term test!! I spoke in length with my Dr about Strep B, and how I WANT and NEED antibiotics regardless of how I test at delivery...This is just a preccaustion!!!! I have a good friend of mine that her 7 week old daughter is in NICU with Menegitis due to strep B...and my friend tested negative a week before delivery!!My cervix is down to 2.48 the lowest it has been!! Dr has me on STRICT bed rest...I go bcak on the 17th for another follow up...Baby is doing great..and kicking and moving around like crazy!! She is going to be such a handful!! LOVE HER SO MUCH

Friday, 18 Jan

Okay well tomorrow I will be 26 weeks... Time flies when you are having fun!! Or lay around staring at your walls (Love bed rest...NOT) LOLOkay, so I went to Perinatal Dr today and cervix has lengthen to 2.6 from 2.4...So, not great but getting better!!Hubby went with me and got to see Sweet Pea...she was very active. The tech tried to see if she was `Practicing breathing ` but we didn `t catch her in the act if she did....I guess they start at this point. In a few weeks she should be doing it all the time.Dr still have me on bed rest. He wants me to hold off until 8 weeks...like I really have control LOL... He told me at least 8 more weeks on bed rest...I told him no problem...She is the boss...I already made it 6 weeks straight what is another 8 LOL!!!I go back next wednesday for a follow up and a fetal fibretin test!! JOY JOY

Thursday, 24 Jan

Well I went to Perinatal Dr again today. Had a Fetal Fibrecton test and checked my cervix again. I get the test results back tomorrow on the FFN test. My cervix is shorter!! I am now down to the lowest 1.9. The Dr has me on Terbutaline to slow/stop contractions that are thinning out my cervix. This medicine is makingme very jumpy and shaky. I have had such an issue with sleeping...I am afraid this will seriously hinder that more. I have to take one 2.5mg tablet every 8 hours!! Dr has assured me that baby will be fine! Poor little sweet pea. She is getting big. They didn `t tell me her weight today, but told me I should find out at next weeks scan (27 weeks). We did catch her `Practicing ` her breathing today. So cute! She was again going crazy on the monitor and does not care for being constricted by the bands!!My baby shower invitations went out today!! I am just hoping no labor before shower on 3/1/08. i can not wait to see what the girls have planned.I also recieved an email that my Changing table will be here Monday!! whoo hoo... Floors are going to be installed this Saturday...than we (Hubby) can start decorating!!!My friend had be baby on Sunday!! She just sent me pictures...so beautiful!!

Friday, 25 Jan

Got my test results back for the Fetal Fibrecton test... NEGATIVE!! WHOO HOOOGetting super excited about the nursery! The crib and changer should be here on Monday (If BRU didn `t screw it up) and the floors get put in on Saturday!! Okay...off I go back to bed to bake baby!!

Thursday, 31 Jan

I am really freaked out today. My mom had to re-take her mammogram scan today, and it came back that she does have a nodule. They are having her go in next Wednesday for a biopsy. i am just so scared for her.Please add her to your prayers!!

Daddy finsihed the Changing Table/Dresser today!! Check out the knobs...so much better than the wood knobs it came with...don't ya think!! Now it is onto decorating....hmmm on bed rest (no easy task I am sure)

Monday, 4 Feb

At my Doctors appt on the 28th my cervix was up to 2.2...so some improvement since I have been on the terbutaline. I am begining to get the worst case of heartburn. I am so miserable. I have tried....tums, aloe, baking soda and Zantac. I just can not get any relief...Actually the only thing that does help are milkshakes...but I seriously can not eat them everyday!!!Going to see OBGYN on MOnday for 28 week check up and to discuss Rh Shot...than going to Perintatal Dr on Tuesday to remeasure cervix!!!

Sweet Pea - 28 weeks!! Love my little girl so much!!!!!!

Tuesday, 5 Feb

Well, went to OBGYN on Monday and all is good. She is having me take another Glucose test on the 19th...I guess this is due to my weight gain... 9lbs this month!! OMG!! I passed the other one...so I hope all goes will with this one.I went to Perinatal Dr today to have my crvix re-measured. Still 2.2, but as long as it doesn `t get any shorter...I am a happy girl! I am still on bed rest... 6 more weeks until Dr re-evaluates my bed rest status. I hope to be able to be more active...I am so weak!!My heartburn has been out of control, but since I upped my dose of Xantac yesterday i am feeling so much better!!!Baby Shower is 3 more weeks away!! Oh and we haave scheduled a 3D/4D ultrasound this coming Saturday!! Can `t wait...bring the whole family!!!!!!!!

LOOK WHO'S KICKING SCANS!!!

Wednesday, 13 Feb

I am 29 Weeks today (2days before 30)Went this past weekend for a 3D/4D ultrasound. So awesome. Too bad sweet pea was putting her hands and feet in her face...this was distorting the picture. It was justreally awesome letting my parents and hubby `s parents...and my sis(that drove all the way down 3 hours) to see it!!I went to my Perinatal Dr today. He did another Fetal Fibrectin Test...NEGATIVE!! So, I will be labor free for at least another 2 weeks.As for cervox...down to 1.5!! So, he is keeping me on my Terbutaline and extending my bed rest to 37 weeks. So, 8 more weeks of BED REST!!I can `t complain...she is healthy and doing great. So, I am all about keeping her that way!!!

Sweet Pea - 30 Weeks!!

Thursday, 21 Feb

Well, I am 30 weeks! Went to OBGYN yesterday and took my 2nd glucose test...still waiting to hear test results. I did however learn that my ketones were high and that I need to eat more (I can `t win) I only gained 1 pound so Dr was happy about that...(Again...can `t win)I went to Perintatl Dr today and my cervix has measured 1.7; a little better than last week. They also did the baby measurements and she is 3.6 pounds!! Getting so big! I was told that after 34 weeks I can attend birthing classes!! Whooo hooo

Saturday, 8 Mar

Well I am 33 Weeks!! whoo hoo...It has been a very long road thus far.I went to OB and PN this week, took a few tests. I had to have a liver enzyme/liver function test due to a rash that decided to overcome my body (Itchy and insane, I am thinking it is PUPP....which is hormone induced and no cure!! Nothing like bed rest and itching LOL) I also had another FFN test that came back negative...so that gives me a nice 2 week window for no labor...I think that is the last FFN test I will get, as I read no more after 34 weeks.I am still going to be on bed rest until week 37 APRIL 4!!!!!!! Hmmm...that sounds like a nice birthday 4-4-08!!, maybe she will come than? plus my sis will be in town!!I had my baby shower this past Saturday. Our family abnd friends out did themselves. We seriously have nothing to buy, and if we do I think all the Gift certificates will cover it!!I hope to go shopping after my bed rest, hopefully she will stay put so that I can get the final touches together.I am going to start washing all of her new clothes this week...and pack the hospital bag!! I can `t believe the time is getting near!! WHOO HOOOO

Wednesday, 12 Mar

Okay, so cervix is down to 0.7!!!!! Dr is not freaking out, but says stay lay down and no activity!The bigger the baby gets the shorter the cervix....So, I am just going to roll with the punches....Dr said my cervix could hold me till 39 weeks, but most likely at 37 weeks when he takes me off Terbutaline, it will only be a short matter of time before she is here!!! I am super excited about that!! But not excited about LESS activity...Oh well really only 3 more weeks.

Monday, 24 Mar

Holy Heartburn!!I am having a very hard time sleeping due to this heartburn issue. I learned quickly that Chocolate is a big no no...but I am still weeding through the rest of the food groups...Even water is a nightmare, and if I don `t drink enough...than on come the contractions!!Complaints - LOL: Heartburn, Numb and tingly arms, hands and fingers, trigger finger, back pain and exhaustion, baby getting stuck under my ribs, peeing constantly, constipation!! and...BED REST!!On to the wonderful things: Little Sweet Pea is so active and such a character...I can just tell. I can `t wait to meet her. She is growing perfectly and I couldn `t ask for anything more. I love feeling her swish and move around...I love laying with my hubby chatting about what we thing she will look like and who `s traits she will take...and just the excietment of having her and all the new experiences we will get to have because of her!Hubby for the past few weeks has been stressed about baby...now he is begging me to get off bed rest and have her already...First I though that it might be becsue he is over handling all the house hold duties, but now I I realize that he truely just wants to meet his little girl!! I see him in the nursery all the time re-folding things, wiping down furniture and admiring his little girls room.Can `t wait to meet you Emma!!We are going to the Drs this coming Wednesday for cervix check...But on April 1st we go to both OB and Perinatal Dr. At Perinatal Dr the baby wil be measured and we will learn her weight and hopefully pardon me from bed rest...and at OB I am hoping to discuss birthing options and perhaps...shall I say it INDUCTION? LOL

I AM 6 MONTHS!!!

I am planning to sneak off the couch and go to a 'Yoga for labor' class I already paid for months ago...hee hee. I will keep my activity to a minimum and then spend the rest of the day in bed. But I really wanted to take this class and I really don't want to waste that money. Then tomorrow night my husband's brother is having his engagement party, so I will slip off to that as well. I can't pass up free food. My Dr. wont be pleased, but I figure, walking from the car to the restaurant, or sitting on a mat at yoga for a few hours aren't going to make this baby come out early. What will make him come out early is a stir crazy mama who is frusterated and uncomfortable. So I figure we are even better off doing just a thing or two. If it were earlier in my pregnancy I wouldn't not take any risks at all! But at 34 weeks I feel like I am making safe choices for him and me. After Sunday, I have nothing planned for a whole week. I will be getting plenty of couch and bed time then.
And now you've made me want an omelet!

SchoppeSweetheart - Saturday, 15 Mar
Congrats on the neg. FFN test! I am feeling very ready to do all of this. Feeling a little nervous about labor and all the painful stuff that goes along w/ that (stuff I am remembering from my first) but mostly I am ready to be holding my baby. Today my SIL is getting married so we have to go to all that stuff and yesterday when I was off my feet (like I'm not supposed to be) I was contracting a lot more, so hopefully today I won't be doing that. Anyways, have a good weekend!

2andfnu - Saturday, 15 Mar
My husband actually has a hotel room at the beach on business and the boys and I are going out there after the baseball games tomorrow afternoon and spending the night. He will be working, but it will be a nice change.

mitzumama - Saturday, 15 Mar
I am pooped! I do think the medicine might be making me more tired than usual. It's that or else 34 weeks is just taking all my energy. The med's haven't completely stopped my contractions, but it has made them less regular and they aren't as strong. Today I can hardly keep my eyes open, but I can't sleep either. What's a girl to do. I am physically pretty comfortable, all things considered. I just hope I either begin to feel better or I have this baby. Going even a few more weeks feeling this exhausted and stuck in bed unable to actually sleep would in fact make me loco. And this baby deserves a sane mama. All my babies do. My toddler is being very cute and saying, 'mama I no leave you. You feel bad. I no leave you feel bad. I make you feel good. I kiss you mama. I no leave you, okay'? He is the most wonderful little joy to me. His sister is pretty alright herself. Yesterday I went to lay down on the couch and she jumped up, ran upstairs and brought down my favorite blanket to wrap me up. It's good to have such sweet children reminding me what all this hard work is for.

first-time-mommy-to-b - Saturday, 15 Mar
hehe 'Paint that door again'! hehe I love it! Its just so weird, I have always been the most laid back person in the world and this past few weeks I am chomping at this bit wanting to work on the baby room! But I totally understand what you mean about feeling bad where you just don't want to ask, and I'm not even in your situation by any means! I feel bad because you are right, they are doing the absolute best they can and more and more love is going into that room than anyone will ever know. They just want to do it right for her and I just want to get it done! haha!

I am sure you are not nearly that big!! And besides, you have an excuse...you are on bed rest I just gain for the ole' heck of it! hehe But its a small price to pay for a precious little girl! I would gain 100 more in a heartbeat if thats what it took!

Wow!! Moving on to folding clothes and packing a bag, that makes it seem so real, doesn't it? So do the Drs. think you will go into labor really quickly after you are lifted from bedrest? When are they letting you get up...37 weeks? I wish I could count on my little one coming before her due date! I am soo excited to meet her!! :) Well, keep me posted!

mitzumama - Friday, 14 Mar
How is today treating you?

div77 - Friday, 14 Mar
Hows your bedrest? Is it better knowing its only a short time or is the wait killing you? Are you done w/ buying all those supplies you'd need for the hospital? I need a nursing pads, gown, cream and all those breast related items, hows birthing class going?

div77 - Friday, 14 Mar
oh my Heather, 3 weeks!! Thats excitign and scary and 0.7, oh my, 3 weeks is almost here! Hows your pupp? is it bugging you still or slightly better? How are ILs these days? Todays hubbys bday and have no energy to get him a gift, this past week I really feel preggo! Tmrw we may have a bbq getogether w/friends, looking fwd to the weekend, started painting again, Ill upload it when Im done.

usagi - Friday, 14 Mar
Only 3 more weeks? Your time on bed rest is flying by!!! (or not.... LOL) Wishing you continued sanity for these last few weeks. :o)

tannersmommy - Friday, 14 Mar
Okay, what is trigger finger. It sounds dangerous! I wish I knew how big my baby is, dumb doc won't give me anymore u/s. I'm sure she's huge with all the chocolate & gummy worms i've been eating. I'm going to give birth to a chocolate gummy! I just can't stop myself, and the girl scouts have been at every store I've been to lately. I even tried to sneak in the back door at the grocery store but they had a table there too. Oh no I just realized I only have 3 gummy worms left! Oh well. Hope your having a good time laying down, how do you keep your hips from hurting? I almost can't stay in bed all night mine get to hurting so bad. Sorry about the PUPP, it's probablly worse for you since you are on bed rest and have nothing else to do. Anyway I need to go tend to Tanner he has been in bed for 1 1/2 hr and began shouting so I told him I was going to close his door if he didn't stop and now he's crying. Ack silly time change has totally thrown him off. It wouldn't really matter but he doesn't want to get up in the morn & then were late. Anyway gotta run.

first-time-mommy-to-b - Thursday, 13 Mar
Oh my!! Well at least the baby is a good weight, if she does come early she will still be healthy! Have they given you any steroid shots or anything for her lungs just in case or are they not worried about it at this point? WOW! Only like 3 more weeks and your little angel could be here! You must be getting so excited!! Especially to get off bed rest...I don't know how you do it! I am soo glad your appointment went well! Do you have to go every week?

As far as not being able to decorate the baby room...I think it is more than driving me crazy at this point! I find myself getting very grumpy about it. My dad and my husband are actually ones building the room (they actually built our whole house) I know they can do it...but with it only being the two of them and only being able to work on it on the weekends its just taking WAY longer than projected!! They have been telling me 'two more week, just two more weeks' for about 6 weeks now! I HATE it!!! My dad took this week off work to specifically work on the baby room and he just has not gotten ANYTHING done, I can't even see a difference in it and I am getting really frustrated about it. I know he is working so hard and there is alot more to it than meets the eye but I don't know how much longer I can wait! And on top of that my baby shower isn't going to be until April 5th, which is right at 37 weeks for me...hehe All this waiting, I just don't know what to do with myself!! :)

I went to the Dr. today and I about cried, I have gained 10 lbs in 2 weeks!!! OMG what in the world?! hehe BUT he said the baby had a big growth spurt and I am retaining alot of water, which I figured as much since my ankles dissapeared this week. hehe I love it!

Anyway, be sure and keep me posted!! Sorry to vent a little... hehe

SchoppeSweetheart - Thursday, 13 Mar
I am feeling ok. So do they think you will have the baby soon since your cervical length is so short? If not, only 3 more weeks left of bed-rest, not too bad. I think I have 4 more weeks left and then I'll be 37Wks and will stop getting my 17P progesterone shots and that will put me into labor. Almost there! And good to hear baby is big and doing well. She will be fine!!!!!

mitzumama - Thursday, 13 Mar
I go to the Dr. tomorrow. She will decide if I need to stay on bed rest then. I haven't been able to stay down at all so far. My daughter has to be woken up at 7:00 am for school, my son wakes up shortly after and wants his 'viblios' on. He means to say 'videos', but it's not even that, it's his morning PBS shows, you know Sesame Street and such. The Dr.'s were going to give me what you're on to stop contractions, but I was asking what the side effects might be and they said that until I get used to it I'll feel like I've drunken too much coffee. I don't drink caffeine even when I am not pregnant because I have a really hard time with that feeling. So I asked if there were any other options, sure enough there was Nifedipine, a blood pressure drug that also stops contractions, but with out side effects. 45 minutes later I was fine and they sent me home. i am supposed to keep taking it regularly until week 36. Then they say that baby can just go ahead and come along if he wants to. I hope he waits until at least week 28 and gives me a chance to get more ready for him. I do feel like once labor starts he will be out of here in no time. I get this sense that he wants out. My other two children would have stayed in there for ever if we'd let them. this guy has other plans. I think he wants out so he can start his campaign to rule the world!!!! LOL!

mitzumama - Thursday, 13 Mar
Well I spent some time in the hospital last night. They gave me something to stop contractions and monitored us for a while. Sent me home on low activity and medication. I am pretty tired today and I have to write one final paper for school before the term ends. I have until tomorrow to get it done, but I can't focus. AND... I am so constipated I could scream! But screaming might use too much energy, and they said low activity. Ironically, the lowest activity seems to be happening, or not happening, in my bowels. lol!

2andfnu - Thursday, 13 Mar
Hi! I am feeling pretty good except for my allergies are really bugging me so I am taking a nasal spray and sudafed which is yucky. Oh well, we don't have much longer to go! What is the plan? Are they going to induce you early? We are almost there!!!! One month from tomorrow I am scheduled.

jamiefaith - Thursday, 13 Mar
If i asked my dr to take me out becuase i was so uncomfortable, she probably would, but i can't be out of work for that long, we really can't afford it. But i may ask when i'm like 37 weeks, or 38 weeks. I cant wait 4 more weeks and i'll offically be full term. I know it must be hard being on strict bed rest, but at least you can be in the comforts of your own home. I would love that! It must be sort of scary knowing that you're cervix is trying to dialate though, but hey, at least you'll have an easier time with labor, once they let it dialiate it will probably just go so quick. TTYL...thanks...Jamie

sarahnicely - Wednesday, 12 Mar
SO WOW!!!!! I'm so interested in what happens from here. I'm not sure what the length of a cervix does...are you dialating at all??? Just thinning out?

I am super excited for you though...this pretty much means any time now!!! Did you almost fall off the table? I totally would have. I'm dreading the day they check me for dialation...I am so not ready! If someone were to tell me I'm completely thinned and dialated I'd probably faint. (of course I'm going with the idea, if they don't check I'm not dialating...lol)

OH, I remember you said the hospital you deliver at depends on the gestation...so does your dr just meet you at which ever hospital...and which dr delivers for you...the specialist or the regular dr.

I'm full of questions...

tannersmommy - Wednesday, 12 Mar
I hadn't heard form you in a bit so I was checking to make sure baby didn't come yet. But I read your post from today and it sounds like your still doing okay even though your about out of cervix. Hang in there! I'm glad your baby shower was so great, mine is Sat but I'm freaking out that no one will be able to come since the hosts didn't send out the invites until the end of last week. How sad would it be if no one showed up! Anyway hope your feeling okay and not too itchy.

mitzumama - Wednesday, 12 Mar
I just looked at your photos for the first time! You guys look so sweet.

mitzumama - Wednesday, 12 Mar
It's so exciting to hear you only have a few eeks left! Aren't you so relieved that your baby didn't come too early?! i just think it's amazing how many high risk pregnancies can make it to term safely now in days. I am so grateful. But some mommies can't stick out that bed rest the way you have. You've rocked it. I am looking forward to hearing about your newborn in just a few weeks!!!!!!

2andfnu - Tuesday, 11 Mar
This laptop is getting harder to use on my nonexistent lap!! We found a chair but we opted for a slimmer Lazboy rocker/recliner in a neutral color. I didn't know whether I wanted it in the nursery or living room. I finally decided that I would put it in the lliving room for now since I will be using it to nurse in about 8 times a day for a while. I want access to the world not to be cut off. We put a chaise lounge from the living room in our master bedroom for now so if I need privacy I can use that even though it won't be as comfy. We will switch out eventually and this rocker will be a reading chair in our room that we have wanted to put in there for about a year. We had bad weather on Saturday but Sunday was good. we had our picnic on Sunday. How are you doing?

We've decided to name the baby Gus McCoy Poulton. We considered the name for our son Charlie, but he just wasn't a Gus. This baby feels like a Gus. Our daughters name is Rain Victoria. We like the odd names in conjunction with the traditional ones. You don't hear the name Gus too much anymore, but it's a sweet little name. I can see our chubby little baby, with big brown curls, baby Gus, how sweet. Some of our family members hate the name, but it's not their baby, so they will just have to live with it. How about you? Have you picked a name yet?

Wow that is so wonderful!! You really deserve to be spoiled after your difficult pregnancy. I have been very fortunate with my only real problem (and its not even really a problem) but bad circulation. My hands turn dark purple and my feet turn stark white because of it sometimes. It hurts, but small price. hehe Was your childbirth class only 1 night? Ours is 6 weeks long! Yikes! hehe I know what you mean about getting very anxious!! I am the same way, I am soo ready for her to be here and terrified at the same time!!! Yes I am nesting!! It is unreal and its horrible b/c we are adding on a baby room and still have 2 more weeks before I can get in it to start setting up the nursery...not to mention I am starting to get tired so I am afraid I won't have the energy to do her room! But we'll see! Did ya'll ever decide on a name? Anyway, I am ready to turn in for the night but keep me posted on your little one! Hope you are feeling better and all of those annoying pregnancy alements ease up!!
