Hunter Barrett has arrived! He was born Friday, February 22, 2008 at 4:45 pm. He weighed in at 7 pounds 5 ounces and was 20 inches long. He is healthy and beautiful! Congratulations to all the expecting mommies to be! Blogging~ 10/3/07 (19 weeks) I don't know what happened to my page =/ When it disappeared it came back missing half of my information. Bummer. Anyway, we get to find out the sex next Tuesday!! I am soooo excited! I am positive it's going to be a boy, I will be so shocked if it's a girl. I really don't have a preference either way though, since it's our first. It's just that my husband's family seems to breed boys, lol! We are also having a hard time deciding on a boy's name. We have a girl's name picked out but we just can't seem to agree on a boy's name! Fun Birthday Facts

Your baby's birthstone will be Amethyst (Sincerity) Your baby's Astrological Sign will be Pisces Your baby's Flower is Violet or Primrose (Violet, Sky Blue or Yellow) Your baby will be born in the Chinese Year of The Rat This time next year your baby will be 24 Weeks Old! Your baby will start kindergarten in 2013, be old enough to drive a car in 2024, finish high school in 2026, and will graduate from college with the class of 2030, give or take a year. Can you imagine?

10/10/07 (20 weeks) We had our ultrasound appointment today and learned we are indeed having a BOY!! The technician was 100% sure and she said she has never been wrong, and we have the pictures to prove it! It was really cute to watch my husband's reaction when she told us the sex, I thought he was going to go through the roof! He said he "didn't care either way" but of course he was secretly hoping for a boy. =) We are so excited!! 10/15/07 I think we have finally decided on a name. After months of deliberation we have chosen Hunter Barrett. Can't wait to meet him! 12/4/07 (28 weeks) We had the much anticipated glucose test for gestational diabetes today. The orange sugary drink wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Since I couldn't eat or drink anything past midnight I was pretty grouchy by the time we got to the doctor's office. The nurse took two viles of blood from my arm for the GD test. I found out that I don't have GD and I scored a 100 on the scale from 70-140. Nice to have one more test out of the way. If I'm not mistaken, the next test is Strep B (which they need a swab from "down there") Yikes! 1/18/08 (34 weeks) I had another doctor's appointment today. She said the baby is head down but facing up. At least he is head down, I am really glad to know he is getting ready to come out! There is a good amount of fluid in there so it is pretty unlikely that he will turn into the breech position. She also said she thought weighs over 4 pounds now, which will make him a good size when my due date rolls around. I weighed 7 lbs 5 oz when I was born, so I am thinking he will be somewhere around there. At my next appointment in two weeks we are doing the strep b test and she will check to see if I am dialated. I can't believe my due date is less than 6 weeks away. This pregnancy has gone by so fast! He will be here before we know it! 2/1/08 (36.5 weeks) I am going to be going to the doctor every week now. At my appointment today she checked my cervix and even though I am not dialated yet, I am 80% effaced. She is guessing that he weighs between 5 1/2 - 6 pounds right now and his heart beat sounded really good. She also said she really doubts that I will make it to my due date (Feb 27th)! I was also tested for GBS so I will hopefully get the results for that next week. I just can't believe how soon he will be here! 2/8/08 (37.5 weeks) At my doctor appointment today she checked the level of amniotic fluid around the baby which looked really good. She also checked my cervix again, I'm still about 80% effaced and am now 1 cm dilated. I am going back on Tuesday and she said she is going to "stir things up" a bit next time. Sounds a little painful! I also got my GBS test results back and it is negative. 2/9/08 I lost my mucous plug today! One more step in the right direction! 2/19/08 (39 weeks) I had a doctor's appointment today and they scheduled me to be induced on thursday! It looks like I am going to be a mommy by this weekend!!!
