Hello~ I am 2mths pregnant and this is my third child. However, this will be my husbands and my first! We are so excited, including my kiddos. It seems that all of our family and friends are hoping for a little girl. But I personally don't have a preference. My 2 boys are wonderful and I would be fine with another little boy around here. Although a little girl would be fun too!! So we shall see. This pregnancy is completely different than with my boys. I had wonderful pregnancies with no ill symptoms. However, with this little one, I have been so very nauseated, no vomitting just feeling sick :o( I do have a little baby bump, so I will have to take a picture to post. I am also finishing up nursing school and will be done with that in Feb. So I am trying to focus on that as well, but with all the baby excitement, sometimes it's hard :o)

Dec. 30th: I am excited to be going to the doctor tomorrow. This will be my second visit and we are hoping we can hear the heartbeat. I will keep ya posted!!

Dec 31st: No heartbeat yet, only 9wks so hopefully our next appt! My appt today consumed of really nothing :o( kinda a waste. No physical or vag check, she just asked if we had any questions or concerns and how things were going. But still plugging along :o)

Jan. 10th: I just thought I would update a quick message :o) I am finally starting to show!! I will upload a picture I took the other night. I can't suck in my gut at all anymore. I am graduating from nursing school in 28days and I can't wait!! The only downfall is we have to wear these traditional white dresses, lovely right! Especially with this expanding belly :o) Oh well, I have worked too hard to get to this point, so I will wear my white dress with a smile and LOTS of pride!!

Jan. 23rd: So I am finally feeling better. Well as far as the nausea goes. However, I am still having issues with my sinuses. Oh and still having sleep issues. I am a stomach sleeper, so having to adjust to that. I have sworn I have felt the baby move or flutter as I call it, a few times. Even tho all the experts say you can't feel anything yet, I swear it was not a gas bubble,lol! I can't wait to feel real and full movements soon! Baby bump is getting bigger :o)

Feb 4th: (14wks) We had another Dr.s appt today and we finally got to hear our little bundle of joys' heartbeat!!! It was so amazing to FINALLY be able to relax and know that he/she is growing in there :o) Today was also with a Dr. that I had only met once. He delivered my youngest son because my doctor was out of town. So I literally met him hrs before my little guy was born and hadn't seen him since then. So today I saw him again (cuz my old doc retired) and I LOVED him!!! He is so great and caring! Such a relief!!!! We go back on March 10th for our ultrasound....YEAH!!! I can't wait to find out if we are having a little prince or princess!!!!

Feb. 11th(15wks): Today I had to take my hubby to the airport because he has to go on a business trip. He will only be gone a week, but I hate when he leaves. So when I got home from dropping him off I cried and cried. Then I watched some TLC and cried some more. Gotta love raging hormones that come with pregnancy!!!! I proceeded to do nothing today, hehe, just didn't have any motivation! However, it was a great day because I have felt my baby move all about today!! I love, love, love it!!!

March 9th(19wks): Tomorrow we have our ultrasound....YEAH!!! We are all so very excited to finally see our precious bundle of joy AND hopefully get to find out the sex as well!!!!! My belly is just growing and it feels great to finally "feel" pregnant! Tonight my hubby was finally able to feel our baby move, we just laid in bed and watched my belly bounce and the baby kick! It was so exciting :p

It's A BOY!!!!! We had our ultrasound today and it was quite obvious!!! My husband and my boys' are very excited!! I am a little disappointed that we are not having a girl, just because everyone thought it was a girl, I had kinda got my hopes up. However, I am so happy to be blessed with a healthy baby and I am very excited as well!!! Oh and my doctor had to send me out of the office for the u/s and the facility I went to does not print pictures out AND their machine was down to burn a cd, so we were not able to get anything to bring home and show off :o( However, thankfully I can have an ultrasound at work and get some pictures printed out!!

March 13th: So I went and picked up my ultrasound pictures on Tuesday. They also gave me the ultrasound report. Everything on the report said normal. However, in the conclusion it mentions that although my amniotic fluid is in the normal range, it is in the UPPER part of the normal range and they recommend I have a follow-up u/s in 4-6wks. So like anyone else would, I freaked out!! My husband kept telling me that I was stressing over nothing. So today I had my Dr's. appt and he completely eased my nerves about the amniotic fluid. He said that since it's in the "normal" range and I am not measuring bigger, he is not concerned. It was a great relief and music to my ears!! My hubby and I also went over some boy names last night and actually agreed on a few! My baby boy has just been moving all over the place and I LOVE IT!!!!

May 18th~ I can't believe it has been a while since I have updated, whew how time flies!! Well I am now 29wks pregnant with my little guy Colton Ryder! We had his baby shower yesterday and it was such a blessed day filled with love, family and great friends! Oh and yummy food, hehe! This pregnancy has been so different from my others. I have been so tired and it seems anytime someone gets sick, I get it too. I have had a stomach bug for the past few days and it has been NO fun!! I have also experienced my breast growing a lot faster with pregnancy as well. I had to buy new bras and go up from a B cup to a D cup. It was very frustrating to me to have to try on tons of bras for the right fit. I can only imagine what size I will be after my milk comes in,lol. However my hubby is loving every moment of it,lol!! We have also had a worrisome past week with Colton's size and/or my uterus size. So if you read in my post before when we had our original u/s the tech said we had a higher but normal range of amniotic fluid. My doctor was not concerned and said it would not be a concern unless I started measuring ahead of my weeks. So of course, my doc goes on vacation and I have an appt with my NP, which I love!! However, when she measured me, she said I was measuring 32wks along vs. 28wks?!?!?!? So she had us make another u/s appt to check everything out. Well since I am a worry wart and am fortunate to work in the hospital AND labor and delivery, I had our u/s tech do an u/s before our scheduled one just to ease my mind. So he did and he said my fluids were fine, however the baby is just a big guy! So the following day we went to our scheduled u/s and she confirmed the same thing. However on that day, I was only measuring 30wks. Hopefully he is just having a growth spurt and things will even out. My other boys were not big babies, so I am hoping this guy is not either. Other than that, things are just great and I just can't wait to have and hold my little guy in my arms. He moves around so much and I just love it. My hubby is getting more and more excited as well. This is his first, so it is neat to watch his excitement as well.

June 25th: 34wks..Ok, I have to share some of the most exciting news!!! I recently graduated from nursing school and yesterday I took my state boards. Today I got confirmation that I am officially and RN!!!!!!!!WAHOO!!!!!! I have spent many months studying and have totally put my life, family, friends and myself on hold preparing for this day!!! I will finally get to sit back and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy and get things ready with a peace of mind for my precious baby boy!!! I am also excited to finally be part of my family again!! My boys and husband have been so patient with me and I am so blessed to have them!!!! So I just wanted to share my excitement!! I hope everyone is having a great week!!!
