its such a cool feeling!! i cant wait for my husband to feel it!! im having another u/s on june 11 to make sure the baby is ok--since i already know the sex, this is a great opportunity for my hubby to see her as how big she is, so i cant wait for that!! other than that everything is great--take care!! 06-11-2007--so i just get back from having my scan done with my hubby and i have news!! the girl brings us in and she starts scanning and she asks if i can find the sex do you want to know and we said we already know but you can reconfirm!! so shes scanning and i keep saying she, she--all of the sudden she say you think your having a girl and i said yeah and i told her why and shes says not your not--its a BOY!!! i was like what?? are you sure?? and she said oh yeah and gave us the pic of the money shot!! my hubby was thrilled and i was happy too but me and my mom have been planning our shower and we have all girly shower favors that i have to try to exchange!! oh well--the scan was great and he weighs a pound!! we are having a BOY!!! 06-14-2007--so my mom has been here for the past few days and we got to register for my shower and that was fun--we picked out practical and very cute items. we picked out the bedding set and its going to be light green with cream and bears with a little hint of blue--very cute!! and im very happy with it--my hubby has not seen it but i know he will love it!! im 22 weeks today and thats exciting--my face is breaking out but what else is new and i feel great!! i see the doctor on monday so i know hes going to probably yell at me for all the weight i gained but its only been 12 pounds so far--we will see--take care!! 06-18-2007--went to the md today and i gained 9 lbs for a total of 15 lbs. i told him how my feet and ankles are getting swollen and i have been having slight contractions at night and he said that was all normal. he is very concerned about by blood pressure which was 142/90--the girl in the office took it twice--he drew some blood on me to check on me and he wants to see me in 2 weeks to check on my bp again--i really feel great but he is a very cautious md. i also went to buy buy baby after the md and bought my little boy some more cloths--they are very cute--everyone take care and feel great--bye for now!!

anyway hope all is well!! take care. 09-13-2007--i went to the md today and my appt didnt go all that great--i gained 5 pounds which is mostly water weight and my blood pressure was 140/98<---really high--he drew some blood and i had a culture done for beta strep vaginally. i feel great--just a little bummed--he wants me to be really strict with my bed rest and not to do anything--my mom is coming next week to help me with the baby's room and clean my house a little also to keep me company and we can bond!! take care to all!! 09-17-2007 went to the md today and everything is ok--im gaining alot of weight--mostly water weight and my bp is a little high--he told me to take it easy--he wants to do an u/s to see how big the baby is and if he is getting to big he probably will want to do a c section. i have been feeling good just getting big--my mom is coming this week to help my with house chores that i cant do and we are going to get the babys room ready. i will keep you all posted. oh another thing i ended up in l/d about 4 hours after i saw the md b/c i was having contraction for about 4 hours but it turned out to be nothing. 09-20-2007--so we got the babys room done my mom and i and it came out so good and my mom took lots of pics of my and my hubby to remember--my feet and ankles are so swollen from sitting buts its worth it. i cant wait for him to be in it!! 09-24-2007--went to the md again today and it did not go well at all--i gained 8 lbs in one week and my bp was 150/100--he walked in to my room and told me i have to go to the hospital and be admitted and to be monitored. i started crying b/c i was not prepared for that answer. erich and i went to his moms house to drop off one of our cars and we went to the hospital. they put me on the monitor and started an iv and drew some blood. the nurse wasnt very nice and the iv hurt like a bitch. after about an hour and a half the nurse walks back in and says you can go home now-- i was so pissed off. the whole time i was there my bp was perfect 119/76 and the baby is fine--the nurse was like this is normal sometimes and i shouldnt be upset--i was like whatever. so i will see my md next monday and we will see what happens-- i feel fine--just uncomfortable. i will keep you all posted!!
