Is it a Girl or a Boy?????????

I tried to get the pictures on here as best as I could but its difficult without a scanner, anyways we went to the doctor today for our second round of testing and to hopefully find out the sex. Well if you look at the last picture that should tell you, SHE was not being shy. Yep, it's a GIRL!! I have felt it was a girl since I was 10 weeks preggo, don't know why but that's what I felt and I was right! Point for me :) We are excited and can't wait. Either sex we would be thrilled, this is all a dream come true for us. They measured all the baby's anatomy today and all looked good so far. We will get the blood results back next week. We will keep you posted. I am in the awkward stage of my pants will not button anymore but I am not quite big enough yet for maternity clothes. My girlfriend Shannon let me borrow some clothes and the belly band!! THANKS, I was pretty comfy today. Stay tuned.....

Updated House Pictures

Here are the latest of a few pictures that we took of the house. It is coming along, we had an inspection but did not pass, Michael says the guys are being ridiculous and we should of passed. Anyways we have to resubmit the plans this week and hopefully get it passed this week. The guys continue to work on the stairs in the back for the bedroom on top. I thought I had a picture of the stairs but I guess I forgot to DL it. Oh well, next time.

Baby, House, and other information updates.

I just realized that I never updated the blog with the results of my blood work and doctors appointments, maybe I did and I forgot. Anyways all the blood work for the first round of testing came back normal as well as the ultrasound that they did again last week. The baby looked good and so did I. There was some concern that I may have had an infection but all was clear and fine. What they saw was some progesterone left over that I had been on prior, whew. My next appointment is Tuesday 9/9, with my OBGYN and I will be 14 plus weeks at that point :). I am not expecting much from that appointment, they will probably listen to the heart beat and that will be it, oh yeah and make me pee in a cup. Then our next big appointment will be September 25th, also my friend Jens birthday!! This is where we will hopefully find out the sex of the baby and where they will start the second part of the testing, lucky me, something more for me to be paranoid about. I have just started to feel better a few days ago, but am not completely out of the woods yet. I do have a little dry heaving in the afternoons but nothing like I have been, and my energy level is starting to come back. I think by next week I will be feeling great and able to start exercising again!! OK I think that is it on the baby news. Michael's mom is still very sick and remains in the hospital, we should have some more answers today, we are waiting on some test results to come back and speak with the doctor. As for the house, I have more pictures! Can you believe it, I just posted some a few days ago. I will try to get those up later this afternoon!! And last but not least, FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE!! YIPPY!! College started last week and NFL was last night. This, as most of you know is my favorite time of year! The Gators are going to give a beating to the hurricanes this weekend!! Now I am off to do a little hurricane prep, but I think that Ike will being headed to the West Coast.

Addition Update ( house that is)

The guys have been here working daily for the past few weeks, minus a few rain days here and there. It is coming along but not as fast as we would like. They are here bright and early very morning to make sure the doggies and I can not sleep in!! We can not wait until it is all finished, not sure when that will be, Michael assures me it will be way before Christmas but living with a man who's in construction I know better!! :)
