Baby Buttress Hearbeat Video

OK so all you have to do is click on the play button and you should be able to see the video, if this is successful I will try to post one more of her chewing. We had an ultrasound today through a friend of a friend because I am crazy and can not wait another 6 weeks until I see the baby again, so this is her at 20.5 weeks, I will post a few other 3 and 4 D pictures. This is about a 3 second clip of her heartbeat, so cool.

Flutter Flutter, Pulse Pulse....

About 3:30am I felt some weird things going on in my belly, so I just laid there with my hands on my belly trying to see what it was. Then it was like these little movements going on in there, I was going to wake Michael but I did not think he would be able to feel them since they were so light that I was not sure if I was feeling them. I laid there for about 15 minutes and my belly was pretty active. I have read that when the baby starts to move you may not feel it for a little while because they like to be active at night when mommy is sleeping. Lucky for me I get up 2 or 3 times during the night to go to the bathroom and have been a restless sleeper since becoming preggo. This was really cool and exciting, at 3:45 the action had slowed down some and I went back to sleep. 5am, I'm getting ready to get up and feed the dogs and as I am laying there I feel a pulsing beat in my belly, so I put my hand on in, this was in a different spot than the fluttering, and sure enough it was pretty noticeable, pulse pulse pulse....this time I woke up Michael so he too could feel it, what was that, I'm not sure? I don't know if that was the baby or the baby's heartbeat or what, but it was going on for a little while. Finally I got up to feed the dogs, eat some cereal ( I was hungry) and then go back to bed. This was a first for us, lets see if it happens again tonight!!

Cades 2nd Birthday Party

We went to Vero yesterday for our nephews 2nd b-day party! Yeee-haw! They had pony rides and a petting zoo for all the kids. Aaron and our nephew Avery came with us to enjoy the farm life. It was a good time and the kids had fun.

And the offical weigh In is........

I went to the doctors on Tuesday and the burning question from people is how much do I weigh. How much have I gained. Well I weighed in at 151, so I have gained about 13 to 15 pounds. Yep, a woman putting her weight on her blog for all to see. :) I don't care really, I am enjoying every step of the way, so if I gain 20 or 50 pounds it is all good!! These are belly pictures at 18 weeks. I go back in 4 weeks for another check-up and then the following time when I am at 26 weeks, is when we can do the 4-D ultrasound, YIPPY!!! I will keep posting belly pictures every few weeks! Love to all!!

Quick House and Baby Update

Things are moving along with the house and we passed another inspection today!!! I will get some more pictures up soon. I hope this thing will be done by the holidays! We got the blood results back from our 2nd round of testing yesterday and all the tests were negative, which is good. I go back to the doctors next Tuesday for just a routine check up, listen to the heartbeat and check my blood pressure. I am feeling better but still tired and dry heaving, she sure lets me know when I have not eaten enough or eat as often as she would like me too. Its every few hours that I am stuffing my face with something. I am not able to fit into most of my pants at this time, so I have moved on to the maternity clothes that my friend Shannon and sister-in-law Jessica let me borrow. Thanks ladies, I am so much more comfortable!! It was great, like I got to go shopping and not spend any money :) We will keep you posted!!
