Girly Things

I am so sad to think that I have to give away my boys clothes. There are a few I think I will still keep, I still have things from when I was little so I think it would be nice for them to have some things of theirs. When I was putting the last size away that Jackson grew out of, and this was before I found out I was pregnant, I cried cause I for some reason just knew I wouldn't have another boy. Who knows maybe we're not done having kids but I am pretty sure we are. just in case I will make sure they don't go too far from home so that I can get them back if I am of need.
I made my first girl thing purchase. I am SO excited! And it's my favorite thing about havin a girl. Well my fav thing about dressin her, besides getting to paint her nails. :0) Don't you love these! I want to make a bunch of them.

20 weeks 1 day

I'm half way there...

The Name

So I think we have decided to call her MaryJane. Dave's grandma's name is Mary, my grandma's name was Mary Jane and my mom and my sister's middle name is Jane so it works out. We are not sure if we will add a middle name to it or if MaryJane will be the middle name and give her a different first name or just leave it at MaryJane by itself. Whatever we decide she will still go by MaryJane.
When my mom and I told Gage what we were going to name her, We then asked him, do you know who MaryJane is? To see if he was actually listening. He said, it's the goblin. (He is thinking Spiderman, his fav movie at the time) I told him no his name is Norman Osborne Mary Jane is Spiderman a.k.a. Peter Parker's girl friend. Then I tried to explain to him that we were not referring to Spiderman but the baby in my belly. He told me he is pregnant with a boy and that he was going to name him Spiderman. LOL :0)
Jackson is still not aware of what is going on but he LOVES babies! He gets so excited and just laughs every time he get's close to someone smaller then him.

The Ultrasound

I had my ultrasound this morning. I went to a place that is usually for high risk pregnancies, not sure why? But I had a nurse do it first then a Dr came in and checked things out too. They were having a hard time getting the pictures they needed for the heart and the face because the baby was laying face down. But they said they did not see anything abnormal that would make them think there was a birth defect, so we are in good shape. They tried for a while to get the pictures they needed so they were pushin on my belly pretty hard and were bumpin the baby around. after they finally gave up my stomach hurt! There were a couple times where they must have been pushin on the baby in a weird way or something cause I got a couple sharp kicks that were different then I have felt thus far. We got some great news! IT'S A GIRL!!! At the beginning of the ultrasound when she was getting a picture of her leg I got a shot of it. My heart was going crazy cause I knew. It was not till the ultrasound was almost over when she told us it was a girl. We are SO excited! How could things work out so perfect? I always knew it would be this way ever since I was a little girl. Dave is my sole mate and I love him with every bit of my heart! I am so blessed to have this family! :0)

Feeling a Lot of Movement

I am 17 weeks 5 days pregnant. I love my skin right now, I have that pregnancy glow. One of the many perks of pregnancy. The past week I have been able to feel the baby move a lot. Mostly when I am sitting in the car or sitting at work. I had my Dr's appointment yesterday and when she asked me if I have been feeling a lot of movement before I could answer she said it's still pretty early so we don't expect you to. So I guess this baby is a strong kicker or I just know what I am looking for after having 2 already. :0) But my babies have always moved a ton! I gained 8 pound this month. WOW but Becky said they want me to gain 10 pounds by the time I am 20 weeks so I am about right there so no worries. In the beginning I lost 2 pounds I was not really gaining at all so I guess it is just because I am feeling better and eat more like I should. My belly is measuring perfect, it's about a finger width down from my belly button. I sure do feel bigger though! While I was at my appointment I got a copy of my ultrasound order and it said it was scheduled for Monday the 6th when I thought it was the 7th. I work Mondays so even though getting to see my baby even a day sooner is exciting it would have been hard to go. I just called the hospital and they clarified that it is in fact the 7th so we are good to go :0) SO EXCITED! I kinda have a feeling I am having a boy but we will see...

15 weeks 2 days

Gage (my 3 yr old) told me today that he is having a girl. LOL He thinks he is pregnant too...


The shadow kinda makes my belly look bigger then it is.

Made My Ultrasound Appointment

I had my second appointment today with my Midwife. Listening to the heartbeat of my little baby is the best part of our visits. She asked me before we tried to listen to it if I had felt any movement, if you read my last post you would know that I am not totally sure? Well when we were listening to the heart beat the baby was movin around like crazy and even kicked the monitor! So her reaction was O WOW you probably ARE feeling the baby move!
I have gained 4 lbs since my first appointment. I am 13 w 4 d. all my blood tests came back normal. My blood type is 0+ so we are in good shape. :0)
I have been having some pretty bad heartburn the past few days which seems really early this pregnancy. I usually don't start this till like the 6th or 7th month. So I have to start taking pepcid once or twice a day. I hope that helps!
My ultrasound is scheduled for October 7th. I will be 18 w 4d. Hopefully my little one isn't shy so we can find out if we are having a boy or a girl. time sure has gone by fast so far. I am now in my 2nd trimester so I am a 3rd of the way there.
