Halloween

So we get to find out what we're having on Halloween. So it'll be a really really good Halloween this year! At my doctors appointment my doctor told us that she will no longer be practicing obstetrics at the beginning of the year. So I have to switch doctors. So now instead of Dr. Morgan I get to go to Dr. Lamb. We got to meet him and he seems really nice. He's pretty funny too. I was really sad I didn't get to see Dr. Morgan anymore. And on top of that I might have a bladder infection. They were going to have me give a urine sample so they could test for it, but we all forgot and I left before we could even stop to think about it. So I was just going to go get it done when I go to the thyroid doctor this Friday. But I think I might want to go in sooner. It was really hurting me this morning. I'll call the doctors office and see what they think. So that's all the news I have for now.

Baby News

Last night for the first time, I felt the baby move! It was soooo cool!!!! It felt like a bubble moving inside me. It was the coolest feeling in the world!!! I can't wait to feel more. Tomorrow I have another doctor appointment. We're hoping we get an ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby, but we're not keeping our hopes up very high. We'll probably just get to schedule an appointment to find out. So we'll have to see. I'll post again tomorrow after the appointment telling how my appoitment went. So we'll find out tomorrow!

Shadow

Yesterday we took our dog Shadow to the vet. He has been limping on his back right leg since Monday. The vet said it was his hips. He has bad hip problems and he said it's like his bones are grinding together. So I had to leave him at the vets to get an x-ray of his hips. They had to put him under anesthesia so they could get him to hold still for it. It was so hard to just leave him there! I felt so bad! When I picked him up he wasn't his usual self and that made me really upset. I cried off and on the rest of the night. He was whimpering because he was in pain. The vet gave me some medicine to give to Shadow every day to help with the pain. Shadow is about 135 lbs. and they said he needed to lose about 40 lbs to get to a weight they like to see on him. So he has a prescription dog food to help him lose weight. Once he's down to the weight they'd like to see him at they'll switch him to another prescription dog food that helps with joints and bones in
his body. They said he'll be on prescription dog food for the rest of his life unless we get surgery on his hips to scrape some of the bone off so he's not in pain. I don't think I could handle dropping him off for surgery. It broke my heart having him home after the anesthesia! Maybe one day we'll get him that surgery, but right now it's going to have to wait. Poor Shadow!!!!

A Third of the Way There

YAY!!!!!!! I have officially started the second trimester of my pregnancy! This is week 14 and we're going good! We have another doctor appointment on October 10th and at that appointment she's going to give us the order for the ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby. So we'll have to schedule that appointment with the people who do the ultrasounds. So we'll find out what it is pretty soon! We're getting really excited!

San Diego

Last week was the trip to San Diego. I ended up not going because I didn't have enough time to take off of work. So Adam, Camille and Danny went without me. They had a blast!! On Monday they went to the San Diego Zoo for about half a day. Tuesday they went to Sea World and they just loved it! It was the highlight of the trip. They loved it so much they went back to Sea World on Wednesday for another half day. They swam in the hotel's pool every day and they all got sun burned. Thursday they hung out at the hotel until it was time to go back to the airport to come back home.

Doctors Appointment

So I had my monthly doctors appointment today. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat. It was so cool and I got so excited about hearing it that I giggled a little and we lost it and couldn't find it again. But that's okay, what we did hear was so cool! The next appointment next month we'll get a referral to the people who do the ultrasounds and we'll get to find out the sex of the baby! That'll be so cool! If it's a girl we have the name Hannah Lily picked out. If it's a boy it'll be Logan James. (Ashley, our kids can have the same middle name, I hope that's okay with you. Adam's pretty set on that name!) I'll keep everyone updated as the months go by!

Our Big News

We found out in July that we are expecting our first baby! I am due March 23rd and right now I'm about 11 weeks along. These ultrasounds were taken at the 7th week. I have another doctors appointment on Sept. 10th and I'm hoping they'll do another ultrasound! I loved seeing that little "blob" on the monitor. And to see the heartbeat was just amazing! So far I haven't really been sick. I can pretty much eat anything, but after I'm done my stomach will feel a little queasy after. I'm am enjoying pregnancy so far, even though I am very tired all the time. I can't wait until I can feel it moving around.
