Week 17- my little onion

So, it's a day early, but i figured, what the heck! The baby should be the size of an onion, it was an avacado last week. 22 more days until we find out what we are having. My husband is now having second thoughts on our boy name...GRRR! So frustrating that we can't decide on a name. I have been sick since last Thursday...no fun at all. Started with a sore throat, then went into a head cold and migrated to my chest. Pretty sure I have a sinus infection. I LOVE Nedi pots and I went today to get some more solution packets. Hater doing it, but love the immediate relief. I am going to do another treatment before I go to bed and then again before I go to work tomorrow. My doctor put me on Blood pressure meds. I have been putting it off for about 6 years, maybe more.....figured it was time.

I honestly can't wait to be a SAHM again. This time will be totally different because I am continuing school online and I will have my daughter who starts middle school this fall, but she is being home schooled. I wish we could get moved before the baby comes because I really don't want to spend another winter here. It would also be a lot easier moving before the baby comes, however moving from Idaho to Nevada will be quite a move!

After we find out what we are having we can start painting the room and actually buying stuff! We cleaned out our extra bedroom so after the 20th we can start putting it together.

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend!

HOLY MOLY! Week 16!!!

I can't believe I've missed an update two weeks in a row! Week 14 went great and fast! And I believe I felt the first movements, although very light, they were felt none-the-less. Week 15 went just as well and fast!! In other news names are officially picked....I repeat, names are officially picked!! Man, it was hard!! My husband and I battled for weeks and we finally have them picked....we find out what we are having July 20th and I cannot wait. I want to start buying stuff!! So, if it's a boy his name will be Gavin Joel, and if it's a girl, her name will be Jovie Monroe. I am totally and completely happy with those names because they are both unique, but not completely off the wall crazy. Gavin has always been a name that we both liked and Joel was a perfect fit because it went well with Gavin and it was short as a middle name. Jovie was the name of Will Ferrells girlfriend in the move Elf and I always loved it; monroe is, of course a classic that I have always loved as well.

We have managed to find some awesome finds so far on baby stuff. I found a brand new pack-n-play with the changing area and newborn bassinette for $45, a baby bouncer seat for $5 and a swing for $7. I also got a FREE 3 in one crib that converts to a toddler bed and then to a twin bed. A FREE newer infant car seat that just needed to be washed (although it will be our secondary seat), a FREE infant toy set that they lay underneath AND a shopping cart cover for $12! The crib is a honey wood color and just needs to be sanded down and refinished, although I am going to stain it a bit darker. Now, I just need to know if we are having a Gavin or a Jovie!!

Week 13- My little lemon

Well, this is it. The last week of my first trimester. I've been feeling like somethings going to go wrong simply because up to this point everything has been so right. I keep reading stories about woman who go into labor at 20 or 22 weeks and the baby doesn't make it or another girl who thought she was 23 weeks along only to find out the baby died at 16 weeks. It's terrifying. I just have to maintain positive thoughts and have trust that things will be okay. I have another dr's appt. on the 23rd. Seems like I try to make it from appt. to appt, one month at a time. Considering what happened last time, I just keep anticipating something happening. However, I also have to remember I have made it a month longer than I did before.

I hope the next few months go by quick. I enjoy being pregnant and the satisfaction it gives me, since it took me so many years to become pregnant again but on the other hand it also comes with a lot of fear. I will be cutting back to working part time the end of Oct. and will officially be done working Nov. 23rd or so, which will be 2 weeks before my due date. (as long as they don't keep moving my due date up). Baby should be the size of a lemon now. I love how my weekly pregnancy update gives references to fruits.

I've been feeling really good, no issues what so ever. No nausea, however within the next few weeks I anticipate morning sickness to haunt me. About the 4th month is when I got it with my daughter.

That's it! Off to bed!
