26 weeks down... 14 to go!

Wow, can you believe it?? We're actually 26 weeks along!! HOLYCRAPOLA!!! Its flying by so fast!!

I went to see Dr. Gruszynski today for just a regular check up!! Everything is going well. Ive only gained 2lbs since my last appointment!! So Im only up 12lbs to date!! Go Katie! haha The baby's heartbeat was at 160 today and Dr. said that everything is going great!

I go back on November 10th for an ultrasound, sugar screening and then another exam!! I can't wait for the ultrasound!! It's going to be so awesome seeing the little monkey again!! Mind you, our last u/s was on 9/15 so its been a while!

Everything is right on track and the Dr was very impressed with my minimal weight gain!! ME TOO!!

Two weeks ago I was put on Tamiflu and that stuff made me vomit every day!! Worst stuff ever! Thank goodness that I dont have to take that anymore!

All in all, everything is good!! We still dont have a girls name picked out.... Craig likes Dakota, which is cute but I don't "Love It" and I want to LOVE a name that Im going to give to my child!! As stated in an earlier blog, we agreed on Benjamin Wrigley for a boy.... and yes, I love that name!!! :-)

Thanks again for all your support!!! Baby V will be here before we know it!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!

Baby Names

Everyone keeps asking us how we're doing on the baby names... well, we're making progress!!! We have agreed on Benjamin Wrigley for a boy!! Craig REALLY wanted Wrigley but I didn't like it overly well for a first name, so we agreed it was okay for a middle name and I looooove the name Benjamin!!! So we're set for a boy name.

As for a girl name, yeah, we're still at ground zero on that!!!! We're working on it!!!

30 and Pregnant!

Well, my 30th birthday has arrived and Im spending it pregnant!! So no drinking my blues away!! Its okay though, so far so good!! Maybe my 30s won't be as bad as I expected them to be!! After all, the best present I could ask for is "cooking" in my belly, so things are good!!

Im posting a picture taken last week. Looks kinda funny since I think my belly looks like its "out there" but in person, I think I look a lot more rounder than what the picture shows. But you get the idea at least with this picture!! The doctor says that I'll "balloon" out in the next few weeks, so I'll be sure to add more pictures in a few weeks!

My boss at the bank has been sick so my dr. prescribed me Tamiflu to help fight off anything that might be lingering, and I have to say, Tamiflu SUCKS!! I take it and then 3 hours later, it makes me throwing up sick. I hate to throw up anyway, but to know that its going to happen makes me dread taking the pills. Its so nasty.

I go back to the dr. next Tuesday for a check up and hopefully schedule my next ultrasound!! Im ready to see my little monkey again!!! I need new u/s pics! So hopefully we get that all scheduled next week!!!

All in all, things are still going really good!!! OH!! I was laying in bed Saturday night and the baby was kicking and Craig FINALLY got to feel it kick!!! Usually when the baby kicks, and someone puts their hand on my belly, including myself, the baby stops. Its like he/she is playing games.

But Saturday was Craigs lucky day and he got to feel it!! Made me SUPER happy!!! Woohooo!!!!

Thats about all I have for today.... til next week, have a good one!

23 weeks & going strong!

Just a quick update. Had a check up today and everything is going perfectly!!

We had a heartbeat of 152 today!! My cervix is thick and holding everything in place!!!

I have another appointment set for October 27 and from there we'll schedule an ultrasound and my sugar screening!

I am feeling GREAT these days!! I am LOVING every minute of this stage!! Well, maybe not the over emotional part, but everything else is peachy!!!!

Thanks for everyones support!!!!
