Top 5

So here I am reading my emails and I get an email from the Community director over our March for Babies walk that is happening May 7th. She is giving away some prises and stuff. AND I of course didn't win, BUT Team  Kj is NUMBER ONE WOOT WOOT. I have raised the most money. BUT I do have to say I started early and I think I will be left behind. SO Those of you who have not donated PLEASE do so All I ask is for $5 dollars. If you could spare JUST $5 dollars......Maybe that is your McDonald's lunch today, or your Starbucks coffee, OR your pocket change. I'm very excited to be a part of March for Babies this year and hope you will join my team! Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. We're walking because we want to do something about this.The money we raise will support March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care. Please join my team. You can do so on my team Web page. If you can't walk with me, please help the team reach our goal by making a donation. You can do that online as well.

Thank you for helping me give all babies a healthy start!

A winner......

April 1, 2011
Its been 7 weeks with you....Sweet pea we got to see you yesterday, it was SO SO wonderful. We heard your heartbeat. It was one of the most amazing things in the whole wide world. Daddy and I keep asking each other if its November yet. We just want you here in our arms safe and sound. Not much has changed from this week and last week. I feel the same. I look the same. The only differences is everyone knows about you know. I decided that April Fools day was going to to be the day to announce you were here with us.  Some people didn't think it was funny to trick them . BUT you want to know a secret. I was not tricking anyone. You are coming and We are just so happy. It was a fun day for me. I don't think daddy was too happy with me telling the world already. He wanted it to be kept safe with us for a few more weeks. He is a smart man BUT I think by telling people this time will go by fast and you will be here in no time. SO some fun little facts this week are

We got to see Sweet Pea again today. Baby is growing GOOD measuring at 6w5d one day behind what I am actually :) We started out the appointment with a Vag US. After some maneuvering we got to see sweet pea. I was in a lot of pain because when I say maneuvering well lets just say the US wand was in my throat. She could not get a heartbeat. You can see it fluttering but when she went get beats per min Nothing. We were a bit Worried. She decided that we would do it from the belly and we got to see sweet pea so good that way. SO much better then with the wand up my yahoo. We also got to hear nice strong heartbeat 122per min. Beautiful music to our ears. We go again in 2 weeks to make sure Sweet pea is growing and good. I told Kyle I like going in every few weeks and he said ya its nice but it will be expencive. Eh I don't care, as long as we get to see Sweet Pea growing strong.

With you

For the first time

We got to see Sweet Pea today. Everything went well. My MW (Mid-wife) was running behind she had a delivery earlier in the day. We thought that when I went to the Dr. I was 6 weeks and one day. Turns out I was only 5 weeks and 5 days. Because I ovulated on day 16 and we have a clear Idea when conception was. Sweet Pea is measuring at 5 weeks and 2 days. Which puts my due date between November 18-21 2011. We get to go back next week to see Sweet Pea. She wants to make sure we are growing. I also will get to have Vag ultra-sounds (US) until 20ish weeks, I am sure I will bug her until 23 weeks with them. She want to keep a close eye on my cervix to make sure it does not change. If it gets 2cm I will be getting a cerclage. Right now its a healthy 4.44cm. So please pray that it will stay long and healthy. I also go told to be a vegetarian, because I have been having problems with my gallbladder. I have already started to change they way I eat. No eating past 7pm no eating certain foods. Like spicy :( Ice cream :( and Oranges......BUT I don't want to be in pain, its no fun at all. I am not really on a vegetarian diet I just have to lower my fat intake and eat more veggies. All in all I am really happy with the outcome of this appointment and can't wait until next week to see sweet pea again.

Somewhere over the Rainbow

Today Marks 5 Weeks with you sweet pea.

Mommy has been having some hip pain since Saturday. I can hardly walk, or stand for very long. I also had my first day of not feeling too well. No throwing up, just feeling blah. Nothing has been sounding very good. Well except Cafe Rio dressing. I craved that with your big brother and I am craving that again with you. We have not told very many people about you yet. Mommy and Daddy want to wait until after the 23rd. We get to see you in 8 days. We are so excited to see you. We are so excited to let everyone know about you. I keep teasing Daddy, telling him there is more then one of you in here. I keep telling him there is 4 or 6 and even sometimes 10. My pants are already feeling tight, even though I already had a belly it is getting bigger already. People say that you show more during your second pregnancy. I looked on baby center today and they say you are the size of a sesame seed, and that you look more like a tadpole then a human. On Saturday night Daddy and I went to the book store and bought a book to learn more about you. We read it every night. It tells us what you look like and how you are growing on a day to day basis. It is really cool to see the changes you make everyday sweet pea. Meli, is already sensing something is different. She is not liking me right now. I think she knows she will no longer be my baby. She will learn to love you sweet pea. She knows how much we have wanted you to come. How much we love you already. Daddy is worried that you are not going to stay with us very long, I am too. We are trying really really hard to stay positive, its hard to but we are. I keep telling him we have to just be positive and I know it will be hard and its going to be stressful, BUT we need to do our best. We need to keep thinking we are going to bring you home with us sweet pea.

We love you so much

Mommy and Daddy
