Just Stuff

I am feeling EXTREMELY blah today. I am not comfortable in ANY of my jeans and I had to leave one of the side buttons on my skirt I wore to church this morning unbuttoned (and we will not even discuss how my tights felt)! I got on the scale ready to cringe....and amazingly I have only gained two pounds! Needless to say I am in a pair of drawstring pants for the rest of the day! I also found this darling crib bedding and got into somewhat of a heated discussion with my husband when he told be NO! He thinks it looks too "feminine" (to be politically correct)! I am not sure why he cares about interior decorating so much all of a sudden....he has let me do anything I wanted to the house so far!

Heartbeat

Chris and I went to the doctor today for an ultrasound and we heard the baby's heartbeat! It was so amazing! I am 7 weeks and 1 day and they drew more blood today for all the normal screenings. My next appointment is February 7, 2008. We were told we would find out the sex of the baby at 17 weeks, which would be approximately the last week in March!

Great News

The doctor said everything looks Okay! My HCG levels continue to soar! Our doctor appointment has been moved from Monday morning to afternoon, but we get to have another ultrasound done. Hopefully this time we will get to hear the heartbeat! I will post the new ultrasound pictures Monday evening!

New Favorite

I have found yet another adorable bedding set for a girl! Maybe this is a sure sign Chris and I need a boy!

First Ultrasound

We had a scare this morning about 10 am that put me in the doctor's office about a week before I was actually due for my first visit. They did an ultrasound and the doctor said everything looked normal and healthy. She told me to take it easy the rest of the week while I am waiting on more blood work to come back (I had blood drawn today and will go again on Thursday morning to have more drawn to check the rise in my hormone levels .......again). If everything comes back okay on Thursday we will have a follow up ultrasound on Monday morning. This has been a huge emotional roller coaster. Please keep Chris and I and our "little bit" in your thoughts and prayers this week!

My OCD at its best!

For any of you who have lived with me....or been around me more than 10 minutes know all too well how obsessive I can be about planning and organizing! Having said that, Chris and I have decided on names and nursery themes (I think). If we have a boy, his name will be Bayne Christopher and the nursery will be done with a nautical theme. I found a really cute, clean, and simple bedding set that Chris actually liked as well! It is called Yacht Club.






If we have a girl her name will be Bennett Claire. I am having a hard time deciding between the Town and Country bedding set and the Rodeo Drive set. Chris absolutely DESPISES pink, and I must confess it is not one of my favorite colors either, but I love the SHOPPING THEME and the poodles on the Rodeo Drive set.....so we may have to flip a coin. Tell me your thoughts please. :)

ONION Craving!

I have been craving ONIONS! I HATE onions! I was eating HUNKS of raw onion Saturday! I get grossed out just thinking about it....but I can't help myself! Chris, bless his heart, has incorporated onion in just about every meal he has made for me in the past week (for those of you who do not know....I am NOT the chef at our house). Thankfully I have not been sick so far. I have felt a hint of nausea just a few times this week, but it passes as quickly as it comes on! We will keep our fingers crossed that this streak of good fortune continues!

Looking Good!

I went Friday for more blood work and my hormone levels had more than doubled! Everything is looking good and they scheduled my first doctor appointment for January 21, 2008 at 9:45 AM.

BIG NEWS!

Chris and I found out New Year's Eve that we are going to have a baby! I went to the doctor this morning for blood work to confirm! We thought this website would be a great way for all of our friends and family, that do not live close by, to keep up with how we and "little bit" are doing! Chris and I are both HORRIBLE at keeping secrets and we wanted all of our friends' and family's love and support from the very beginning.

I have another doctor's appointment on Friday January 4, 2008 just to make sure my hormone levels are increasing as they should (since I found out so early on that I was pregnant). Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
