29 weeks ;-)

I just wanted to post a quick update pic of my growing belly. We are 29 weeks and 1 day pregnant today and it's hard to believe how fast this time has gone by. We'll be on our way to Hawaii on Wednesday sooooo excited. This will be our last big splash without baby Conor so we are looking forward to a nice and relaxing time laying out by the pool and beach and just enjoying quiet time. Anyway here is the belly shot.

Belly at 29 weeks and about 41.5 inches.




AS usual here are two doodle pics ;-)She is super excited to meet her brother and can't wait to race him through the house.

80 more days ;-)

Just 80 more days until our due date. We are leaving for our babymoon in just a few days to enjoy some much needed relaxation in Oahu. Yesterday we saw the specialist again to check on the blood work they ran while back and everything looks normal so I guess so far so good. We also saw our regular doctor and while there we discussed our options, since I don't have to take the blood thinner shots there is no reason to induce me early which means Eric and I can hope for a normal labor process. It is amazing how fast time has gone by and I cannot believe that we are already in the third trimester. Soon we'll be starting our birthing class and once that is over there are only three weeks left wow. Conor has been doing great my belly is getting bigger so I assume he is growing and developing just fine. He's been real active lately especially at night which has made it a little harder to getting a full night of sleep in. But good thing is I'm back to work part time, which makes it nice for naps on most of the days ;-). Anyway our next appointment will be fate Hawaii in about 3weeks, we'll be 31 weeks by then with less than 9 weeks to go, YAY!!! Maybe I can get Eric to take a belly shot this weekend so we can post un updated one before we leave.

Perinatologist Appointment

Eric and I had to see the perinatologist (not sure I spelled this right) today as I had a blood test for clotting and well I guess I have thick blood and am more likely to develop clots ;-(. He took a real good look at Conor and his heart and organs and said he looks great and healthy so we'll see what the next couple of weeks bring. Conor is already about 2lbs, CRAZY!!! We'll see our Dr. on Thursday for a check up and I guess more blood work for more tests ;-( I hate needles. Anyway here are a couple of pictures from today.





Eric also took a couple other pics of me and Chloe and a belly shot and I gotta say its definitely getting bigger ;-)

Conor's Room

Well Eric and I had Conor's room painted last week and had chair-rail put up. We got the furniture on Wednesday and started to put the room together. So the decorations and curtains are up and now all we are missing is Conor ;-) But at least we'll be able to go on our babymoon not having to come back and work on putting up curtains and stuff, YAY.

23 weeks and 2 days ;-)

Wow long time no post. Well time has been flying by. We had another appointment a week and 1/2 ago, thing are looking great and Conor has a strong heart beat. Next appointment will be on Aug. 19th we'll be almost 26 weeks by then, YAY.

Wednesday we are getting Conor's furniture, tomorrow the painters are coming to start on the nursery and well throughout the weeks most of our baby stuff should arrive, so we'll be ready for baby before we go on our babymoon in September. Work has time made go by super fast which is awesome. We are getting sooooooo excited to welcome little Conor into this world.

I'll be posting some progress picture of the nursery a long the way ;-)

IT'S A BOY!

Sorry, this is kind of late ;-( Anyway we had our big Ultrasound last Tuesday and found out that we are expecting a little boy. We already had a name picked out way ahead of time "Conor Walker Baal" so we are super excited to welcome this little Baaler in late November.

The ultrasound went great, but Conor did not really want to get his picture taken. We got one cute shot.




The ultrasound tech took tons of measurements and we were able to see Conor's feet, legs, hands and little finger, his little heart and after lots of tries even his nose and lips, SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!

Here is a belly shot at 20 weeks, my belly is about 38" now.





Time seems to fly bye like crazy, the hubby and even went shopping at Baby's R Us and who would have though that I would have to hold Eric back from buying every single thing. We already got a nice glider for the room and a couple of sleep and play outfits.

Anyway our next appointment will be in about 2 weeks, I'll be 22 weeks by then ;-)

15 weeks ;-)

This week was not so pleasant as I had bad stomach pain and started getting pretty bad skin allergies ;-(. We luckily got a Dr. appointment to check on my stomach pain and make sure the baby is ok and, yes baby is doing great. Eric said it sounded like a little robot when he heard baby's heartbeat soooooo cute. The Dr. was actually able to suggest some stuff to take for my allergies as well so I'm feeling much better, no more itching every two second. The stomach pain was nothing major so that is good. Anyway we have another check up in 2 weeks and then our big ultrasound in 3 and 1/2 weeks.

Eric also took an update picture of my belly today. I started measuring my belly to see how much it is grows and it went from 34" at about 12 weeks to now about 36.5" YAY.
