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.

13 week check up

Well we had our 13 week check up today, nothing crazy just checking my blood pressure and the baby's heart beat. It is beating very strong and rather fast so some would conclude girl, but we'll see what the Ultrasound Technician says in 5 weeks and 5 days. I guess let the guessing begin ;-) Our next check up is in 4 weeks on June 25th, yay. I can't believe we'll be 4 months by then, CRAZY how fast time goes by.

And we passed 12 weeks ;-)

I am 12 weeks and 1 day today, well according to the doctor I am 12 weeks and 5 days today, so whoop whoop only 191days ;-)

We kind of forgot taking a belly pic last week, so we took one today and wow the difference is quite noticeable at least to me. I feel more like a blob than pregnant but that belly will only get bigger. 7 more days until our next Dr. appointment and we will be done with trimester # 1!!!
