Number 2 4-D ultrasound

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:08:39 EST

We went yesterday and had our second 4-D u/s. It's so amazing how much bigger she has gotten since the last one. We could see so much detail...her hair, her fingers, lips, nose, eyes, ears....she so darn cute already and she isn't done cooking!!! :) Her heartbeat is 143 and she looks all healthy...woohoo!
Love you,
Tammy

Had a doctor's appointment last Friday...Aunt Kimie got to go...we had fun!! Jadyn of course had her ankles locked again...let's hope she keeps them that way when she gets here! She weight a wopping 1.5 lbs now and all is looking well, she just growing and making me feel like a whale! Only a little over 2 months and she will be here!!! :)

Well we finally found out...

We had our 4-D u/s yesterday and we found it...it's a girl!!! So out with the blue and in with the pink :) Now we need to figure out a name for a LO :)

We have a stubborn one!

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 13:08:20 EST

We went to the doctor's office Friday.....and we still couldn't get a clear shot on the goods. She said girl this time. So I've been told it's a boy twice, and it's a girl twice. Soooo......being the obsessive planner person that I am, I just can't wait for another month to find out. We will be going today to a place called Anticipation...they 3 and 4-D u/s. They said if they can't tell the sex of the baby you get to come back for another one for free....so they are pretty sure they can deter...

Let's try this again...

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:32:33 EST

ok, we have our doctor's appointment today at 11:15....I've had a long talk with the LO and hopefully we will get a show today and find out if we are buying pink or blue! Bring on the popcorn because I'm soooooo ready for this show! :)
Love,
Tamy

Good news but still have to wait.....

Wed, 3 Jun 2009 13:33:45 EST

Had our specialists exam this morning. All went very well....no signs of any problems and my percentage for downs is 1 in 23,000 +.....so that is great news! But we still don't know what we are having....first he said girl then towards the end of the u/s he said he thought he saw boy parts.....rrrrrr! We go to our regular doc on the 12th and I don't care if I have to stand on my head....we need to find out what this LO is!!!! :)
Love,
Tam

Big Day Tomorrow!

Tue, 2 Jun 2009 15:45:11 EST

Ok, tomorrow we go see the specialist. We hope to find a healthy baby with no signs of any problems. We also should be able to see if Jackson is indeed a boy....he best be puttin on a show tomorrow because mom here is going crazy with anticipation :)

Still waiting....

Mon, 18 May 2009 12:42:40 EST

Had my appointment Friday....and Jackson, I'm assuming here, would NOT show us anything. He had his legs crossed at the ankles and would not uncross and give us a show. He was very active otherwise. He weight 7 ounces and his heart beat is 143. I go June 3rd to the specialist and Dr. Parks said they will measure everything, especially is heart chambers, brain, spine, skull, etc., and look for anything abnormal. She said it is a level 3 u/s and they will also be able to tell for sure if we ind...

Excited

Thu, 14 May 2009 10:28:14 EST

ok, I'm very excited today....we go for our next doctor appointment tomorrow at 11:15 and she will do another u/s....I can hardly wait to see him (at least thats what we think we saw). We should be able to find out for sure tomorrow if what was saw was really a boy. I want to see how much he has grown and hear his heartbeat again....I'm thinking it might be worth getting on of those dopplers just so I can hear him. They say that I can start feeling him anytime but I haven't yet...looking forw...

Oh Boy!!!!

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:54:25 EST

Sorry for the late post.....had our doctor's appointment on Friday and she did another u/s....and we aren't 100% sure but it looked pretty obvious to me that we are having a boy!!! The doctor, Jeff and I saw a weewee :) she said we would for sure know at our next visit which is 5/15 at 11:15. So it's looking like we won't have to paint the baby room after all - it's the right color as it :) He weights 3 ounces and the heartbeat is 144. It was soooooo amazing! Just a month ago we were a litt...

Not much to report

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 13:17:53 EST

Well I don't have much to report other than I feel like I'm having an elephant! I can thankfully eat chicken, most of the time, again. Still no seafood. I'm wanting spaghetti with meat sauce alot. The ravenous feeling has gone away but when I do get hungry I need to eat right away but at least I no longer feel like eating everything in the kitchen. :) The tiredness is getting better too but still not where I would like it to be-I hope it continues to get better because I've got millions of th...

Not much to report

Off the menu!

Wed, 1 Apr 2009 17:28:32 EST

Well now chicken is off the menu. First it was shrimp and now chicken which I love and it often....weird! Haven't tried turkey breast but I did have the choice of a turkey sandwhich or a ham sandwhich the other day.....normally it would be turkey hands down but nooooo went with the ham...guess LO just wants beef and pork! :)

What's with the dreams?!

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 11:52:55 EST

Hello everyone! ok, I'm starting to have the weirdest dreams...they aren't scary or anything just really, really weird. Once it was about snakes trying to go througha fence, another was I'm not really sure but I was back at the house I grew up in and was living there but weird stuff was happening...so weird that I can't even explain it. I know there are others but I'm not remembering them. I assume this is normal...I remember sis telling me of the vivid freaky dreams she was having in the beg...

U/S Results

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:05:47 EST

Hello all! Well we had our first ultrasound today and OMG! that is just awesome! Everything is looking good...170 heartbeat 2.64 cm long. Saw the heart beating, got to hear the heart beating-that took my breath away! We also saw the little arms and legs...didn't look like either one of us-haha! We go for our next appointment on 4/17 and as long as the LO cooperates we will be able to find out the sex! This is just truly amazing! :) Daddy Jeff was pretty funny today-I think seeing it and hear...

Better!

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:55:01 EST

Hello all! Today is much better...feel normal again (well as normal as I can be-haha!) The only change I've noticed this week is that I don't seem to have the ravenous appetite that I previously had and I don't seem as tired...I can actually watch a TV program or play on the computer without falling asleep (seriously it was that bad!) No cravings yet but when that starts hopefully it will be something like yummy chocolate! :)

Been Awhile

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 13:17:35 EST

Hello All! Sorry I haven't been on here for a few days....guess I just didn't feel like it since all that is happening with my sis...and I can't help but feel guilty. Anyway...was a bad weekend for me, had one of my migraines, tried to hang with it but after two days broke down and called the doctor and thank god they have migraine medicine for preganant victims :) All better now just trying to get caught up on everything that didn't get taken care of for two days (mainly work stuff). Jeff i...

Nephews

Wed, 4 Mar 2009 12:06:43 EST

ok, I watched my nephews Hayden and Paxton (ages 10 and 6) last night and told them about my "big" news....found out they already knew....and was relieved that they were happy and understood (I'm not married and didn't know how they would take it). Anyway...they are the funniest little people....they were giving me name suggestions and one of them was cottonball, is that not hillarious!?! That Paxton! :)

Thanks again Mom for coming in and saving the day! Love you!!!

No Rest

Tue, 3 Mar 2009 10:45:43 EST

Ok, last night was my first night to not get a good night sleep-because I have definitely not had a problem with sleeping so far! I tossed and turned and had weird dreams all night, my lower back hurt-and of course got up to pee about a million and one times! I know I will have these kinds of nights but I guess I didn't expect it this early. And of course I'm cutting my caffeine intake down to no more than one glass of coffee in the morning soooo this will be a long sleepy day :P

The cat is out of the bag!

Mon, 2 Mar 2009 13:57:45 EST

Well Jeff and I decided Friday after my doctor's visit on Friday that we would tell our family and friends the big news, because I could hardly stand to keep this exciting news to myself much longer especially since my sister is preggers as well right now. Our due dates are 10 days apart. This is big news for my family because Teri has been trying and I didn't think I could get pregnant...so way exciting times for us right now! Anyway, the family and friends are sooooo excited as you can imag...
