Celebrating The Expectance

February 21, 2009 we had our baby shower. I invited a lot of people, but was disappointed that only a select few actually showed up. I had so many games and a lot of food, but we had 6 people show up. I got some really useful things though. I got bottles, clothes galore, laundry baskets, a boppy, a diaper bag and a ton more things. Overall it was ok, but I think it would have been more fun if more people showed up. 

3D Ultrasound at 30 Weeks

We went February 4th and had the second 3D ultrasound done. I think the first one was better, but we got some good shots with this one too! 

24 Week 3D Ultrasound

So I got my big christmas present today! My grandma paid for me and my hubby to have a 3d sono done! I am 24 weeks, 25 on Monday and we are going to have another one done in Januray when I am around 28 or 29 weeks to see how much he has grown!

Lilly Ann Marie

Im going to keep this short because Im not comfortable telling all the details just yet. I was 7 weeks along and I had gone to the doctor for my first prenatal visit. I knew something wasn't right so I begged and pleaded for an ultrasound to make sure everything was ok. The doctor refused so we did my lab work and went home. I had this burning sensation in my stomach because I knew something wasn't right. About 2 or 3 hours after we got home I started gushing blood. All I remember was screaming and not being able to move from shock. Travis helped me into the bathroom and ran to get his mom and my phone so I could call my doctors office. I remember calling and them telling me to go straight to the hospital. I got dressed and got in the car. All I remember the whole was there was crying and shaking. I was so scared. I remember getting to the hospital and they refused to do anything right away. I remember being told by so many people that I was miscarrying and that they wouldn't do anything. Those are not words that a pregnant mom wants to ever hear. They finally got us back and after waiting about an hour we were finally taken down for an ultrasound. They normally show you everything thats going on, but this time something was wrong. The tech turned the screen and only turned it around once she had it in one spot and had it zoomed in a lot. I knew something was wrong. We got to see the baby and hear the heartbeat. They took us back up to the room and shortly after came in and dismissed us. I don't remember much after the ultrasound or really anything those next 2 weeks. I remember being very depressed and just all I wanted to do was lay in bed. I never knew about Lilly until August of 2009 when I was thinking things over with the pregnancy and things just didn't add up. I talked to a nurse at my midwives office, who after looking over my chart and seeing my first HCG levels, said that there was a very high possibility that there were 2 babies and I miscarried one. This would make sense because I had dreams all throughout my pregnancy of this beautiful baby girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. I miss Lilly tons, but I know she is in heaven looking over her brother.

All The Small Things Make Something Big

At 7 weeks along I had to go to the hospital (I'll explain in another post) and they did an ultrasound of our little bean. We got to see the baby, so small and tiny, and also got to hear his heartbeat. It was the best thing ever! I first felt the baby move at 12 weeks, just like little butterflies in my stomach, but by 21 weeks I could make out a foot from an arm. 

Could It Really Be True?

Am I really pregnant? Yes, it seems to be so. We tested August 15, 2008 and got a positive. A big fat huge PREGNANT came up on the screen! I am so happy and excited! I know things will be rough, but I'm excited to bring this little life into the world. I think both of us are extremely happy right now, just scared. The only people who know at this point are a few very close friends and our parents. Once we know the pregnancy is going to stick we are planning on telling everyone else.
