26 weeks

It's almost Christmas, and oh boy I have a present inside of me! I wish I could just take her out and play with her! Oh, and then put her back when I'm done. We have decided to name her Jaden Anne. Jaden means answered prayer in Hebrew. She is definitely something I have wished for. I can't wait to dress her up! I am sooooo in love.....

"monkey" babies

I have spent countless hours crocheting these damn monkeys for the kids' Christmas presents. I will never ever make them again. LOL
I did make the baby a couple toys, a bunny and a bear. they're cute, I will try to get pics taken of them and
post them up too.
I hope they love them!

belly sighting!

I love my cute belly! This is my favorite shirt right now. I love showing off the fact that I am growing a person right now! I feel great, and I am looking forward to Christmas Eve. My cousin Jamie is pregnant too, and I want to get a pic of us together. She is due a little over a month after I am. How cute to have 2 cousins so close in age.

making dolls for the baby

This is the beginning of a doll, the first one I have ever made! It is made from a pair of Brian's old corduroy pants. Aren't I the crafty recycler? Now I just need to put a face on it, and some hair! Then make some clothes!

i love santa

We went downtown Detroit to check out the Russell Street Fair... took this pic in front of Santa to show how much bigger my belly is.
Gotta love it, I do! I love showing off my belly, you will never see me trying to hide it under a tent of a shirt! I am so excited to meet this kid! next Christmas is going to be soooo much fun!

IT"S A GIRL!!!!!

So I was wrong... but my dreams were right!

Isn't she gorgeous? even at 18 weeks, she is beautiful. I did cry though, I so wanted a boy for Brian and Kai. But I knew somehow it was a girl. I have been having dreams that I am changing the baby's diaper and I look and I am like,"OMG where is your penis?" LOL!

my 16 week belly pics

getting there...lol

Growing.... safe and sound :)

Ok, that was scary! This morning I woke up and I was bleeding! Terrified I called Brian and asked him to come home. I called the midwife and she said to come down to the hospital for an ultrasound to make sure everything was ok.

Brian rushed home and we took off for the hospital. We arrived around 1:30pm, and immediately were taken back into the ultrasound room. The technician who did the scan was amazing! She told us right off that my cervix wasn't dilating at all. Everything looked good she said. I asked her if we could tell the sex of the baby and she shot that down!
"nope, they all look the same still at this point"
Bummer! So we have to wait until the anatomical scan in the 18th week... arggg...

So glad to know everything is okay! But bummed to know that I had to get that dammed RhoGam shot, since I am rH negative and Brian is rH positive. It hurt so bad! :(

starting to look pregnant!!

14 weeks pregnant, I am starting to feel a little less nauseated every day.* THANKS GOD! profusely...
Can't fit into any of my clothes, so my hunny bear bought me a couple pairs of pants for my birthday...
He's gonna be such a good daddy!
:)

There's a baby in there!!

OUR BABY!! 10 weeks 2 days old! OMG how cute, tiny, amazing..... only 8 more weeks until we find out if it's a boy or a girl. I think it is a boy... but i am not sure. All I do know is that I am sooooo sick. I can't eat anything! I have lost about 10 pounds at this point from it all. YUCK!

We went to the hospital today because I have been so sick and because I was having some pain. The Doctor wanted to make sure I didn't have a tubal pregnancy. nope, the baby is attached inside my uterus, growing wonderfully. My due date is March 26th, 2009. UGGGHHH 30 more weeks until I get to meet this cutie face to face. I am excited.
