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! :(
