Childcare

Dave and I went to a childcare informational class which told us the things that we need to do to watch other children as well as our own.  HOLY MOLY!!!  I never knew how much goes into being registered.  Boy oh boy!  The good news is that I only wanted to watch two children, and you do not have to be registered for that.  The bad news is, if I cut my salary in half, I would have to charge much above the average wage.  Without me being registered, we are not seeing as likely for the other parents.

So here we are.  Let the stress begin.  We will begin interviewing providers soon.  This decision is causing much emotion.  I do not trust anyone with our baby, and I feel awful for sending our child to another party.  If we would like to remain in the home we have created, this is what has to get done.  I love our home, I hope our child understands the sacrifice that we had to go through to assure that we still live a well life.

15 week apointment

Well, after much anxiety (I have no idea why), we are still doing well!  150 beats per minute.  This baby is consistent....he he!  I tried to beg for an ultrasound, but I was denied :-(  I just can't wait to discover our daughter or son!! 

I recorded the doppler on my phone, but I do not have the proper SD card, so I cannot transfer it to the computer.  We'll see.  I will try.

I jave been havingcrazy horrible headaches, and FINALLY, my doctor (one of the several I have seen) gave me a perscription.  So, I am excited to have some hope of relief.  Yesterday, my headache came when I woke up, and then was still there when I went to bed.  UGH!!  I was concerened that this was because of my blood pressure, which is what the nurse was thinking too, but my blood pressure looks good, so that is a good thing!!!

So we have our BIG appointment April 27 (Dave's birthday).  We will find out ALL the goods!  It is sooooo long away form now!!  I can't wait!!  Right now our somewhat storng names are Jordyn (for a girl) and Logan (for a boy).  Getting both of us to agree is a chore!

11 week 2 day appointmnet

We (well, I) heard the heartbeat!!!!  Before we could see it, but now we heard it.  I am so practical.  Everyone talks about how amazing it was to hear the heartbeat, and when I heard it, I was thinking, "OK, there it is."  I guess I just knew what to expect.  I just want to feel our little one move or kick, then I think I will be convinced that everything is OK.

The heartbeat was 150 beats per minute.  Right smack in the middle of where we should be.  Dave's mom anticipates hearing where we are with the heartbeat, and uses that piece of information to predict the gender.  No luck so far.  Our baby is down right average...lol.  I had feelings that we are having a boy, but all of the sudden, I have even stronger feelings that we are having a girl.  Only time will tell.  Hopefully, late April is when we will be able to know.

No ultrasound that visit.  Next visit either :-(.  Stay tuned!!

7 week Doctor visit

OK, so I know that this is a little late. I will blame it on my fatigue that I was experiencing. I can also be down right lazy at times...lol

Our 7 week appointment went very well!! We were 7 weeks and 4 days along, and we measured 8 weeks and 3 days......HOLY BIG BABY coming!! We'll see if he/she will keep up the pace. The heartbeat was right where it should be. We would have another appointment in 4weeks. My anxiety has subsided, and we are well past the stage that we miscarried before, so we all feel comfortable with waiting another 4 weeks. Here is the ultra sound. What a BIG difference!!!
