Everything is looking good :) I was a little worried that this appointment would show high blood pressure and I'd be put on bed rest. That wasn't the case. HOORAY! My mom, sister, and I are going out this weekend and I was so worried I'd miss it.
Anyway, baby girl is measuring right on and her heart tones are good. She is moving almost constantly and I'm growing bigger every day. Sometimes it feels like she's going to come right out of my belly button! How can I possibly get any bigger? I honestly feel like there is no room left! I know every pregnant woman gets to this point. I guess I figured I'd get there a little later.
So, this weekend I'm also test driving a 2007 Kia Rondo. It has seats for 7, but is smaller than a van. It's also quite a bit cheaper. It will be the newest car we've ever gotten and only has 38,000 miles on it. We are so in love with this car, and we haven't even really seen it yet! I guess that's what we get for dreaming ;)
Christmas was wonderful. It was so nice to spend it with our families. We are so blessed.
Happy Holidays!

Oops, a little behind!
So, I've kinda forgot about my blog. It's not the only thing I've forgotten lately. This pregnancy brain has really got me going!
Anyway, for a quick medical update, our baby girl is doing great! She is always measuring right on. I feel her move almost constantly. She's about 5 pounds now. Can you believe it? I can't! If she comes when Sis made her appearance, that's in two weeks. If we can hold out for when Buddy came, that's four weeks. We would rather she didn't come too early. We went through two weeks with Sis in the NICU and I'd like to avoid that if at all possible.
Actually, it probably is possible. My blood pressure has been great throughout this pregnancy. I may have a slight case of white coat high blood pressure because my last one was a bit high. However, I had taken it the night before in the Shopko pharmacy and it was very normal.
In other news, we are way excited for Christmas around here. Buddy keeps asking if it's Christmas day yet. It must be so hard to be three and not really grasp the concept of time. Sis is able to use a calendar to count down with, so she is content.
We are also looking for a bigger car to fit our growing family. We've been hunting online mostly. We really should get out of the house and into dealerships in order to find what we want. We'll be able to do that soon. Likely January because I have no desire to pay registration every December. :)

That's a lotta love
I love coming on here Saturdays and seeing a new little pic of what my baby may look like now. I've been feeling her move several times a day now. It's such a sweet experience. Have I ever mentioned that I love the 2nd trimester?

Feeling so blessed
I can not believe the turn this year has taken. It started out so difficult in February with my miscarriage and then thinking this one would miscarry as well in June. I've been obsessed with having a baby for two years now. I feel so blessed that I don't worry about getting pregnant anymore. It's been very stressful.
Yesterday we went to the dr. for an appointment as well as our ultrasound. We decided to take Sis with us because we figured she could handle sitting quietly while watching. She did fantastic! Also, I think having her there really motivated the technician to find out the sex of our baby because she kept talking about how happy she would be to have a sister.
Well, Sis got her wish! We are having a baby girl. She is perfect as far as we can see and she's measuring right on for my due date. Her name will likely be Rosalie Joy because she has already filled our lives with so much joy. The pictures we got of her are so precious. She is so loved already.
I can't wait to meet her!

not much going on...YAY!
After going through such a CRAZY June, I'm happy to report that life is pretty boring at the moment. Sis is getting very excited to go to school next week. What is she most looking forward to? Eating lunch at school. LOL! Even trying new food. I read her the menu for September and she said she was fine with trying everything. I guess it's time for me to let go and let her decide what she'll eat for lunch. A couple of days being really hungry after not eating much may cure her of all sorts of pickyness ;)
Buddy is growing up so quickly. Today while he was chattering at me (you know how 3 year-olds are) I noticed that I could understand nearly everything he said very clearly. In fact, the times I don't understand him are because he's using either a made-up word or the wrong word and I haven't caught on yet.
Both kids have grown significantly in the last year. Sis has grown 2 inches since October and Buddy an inch since May. I am so blessed to have these children as mine to raise.
Chip and I have gone to marriage counseling. Ok, not what you think! It's a study at the local university and we decided it would be an easy $20 :) So, we each had to fill out a survey on our relationship. Not that it will surprise anyone here, but the girl in charge of our "case" was highly impressed that we work so well together. It was a little difficult to set goals for us to work on as we didn't have any weaknesses the survey is meant to uncover so they can be fixed. I am in no way saying we have the perfect relationship. I guess I'm saying we've decided what is important in our married life and have stuck to it. We have similar values and goals and that helps us get to where we want to be.
I am so blessed to be married to Chip. I really don't think I'm very easy to live with, but he insists he wouldn't have me any other way. What a guy! Especially to say that after the last three months I've put him through (aka. 1st trimester). He is an amazing husband and father. I don't know how I got him, but I'm so glad I did!

My Last Day
Today is my last day in the first trimester! I cannot believe I'm here. I've really begun to wonder if I can handle three kids. My poor children are suffering through my pregnancy almost as much as I am! I cannot believe how little patience I have when I don't feel well. I'm really looking forward to the second trimester. I hope it treats me well. I need a break :)
In other news, I'm going to my 10 year high school reunion in the next couple of weeks. How can I be that old? LOL! I am so looking forward to meeting up with old friends. I can't deny that it's going to be nice to be in maternity clothes and actually looking pregnant instead of just fat.
Life is good!

Looking good!
So, I went to my dr. today and everything looks great. We got to hear the heartbeat and it was good and strong. I don't get sick nearly as often and I've actually gained a little bit of weight during this 1st trimester. I'm not exactly thrilled about that since I usually lose 10-15 pounds and then gain it back plus just a little bit by the delivery. I'm really going to have to watch it to make sure I don't gain too much this time.
We're having a baby!!!
