OMG!! There is a real little person in there!!

So I visited the doctor on October 5th for my 20 week checkup, and I was due for an ultrasound to check the baby's size, development, hear the heartbeat, and TRY to see the sex of the baby!  EXCITING right!?!?  Yes, always but baby was not having it and so the sex is still unknown!  On that day, baby was 15 ounces, moving about with a strong heartbeat, and is now due on VALENTINES DAY!!!! What a wonderful day to welcome new life?!!? I am actually hoping that Valentines Day will turn out to be the birthday & what do you know that is my mom and her twin sister's birthday!! 

So, as it stands, we have yet to start the name discussion.  Daddy and I were waiting to learn the sex of the baby before starting that discussion, and it looks like we will have to wait a little longer...for now anyway!  It's SOOOO exciting to look at the sonogram now and see nose, mouth, arms, body, and it looks like this baby is shaping up to look just like daddy :(

So that is the update!  EXCITING STUFF!! Next appointment is November 2nd!!!  Stay tuned!!

BABY NAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!

So of course the naming of the baby will be the choice of me and daddy, BUT I want your help too!!!

Who has the best baby name? We don't know the sex yet so just hit me with your best choices for boys and **girls**!! We don't have cultural preferences or preferences for a specific letter or anything, but nothing weird like Apple LOL no offense Jewel!! Wasn't that her kid's name?!? Oh and nothing evil like Damian...meanings matter but they don't. They only matter if they have a known negative stigma attached to them...this is blessed baby so no EVIL OR BAD THINGS!! THANKS!

Pitter Patter of little feet is almost here...

My mom, in her quest to be the best grandmother ever, bought my first baby items!! It made my day...we are all so excited!! Thank you mommy *xoxo*

I hope to be a great a mother to my little BLESSING as she has been to my siblings and I!

19 weeks!!!

I'm 19weeks and 2days! I do have a baby bump now which the next post will show. What else has been going on? I went maternity shopping, been to see the doctor a couple times and baby's heartbeat is strong each time THANK YOU GOD!!! I mean, really, I'm just enjoying the second trimester with no sickness, little weight gain, and I feel little FLUTTERS here and there *YAAAAY #FISTPUMP. You know they say it's back to the DRAMA in the 3rd trimester LOL!!!! Its back to the doctor next Wednesday for a checkup and ultrasound so hopefully we can start brainstorming about what to call this little person after finding out the sex, but no matter what, boy or girl, we PRAY FOR a HAPPY & HEALTHY LITTLE ONE!! It has been an easy pregnancy by medical numbers, I am in the last week of my 4th month, but considering the two weeks added from the last menstrual cycle, I'm REALLY about 17weeks in practical numbers...Yea, calculate that, Memorial Day Weekend 2011 has definitely been memorialized around these parts!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the new fall season...I can't wait 'til next fall to take pics of my little bundle in his/her first Halloween costume!!!! YES, I am sold!! becoming a mommy is a dream come true for me *xoxoxo* check me out at www.opinionofaglamchik.blogspot.com as well!!

To those following this blog: I am not sure, but I just have not had the energy to keep this blog as updated as I would like. I have yet to make a definite decision about whether I will continue with the blog. However, it is a real and constant thought.

I shall keep my readers posted! Xoxox

12 Weeks!!!!!!

Hey followers and anonymous readers! I promised I would document my pregnancy and I am...I just wanted to at least reach the 3 month milestone mark BEFORE doing so. As you can see by the title of the post I am now 12 weeks, 3 months!!! As of yesterday Sunday, August 7, 2011 I am 12 weeks pregnant. I had a doctor's appointment this past Friday and it was amazing to see my baby inside of me, a little bigger, wiggling, very active, and not wanting to have his/her picture taken. Everytime the doctor tried to take a sonogram of the baby facing forward, the baby would turn away just as he decided to take the pic...LOL stubborn little one already!

Anyway, 3 months is great! I'm now able to look at the sonograms and point to the head, arms, hands, legs, feet, body...which is all still very tiny but there forming wonderfully and functioning properly! The 12 week mark has also meant another milestone for me. The first trimester blues seems to be ending and my energy is coming back; my days are more active, nights are longer, and nausea is ALMOST nonexistent, but I'm told that is for now until the dreaded 3rd trimester LOL!!

Anywho, since I realized I was pregnant, I have been receiving weekly email and alerts to my phone from www.babycenter.com (visit them) about the changes that are occuring with the baby weekly and other useful information regarding pregnancy. I thought since it has been so long, I would share what the alert said this week about the baby's development....

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder. Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.

Again that was courtesy of the trusty babycenter.com!!!!

I look forward to those alerts every week!

I'm going to put the sonogram up a little later! It's going to be wonderful to see my baby grow from an image on a sono to a little person in a few months!!! Yayyyy!!!!
