New Pics

So last night we had another ultrasound. This one made everything even more real. The technician puts me at 13 weeks and a day. She also said she believes it to be a girl but not to paint the room yet. We are pretty sure it's a girl! Bean got moved around so much last night that she got the hiccups, it's was so funny to see her bouncing up and down with them. The most important part of it all was hearing that her spinal fluid is normal, which means atm the chances of downs is lessened. I still have blood tests to wait for for other markers but I should have those next week.

Something happened to me last night that has never happened. As they were taking blood my blood would stop flowing into the vials. For 3 vials of blood I got stabbed 4 times. Ask me if I am amused??? NOT! Oh well I will put up with alot for our little bean.

Hope you enjoy the pics :)

New link to visit

Today I added a new blog to visit http://marissasbunny.com/. My husband sent me this link he got it from penny arcade. At first I didn't want to look at it, being pregnant I am highly emotional and don't want to know of any negatives affecting a child. Of course I am a curious person so I started reading it. Yes it brought tears to my eyes.

I ask that you please take a minute and visit it.

Baby Names

When I was younger ( in my 20's ) I knew what I wanted to name my daughter and son if I ever had one, little did I factor in the wishes of the potential father at the time. Now we come to the fact that I am pregnant and that my husband does have a say in what we name the baby. Pfft who gave them the right to have a say ( just joking darling).

Finding a name is not as easy as one might think! We are leaning towards a Celtic name, both of us have Scottish backgrounds ( my grandfather was born in Aberdeen ). I am drawn to that part of my heritage more so than the french part of me. I also don't want a common name. One that when "she" ( watch the baby be a boy ) goes to school there will be 3 others with the same name. My husband likes girls names that start with a K he claims all his favorite names start with a K. So that really limits us, I have thrown some names at him but he dismisses them all. I really like Moira and Siobhan, but he doesn't. You also when picking a name have to figure on how well it will flow with your last name. So if anyone has some ideas feel free to throw them out there for us. Any help would be appreciated .

God Parents

So how do you go about choosing who should be your child's god parent? Do you pick family without a doubt? Best friend? Someone who shares the same faith as you? or do you just pick someone you know will be a good example for your child?

That's where we are now choosing the god parents, well to be honest the god father. I have always known that my best friend would be the god mother. She raises her boys in the same way that I want to raise my child. She will give "her" the strength she'll need. So now I leave the choice of god father up to my husband. He's debating between two people ( more or less there may be one more in there who knows ) and it's a family member or friend. How do you make the decision?

Withdrawal

Ok let's not have Wendy read this cause she'll bug me about it. I have been 2 nights without a Bones episode. I am now in withdrawal I need to watch one. I find myself not wanting to play my game at night cause I want to get in at least 2 episodes. I watched the episode "The man in the fallout Shelter", definately not one to watch pregnant when your hormones are all in an uproar, a tear jerker for sure.

I haven't been able to pick a favorite one yet, but then again I haven't finished season one. When I finish watching the season I will let you all know my favorite. My husband has only watched one episode, doesn't seem promising that he will watch more. Oh well I guess we can't like all the same shows right?

Week 12

So I am in week 12 of my pregnancy, starting to feel a bit better the morning sickness is less and the tiredness not as intense. I go on Thursday for an ultrasound so hopefully I will have a new pic to post then. I am starting to relax now that nothing will go wrong with the pregnancy. Also my husband and I are going to start taking pictures of my belly every month, I might post those too. Believe it or not I am already starting to show!

I haven't' decided whether to make another blog for the baby to one day look at or just do a scrapbook. I like the idea of scrapbooking.. just need to get my table properly set up.. hint hint husband of mine :).

My mother has said that my aunt intends to buy me the cadillac of strollers.. She did it for her kids and wants to do it for me, I think that will be great. I also have a friend who lives in Las Vegas making a quilt for the baby. While I was in Disney I bought some stuffed animals to decorate the babies room.. Now starts the really fun part planning "her" room.

Bones it is

Ok so Wendy won. She wanted me to start watching the t.v. series Bones. Well last night I caved and bought season 1. To be honest I had watched an episode when it first came out and hated it. Why you ask? Because I am an avid fan of Kathy Reichs books and couldn't help but compare the characters in the book to the show, needless to say they are different. So last night I made myself not compare and just watch the show for what it was. Well I went through 4 episodes in one night.

I can't wait to watch some more. Now I wonder if I can get the husband to watch them with me??

Disney Pics

here's some of the pics !

Disney in Aug

OMG HOT & HUMID. However we had a great time.. I was pleased to see that my stepdaughter tried all the rides that she either didn't last year or cried so much on last year again. Guess what??? She loved them. She tried Space Mountain and LOVED IT, she even asked to go on it alone ( her dad hurt his neck ) as long as he waited in line with her. I think her next favourite was Test Track speeding cars for the win. She started to show us her independence this year which is great to see.

What did I do? Well I enjoyed a good book and waited patiently for my family to finish enjoying their rides. I did discover that I could learn to sleep in :). I also found out that the baby does not like mexican food. OMG heartburn I think my husband spent 30 min that night rubbing my back litterally burping me!

I am now in my 11th week of pregnancy and starting to relax with it.. The morning sickness now comes in waves can last for a few days then disappear which was great I didn't suffer too much on vacation. I'm not at my desk so I will make another post with pictures :)

Bean pic 2

So today was the second ultrasound, I am now 9 1/2 weeks pregnant. I saw the heartbeat and Chris and the technician saw "her" move her arm. It now feels more like a reality to me. "Her" heart is strong and there seems to be no complications. So I share with you my second pic.

Trouble

So I got in trouble from a friend the other day for not blogging more.. I admit I have been lax, but omg when they say you get exhausted being pregnant they mean it. I love weekends cause I can nap twice :). As of this moment I am on vacation for two weeks WOOT!. We leave for disney in a few days, boy is that going to be an experience. Pregnant at Disney = no rides :(. However it's well worth it.

On tuesday I go get another ultrasound, so there should be a pic to follow so stay tuned.
