Yay, Heartbeat!!!!

So on July 1, I bought Baby Sounds B Fetal Doppler. For those who don't know what a doppler is, it's an ultrasound that the DR or NP uses to find the heartbeat of the baby. No image, just get to hear the heartbeat. Well, I got it on July 6 and have been trying since then to find the baby's heartbeat. So finally last night as I was playing with it (like i have been almost every night), I finally found the heartbeat! It was the coolest thing ever! Of course I've heard my baby's heartbeat at the Dr's office. But now, I get to hear it every night! I did video tape it:



Sorry it's so quiet. I was having a hard time getting a loud and clear sound of the heartbeat. But ti seemed like everytime I tried to move the doppler just a little, I would lose the heartbeat. And of course as soon as I put my phone away I finally found the heartbeat. What was cool that time was I actually followed the baby move from my right side of my tummy to my left. Must have done a sumersault. haha!

Greg is supposed to be home Wednsday night, but he's not quite sure. I really hope that he does! Our Ultrasound is this Thursday. And I really want him to be a part of it. If he can't make it home in time, I'll just videotape it so that he can watch it. His driver Manager is awesome though. She always tries her best to get him home on time. But I know that things happen and doesn't go the way we want.

Update on the party, it looks like we may have it at the William B. Ponds. Right next to the river. I'm going to have to double check on alcohol rule. But even without alcohol, I know it's going to be so exciting!!! I'll be sending out invites on July 21 when I get all the RSVP in to determine where exactly it will be.

Well, i'm off to bed now. I'm really tired! Goodnight all!

Jealousy? No, don't think I have it...

OK, maybe a little. So tonight Greg called to tell me he's having dinner at Hooters. I was actually kind of jealous that he was there! Why??? Because I haven't had hooters wings in like FOREVER!!!! But, he promised me he wouldn't order wings :-) what a sweetie!!!

What, did you all really think I would get Jealous of the girls at Hooters??? Please, I used to go there a few times a month with a few friends of mine. Not only that but I know he talks about me. He tells me his night or day and it's really cute! He was telling me he was flirting with the waitress, but initially told her that it's just friendly flirt as he's married. haha, I really do love that man! And no, I didn't even get jealous at that either! Probably because I know what kind of flirting he was doing. He does it all the time when we're out and it cracks me up. Plus it kind of gives us an idea of how much the waiter/waitress deserves a tip. So, why would I be jealous? I have no reason to. Because the end of it all, he comes back to me. Not to boast or anything, but I think we have a pretty strong marriage. OH! And he bought me a shot glass from hooters!!!! Damn, now I'm craving hooters wings......... Maybe tomorrow? or when greg is home. Just a few more weeks and I get to see the hubby and have the Ultrasound!!! yay!!!!!

So, I had an interesting afternoon... I took Mr. T out for him to potty and to play with him for a little bit and took out the water balloons. Well, I filled about 20 water balloons but was only able to stock up 7 of them. Mr. T kept going after them and popping them shortly after I tied them up. And one of the balloons as I was tying, he decided to jump up and pop it. So I ended up getting splashed in the face... Thanks bubbas... thanks...

I'm trying to think of what else to put here, but I just can't think of any... So until next time... Goodnight!

2nd Prenatal Exam

So on Thursday, May 19, 2011, I had my 2nd prenatal exam. Health-wise, everything is GREAT!!! I even lost 3 lbs since my last prenatal exam! That's a good thing because most women tend to gain around 5lbs their first trimester. Anywho, I got to hear the baby's heartbeat that day! It was at 160 bpm. It was truly amazing to hear!!!! I asked my Nurse Practitioner (NP) about when we'd be able to find out the sex of the baby. So she told me that after the exam, i'll speak with the clerical and set up future appointments including the ultrasound at 19 weeks. So i have 2 future appointments set up and my ultrasound as well. My next prenatal exam will be June 27th and then on July 14th will be my ultrasound. I'll be going to the Dr.'s about once a month up until i'm 36 weeks pregnant and then weekly or bi weekly until i give birth after that.

I'm am to be due around December 8, 2011. We are still very excited and happy to be going on this journey in life.

For our ultrasound on July 14th, that's when we're supposed to know the sex of the baby. But we decided that we want to tell the ultrasound tech that we want him/her to write it on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope. Reason being is because we want to do a "revealing" party. It's not the baby shower, as baby showers tend to be 2 months before the baby's birth. So since it will be in mid July and Mine and Greg's birthday are just a few weeks later, we're going to celebrate our birthdays together the weekend of September 6th and reveal it through a cake. How do we do so, you ask? Well, my mother in law heard this on the Mark and Brian show radio. It's becoming quite popular as well. We're going to give the envelope to the baker of our choice (it's between Ettorie's and Ginger Elizabeth) and tell the baker to have the inside of the cake blue or pink, depending on what the baby's sex is. The frosting will be a neutral color of course and when we cut into our birthday cake, that's when we get to find out the sex of the baby! It's still in the works and I'm probably going to send out invitations in a few weeks. We're still trying to figure out where we want to have the party at.

After the exam, i kept thinking about the baby's heartbeat. For the first hour back to work, i was feeling kind of emotional. But happy as well. I think it was just the excitement of it all! haha

Well, Friday night, Greg surprised me with the help of Adam. Adam asked me if i wanted to go with him to drive down to Salinas, since that's where Greg told me he would be at. And so I said sure. When Adam arrived, Mr. T followed me to the door and he took a look at Adam and looked down the cat walk, looked back at Adam and down the cat walk again. I was wondering why he kept doing that. Then adam said that he brought a gift for me. Shortly after, I heard Greg whistling down stairs. I was so glad to have him home for the weekend! The 3 of us went to Sandra Dee's for dinner that night. Visited Adams dad and his grandparents at his dads for a bit. Then Saturday I went with Greg to go pick up his load out in Salinas. I was so glad I went with him because we were there for hours!!!! He left this morning

So, sorry to ramble like usual, but it's bed time for me. Goodnight all :)
