June 24th - Addyson!?

So - SHE decided to cooperate for the ultrasound tech today! Looks like we will be having an Addyson Nicole in November. Nana and Dad are EXCITED. I am pretty sure Mom is, too, she didn't really care what gender. Scott is happy it's healthy ... and well, Crystal is already buying dresses!! ;) LOL! I'm adjusting, I think. The colors girls wear, are a bit scary. I'm not known to be the biggest PINK fan in the world, nor do I care for Purple. But I do like Red, Brown, Green...I think it will be okay. Addy will be sporting some gender neutral clothes, though...oh and don't forget about BURNT ORANGE! Charlie was in shock for awhile. After we found out the results, he took me to eat at Johnny Carino's (I LOVE their angel hair pasta and spicy marinara) and he was pretty quiet. He said he just needed to "process" it! :) Last night, though, he was back to rubbing my belly...and this morning was probing her with his finger in the truck - "Wake up, Wake up". He'll be wrapped around her little finger in no time - just like with him and Missy. Spoiled Heifer!

Micah and I are going to head to the outlet mall today to catch some sales. Carters AND OshKosh are having a $3.99 and up sale, and we have some AWESOME coupons! I'm mainly going to look around and adjust...we shall see! I'll have to stay out of the neutral and little boy section and head over to the pink and frilly bows section! Yikes!

**Will upload pics in awhile.**

June 19th - Hiding Turkey

We went for our 3D ultrasound on June 19th to find out the gender of our little Turkey! Well, the lady pushed and prodded and Turkey still didn't want to show the goods. I was a little upset, but I did get to see and hear the heartbeat, and its little spine! All looks good so far. We go back in this Wednesday to try again. I will hopefully come out with some pictures, a video, and the GENDER of the Turkey! Fingers crossed everyone!

July 9th is our next appointment with the OB. They will perform the anatomy scan that day. Will have some 2D pics to post after that one! Turkey will be right at 22 weeks.

Random Update...for fun!

We finally got to hear our little peanut on the home doppler. Took awhile to find the little rascal, but it finally decided to slow down and let us have a listen, but only for a couple seconds, then it was off swimming again! I have also been feeling lots of baby somersaults, lately! Charlie got to feel them the other night. I put his hand under my belly and laid down on the bed. That Turkey is like his Momma, doesn't liked to be squished, and was squirming all around! It was only temporary, promise. I have been getting HUGE headaches lately, and my bloof pressure has been a little low, but the doc is having me take zyrtec to try and curb the headaches. I'm also going to go see a chiropractor, I think my rib is out of place again.
So, hopefully that will fix me up.

Our 3D/4D ultrasound is NEXT Friday, June 19th. I can't believe it is only a week away. I'm getting excited! Our regular gender ultrasound is on July 9th (day before my 30th b'day), and we are excited to see our healthy peanut swimming!

Appt. #4 - June 9th!

Yesterday was our 4th appt with the doc. Very routine, thankfully!
I actually went with questions this time, I was SOOO proud of myself. I have only gained 8 lbs so far - right on track. I have been feeling flutters in the right side. Well, not really flutters, it feels like someone is thumping me from the inside! She changed my vitamins, the other ones were giving me some issues. I did finally ask about my bloodwork though, that was taken on the first visit. Everything, for the most part looked great, except my rubella imunnity isn't what it is supposed to. When I had my MMR shot (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) when I was young, seems my body didn't take it like it was supposed to. So after having my baby, they will give me a shot in the hospital! Greeeeat. Booo! Also found out, if we have a boy that the OB does the "cutting", so less to worry about with the pediatrician. Good to know. Other than that, the only BIG news is our gender scan ultrasound will be July 9th at 11 in the morning! ....


...but of course, Chuck and I are impatient...so we are going in on June 19th to have a 3D ultrasound performed!! I should know NEXT Friday! How exciting is that! Wahoo! Happy Birthday to Chuck! (June 21st)

Intelligender...Fact or Fiction?

So, as a surprise this weekend, Crytal bought me an Intelligender test! Many people on the messageboard I read have taken it, and it probably about 75% accurate. I took it yesterday morning, and read the results within the 10 minute window! Now, I'm not going out to buy blankets and the bedding on this result...but it REALLY looks Green, which would equal BOY! We shall see...

Here are the results. You are supposed to compare the color at the bottom with the color of the band. The Girl band is "orange-ish or deep yellow" and boy band is "green-ish, cloudy". The bands are on opposite sides of the tester bottle.
