23 Week Check Up

We had our check up today and everything went well!! We got to hear her heartbeat; a very strong 150 beats per minute. =) They also measured me for the first time and said I was right on measuring exactly 23 inch’s! The Dr. also gave me the lab request to go do the Glucose testing where you get to drink some sugary drink then wait for an hour to give blood. Yuck! She said you do not have to fast before you go just don’t eat Frosted Flakes or Lucky Charms for breakfast….which is kind of ironic because right now I eat Frosted Flakes every morning for Breakfast. So I am wondering what do I eat then....?

It is amazing how far medicine has come these days; due to my blood type being O- I will have to get a shot at my next appointment so my body does not develop antibodies to fight off the next baby. The Doctor said this Baby will be fine but if I do not get this shot, the next time I am pregnant my body will try to fight off and attack the Baby as if it is a foreign object. We do not want that!! She also said if the Baby is born and has the blood type of RH positive they will have to give me another shot. (This is all a cliffs notes version of what was sai, and what I can remember from what the Dr. said… I am not a Doctor.) I do not like shots but know this is something I will have to do and will be well worth it to make sure we are healthy. it is amazing to me that we are able to catch and prevent these things…God is Amazing!

Bedding and the Crib!!

The bedding is in and the crib has been ordered!! The bedding is so cute!!! Below are some pictures of the bedding and the crib we ordered!









She is so active anymore and I love it!! It is so neat to feel her bouncing around!! Jeffrey says she is playing hard to get because as soon as he or I puts our hand on my stomach she stops, even if it is just a finger she stops! She is so silly! =) She is bouncing around right now and I can't help but smile =) I can’t wait for Jeffrey to be able to feel her kicking around.

And my coworkers are still at it with the names!! We definitely don’t need a baby book!! We are leaning towards Taylor Nicole right now. We do like Riley but it is so popular anymore.

Baby Bedding!

We have found our bedding!!! Well my Mom found it for us online at Pottery Barn Kids and after both Jeffrey and I liking it, she has ordered it for us!! Thank you Mom!!

We will not go overboard with the birds and will only keep the bedding in that pattern. The room is already painted a green which will match perfectly!! I can’t wait to see it all come together!!

Here is the bedding

Baby Registry

We just got finished or half way finished with our Babies R Us Registry!!! That was so much fun!! We never realized how much stuff there is and how much stuff you will really use! I think we are going to do Target tomorrow. If you have any suggestions on our registry; what we forgot to register for, what we registered for and won’t ever use please let us know!! We really need to decide on our baby bedding so we can start narrowing down our baby bedding color choices. Jeffrey did want to know if we could register for some new truck tires w/that store gun =)

You Make Me Smile

This has been such a joyous time in our life and I can honestly say so far I have enjoyed every minute of being pregnant! One of my favorite things to do since we found out we are having a little girl is to go open up her closet and look at all of her clothes so far!! You just can’t help but smile when you see all of those adorable and cute clothes hanging there!!!

We are starting to look at Baby Bedding and would love some feedback!!
