So Fast! Too Fast?

So, just when I thought this pregnancy couldn't go any slower, I woke up this morning & thought "OH MY GOD I AM IN THE THIRD TRIMESTER!!!" At first it was like YAY, but then it dawned on me "OH (blank) ONLY 13 WEEKS LEFT!!!" and I got really scared.....I know I am going to love getting to meet my little girl, and know my family is beside themselves with anticipation as well.....I am just so nervous knowing I have only 90-some odd days till she's here & I'll have to go back into "newborn" mode again.....with the sleepless nights & crazy tired days and deal with some things for the 1st time (like having a GIRL instead of boys, cloth diapering, having 2 kids in school this year, etc etc etc).....and I just feel so overwhelmed with all that still needs to be done around here and things that need to be gotten and knowing I am heading towards being even more uncomfortable than I already am and BIGGER *ugh*.....not to mention the whole labor thing altogether and wanting to go on my own & not be induced like the others......I know I know, praying would surely help out I know....it's just some people not too long ago mentioned the time where panic just sets in for a pregnant woman, and I think that time has officially hit for me!! God help me PLEASE.....I could use some solace right about now {8'O

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

So, I've been feeling movement for quite some time now, but I have found something that'll really get baby B going, and that's watermelon! I ate some a few days ago & boy did she go! It actually shocked me because she went from quiet to rollin' rollin' rollin' in a matter of minutes! It was so surprising I shouted out "what are you doing???", in turn scaring Jerry haha! At least I now know what to eat when it gets to the "kick count" stage of things, if B gets too quiet in there ;)

So We Had an Ultrasound Today and.....

We're !!!!!
We are sooooooooooooo excited!! I can't believe we are FINALLY getting our girl!! YAY!!!!! The boys are happy about it too, which in turn makes me happy. They are going to make awesome big brothers! Gabe has been playing like he's having a baby too and looooooooooves real babies.....and Garrett was wonderful when Gabe was born, so so helpful! He even wants to be there when this one is born....we'll see about that LOL

To tell the truth I had been buying a couple of things "just in case" this was a girl *shhhhhh* haha, but our first "official" purchase for her was a pink onsie yesterday with "Daddy's Girl" on the front of it. I thought Jerry was going to cry when I said we should get that *awwwwww* =)

Heartbeat at Home!

FINALLY, we got to hear the heartbeat at home on my doppler! What a sweet sweet sound! I feel alot of relief in knowing I can find it at home now, since it was between 13 weeks & 17 weeks that I lost my last babe. I won't check it every day, seeing as babies actually don't like the doppler, maybe 1-2 times/week will do. OH, and I felt a tiny little flutter when I was listening last night.....that was way cool! You can hear when it happens on the doppler too, like a little "thump" on a mic. I am so excited now, as this baby appears like s/he will be a-okay!

A Pic of the Baby

Finally got a pic of the baby on here, enjoy! =) S/he was waving to us!

Double Whew!

I had an ultrasound done today, and found out I am actually 12w4d instead of 11w6d, so I am that much closer to the 2nd tri than first thought! (Which of course makes me very happy!) All looked good according to the sonographer, and my doc agreed. The heart was beating away @ 164bpm, and we got to hear it, which was awesome! Baby waved at us a few times too =) Hee hee!

We stopped by the cemetery to say hey to Mamaw, seeing as today is/would have been her 86th birthday. We got her a nice red rose. Told her to take good care of our wee one that's waiting for us. It was a pretty pleasant visit, even though of course it would have been better if she was still here on Earth. I miss her alot! I know she's looking out for me though, which is a great feeling.

All in all I think today was a wonderful day for me to have the great doc appt/US I got =)

OH, it's also the 5 anniversary of Jerry's & my 1st date.....so I guess it was triple the goodness today, eh? He he!

Whew!

So, we had the homestudy today for Garrett's adoption.....or should I say "what homestudy? more like a chit chat for all of 20 minutes!" WHEW! What a relief that's over! The social worker said more than likely everything should be finalized by the end of April (woohoo!), although the timeline for getting his new birth certificate is running 6-9 months. But, according to her, we only need to show the court decree of adoption to change his name on records till then. Hope that is the case because he's been waiting too long now to officially become a "Williams". I am so excited that the homestudy (or lack thereof) went so well....I was so scared over nothing! *LOL*

Temple here we come!!! YAY!!!
