I felt something..............

I felt the baby move yesterday! She was moving alot! Woo-hoo. Finally.

The baby is okay...........

Here is Emberly! In case you can't tell what you are looking at, it is a profile picture of her. She is laying on her back and her hand is up by her mouth. Yeah, I know, it's hard to tell. Sorry. Hopefully I can get a better one at my next visit.

I had my OB and perinatal appointment yesterday. I got to see her on the ultrasound and she was moving around so now I can rest a little easier. The doctor said that I should start feeling movement in a few weeks.

My cervix is still long, which is good. My blood pressure is good. And I've only gained 3 lbs since the beginning of the pregnancy.

The next appointment with the perinatal doc, they will test me to see if I will give birth prematurely. I didn't know they could test for that, but it seems they can. Technology is amazing.

A lady I work with is giving me her crib mattress, and another lady at work bought me a highchair. So things are coming together well. My other friend Gerrie and her mom are buying the stroller and carseat. My friend Mori is buying all kinds of clothes. I'm sure Emberly will be the best dressed baby in daycare! LOL

I am truely blessed with such great people in my life.

Monday...........

It's Monday again...... Maybe I am just being paranoid, but I haven't felt the baby move and I am 21 weeks now. Other than my belly being big, I don't feel like I'm pregnant.

I have 2 appointments tomorrow (OB and perinatologist). I will get another sonogram, and hopefully I will see her moving then.

Boy this pregnancy is going soooooooooooooooo SLOW!

So tired.............

This picture is me at 20 weeks and 3 days.


I am so tired. It usually hits me around 2:00 pm at work. I can barely keep my eyes open. Maybe I could just shut my office door and take a quick nap? LOL

Oh yeah, I got a crib for $30 off www.craigslist.com! It was definitely used, but seemed to be in good condition. Jordyn and I tried to put it together yesterday, but got stuck. There are some left over pieces that I'm not sure where they go. Guess I will go to Target or Walmart and look at the cribs that are put together and see if I can figure it out!

Other than that, I am doing okay. I still fit my regular clothes (can't fasten my pants), but still need to start looking at maternity pants here real soon.

God Bless.

Cloth diapers

A friend of mine and his wife use cloth diapers and they said in the long run, it will save them money. So I am thinking about going that route.

I will do some research and see what I can find.

Friday

I gave myself the 17P shot this morning and for some reason it hurt! It's hard to see a needle going in and your the one that is making it happen!

I was supposed to go to Henderson NV for work the week after next, but I think I may stay put. With this swine flu going around, I don't know if I want to chance it. Am I being too scared?
