15 Weeks

So I'm 15 weeks now (well technically tomorrow I will be 16 weeks)! We went to the Doctor on Friday and heard the heartbeat again. It was steady at 160 beats per minute, which according to the wives tale anything over 140 would be a girl. We should be having our u/s on December 10 to see what we are having. If my husband wants to get any type of bday present he should just save the money and decide to find out what we are having with me! That would be the best present ever and I wouldn't have to try and keep it a secret. I go back and forth on what I want. I've always wanted a boy first but now I have no idea what I want. The girl stuff so cute! Obviously it doesn't matter we both would absolutely love a boy or a girl.

We went shopping for cribs on Saturday. It did not go well. I wanted one crib while Jason wanted another. Mine is a little more expensive. Oh well I guess we will have to keep looking. On another note the one chair I would really love (a recliner rocker) for the baby room is $700. I realize that is a bit excessive and have to get over that idea :(

Everything seems to be going well. I do this half hiccup type thing about 20 times a day and everytime I do my husband thinks I'm gasping at something bad. It so obnixious. I can't wait to stop that. Jason thinks its some type of indigestion. I have no idea what it is. I also burp so much and so loud. Its so embarrasing but I can't help it. I also pee so much. I can't believe how many times a day I pee. I wake up at least 3-4 times per night to pee. That is really the worst of it for me. I am so fortunate since I know Loralyn is having so many problems with gagging and not being able to eat much. Hopefully all my pregnancies are like this. Oh yeah and my Bells Palsey went away!! All on its own I did not have to take steoids to get rid of it.

Anniversary and Halloween Party

So today is our 1 year anniversary! Can't believe its been a year. We actually celebrated yesterday by going to the restaurant where we got married for dinner. We also got our 1 year anniversary cake from the baker who made our wedding cake. We got the yummy pistachio flavor. Below is a picture of what it looked like before Sophie ran across the table and put one paw right in the center of the cake.


Saturday was Ryan and Loralyn's Halloween party. We had a great time and actually dressed up this year.

Halloween

Last night for Halloween Jason and I set up chairs in our driveway and put Sophie on her leash and passed out candy. It was so much fun. All the little kids loved Sophie and wanted to pet her and she did really well and just let them run up to her. I was nervous that she would not like the baby when it comes but she seems to enjoy kids! By the way we some some girls who couldn't be more than 12 years old were in some of the shortest costumes ever. One of the girls dropped something at the end of our driveway and she bent over to pick it up and I saw her butt. Oh yeah another girl had on a black bra and a see through shirt. I can't believe parents let kids dress like that. I have to think the parents know because I've seen some of those costumes on different websites and they are very expensive so someone had to buy it for them. We were pretty shocked. Tonight we are very excited to be going to Ryan and Loralyn's annual Halloween party. Jason and I are dressing up as Juno and her boyfriend Pauly Bleeker. I will have to take pictures and post them.

I still have Bells Palsy. My left eye is driving me crazy today it keeps twitching away today. Other than the eye and the whole tongue problem I am handling it fine although I do complain a lot. Well I gotta go figure out how to make my belly really big for my costume tonight!

Pregnant

It is official! I'm 13 weeks pregnant! Jason and I heard the heartbeat last week which made it seem even more real than the 8 week u/s. Things have been going so well. I am finally getting a little less tired (and by that I mean I do not need to rush home on my lunch break and take a nap, but still go to bed by 8:30) and feeling a lot better in general. The only problem so far is that yesterday I found out that I have Bells Palsy again. Its a very mild case this time but I do not want to get treatment while pregnant. We will see how long I last. The most annoying part is half of my tongue is numb and I can't taste anything on that side. I just pray that God helps me through it without treatment and soon!

Probably the most exciting thing about my pregnancy is that my best friend (since preschool) Loralyn, is pregnant and due exactly two weeks after me! My friend April (we have been friends since elementary school) is also pregnant and due two weeks before me. Its exciting to have people that I can actually complain to and they know what I'm going through (because sometimes Jason just doesn't understand)! I just can't wait until we all know what we are having and can start shopping together!
