1st Gender Dream!!!!!

Okay so I have to talk about what happened last night while I was dreaming! :) I have dreamt about our baby before and when it would come time to see our little ones face I would ALWAYS wake up!!! So frustrating... And up until this point I have not had a dream about the babys gender at all, which is surprising to me.

Anyways, so last night during my dream we were having a 3d ultrasound done, I was about 30 weeks or so, but on the ultrasound it was like a live view of the baby... if that makes sense. I have that image burned into my head! The first thing that I noticed was our babys lips, they were exactly like Barts, the baby had my eyes but Barts beautiful blue color, big chunky cheeks... i just remember thinking geez our baby looks just like a gerber baby.... Then I woke up, had to pee (figures), I was so sad to wake up because I knew I was not going to start dreaming of our little one again. BUUUUTTT I was wrong ;)

So after the usual middle of the night run to the bathroom I layed back down and immediately fell back asleep, which is not always the case. My dream almost picked up right where it left off, but this time I was having an ultrasound for the gender and I was only 20 weeks along at this point. We are in the room and they are getting everything set up, and they put the monitor right in front of my face. So I tell the lady that I am gong to record the ultrasound with my phone that way I have a video and then an audio for the first time we hear babies heart beat (that part is a little random but I think it was in my dream because our next appointment is where we get to hear the heart beating). Anyways so she starts the ultrasound and asks if we wanted to know that sex and I told her that I would like the picture put in an envelope and set aside because we are going to be doing something for our gender reveal... So she puts it in there and before I know it we are at our photographers studio getting things set up for the gender reveal... Bart pulls out a cupcake and bites into it and the inside is blue.... We are having a boy!!!!! I was so happy but then I started to cry because that is not what our gender reveal was supposed to be... I was so devastated and extremely happy at the same time. lol... Then I woke up and just layed in bed and smiled. Called Bart into the room and told him my dreams, he started laughing at me when I told him how sad/mad I was that he bite into that stupid cupcake. :) 

Both Bart and I think we are having a little girl, and so does pretty much everyone else, but maybe there is a little boy in there.... Only time will tell... ;)

TWO more days until we have our next appointment! I cant wait!!! I am so excited and nervous!!! I am sure everything is fine, but I still am freaking out... Thank god it is at 8:50 in the morning and we dont have to wait all day... We will also be making the appointment for our gender reveal that day too!! Very exciting!!!


I figured to celebrate the awesome two dreams that I had and the fact that our appointment is so soon... I went shopping for the little one :)

Can never go wrong with a pair of Sperrys :) <3 them...

Hopefully I will have a good recording of our baby's heart on Monday, some ultrasound pictures and a date for the gender reveal! <3

Weekly Tummy Pic

So I am 12 weeks today! :) One more week and I will be into my second trimester!

So here is my 11w6d belly picture! I dont relly think there is much difference from last week and this week.  There is definitely a lil baby bump :)

So today we booked our birthography!!! I am so excited to have Kenzi as our photographer. And a HUGE thank you to my wonderful dad for getting that for us and your little baby! We also have paid for our gender reveal photo shoot too!!! ;) I cant wait to make the appointment so I can start a count down for that! I think it is going to be amazing to capture our emotion and expression on film!!! I cant wait.. In the meantime I can work on getting the stuff decorated for the gender reveal! ;)

The count down is on for our next appointment... 5 more days!! We will get to hear our baby's heartbeat and see our little one for the first time. I feel like everything is okay with our little baby but it is really hard for me to not worry all the time bout it. :( I am sure once we past our first trimester I will be able to relax a little bit more!

Hopefully my next post it will have a recording of our baby's heartbeat and some more ultrasound pictures (maybe)! <3

Weekly Tummy Pic...

Well its time for another weekly tummy pic. I am 10 weeks and 6 days along today! Crazy how fast times flies by, it feels like just yesterday I took the test and found out that we were pregnant...

So this picture is a side by side from 9w6d (left) and 10w6d. Can someone explain to me how this happened over a course of a week??? I am huge! Seems like just over night I got a pooch! The past couple days when I sit down I have to unbutton my pants because it is so uncomfortable. Thankfully they can still be buttoned when I am standing up if they are low enough. But everything is definitely getting a little tighter and a little more uncomfortable, but I wouldn't have it any other way! ;) Well 13 days and counting until we get to see our baby and hear its little heart beating. I will definitely be recording that with my phone, and hopefully I will be able to put the recording up on here for everyone to listen to!

Little side note... 

Bart and I went to dinner and a movie for our anniversary. :) It was a perfect night, but when we were at dinner I could barley eat anything! I think I had maybe two bites of chicken and some vegetables... My stomach had been upset all day and when I ate it made it even worse.. but when the molten chocolate cake and ice cream came out I had no problem eating half (more like 3/4) of it... and of course that didn't upset my stomach at all. lol :) Aaaahhhh the wonders of pregnancy <3

1st OB appt

June 5, 2012...

Well I thought this day would never come! I was so excited and anxious to meet our doctor, get my physical, and hopefully get to see our little one for the first time. The night before, of course, I was restless, anxious, excited and nervous which made it absolutely impossible to sleep. Our appointment was at 10am, I got there a little early to fill out paper work, and Bart was coming from work to meet me there. As we are sitting there waiting to get called back I could tell that Bart was either really nervous or excited. So I asked him "are you okay?" He says, "I am so nervous Kim, I have already had to go to the bathroom like five times."  :) That made me so happy to see that he was experiencing the same feelings as I was. Our nurse finally calls us back and we go into our room, from there I have a physical and all that good stuff. Once all of that was over our doctor comes into the room to say that she likes to do a trans-vaginal ultra sound to make sure everything looks good and to make sure the baby is measuring to our expected due date. When she said that, Bart and I got the biggest smiles on our faces, we were so happy that we were going to see our baby!


So our doctor starts the ultra sound and she is having to move it around a lot to try and find the baby, my heart was not beating at this time I was thinking that maybe something was wrong, and then before we knew it we saw our little one on the screen! Our doctors says "he/she is really tucked away in there." We were all smiles at that point and I was already in tears.  Seeing our baby for the first time was absolutely amazing! Our doctor zoomed in and we saw our baby's heart beating, Bart almost started crying. He said "oh my god, that is amazing!" I could tell by his tone and how his voice was cracking that it was taking everything out of him to hold back the tears. His hand held mine a little harder and we just watched our baby for a few minutes. At that moment there was nothing else going on in our life, just tears and pure love! I will remember that moment for the rest of my life. After the ultra sound was over the doctor says that everything looks amazing and that the heart was probably beating around 170 bmp!!! Incredible!! 

In this picture you can see our baby's eye, leg bud and tail! :)
the circle that is above our baby is the yolk sac! 

Our next appointment is July 2nd at 9am! We will get to listen to the heart beat at this appointment and hopefully get another ultra sound! We have another appointment set for July 5th at 2pm for some genetic testing. Which will consist of blood work from me and an ultra sound of the baby to see the fat store on the back of the neck to determine the likelihood of our baby having down syndrome. Until then I will just be posting my weekly tummy pictures!

Tummy Pics!

Tummy pics starting from the top : 3w6d / 4w6d / 5w6d / 6w6d

I usually do my pics every Tuesday whenever I am on the 6th day of each week... all up to date on tummy pics now! ;)

Though I would share this pic.. I think this one is interesting... so the top pic is me at 3w6d middle is 5w6d and the bottom is 9w6d.... weird to see how I am slowly getting bigger!!! That is something that I guess I will just have to get used to because I will not be getting any smaller anytime soon! ;)

Let's Get Started!!!!

Monday April 30,2012... Changed my life forever, the day we found out that we were pregnant!!

I woke up that morning around 630 got ready, stopped at Starbucks and headed to school for my 8am class just like any other Monday. About half way through class is when I started feeling a little off... I was thinking that it was probably the Starbucks and the Dt. Dr. Pepper messing with me and my empty stomach, so I tried eating some food hoping that would calm my body down and make the terrible headache that I had go away. When class was over a few people and I went to he library to study for our exam that was coming up on Wednesday, but by that time my head was pounding my whole entire body was aching and I could not stop shaking. Something was definitely off... So I decided to leave the study group and head home to lay down. When I got home idk what it was, but something told me to take a test. At this point I was four days away from my next period starting, but when I was waiting for the test to show the results I already knew that I was pregnant. Sure enough before I knew it there was a big YES on the test., I couldn't help but smile.

Tell me that isn't one of the faintest lines u have ever seen!!!! I guess that's what you get when you are testing four days before your missed period :)


Telling Bart...

Bart was still at work when I took the test and he wouldn't be coming home for at least another couple hours. Those two hours seemed like the longest two hours of my life! I sent him a text saying that I have something to tell him when he gets home... wanting to make sure he comes right home and doesn't try to go golfing like usual :) I knew by telling him that he would be texting me asking me what its about but I knew that I did not want to tell him over a text message. Right at 5 I get a phone call from him asking me over and over about what I wanted to tell him... I think at that point he already knew but I kept on telling him we will talk when he gets home. So he finally makes it home and he is like what is it... and I show him the test and he just kinda stands there with a blank stare on his face... All I am thinking is that's it??? I just told you that we are going to have a baby and u just sit there and stare at the test... made me almost start crying... SOOOO typical Bart finally says, "well looks like we have to find a bigger place." He goes and gets the iPad and sits on the bathroom floor with me and we started looking at new places to live... Then he finally leans over gives me a kiss and then gives my tummy a BIG smooch, and at that point I started crying.

HCG Levels...

The next day I went and had my blood drawn to see where my HCG levels were. I got the results a couple hours later... The lady said that my levels are not within a certain range to say it is a "true positive" result... WHAT!??! My heart sank! I of course immediately went and did research on what that meant... all I saw were things like "miscarriage, chemical pregnancy, etc." I was scheduled to go back in on that next Monday to have my blood drawn again to make sure my levels were increasing and were finally in the "true positive" range. I was totally freaking out so I called the lady back for some reassurance and she went on to tell me that they shouldn't have even drawn my blood because I still had not missed a period yet. That literally was the longest six days of my life! So on Monday I go in to have my blood drawn... Thank god I had a couple of my girl friends with me to keep me calm. The night before I could not sleep at all, I was sick to my stomach and I could not stop shaking. So at 3pm I could call for my results, I called at 2:59 and the lady said "you are definitely pregnant!" Instant relief and joy!

Sorry for such a long post... But a lot has happened in the past 10 weeks! The next post will be just pictures or my tummy week by week and then there will be our first OB appointment and I will finally be caught up with our pregnancy! I cant wait to look back on this after our little one is here and see what our journey has been! This will be great for the baby book! One last thing... thanks Mel for getting me into blogging now we just have to get Bre on here! ;)
