Dad finally felt me move!

The other night Mom went to bed, but I wasn't quite ready yet. I'm a little cramped in this small space, but I've figured out a way to do summersaults. So I was doing them over and over and over and over. Then suddenly the space was gone!! So I took my elbow and pushed really hard on the hard spot. And it pushed back! So I pushed back. Then I heard this noise, "Did you feel it?" Yup, that was mom's voice. Then I heard, "I do feel it!" That was dad's voice. Then the hard spot was gone and I was able to do my summersaults again.

I also think it's funny that my sister likes to lay right on top of me too. She'll lay right across me, which makes it really dark in here. She's not very nice, either. She kicks and pushes. Just wait until I'm out of here, I can't wait to kick and push back on her!

At my mom's last check up, she had lost weight. But the doctor seems to think that is okay. And I'm measuring two centimeters smaller than I should, but the doctor doesn't seem concerned with this either.

July 29th is fastly approaching!!!! I can't wait to get out of here and stretch out my legs!

Seven Months

I'm seven months in... A few more to go and I'll be making my big entrance into the world. Since my big sister decided she wasn't ready to come into the world, she forced my mom to have a C-Section. The doctor group won't let my mom attempt a VBAC (vaginal birth after C-Section) so she has to have another one with me. They gave her four possible dates to choose from - July 23, 24, 29 or 31st. My parents talked it over and the 29th is the best day to give my dad the most days off work to spend with my mom, sister and of course ME! So they are going to try and get that all set up.

So it looks like I will be born on July 29th! (Unless I play the rebel role and decide to come earlier!)

I also decided to give my mom a break from all that throwing up. So I stopped pushing that button that says in big bold letters, "DO NOT PUSH." And she's not gotten sick in almost two weeks! She's much happier now. And even though I've got that big ol' placenta thing in front of me, I'm getting bigger now so she's finally starting to feel me. Dad hasn't been able to feel me yet, but the doctors said that's normal since that ugly placenta thing is in front.

I'm a BOY!!!

It's official! Obviously I've known all along I was a boy, but no one else knew until today my gender. My size is perfect and I'm right on target for an August 1 due date! Here are some of my sonogram photos from today!!!

Here's a nice profile shot. My forehead is on the left, then you can trace down to the right over my nose and jawline. Mom thinks I look similar to my big sister Daphne's sonogram profile shot.

Here's the money shot ladies! First and last time I'll ever post a photo of my "junk." But I'm proving I'm a boy!
I might get called a "ninny" for this photo, but I was laying there with my legs crossed very content! You can clearly see both of my legs here!
And I'm at a complete loss what this photo is... Anyone with sonogram experience know???
Hope you enjoyed my photos!

One Week until the Sonogram!

Exactly one week from today is my schedule sonogram so that Ian and I will know if we will be having a baby brother or sister for Daphne! I'm starting to get quite excited and even dreaming about the sonogram! Even though I thought I've been showing for some time, people are just now starting to see my baby bulge. I'm still sick, but at least it's not daily anymore. I might get sick only once or twice a week. And for some odd reason, I am only sick on days I get up before 6 or 7am. Too bad a job and a 13 month old running around prevent me from sleeping later than that!

One more week to find out!!! What is your guess????? BOY or GIRL?

Kicking!!

Hello everyone! This is Shelley posting today. I'm officially 14 weeks along, but advance each Friday. So in three days I'll be at 15 weeks. For about two weeks now I've been feeling the new little baby kick, kick, kick away!! It's been so wonderful to know all this morning sickness is helping him/her grow strong!

One night the kicking was so strong I just KNEW Ian would be able to feel it. I put his hand right on top of the kicking, but he couldn't feel anything yet. Hopefully soon.

I've also heard the heartbeat at my last appointment and the doctor said everything sounded perfect! My sonogram is scheduled for March, and I can't wait to find out if Daphne will have a sister or brother!!!!

By the way, just like we did with Daphne, we'll gladly share the sex of the baby, but the name will be a secret again. And yes, we've already got a few in mind, but so far not agreeing on anything!

I have a heartbeat!!

Hello!! New baby here! I'm 13 weeks in uterus now and I officially have a heartbeat. Mother was at the doctor office the other day and got to hear it. I must admit, it filled her heart with glee to hear my little heart. There is nothing quite like the swish, swish, swish sound of a heart through that little machine.

And scheduled for March is the big ultrasound. They all hope to find out if I am a boy or a girl, but I might be feeling ornery that day and keep my legs closed! Wouldn't that be funny!

Another baby on the way!

From this point forward, this blog will now be documenting Daphne's little brother or sister. Until they are born, I'll be typing posts from my perspective. Occasionaly Daphne may grace us with her typing as well, but mostly it will be me. She'll let you know if it's her typing.

Once the baby's sex is known (around 20 weeks gestation) they might also start typing as well.

Right now I think I'm around 9 weeks along! And sick as a dog.....so keep me in your prayers!
