14w2d baby bump

I finally have a bump to show off. I can't wait for it to get bigger and bigger.

We find out the sex July 14 (maybe July 17 if Brice has to go to Dallas for work) and I got this cute idea from 18 Kids And Counting on TLC how to tell our parents what we're having. They had a cake made, and the inside was either pink or blue. So I thought it would be cute to take a cake over to our parents house and let them cut it and be surprised- but I'm not sure I would be able to contain my excitement for 24 hours or longer in order to have a cake made. I'm going to want to text everyone right away and tell them. But Brice thought it was a cute idea, so we'll see. Haven't really decided yet.

Kylee- 1 month old already

I just realized Kylee is one month old already. And I have yet to meet this little lady. I was throwing up again this morning, and have been putting off going to Chad and Kristi's house. I wanted to go see her last weekend, but they went to College Station so that's Kristi's fault:) She promised to hold off on the baby food and lunchables till I can meet this tiny little princess.

It should be illegal to look this cute-

Don't worry baby, I like to sleep during church, too-

12 week appt update

Everything went great yesterday. At first the nurse couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler, and since I told her it had been three days since we had been able to find the heartbeat with our home doppler, she was a little concerned and said Dr. Miller would need to do an ultrasound. So I guess if it wasn't for the baby being difficult I wouldn't have gotten an ultrasound. I am far enough along now to where they can do my ultrasounds right there at her office. So Dr. Miller comes in and ask me if I have been bleeding or cramping? Umm no. I'm sitting there thinking just start the damn ultrasound already. The second she turned the machine on, I didn't even have time to blink, she said "oh, no wonder we couldn't find the heartbeat, the baby is flipping around in there and won't sit still". So she called my dad over to point out the heartbeat, head, body, arms and legs which were flying all over the place. We all laughed because the baby flipped over when she was trying to point out the belly to my dad. I kept looking at his/her little nose. It was clearly visible and so cute! She pointed out where the "goods" will be between the legs, but it was too early to see if it's a boy or girl.
My first question was to ask Dr. Miller if it looked like the baby was growing normally. I take two category C drugs everyday, so this is one reason they are keeping such a close eye on me. She said the growth and head growth looked perfect to her. Brice and I previously declined the first trimester screening for birth defects like down syndrome or even for NF like what I have because those things don't matter to us- we would still have the baby anyways. But it is nice to know my medication isn't having any affects on the babies growth, but this is something I defiantly want to keep an eye on every time we go.
I did get an ultrasound picture yesterday, but her machine isn't very good like the one at the hospital so it's not a very good clear picture. I will scan it and post it later when I finally post my belly picture:)

12 weeks

Today I am 12 weeks pregnant. Whoohoo!! Some doctors say the second trimester begins at 12 weeks, but most say it's the first day of the 13th week. So either way I guess you could say I am in my second trimester which is very exciting. I have a doctor appt this Thursday at 3:30pm for another ultrasound. Brice wasn't able to get off work and I don't mind going by myself, but my dad is really excited since I am getting an ultrasound so he wants to go with me so he can see the baby. My dad is always kissing my belly and putting his ear next to my belly, so seeing how excited he is, I thought it would be nice to let him go with me.

I had a weird dream last night. I dreamed that I had twin boys on December 28 via c-section. I was holding them both and could see every detail of their face. It was a weird dream though because my friend Kristi was in the room next door to mine having her baby Kylee.

Brice and I came up with a girl name last night. I picked the first name and he picked the middle name. So if it's a girl it won't have my middle name, but I think it's important part of your child's name have meaning to the dad or something he picked out. It's kind of funny because everytime we talk about baby names, we always talk about girl names. Even Brice talks about this baby as if it's a girl. We're stumped on boy names so hopefully we won't have to go that route:)

I will post a belly picture later this evening:)

boy oh boy...I really hope it's a girl!

So the other day I bought the famous IntelliGender test. From what I have heard, it's suppose to test for some sort of protein in your urine that boys produce in pregnant women. I really have no idea how it works, but it was invented by two moms in Dallas, and they claim it's 94% accurate. So basically it's testing for a boy. If you're having twins, and it turns orange for girl, that means you are having two girls. But if it turns green for boy, that could mean you are having two boys, or a boy and a girl. Make sense?
So anyways, I took the test and followed the instructions perfectly. As I'm sure you all don't want to see a picture of my pee in a cup, so take my word for it- it says I am having a GIRL. I sure do hope it's right, but I will be just as happy with a boy. I love my little nephew, and can picture myself raising a boy who constantly wears a John Deere hat.
I'm hoping to get my gender ultrasound at 16 weeks since my doctor said she can try to do it that early. So 5 more weeks till we find out if this baby really is a girl.

the crib

I am so excited because we ordered our crib yesterday and it should be here next month. I was originally going to wait because if the baby is a girl I wanted a white crib, but after seeing the white in person I didn't like it so we decided on brown regardless what the sex is. Baby Fief's heartbeat was 184 last night so I'm still thinking girl. I would be just as happy with a boy. It's the wait I don't like. I want to know NOW so I can decorate my dream nursery:)
