baby fever :)

Well lately I am like obsessed with knowing what I am having. It's driving me nuts lol. I guess it's more the fact of not knowing when I will get to find out. I go to the dr in two days and hopefully they will order me an ultrasound for the end of march. if not i'll prob end up paying for one lol. I found the cutest bedding for a boy. It's teddy bears and really could be used for either sex but since I am obsessed with pink I may have to go more girly but idk.

Matts mom told us she will buy the crib for us which is awesome. I found one for 299 at target and its a 4 in 1 and I love it. It kinda scares me looking to buy stuff when I still have so long to go but i guess it doesn't hurt to look! lol.

I have gained like 5-6 lbs now and I don't like it bc I just feel fat. I don't really fit into anything and i'm still too small for my maternity clothes so i just wear sweats alot which is fine but i feel so ugly. its driving me nuts.

We move at the end of the month.. oh jeez. I only have 2 weeks of work left and then it is clean time. I can't wait to get everything organized for the move so i can feel less stressed. The movers should come the 26th and we leave the 31st. We already got the housing on post we wanted. we only had two options since we only get a 2 bdr and they only had 2 options. We really need a 3 bdr bc of all our workout equipment but we will have to make do. although its stressing me too lol.

Having the doppler is just about the greatest thing ever. I check the heartbeat almost everyday and I can hear the baby move and it's just so awesome and calms my nerves. I am still nervous daily but I have faith :) I am kinda wanting a boy now but I will be oh so happy with a girl too! Okay enough rambling!

Pregnancy isn't so fun right now

So I am so thankful to be pregnant, don't get me wrong but so far this pregnancy has sucked. The ultrasounds and hearing the heartbeat are simply amazing but that is about the only thing that has kept my spirits up. I thankfully didn't have morning sickness too bad. i got very nauseous a lot but never threw up but I just don't feel good or comfortable at all. I have a cold again, no voice, and just feel awful. I am taking benadryl but it doesn't do anything really so I have just been resting. But my husband feels like all I do is lay in bed and not want him around. I am so moody and depressed and just BLAH it's ridiculous. I don't know if it's my hormones or being sick or the stress of moving or what but it sucks. I just want to enjoy it but it's so not enjoyable right now. But anyway, I am almost out of the first trimester so maybe I will get some energy back. :)

I am supposed to get the doppler I rented in the mail tomorrow so that will be exciting! I have tomorrow off work so I am going to do some much needed cleaning. We thought we would finally have a long weekend together but the one day we both have off he ends up with CQ all day and night. Ugh sucks. lol. But at least it'll give me a chance to clean.

Anyway, hopefully I can snap out of this funk soon bc it's depressing.

woot woot. good day.

We had our ultrasound this morning and everything looked good. It was so cool to see how much our baby has progressed! The heartbeat was 150 and going strong. According to my due date(aug 21) I am 12 wks and 3 days but the baby was measuring 13 wks and 2 days which would be Aug 15th. I'm not sure if they will change the due date or not bc I am not going to see the dr until March 2nd but either way I know my baby is doing good. And I am almost out of the first trimester and my baby is measuring just days away from it woot! The cyst they found last time was gone so that was a blessing!

I also just rented a doppler for a month. I wanna try one out before I buy one so I should get it within 2-5 business days. i am excited to be able to hear the heartbeat whenever I want. So anyway, today went well and I am so thankful for the little blessing God has given us. I can't wait to be further along! :D

Blah blah blah. stress.

So we found out the other day we are no longer moving to Ft Belvoir but to a little bitty base called Ft Myer. It is right beside Arlington National Cemetery and down the street from the Pentagon. Great location sure, but they don't even have housing on post. I was already stressed about it but now knowing they don't have housing it stresses me out even more. They supposed have some rentals for military that waive sec deposits and all that but since his orders changed he doesn't even have new ones yet so we can't even start the housing process. I mean yes, we have 2 months to figure it all out but I like to have things done in advance and well the military won't let you work that way lol. UGH.

Also I have been stressing way to much about something going wrong with the baby. I guess it's bc I am not showing like at all, don't feel the baby bc it's too early and am not feeling terrible anymore so I don't really feel pregnant but then again I have said this a lot lol. The spotting really scared bc there shouldn't be a reason for it and the dr didn't do anything to find a reason but I guess since the heartbeat was found that everything should be fine. I have an ultrasound on Monday and am just praying for good results :D I guess all the horror stories of miscarriages out there make me so nervous.

anyway just a small update, i have like the worst headache ever. blah.

Sickness & Spotting

So last week was rough. I went to work on Monday but then I got sick with an awful cold on Monday night and ended up being out the rest of the week. I was all set to go back on Thursday and then I ended up with the stomach bug and that sucked. But this week my cold isn't quite as strong so I have been able to go to work :)

Monday I woke up and had some spotting. It wasn't bad but I had been cramping terribly since Saturday so it really worried me. I called the dr and they said to come in as soon as I could so I woke Matt up to take me. They looked for the heartbeat on the doppler and found it almost immediately! So that made me feel good. The heartbeat was strong at 150. So now I don't have another appt until March 2nd which makes me nervous but I will deal with it. I just pray nothing else goes wrong before then. I have another ultrasound on Monday so I am excited for that and just keeping faith nothing bad will happen! That's really all I can do.

We move at the end of March and I am really getting excited! I am going to go home for a week or so a week or so after we get settled in for Megans wedding and it'll be nice to be home for a little while although it will be strange not having hubs with me but he should be able to drive down for the wedding at least :D
