Champagne Wishes and Gender Dreams

I dreamt we are having a girl last night. The dream was that we were getting an ultrasound and the dr. said it was a girl...however, the legs were crossed a little and he couldn't be 100% sure, but he was pretty sure.

Time for Guessing!!!

I found this online and thought it would be cute. Get your guesses in before 8/7. Winner gets to buy us diapers!

The Belly Shots

Update

Today was my doctor's appointment. Nothing exciting happened. I got to hear the heartbeat and it's so fast. I have another appointment on August 7th and hopefully will be able to tell if it's a boy or girl.

So...if you want it to be a surprise, don't check the site after the 7th.

Oh yeah

The 2nd week of July I have a week long convention/workshop and then on the 16th (I think) I have another dr. appointment.

Crazy Dreams!!

Every night I have dreams. Like 2-3 dreams and they're crazy. Last night I dreamt that I got a job at the YMCA but forgot to tell them I was pregnant so I refused to lift anything heavy.

Then I had a dream about a boat and it kept going in reverse and sinking and I had to save people.

Other nights the dreams are bad and I have to wake up and make myself think of other things. Like this one dream that I was a hit-woman and I was in a shoot out and was all Matrix like and never got hit.

It's crazy. Now, I normally dream but not every night, and not 2-3 dreams a night.

Specialist Appointment

I had an appointment at West Jeff this morning with a specialist. He said I do have a Bicornuate (spelling??) Uterus or Double Horned uterus. This means that I have a septum down the middle and the baby is on the right side. The bleeding I had at the end of May most probably came from the left side.

I will have to worry about pre-term labor and a possible c-section if the baby is breech due to no room to move around. Instead of having a full uterus to move, it has half. But, it can push the left side aside for movement. The doctor says the baby looks really good, it was moving around a lot and very active.

Appointment Update

So, the bleeding issue may be solved soon. The ultrasound technician found that I have a bifurcated uterus. Basically I have a septum down the middle and they think I was bleeding from the side without the baby. I'm going to see a specialist on Friday so hopefully we'll know more then.

The baby looked fine, it's heartbeat was 164. We could see the heart flicker and when the technician moved the ultrasound wand around we could see the definition of two arms and two legs!!!

Finished Closet

I can't believe it's full already!

Doctor's Appointment

I had a regular appointment today and the doctor gave me the results from the ultrasound from last Monday. He said I have a subchorionic hemorrhage. I have an ultrasound scheduled for 2 weeks from now and I suppose they will be looking for a heartbeat. They tried to find a heartbeat today with a doppler but couldn't. The nurse says she thinks I'm still too early.

For you gender guessers

I've been craving fruit and salad- not veggies really, but salad (lettuce). I cannot get enough fruit. I ate more fruit yesterday than I'd normally have in a month. I had strawberries, kiwi, plum, and a peach. I had to have watermelon the other day and ate 1/4 in one sitting.

Anyone that knows me knows I LOVE chocolate, however, I haven't wanted it at all. Now once I eat it it's great, but I'm not craving it.

I had chicken spaghetti the other night and was so grossed out I couldn't finish it.

So, leave a comment with your guess!

Making room for baby

Patrick has started our walk-in closet.

should I or shouldn't I??

I will.

Thursday I went to the ER because of bleeding. They didn't find anything wrong and I didn't bleed except for once in the morning and it stopped. I got an ultrasound, saw the heartbeat and everything looked normal.

Friday evening around 4pm I started bleeding, this time it was heavy. I bled off an on from 4-11pm. I called the doctor and he said to wait it out. I was a lazy bum all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I didn't bleed on Saturday or Sunday. Monday after I went to my mom's to pick something up I started bleeding again.

I got an appointment for 2pm on Monday (today). The dr. did an exam and immediately called for another ultrasound. The ultrasound looked fine, there was a really strong heartbeat and the baby's growing.

I'm fine, the baby's fine. We didn't tell anyone because we didn't want to deal with all the questions we didn't know the answers to. We still don't know why I'm bleeding. I hope to find out tomorrow.

Since I started the blog to keep everyone updated, I figured this would be an important update.
Trinity

new due date

January 13, 2008

We have a heartbeat!

Here is the first ultrasound picture.

They were checking to make sure the embryo was in the right place and it is!

The Mother's Day reveal

Updates

My OB took me off of my decongestant. Since I always have allergy issues and it's the season...'tis the season. Monday I'm going to have to find out what I can take because I'm soon going to get a sinus infection. JOY!

Tomorrow we tell everyone that we're expecting and soon this site may be hit with people coming to check.

I made 5 weeks today according to me but 6 weeks according to the doctor. The doctor's due date is 1/6/08, the due date according to what I know is 1/12/08. We'll see soon enough which is closest.

I'll update belly pics when it changes.

January 6, 2008

is the estimated due date given by the doctor. I had my first doctor's appointment today. They took blood, said I can't change the litter box (poor Patrick), and scheduled an ultrasound for the next week (Thursday). I got a bunch of reading material.

That's about it. Not too exciting.

4 weeks picture

I suppose some people would be interested in a growing belly. Well this is what it looks like normally.

4 weeks

and 4 weeks pregnant is really 2 weeks...and since you can't find out you're pregnant until 2 weeks after ovulation, 4 weeks is like day 1.

We're having a baby!

After trying since September 2006, Trinity is finally pregnant. Patrick and Trinity decided not to tell family and friends they were trying to get pregnant...we hope they understand.

They found out in May and plan to tell everyone on Mother's Day. The baby is due in January...due date to be determined. Trinity has a doctor's appointment on 5-8.
