I'll Poot to that!

The other night, we went out to http://www.thatsmybabyultrasound.com/ to get a 3d/4d sonogram...Unfortunantly lil beanie wouldn't cooperate with us. We found out that he is in a breech position and it was really hard to get a pic of his face. His hands were covering the sides of his face so we couldnt see anything but his little hand waving at us as if he were saying Hi mommie and daddy....BYE mommie and daddy! lol. After much shaking and turning to the side...he wouldn't budge. So we opted to reschedule the appointment for a later date with hopes that he will cooperate later on.

The sonographer and owner of the that's my baby ultrasound was incredibly animated. She talked and talked and was so extra animated. Well Ms. Lady started laughing and chuckling while she was talking about all of the babies that didnt cooperate earlier that day and then all of a sudden a POOT slipped out. She immediately says excuse me and then continues on talking! I slowly turned my head and looked at Al. I gave him a blank stare (I was thinking, did you hear that fart?) He didnt respond to my blank stare (thank GOD...because if he would have smirked, I would have lost it infront of her) lol...then I continued to look at her with a straight face. Once Al and I got in the parking lot, he said...did she fart? lol I imediately started laughing to tears! We both were laughing to tears! I couldnt even open my car door! IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!!!

I just had to record this memory because it brought me so much joy! lol I know its a natural thing and all but an unexpected POOT is always hilarious...why I dont know. I shared my experience on facebook and had many friends and family cracking up! *HA-HA!

December 23 is the next big ultrasound day. I hope to see my baby boys face! I am so in love with him already. I can't wait to see who's features he has inherited. I'll be sure to post the pics of the ultrasound along with the dvd.

Just one of them days!

I've been doing a lot of reading about the different pregnancy stages and it seems like mine has a schedule of its own sometimes. I mean, I love every bit of being pregnant BUT I read that vomiting should go away around the 2nd trimester...or atleast 5 months! It's getting better, I only get sick now maybe once or twice a week. That's better than everyday...

Today, my issue isn't vomiting, its sleepiness. I can't shake it for some reason. Here I am sitting at my desk and I am nodding off! It's soooooooo funny because I really can not control it. I guess my little beanie baby is growing right now because my energy level is at ZERO. I thought that at this stage of my pregnancy I would have a little more energy than I do now. This past weekend I stayed in the bed/house from Friday afternoon till Sunday afternoon.I never hibernate like that...geeze!

My co-workers get a kick out of me dozing off at my desk! Here's a pic that my co worker took of me while I was sitting at my desk, on the phone with the I.T guy. He was working on my computer and I fell asleep!I was totally knocked out...snoring and all...

Here I am at around 19 weeks!

Boy, you are putting your Mama through it! But I know it will all be worth it! lol

To make a short story LONG!

Since I am starting this blog a little later than I originally planned...I'm gonna try and reminisce on the last 5 months of my life as a first time pregnant woman...BUT, before I start...I want to post a journal entry that I wrote in a previous blog I started back in March, 09. Al and I were really trying hard to get pregnant at the time and I just want to see how far we've come since then...

http://foreverforbes914.wordpress.com/

Wow...I've come a LONG way...It's amazing how God works in your life. He always shows himself strong...even at your lowest moments in life.

This year, I decided to do something special for Al's birthday. He always wanted to go to Vegas, so I surprised him with a Trip. We had a BLAST...and when we came back home we went to work the next day and I was soooooooooo exhausted. As usual, I test my ovulation when I get home from work and I saw two lines...keep in mind that these test strips are internet cheapies that I bought in bulk. I had been seeing two lines for a couple of weeks and I knew that something wasn't right. So out of the blue I decided to take an internet cheapie pregnancy test...and low and behold I saw two lines. I screamed...I called Al into the bathroom and told him to look at the test...and he agreed that it looked like two lines. I immediately went to CVS and picked up about 4 brand name pregnancy tests...lol WHY? I really dont know, I just was in SHOCK!

I screamed soooooooooo loud when I saw this...

August 3, 2009 was indeed one of the best days of my LIFE!!!

It was very exciting and emotional...Al cried and couldn't stop crying everytime he thought about me being pregnant. I think I was just in shock...as I am today...Thank God...He did it ALL.

The next day, we went to Dr. Kreitmann's office to confirm the pregnancy and I saw my little beanie babies sac. It was amazing...

On August 4, 2009, I found out that I was 5 1/2 weeks pregnant!!! Glory to GOD. It was too early to see the heartbeat but it was AMAZING to see our little beanie.

That night, I wanted to get a baseline pic of my belly...just so I can see my pregnancy progression

Eww..., now those stretch marks aint nothing pretty to look at! lol but its all me...flaws in all. This is me at 5 1/2 weeks!

PUKE STORIES!

Before I knew I was pregnant, I had no symptoms that would make me believe that I would be...except for being really tired...which is normal for me lol...but it seems like as soon as I found out I was pregnant, a week later, SICKNESS came upon me! lol...I couldn't keep anything down. I drank so much ginger ale that I would gag everytime I thought about it.

Countless times I've ran to the bathroom just in time to hit the toilet...but I have had moments where I've baptized our bathroom with vomit. One time it took me a whole hour to clean up the mess. Al says I sound like an Alien when I puke. lol and its true.

On our Anniversary night...we decided to go out to eat and while we were on our way to the restuarant, I opened the car door while we were at a light and puked my brains out! lol I got myself together as the light turned green and but that didnt last long...Al had to pull over on the side of the road so that I could really get all of that out of my system. I felt horrible as if I ruined our anniversary...but this was the night of my big scare!

We get to the restuarant and I went to the bathroom and I noticed that I was bleeding...not brown blood but bright red blood. I was so scared...and I was praying to God that he would keep my little beanie. As I started to wipe myself a huge blood clot came out of me. I started to panic. I immediately called my Dr's office and with it being after hours, I had to wait for the on call Dr. to call me back. I sat down at the table with Al and he was so calm. He knew that God answered our prayers and that everything will be alright. He reminded me about those stories that I told him about women having a "period" throughout the whole pregnancy and that I shouldnt get scared...The Dr. finally called me back and assured me that everything would be fine...especially if the bleeding stopped...and it did. It turns out that I was bleeding from all of that straining I was doing while I was slumpt over vomiting. GOD IS AMAZING! He sustained my pregnancy.

Lets see...

*I've puked in the parking garage on the way into the office building at work...lol

*I've puked outside of our house...lol I couldnt make it into the house...

*I've puked at my desk at work...thankfully nobody heard me...we all blast our music in our headphones and the only thing I could do is instant message Al...and he came upstairs to check up on me! lol

I just keep telling myself that it will all be worth it!!!

Now, that we are up to date! I am now, 21 weeks pregnant and I look like this!

Here's a side by side from week 5 to week 21

YAY!!! I'm growing...AND...not only am I growing but on November 20th, 2009 we had our BIG 20 week ultrasound and we found out that our little beanie baby is a BOY!!!!!!

Al and I took off that day! It felt like christmas eve the night before. Al cooked me breakfast that morning! Take a look...

My hubby is so creative! lol, He is gonna be such a good daddy!

Once again...God is Amazing.
