So many things so LITTE time!

Well for starters I know it's been a while! There has been so much going on lately that I just haven't gotten on here! Thank you cards for the baby shower are done just have to actually get them out! The shower turned out to be AMAZING thank you to everyone who helped and came! I have now gone from '' moderate bed rest'' to full bed rest! BOO! Emma just can't wait to get out here, my cervix is already thinning out and had to have steroid shots to help speed up her lung development just incase she decided to show up early! Chris and I got maternity pictures done by {AToY Photography} Can't wait to see those, she is the best!  I am now 32 weeks and 4 days as of today and 7 weeks and 3 days left ( that is if she doesn't decide to come early)



29 Weeks 4 Days
 30 weeks 4 Days


31 weeks 3 Days

32 weeks 3 days


This is just a FEW things from the shower!!!

Bedtime!

Last Friday was my monthly appointment and everything is going great! Her heart rate was about 140bmp and she measured out perfectly! We go back in 3 weeks (June 10) and then every 2 weeks after that! She really will be here before we know it! And the Baby Shower is just 2 days later! (June 12)

I am now 27 weeks and 2 days, 13 weeks to go!

This past weekend was Nina's birthday party and Chris and I had tons of fun (even after the party!)
.......Thanks Mandy for the onesie, teether, and car accessories!

Yesterday (5/23/11) I had to go for a glucose test (that had to be done before 28 weeks and I'm now 27!) and chug this nasty "fruit punch" drink and get blood work, I hated it!!! Then later on, when Chris got off work, Chris and I went to Target to pick up Emmas' crib and mattress and had it put together later that night! He wasn't to happy about it because I made him do it while the Mavs game was on, but I was happy and that's all that matters.... RIGHT?!!!?  For dinner last night we all went to Olive Garden (YUMM!) for my moms birthday dinner.

Today (5/24/11) happy birthday to my mommy! We just went and got her a Red Velvet Cupcake from The Sweet Spot Bakery, they are amazing!!!


We found these balloons for the Shower!

 The Mavs Game was on!

 He wanted to "test" it out, but I had to stop him (Big Surprise)

All we need left is the Bedding!!!

Not to much!

Well there's not to much going on. Emma is now 25 weeks and 6 days.. so that means 15 weeks and 1 day until my due date, unless she decides to visit us early!! She has had the hiccups and is kicking and moving like crazy! She's actually doing it right now as I type!!!! She's aware in the mornings when Chris has to leave for work and his alarm goes off... she thinks it's time for us ALL to be up once she hears it! This morning she moved like CRAZY when his alarm went off at 5 AM for Chris to go to drills.  This is his last set of drills and is turning everything in (well mostly everything... he gets to keep some stuff like uniforms... which means I can still see a ton of camo in my room...)! But he plans to take a year or two off and then go back fully active. He has planned on doing this for a month or two now... he's ready for a vacation and to see Emma. He hasn't had a vacation in a LONG time and is more than ready for one... (before he eventually gets deployed later on) and I must say I am to!

It's a GIRL!!!!

She has long legs and big feet. She's not even here yet and stole her daddy's heart from me. 19 more weeks to go of this long legged beauty to arrive out of the oven! To top it off, she's not done growing! Her feet are already over 1 1/2 inches long and 14 CM tall!!!!!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

What a busy past few days and more to come!!

Thursday we got the shirts in for the MS walk on April 2! Friday, got to Andrea's at 6 AM for the Golf Tournament (which turned out AMAZING!!), and didn't get in bed until 10 PM that night getting things ready for the weekend, we also had a  doctor appointment for the baby on Friday  hoping that we would find out if it's a Boy or Girl but the Sonogram nurse wasn't there! So we have to wait until April 7 at 3 PM to find out! Saturday we left bright and early for Bridgeport to go wheeling....and we ended up camping out there. Boy was it cold or what Saturday night/ Sunday so we decided to head home instead of wheeling again on Sunday.... I of course wasn't allowed in the Jeep but I sure was wishing I was!!!!


We have sucessfully Pre-Registered with Harris Hospital for the delivery, and as well as Cord Blood Registry (CBR)! You can also help donate to our registry at http://www.cbrgiftregistry.com/


I feel like I'm missing something???

So Eventful!!

Yesterday was an extremely eventful day! I started out making mini apple pies for a jeep thing we have on Saturday, well the smoke alarm started going off so as I'm going to open a door and turn the vent on..... Kassie's dog Bo LITERALLY knockes me out from under my feet and I fall forward landing on my right leg and arm!!! My ankle is bruised, knee is skinned up and swollen, and my wrist is twisted a bit... other than that I am fine! Well later that night I'm walking down stairs and I roll my ankle AGAIN! The same one! So now my ankle just hurts a little worse!  Baby is fine!

Chris and I got pre-registered with Harris for delivery, and signed up for free goodies with Similac and Enfamil

Baby doctor appointment tomorrow and the Golf Tournament!

This past weekend Chris and I went to Nanny's so he could work on her garden, and Nanny got to feel the baby move around a little bit. We also moved EVERYTHING around in our room just to get a little more organized. Friday I have a doctor appointment and hopefully we will find out if it's a Boy or Girl!!!


‎4 Days until the Golf Tournament, 12 Days until the MS walk, 28 days until the Ranger Game, 22 weeks until my baby is here... BOY or GIRL? :) Did I miss anything?

Just a short update

I know I've posted something today but I just had to add this!!!

ok so I could feel the baby just now and I let my sister feel and she made a disgusting look and freaked out! She didn't like the feel of her niece or nephew!!! I must say it does feel a little wierd though!

The baby may be costing us $500 a month but that was just PRICELESS!!!!!

I will never forget the look on her face, I sure do wish I got a picture or video, something!!!

Made my day!!!

It's alive!!

So the past couple of days I have actually gotten to feel the baby move around and stretch and I must say it's a wonderful experience but it doesn't always feel that great!

Chris had drills this past weekend so I spent the night with Nanny which is always great!

The baby is now 16 weeks and 4 days we are hopping to find out what it is March 25 if not then in April. We are both very excited and eager to find out!!


16 Weeks



My parents bought this for the baby!!

A Surprising Start of Something New

Just to start things off here's a little background info about Chris and I...

From the start Chris has always been able to make me laugh no matter what the situation he always has something to say or some goofy looking look on his face and he always brings me up from being down. He always has the best advice, seeing how I can't ever take my own, and knows exactly what to do. We both knew from the start that this was it, I mean who falls asleep on their first date? He always takes care of me and makes sure that I have everything I need before he does anything for himself. He walks behind me picking up my messes, even though I am very capable of doing it myself. Yes, you could say he spoils me but I don't really see it that way. I see it as the fact that he cares about me and wants to make me happy. But little does he know he doesn't have to do a single thing and the fact that he is just here with me makes me the happiest person in the world....  He does love to irritate me and push my buttons, but that is one of the things I love most about him. I've never been truly mad at him and how could you? Have you seen the way he acts? HaHa!



I don't really know how he was before he joined the Army, besides things that he tells me. But I am more than happy that I know him now and not a day less. He reminds me a lot of people that I love (i.e. my daddy- they are both smarty pants and have something funny to say about everything, and Larry- clean and very anal about they way they like things done and organization... but then again that part could be the Army speaking there....)

We both have had an amazing journey, doing a lot of first together!

I always new I wanted to get married and have kids, but I never knew it would have happened so soon at the rightful age of 19.... But in mine and Christopher Lee's case.... we did things well.... backwards... Haha!

Ok! OK! Enough about mine and Christopher Lee's love story and lets get to what this is all really about...

A Surprising Start of Something New... and let me tell you it was a surprise but a great one and I couldn't ask for it any other way!

On Monday, December 20,2010,  I had a doctor appointment for the usual swore throat, bad cough and what not... and they usually do a pregnancy test. So just to be sure Chris and I bought a home pregnancy test just to be sure before I went to the doctor the day before. Well I took it the morning of my doctor appointment and didn't think anything of it, so I hopped in the shower! Well afterwards I checked it and low and behold... it was POSITIVE.... So I called Chris immediately and told him. He was more excited about it than I was. It's not that I wasn't happy about it or anything but I couldn't really believe it until I could see it...
Later that night my Family had "Package opening at Nanny's" for Christmas, at that time my sister and Chris were the only ones who knew.... I wanted to to tell them all then and there for a nice Christmas surprise but I was still nervous to tell the rest of my family. So it was then until a few days later we told our family and I have never been happier to have such a wonderful family that loves you no matter what and is always there for whoever needs anything and loves to help eachother out.

From there I made an appointment with my OB/GYN and had our first sonogram 
December 30, 2010
 6 weeks and 4 days

Due date : August 21,2011
<3

At the begining I didn't have a lot of sickness untill I was about 11 weeks I started some vomiting and then it went away. At the start of 12 weeks it came back but non stop so on Valentines day I was then 13 weeks and my doctor wanted me to go to the ER for the constant vomiting and the severe pain in my lower right abdomen.. thinking it was my appenix! Luckily it was just a cyst on my uterus because my plecenta wasn't strong enough to grow the baby just yet but in time it'll go away :) Mommy and Baby are just fine! My first trimester was not fun so hopefully it'll all get better in my second, seeing how I'm starting to show and can't fit into anything while consitantly craving Mexican food, crunchy things like Chili's chips and salsa, and fresh fruit tons of it...and not the stuff that comes in a can or jar, I want the freshly cut Pineapple, Grapes, Strawberries, Oranges, and what not!
13 weeks 5 days

I am now 15 weeks and 3 days I've gotten a little bigger but not much! I am more than fatigued and it'll only get worse? Oy Vey....
