Baby B

Well I had my first OB visit today. I was amazed that I actually heard and saw it's heartbeat. I loved being able to actually see something. Seeing the little heart "beat" though and it made me warm & fuzzy. I was given good news about it.....the fact that they were able to pick that much up at only 6 weeks dropped my miscarriage risk from 35% to 5%. It actually seems different to me because this baby B was planned. I would love to upload the pics but I can't get the scanner to cooperate...I am severely technologically challenged (maybe if I let Scarlet & Anna try they can get it to work LOL).

Thursday

First:
Good morning to all. I want to start by telling everyone what we did this morning. Yesterday Scarlet shoved Kleenex up her nose. My mother-in-law tried to get it all out but couldn't. Well as busy as we were yesterday evening I had forgotten about it, Scarlet was playing as is nothing was wrong. This morning about 5:15 she woke up screaming, well like a ton of bricks it hit me that I had forgotten. I wake Michael up and we get her out of the bed, grab the tweezers, the bulb sucker, and a flashlight. In the mean time we wake Anna up which is a good thing since she could hold the flashlight. To make a long story short it took three people and 30 minutes to retrieve a piece of Kleenex about an inch long out of her nose. How she managed to shove it that far up there is beyond me.

Second:
I have been following Brandi's blog for a week or so now and I love it. It has some political content that is very true and very real. I have actually posted a link and a quote from her blog on my facebook page. She really does her homework. It is really good if you haven't read it you should just follow the link from my blog.

Third:
The news is in Michael and I are pregnant. Since this one was our first planned pregnancy we already have the names picked out. To tell you the truth I am having mixed feelings of excitement and nervousness (both of my other kids were oopses). We have decided that if this one is a boy I am getting fixed. If it is another girl we'll try one more time but 4 is the limit and I am getting fixed (yes it's my decision to get fixed & I have no problem with it).

Picture Post

I thought this picture was so cute. My poor m-i-l &f-i-l, they are surrounded by girls (oh the hormones). They are of course my 2 (ages 17 mos. & 9 yrs.) and my three nieces (ages 2 1/2, 5, and 7 yrs.)

Still Trying!

Well Michael and I have now been trying for 2 months to get pregnant. We are anxiously waiting to find out but according to my cycle (and the ovulation calendar) it will still be another 16 days.

Hello

Hello, I am back. I have just been very busy so I had to take a break from a few things. I am really excited about all the babies that are due. I have friends that are pregnant, a niece that is due in a few months and my sister and her girl friend just had their baby 2 weeks ago. I will tell you that I again have the baby bug and so does Michael. We have decided that we are officially trying. We would like to have a boy and have agreed that if it is then I will have my tubes tied if not we will talk about 1 more. I will be happy either way because I will have a boy or I will have 4 children (which I originally wanted).

I am very excited for all of my friends and I wish them the best of luck!
