12 weeks, 2 days

Again, I'm very thankful to have gotten this far in my pregnancy.
I feel pretty good. Besides wishing I could detach my bbs and hang them up whenever they get too heavy or hurt too much, my symptoms have become pretty mild. I just had an appt with my midwife the other day..and here's a funny story:

She came and did a vaginal culture to see what's going on, and if I have a yeast infection. After she finished, we walked back to the livingroom, and she asked if I had any ice so she can put some in the biohazard bags to keep the cultures cold until she got to the lab. I didn't have any, so her and I were rummaging through the freezer looking for something we can use. I was hoping to find an icepack..but nothing. Finally, I asked her if she could use this, and held up an individually packaged garden burger. We both were hysterically laughing, and she put it in there. I hope she dropped it off that way. They probably gave her the funniest looks.

She did a heartbeat check to see if we could finally hear. There was lots of movement and we would get like 5 seconds of a heartbeat before the baby would move away from the doppler. My uterus felt like a 12 week uterus, and all seems well. I'm just really really nervous to get my culture, and my bloodwork and urine back. Idk why. I just don't want to find any surprises. I'm hoping everything is good and I'm healthy.

The day you deliver, outside will be hazy. Your baby will arrive in the early afternoon.

After a labor lasting approximately 8 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 6 pounds, 9 ounces, and will be 21 -1/2 inches long. This child will have dark amber eyes and some blonde hair.


This is about the 50th boy prediction I've gotten.

I wish I could get Andrew to like the name 'Milo.' I'm not sure why, but it's literally the only name that sounds right to me. Although, I do still like Weston.

10 weeks

tomorrow I am 10 weeks. I'm so blessed to have made it this far. It is also my first official midwife appointment. She will be at our house at noon. I'm excited but also nervous about hearing the heartbeat for the first time.

I have had some bad acid stomach and heartburn the last couple of nights. its been making me feel really yucky, and i couldn't sleep much last night. I'm hoping tonight will be better.

Today was mothers day. I had a great day. Andrew was so amazing and sweet. He helped with Hay and helped clean up and serve the mothers. I also got a new car today.

8 weeks, 5 days

everything is going well right now.

We worked on names.
we've come down to three for a boy:

Kamden, Nolan, or Ashton

and then of course we always have our one girls name that we probably will never get to use.

we took Caelins old crib that we were using for Haydens toddler bed to target today for a refund. We got $150 on a gift card back. it was nice. We are going to get Hay another toddler bed for his bday eventually, but for now because of his broken door, he's in the pack n play. We bought him two pairs of shoes, we all got stainless steel water bottles, and some food
