Ultrasound

Yesterday we had our first ultrasound. Our little kidney bean's heart was beating and it had little sprouts starting to grow. It was so sweet, I started to cry when I saw the heartbeat. I needed that. :) Brody was such a doll. He was worried about mommy. Didn't understand what they were doing to me and he started to get scared, so I held his hand. We talked and I told him again about the baby in mommy's tummy and how they were checking to see how the baby was doing. He calmed down and did really well. What a sweet boy. 

Everything looked great but the baby is measuring 7 weeks 3 days. According to the first day of my last period I should be 8 wks 3 days. She said that the ultrasound could be off 3 days go either way and that it's up to the midwife to decide whether or not to change my due date. I won't find out until the next appt. Even if they push it back a week this pumpkin is coming by the end of September... well hopefully. :)

what a kisser!

Brody and I were playing kiss tease today. I was asking for a kiss and he was enjoying teasing me. He would move his face towards me like I was going to get a kiss and then take it away really fast. 

In one instant he melted my heart. He put both his hands on my face and gave me the sweetest kiss. Maybe it's hormones but it totally made me well up with tears. He's never grabbed my face like that, oh boy... someday he is going to melt another girls heart. 

On the mend...

Ok. This time I really am feeling much better. I am not only reading blogs but am also starting to post again. I would sort of skim while I was sick but it took to much energy to fully commit myself to reading or commenting. 

I am starting to get a little fun nausea going on with the pregnancy however. I guess it was bound to happen. I have heartburn already, which makes me nervous. With Brody I had terrible heartburn but it started later which makes me wonder if I am going to really be in for it. Thursday we have our first ultrasound. :) 

I am on the mend and hopefully Brody is as well. Brody has also been sick the last couple weeks. The last few days it got worse, he spiked a fever and we were back to the doctor. He was just there two weeks ago with an ear infection. They gave us a referall for the ENT  (ear nose and throat doctor) so that we can discuss whether or not he will need tubes. So today because things have gotten worse I took him back into the doctor and he had a double ear infection. He truly has been so miserable the last few days. So he is on another antibiotic and we are also giving him motrin. Tonight though he finally felt cooler then he has for a couple of days so I am hoping the meds are kicking the infections butt and he is also on the mend. His appt. with the specialist is on the 17th. They do a consultation and try to determine whether or not he needs to tubes. The doctor we saw today said he thought that Brody would benefit from tubes. He has been having infections since August. I certainly don't take tubes lightly but I also don't think it's healthy to constantly have him on antibiotics, if he isn't on antibiotics well then he is just a sick miserable little boy. I have asked for pray and that is what we continue to seek. Wisdom to know if this is the next step we should be taking and that we do what is best for Brody. 

the cow growled at me.

I am sure you don't believe me but sometime in the last week or so I got growled at. 

I was minding my own business, sitting on the couch when Brody comes out of his 

room growling somewhat ferociously.. 

I look over at him only to see him holding a plastic cow. Oh my little boy genius, cows don't growl... they moo. :)

Driving myself crazy..

Singing... " Line Line Circle Circle Square Square Square Square triangle triange line..."

pretty annoying right??

Anyone know where this song comes from? anyone? anyone????

If you don't then you don't watch enough PBS... if you do... maybe you watch to much PBS.... !! Like Brody and I. This last week we have clearly watched to much TV.  For several days I have been singing this song in my head. I wake up in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT singing it. Who does that? I wake up in the morning it's still there and in the afternoon, guess what? Still there... 

Anyone have a cure?? I can't handle it any longer. 

I'MMMM BACCCKK

I have been sick. This is why I haven't been blogging. However, I still feel crappy but a little more human then I have the last few days. Today my darling husband stayed home from work. Seriously it takes A LOT for him to do this. However, I was up a lot of the night tossing and turning, running  a fever and I think that he was worried about me. So he stayed home today and took care of Brody and I. Isn't that wonderful?? The nice thing is that he can cancel his appointments and make em up at some point during the week or on Saturday if he needs to. It was also nice because he came with me to my first OB appt. today. Which I was so glad, my head felt like it was going to explode and I was really thankful not to have to drive myself. So anway I got to nap, Donny made us lunch and supper, I got to stay home by myself while he went to the gym with Brody and I rested all night. :) It's amazing what rest does for you. Hopefully I will sleep good tonight and feel even a little better tomorrow. 

As far as my appt goes it went well. I requested that they do another pregnancy test. DID YOU KNOW THAT THEY DON'T DO THIS?? I didn't. I felt weird, I just needed one more test to convince me that I really am pregnant and I AM!! I will also be having an ealry ultrasound to confirm the due date. I expressed some  concerns to my midwife and she agreed with me. So she did a blood test to check my HCG levels and if they are over 2000 we will proceed with an ultrasound. I will keep you posted. Other then that there isn't much else to update. I will probably blog some more when I start feeling better. 

First TWO words

Brody and I were upstairs visiting Grandma and Grandpa B earlier in the week. We were walking down the stairs 

and Brody says "Bye Grandpa." It was the cutest to hear him put his first two words together. :) You can't tell he adores Granpa B can you!?
