12 Weeks

Wow, I'm already 1/3 of the way done. So far it's been really easy, I hope it stays that way. Other than being picky about food, and some leg cramps, i feel really good. I got a few bumps and bruises this week when i fell on the ice and hit my head on someones car....ouch! Billy has been amazing, he handles my mood swings like and old pro, and has started washing the dishes for me (because food grosses me out) his new saying is "Babe, your sooo weepy" I can't help it if silly little things make me want to cry. Thank God for good husbands!!


This last week we went in for our check up with the doc, and he did another ultrasound so we could see the baby's new arms and legs. It was so cool :) the baby was dancing, and twirling and flipping around so fast.... our little tiny dancer!


The doc ordered some more blood work to be done to see if i inherited the same genes that causes my mother's blood clotting. If this first test comes back neg. then we don't have anything to worry about, so we'll see. I'm glad our doctor is so pro-active about this, because I really don't want to find out I have a problem with blood clotting when I'm on the delivery table.


Well when we went in for the ultrasound the baby was 2 1/2 inches from head to bottom. This week the baby is making its digestive system, white blood cells, and the pituitary gland has started producing hormones.

11 Weeks

Well were at 11 weeks and time is just flying by. For the most part I still feel great. I'm a little more nauseous, and i figured out the hard way that the baby DOES NOT like eggs. Food in general is turning me off, I'm hungry but nothing looks good, or smells right. Speaking of smells, onions, bell peppers, anything sun-dried tomato, and any kind of meat is totally gross!

Our baby is doing alot this week. Now, according to "the book" our baby is 2 inches, is forming individual fingers and toes, hair follicles are forming, the nose, sinuses, tounge and mouth are formed and if its a girl, the ovaries are developing....cool :)

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!
I'm feeling great and looking forward to spending time with the family on this special holiday. Baby Reece got it's first Christmas ornament from Grandma Jackie. Grandma keeps referring to our baby as a "little pea in the pod" and she found an ornament that is exactly that...a pea in a pod :)

9 Weeks

We are at 9 weeks, and just started the third month. "The Book" says that our baby is now an inch long and growing little arms and legs.

I am still feeling good, not quite so tired, but a little more queasy in the stomach.

Had to change my job at Wal-Mart, I was doing all the freight for the deli, but the doc doesn't want me lifting over 25lbs. So back to just working in the deli.

1st Doctor's visit






Well we went and saw our OB/GYN -great guy, very mellow :), and we got to see the baby, and see it's heart beating!! You should have seen Billy's face when we saw the ultrasound, he had a grin from ear to ear. We got our due date: July 29, 2010, which means i'm in my 8th week.....THANK GOD we have air conditioning! I told Billy that i'm going to spend the summer either at the beach, or camped out in front of the air conditioner :) We also got to tour the hospital in Chewelah where i will give birth. It's a cute little country hospital, nice and quite, and they only have two birthing suites.....I love small towns. I love our doctor, he is very laid back, knowledgeable, and had the perfect answers for all of my questions.

I am feeling great, this pregnancy thing is a breeze (knock on wood) I have only had mild nausea(Thank you! Thank you!) I have noticed that little things like when i start to get hungry i have to eat within 10min or else i'm RAVENOUS. Also food tastes amazing! I also have to pee all the time, and from what i'm hearing, that part only gets worse.
