thinking about it

so, I've been thinking and doing some research into cloth diapers. They've come a long way from squares of thin fabric held together with safety pins. they snap and velcro, and they have elastic around the legs. there's so many different kinds! and they even have biodegradable liners that catch the solids, then you just flush the liner and contents away, so it's not so messy. It'll be cheaper in the long run, and soo much better for the environment! I read somewhere that it takes 500 years for a disposable diaper to degrade in the landfills. that's nuts! so anyway, like I said, just something I'm thinking about...

just thought I'd let you know. :)

on a side note I have a headache today. :(:( I've been extremely fortunate, since you all know how much I get headaches, this is the first major one I can remember getting since I found out I was pregnant! hopefully by tomorrow it'll go away. if not then I'll have to go get some Tylenol.

ok, have a great day and talk to ya later!

Predictions?

ok guys, some thing fun I just thought of. Kirsten gave me her prediction on the baby today.

you are going to have a little boy, with dark hair and I think brownish, golden eyes. And he is going to have a oval face and smaller, thinner lips. Kinda longer, thin nose, but not ugly. A bit of a higher forehead and a bit of widows peak, but not much.

What's yours?? :):)

Dr's appt and new pics

hi there! well I had another dr's appointment today. had an ultrasound first. everything is looking good. 2.o is now 1 inch big. :) I can't believe how much it's grown in 2 weeks! :) the dr is very nice, but seemed alittle rushed. The tests they did last week all turned out ok. my prolactin levels were high, but about 60 points less than the concern point, so he just said we'd keep an eye on it. :) seems like my due date changes whenever I see the doctor, but according to the ultrasound I am now 9 weeks and 1 day, making my estimated due date 2/21.

as for me, I'm doing pretty good. I've gained about 9 pounds in the last 2 weeks, which is probably more than normal, but I've been eating alot of crap and eating more often, probably because of the not smoking thing, but next time I go to the grocery store I'm going to buy more healthy food and try and eat better... I was craving cheeseburgers like crazy last week.. ;) As for pregnancy symptoms, I've been off and on pissy, smelling EVERYTHING, & experiencing alittle more than usual heartburn and going potty, but thank goodness no morning sickness yet (knock on wood) :) Anyway, enough talk, onto the pics!!

The little circle thing above the baby is the yoke sack. it's whats nourishing the baby while the placenta is developing. The 3d picture doesn't show much, but it's still pretty cool. :)

Until next time. :)

Oh, and thanks again bessy for the maternity clothes!! the red shirt is one you gave me. :):)

Baby's room

For those of you wondering about where the baby's room will be, it'll be in the 2nd bedroom upstairs. :) We'll need to get the windows replaced before he/she comes and hopefully that will aliviate the coldness up there. Also running the baseboard heaters should help too.. :) We'll probably try to figure out a way to keep the futon in there for visitors and maybe me in the beginning for ease of feeding.. :)

Have a good day! :)

pictures

hi there! so I had mentioned that I was getting a crib from Kirsten, but today we found a crib that had been left in one of the apartments and we grabbed it. :) It's cool, it's got a changing table and shelves included. so pretty excited about that, except I don't have the room cleaned out yet, so the crib is sitting in our entry way right now.. ;) Oh and on the belly picture, I might have pushed my belly out, just a little bit... ;)

I made my first batch of ice cream last night with the ice cream maker Kirsten got me for my birthday!! it was cookies and cream and it was FABULOUS!!! :):) After this batch is gone though I think I'll move onto frozen yogurt, which is more healthy for 2.0 and I.. ;)

Pictures

just a few pics for ya..

quick update

well today was doctor day. left work about 10:40 and headed to the clinic for my 11:00 appt. got called back at almost 11:30 and started doing all the medical history questions. after a while chris got there and came back to the room. OH, just a side note, they gave me a copy of what to expect when your expecting for free!! how cool is that! I almost bought that yesterday! :)

ok, so anyway, we finish up with the history stuff, then head off into the ultrasound room. after alittle bit of waiting she came and and started up. She took a bunch of pictures espcially of the cysts on my ovaries, which are a heck of alot bigger than I thought they were, but didn't seem to worry her at all. Then we got to see little 2.0, and hear the heartbeat, she took pics (will scan tonight) and that was that. She did say judging by the measurements I'm 6 weeks 6 days today. So I figured out my approx due date is now going to be around the End of February.

So then we left and went to get some lunch, then chris went back to work and I headed back to the clinic for my 1:30 appt with the doctor. I got brought back pretty quickly, but then waited in the room FOREVER!! I don't think she came in till after 2:00, so then she did her exam, and that was about it. I didn't really like her too much, she wasn't very forth coming w/information, but that's ok, cuz she's just a temp doctor and I'll start seeing my new doctor who I hear is very good in 2 weeks. So I made my appointment for another ultrasound and appt with the new doctor in 2 weeks and headed over to the hospital for my blood work. (hospital is just right accross the street) so waited around there for a bit and finally got all my blood work done and got back to work at about 3:00! That was a very long morning!! ;) Oh, and once I get my medical card in she wanted me to go to a nurologist and maybe get another mri done when I can to check that growth I had on my pituitary gland and one of the blood tests they ordered was to check my prolactin levels, which if you remember were high due to the growth...

ok, gotta go for now, will post pics later.

aannnd we're off!

yeah, We're pregnant!!!! hehe it's absolutely a freaking miracle!!

So here's how I found out...

Went into the clinic on Thursday morning the 2nd at 6:45 to get my yearly done before work. I asked them to go ahead and just do a pregnancy test real quick cuz I was late, but that's nothing new, because of my PCOS, so it was just a formality, I had absolutely no idea that it would come up positive. So I do my thing, the nurse does her thing, and I'm just sitting in the room waiting for them to come in, say it's negative and get on with stuff. Well I hear alittle noise from the room she's in and then she comes in and says It's positive!!! Holy Crap, utter shock!!! jaw dropped and I'm like are you sure??? she brought me in to see it and said the line just jumped out! no waiting, boom it was there!!! So I'm totally freaking out, crying, hugging her and just generally in shock! :) So, I left, still in shock and drove out to chris's work. He knew that I was going to the dr that morning, and that I was late, but again, we've gone through that so many times. So I called him as I was turning in the parking lot and told him to come outside and I said "Weelll" and he said what, and I just looked at him and he said Your Pregnant?? and I said Yup!! :):) I think he handled the news quite well! :)

So the rest of the day was spent calling everybody and telling them the news. I know some people prefer to wait, but not me!!

As for my bad addictions, starting that day I've had 2 soda's a day and 1 to 2 ciggs a day. I'd say I'm doing pretty well!! Today I'm gonna do my damnedest not to have any ciggs. I know little 2.0 & daddy would appreciate that. :)

I have my first doctors appointment tomorrow the 7th. I'll let everybody know how it went. :)

Until later, think happy, positive thoughts for us!! :):)

btw, Chris came up with the nickname 2.0 and I think for us it's very fitting!! In computer language it basically means, it's the next version of us! hehe
