My Belly Moves!

This weekend, my friend Kate and I were getting our toes done and as I sat in the chair, my belly did a little dance. I was so excited that Jeff could finally have a chance to feel her! I waited all day Sunday feeling my stomach and making Jeff feel it and nothing! Then, Sunday night bedtime, she decided to play a soccer game in my belly! Jeff felt her move and kick for probably 10 minutes. She is getting bigger!!!!

Half way there!

Last week and this weekend turned out to be a great time and great news!



When I went to my original ultra sound, my doctor thought the amniotic fluid had some particles that aren't usually there. So, she sent me to the high risk doctor who said that Carlos is doing just fine. The particles are blood cells from a hemorrhage that I had, but it shouldn't be an issue from here on out. I just have to get another ultrasound in a few months. He also said that she is not small and there was no reason to move my due date, so it's back to the August 24th! It was such a huge sigh of relief knowing she was okay and seeing her again. This time, she played with her toes the entire time.



We also went and bought a crib and dresser for her room. It turned out to be quite the event. The guy at the store said, "oh, that should fit in your car with no problem!" Those words were bad luck, because the crib didn't fit. The store couldn't deliver on a specific time on weekdays and they didn't have an opening on a Saturday until May 1st, which is when I will be traveling to my friend Lindsey's bridal shower. So, after receiving the good news about Carlos, I wanted the crib! Jeff was still at work, so I took it upon myself to rent a 14 foot U-hall. I was a little nervous to drive it since the seat didn't move up far enough for me, but I just used my tip-toes and made it there and back in one piece!


This weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting my friend, Jeanice, for her baby shower in Chicago. It was great seeing her and my other college roommates Megan and Lindsey! Megan's daughter Elliot was our entertainment for the weekend, and did a great job! I couldn't have asked for a better time!



Jeff's mom sent this cheerleader outfit for Carlos. I'm sure she will be the Buckeye's number one baby fan!

OH-IO

Jeff made this last night. I thought it was cute! Think he's excited????

Introducing "Carlos"

Last week we were able to see baby Carlos for the first time. We found out that Carlos is a girl!!! She was quite the busy little thing in my belly while we were trying to see her. She did an entire flip while we watched and then played with her little hands the rest of the time. The ultrasound tech. said that her foot is 21mm long :) The Dr. also said that she is a little small so they moved my due date back a week to September 1st. I think she is just little so am still counting down to August 24th!

After going to the doctor, Jeff and I drove to O'Fallon for Easter with his family. It was great to see his family and relax! It had been a long time since we saw all of his siblings together. We weren't there for very long, but it was well worth the trip!
