22 Weeks along....

Today I had my 22 week appointment. I weighed in 1 pound heavier thant last time for a total of 3lbs total gain. However, we are not measuring inches - I'm pretty sure my but and hips are growing!! My dr. was pleased with that as was I. Since I'm so short and have NO torso, I'm going straight out!! Yikes! The dr. didn't even have to search for the heart beat this time! (yay!) He barely put the doppler on my belly and you could hear Maggie's heart beat  going strong! It was really exciting!! The bad part about the appointment was that urine sample came back showing high sugar. Of course they questioned me on what I ate for lunch trying to figure out what I had sweet. The sad thing is....I had nothing sweet! :( He seemed concerned, but wasn't really "that" concerned. Instead of doing my glucose test at 30 weeks, he is going to do it at my next appt. on Feb. 24th. Hopefully everything will go well!

As for the rest of this week....yikes! It has been a doozy! I started my Monday night class in Victoria, which isn't bad, I just hate having to drive. However, I only have to do it until March 7th. Wednesday was picture day, which throws your whole schedule off. Then today we had Bluebonnet Book Voting-which wasn't working so that put us 1 hr behind schedule, and my kids got to go to Mr. Gatti's for E-award which was another hour!! UUGGHHH!! So glad tomorrow is Friday!!!

One good thing that did happen today was that Sears FINALLY delivered my correct fridge, and Jackson installed the new countertops!! Whoo-hoo!! Now all we need is the backsplash and the house will be 100%!! I have to take my state exam on Saturday, so hopefully Jackson will work on some more little odds and ends around here while I'm gone. Then hopefully we will hang some decor on the walls on Sunday - I've been putting it off!

I hope everyone has a GREAT Friday and a Fantastic weekend!!

Oooo...We're Half Way There....

I am 20 weeks today, which means I'm half way there! O ya!! :)  Last night Jackson took two belly photos for me to put in Miss Maggie's baby book. The wild thing has been moving quite a bit lately. Last night I was laying on my back watching tv and she rolled or did something major. It was the NEATEST feeling-it hurt a little but felt good at the same time!!! She was then close to the "surface" and you could really feel where she was! I called Jackson to come in and feel it and of course he didn't want to get up until the next commerical. MEN!!! By the time he did come, she had already went back to her comfy position. However, when he left this morning, he kissed me and walked out of the room. Apparently Maggie wanted some of daddy's attention so she did it again! This time he was able to feel where she was a little bit.

I must say that being pregnant is a wonderful blessing from God. I enjoy every minute of it - even when I was sick!  I wish and pray for everyone to be able to someday feel this excitement!

As for the house....we are unpacking a little more each day!!! A lot of the stuff is wedding gifts that we didn't need right when we got married, so we put them in tubs until we got a new house. I must say that I feel like I just got married! Lol! I also found gifts that I had purchased just to have around for that last minute party/occassion. However, some of them I may want to keep for myself!

As soon as EVERYTHING is in it's place, we will be having everyone over to come see!!

Moved In!!

Jackson, Annie, and I spent our first night in the new house on Saturday! It was very exciting! We spent the weekend unpacking more stuff and tried to get settled. I will try to post pics soon!!
Last year we bought Annie her own bed, but she refused to sleep on it and slept with us instead. For some reason, she likes her bed now. She slept on it all night Saturday until 6am Sunday....she heard a loud noise and came and climbed in bed with us. I love having her to snuggle with, but I do hope she continues to sleep in her own bed!
Another exciting thing....Miss Maggie has began to move around even more! It's neat that I can finally feel her more often! Actually...she's been wild today!!

It's a GIRL!!

YAY!! Maggie Mae should be here June 2nd!!! Everything went great at my appointment! She was extra active and even decided to pee while we were making sure she was a girl! haha I gained two pounds, which is all I've gained this whole time, and the doctor was pleased with that!

Now it's time to buy some pink bows!!!!

18 weeks

Today I am 18 weeks!!! Yay! I was suppose to find out what I'm having today, but the doctor is out on vacation. I have an appointment on Monday morning to find out! We- or maybe I should say I- can't wait!!! Jackson really doesn't want to find out, but I do. I really want to start to decorate the baby's room and get things ready! We will keep baby #2 a secret! haha

Holidays

Whoo-hoo for the Christmas holidays!!!
Jackson, Alicia, Slade, Clay, Layton, Dad, Beverly, Sloane, Bill, Quentin, Kaid, and myself loaded up on the 17th and headed to Breckenridge Colorado for a skiing adventure! The 21 hour drive was uncomfortable, but we all made it safely! It snowed everyday-all day while we were there! Jackson taught the gang to ski since he and I were the only ones with experience. Then the guys hit the mountain and us ladies stuck to the slope that went by our house. We also spent a day at the sledding park, where Clark Griswald once sledded. Now that is my favorite! We have tons of picstures that I will post soon!!

We spent Christmas Eve at my dad's house with his side of the family. We played the traditional Chinese Christmas and I ended up with a Brad Paisley Greatest Hits CD and an Academy GC. Then, to my surprise, dad and Beverly gave Baby Motal a new rocking chair for mommy and daddy to rock "it" in. Can't wait to use it!

Christmas Day was spent with my mom's family at my grandma's house. He had a delicous lunch and opened presents. Then, my mom, Aunt Becky, Granny, Robin, and I spent about 4 hours playing dominoes. It was a lot of fun!

We had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to a Happy New Year!!!

First Ultrasound- November 4, 2010

The six weeks from the time I found out I was pregnant until my first ultrasound seemed like a lifetime! Morning sickness sank in and was almost daily! I also had the normal bloating where nothing fit right. :(  Finally November 4th came and Jackson and I went to see our little blessing for the first time! It was so surreal seeing the little peanut on the screen and hearing the heartbeat! Of course Jackson had the tech clarify that there was only 1.....my grandma had twin sisters! The heart rate was a rapid 176 and the doctor said everything looked great!!! I scheduled my 14 week appt and went home to share the news with EVERYONE!!!
