Had another doc apt. I now weight 145lbs. Only 3 months to go :) I am now 26 weeks. Daddy bought me this great pillow so I could sleep better, its called a snuggle. You have been moving around alot more. It seems like you move around more at night and sleep during the day ( Yikes) so I know what that means no sleep for mommy and daddy.

I was scarred but new it was what I need to do to keep you save :), I'm sure this is just the 1st of many things that I will be doing to keep you save despite my own fears. My arm is just a little sore, it will now take about two weeks to start working.

Just thinking about you.

Well lets see today is Nov. 1, time is just flying by. 1st I could wait to find out weather you would be a boy or a girl, and now that we know I just can't wait to see you and hold you. yesterday was Halloween and I was thinking about next year and how you would be hear and we could take you to visit everyone and show you off in your little costume.

Though I have been feeling you for awhile now, it has just been small flutters. I'm looking forward to feeling you really move around. Daddy and I have been thinking about different ideas for your room. I think we picked this so far.

18 Weeks Today

How your baby's growing:Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

Our baby boy's video

ITS A BOY!!!!!

Wow word just can't describe our excitement. We arrived at "That's my Baby" it was such a nice place. Me, Daddy, Grama Cindy and pop Mike all went. She said it was a Boy right away, she also said you where so long and looked like daddy. You weighed 7oz. We are thinking of calling you Ethan Jagger Murphy or Ethan Tyler Murphy. You look so cute I think you where even smiling in one of the pics.

Daddy is so excited and can't wait to start playing catch with you.

Me at 16 weeks

Today I was having a great morning. I got up got ready for my normal trip to columbia. Daddy took this pic of me in the morning. When I got to work everything changed

My boss came in and was kinda getting on me about a report that he said I forgot to send. NO I DID not but I couldn't find it. But anyway I got soooo upset, he didn't see it but I started to cry which was a 1st I couldn't stop. I was so emotional.

Also new thing my eyes are so dry, they are burning and I have begun to have heartburn every night. My sleeping this week has also been rough I fall asleep at 7 or 8 then up at 2am fall back to sleep at 3am up at 6am.

16 Weeks

We are now reaching mid October, I just had a doctors apt. yesterday. Doctor Mahata said your heartbeat sounded great! I had to get blood taken again, she said I am now 124lbs. I still am wearing my normal clothes, I just have a small belly.

Daddy and I will be finding out in one week if you are a boy and a girl. I'm so excited, I broke down the other day and bought you a Halloween costume for next year :). I can't wait to start working on your room. It feels like time is flying by I am almost 5 months now. which means only 4 months to go crazy.

14.5 weeks

Well its been a little while, everything has calmed down a lot. Or at least I have lol. I spoke to the doctor you are perfectly fine :), which was music to my hears. My Doppler came and it works great. I can now listen to your heartbeat whenever I want. My stomach has started to grow now, and I have been eating more. I will post a new pic soon.

I was so worried

Yesterday I missed a call from the genetics testing center, they wanted to go over my blood work. I had been so worried all night, but I called this morning and they told me everything looked great! I have just started my 2nd trimester and I have begun to stress a little, I just want to hear your heartbeat everyday. I did buy a heartbeat monitor yesterday so I hope it works.

another Sono pic

Another trip to the doctors

Today your daddy and I went to the doctors in Annapolis, we had to get genetics testing. Everything looked good the doc said. The nurse tried to figure out if you where a boy or a girl but you would not move your legs, you just kept them crossed. your heartbeat was 159. I weighted in at 124 lbs, I'm starting to show more. The nurse said you where cute! I must agree with that. Daddy took a video of you too. We go back on Nov. 12th another chance to see you!

Also we are now welcoming Fall. the weather is wonderful

I woke up this morning craving a huge breakfast, so Grandad (Larry) made some Bacon. I ran to the store and pick up juice, pancake mix, bread, etc. Anymore this is my favorite meal, give me syrup, pancakes, eggs and more.

Your daddy is so proud, and just so happy he wanted all 8 of your pictures to take to work, to show the guys. I just really now cant wait to find out your sex ;)

My 1st Doctor apt.

Today was my 1st apt., Shawn and I where a little disappointment. We showed up at 9:30 to meet the doctor, she had to run out another patient was 7-8 cm. So we had to wait around until 1pm to see the doc. I was so hoping we would get the hear your little heartbeat, but not this time.The doctor said that right now my uterus is turned upside down, it will straighten up in the next 2 weeks and we should be able to hear it. They took my blood and it hurt so bad :( that nurse didn't know what she was doing at all. We now have an apt. set up next Thursday at 11:45am for my 1st sonogram.

9.5 weeks, weight 122.5,

9 weeks

I am almost 10 weeks today, tomorrow is my 1st doctors apt. ( I'm very excited). yesterday my belly button was hurting it was so weird, also my lower back has been killing my as well. I have been feeling good, I really want to start exercising more though. I have not been to sleepy really. I have not had any cravings yet. I do love to eat Popsicle's though. Kinda funny last night we had a little cookout at the house, I did kinda want pickles. But I think that was because whenever I eat hamburgers or hot dogs I want a pickle, but we got a laugh out of it.

Now 8 Weeks

Yesterday marked 8 weeks ( 2 months down 7 to go). I promise I will post a pic soon, and up date on my measurements. I don't think there is much of a change yet. Cindy (Grandma) said she noticed. I have already went into baby's r us yesterday just looking around, wanted to buy you stuff already.I plan on getting you some little speakers soon, so you can listen to music. I also want to get something so me and your Daddy can listen to your heartbeat. I'm really looking forward to 16 weeks when we can find out if you are a he or a she???

UPDATE: I am now about 117.5lbs, I'm not yet showing.

I went to Kelly W bday yesterday, had a good time. Met another girl who was 12weeks, she told me she has already felt her baby move. I'm getting more excited about the day when we will get to feel you move.

Found out they have a home gender test, I will take it in Sept.
