Well my first trimester is officially over, and YES I'm still in shock. To even say the words "I'm pregnant" is beyond any blessing that I could have ever hoped for. My last ultrasound was at 12 wks 6 days and this was a 60 minute ultrasound which measured all of our baby's measurements including the brain, stomach, heart etc etc. Baby Lewis passed with flying colors and got a very good report and was reported as growing well. They also measured the fluid pocket on the back of the neck to look for signs of any issues, and the fluid pocket was perfect..... :) :) I was beyond elated, and felt beyond happy. Chris was not able to make it to the appointment with me because of training, but he was very happy and so excited to hear that our baby was doing so wonderful and he is beyond excited. He talks to my belly and kisses it when he comes home and leaves for work.
So here is a pic of me while we were crib shopping at 13 wks!!
And here is Another Pic of me at 14 wks
(This is my work shirt, so disregard the attire, its not a very flattering pregnancy shirt)
And so we have decided to also to upgrade our beloved Jeep.... Chris has loved this thing since I surprised him with it back when he came home off deployment back in 2006. We only had one car at the time and when he came home he had a new Jeep that he was so excited about.... But with our new little one coming and our two little rug rat dogs we decided we better upgrade and get something bigger for road trips, strollers, pack n plays, baby strollers... etc etc. It was hard letting the Jeep go, but our new Chevy Tahoe is awesome and we both love it very much. It's nice to feel like the King of the Road and people move out of your way when your coming up behind them.... :) :) This is our first full sized SUV, and I'll have to get used to the parking, but I think we are going to love it.
Our new Ride for Baby Lewis
Annnddddd.... we finally picked out the baby's first crib. After looking around several different stores and pricing items we decided to go to the Navy Exchange and utilize their sale they had on baby furniture. I'm not going to buy the bedding until we know for sure what the sex is of the baby... but we are hoping to know that in the next 2 to 4 weeks. Here is a pic of the ad of what we picked out... minus the decor!!! Got the crib, the changing table/dresser and the mattress. We are still looking for a rocking chair or glider.
So my next appointment is on Friday Sept 28th. I don't know if we will get a peak of what the baby's sex is or not. But we are hoping that we will, we are all on pins and needles waiting. Thank you everyone so much for all your sweet wishes and kind words. Chris and I continue to feel blessed and feel like this was all meant to be and GOD is in control. I knew he had it in his plans for Chris and I to become parents one day, and we feel like we can do this. It's not easy being pregnant, and I'm tired and cranky but I feel like the end result is worth it. And I CANNOT wait.....
I'll write again after my appointment.... LOVE TO YOU ALL!!
