Now go to a picture folder and upload the 4th picture.

This is a picture of me from almost 2 years ago during the summer I spent in Chicago. I miss my long hair! And I wish I could still fit into that dress! lol!

Talkin bout...My giirrll!

"I've got sunshine, on a cloudy day.

When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May.

I guess you'd say, what can make me feel this way?

My girl! Talkin bout, My girl!"

This is our baby girl! I think it looks just like the other picture. But still cute! I can't wait to meet my baby!!

Things have been good here. I go to work, come home, sleep on the couch, Matt gets home, we eat dinner, then I go to bed. lol. Lots of sleeping for me! I had a definite pregnant moment today. I had to recount some money to a customer, I had the right amount I just got mixed up for a second. No big deal right? Oh no! As soon as they left I started crying hysterically and had to leave the floor, hahaha! Then I came back down a few minutes later and was fine. Yay for hormones!

Poor Matt, we rarely go out to do anything anymore, but now that I'm getting to the end of the first trimester I can't wait to have a little more energy (I'm already not as nauseous as I was) so hopefully we'll get to have some fun, especially now that it's starting to get warmer. Matt's still loving his job and working like a mad man every day and then comes home to his crazy pregnant wife who randomly cries or yells for absolutely no reason. He's so sweet, he always just waits and asks me if I'm ok or if there's anything he can get me. Then tells me he loves me and kisses me. I love him so much and couldn't even imagine doing this without him!

To Matt:

I love you, I love you, I love you! And I know I've already told you this, But I am apologizing in advance for the next 6 and 1/2 months of craziness and hormones. I'm sorry that I get cranky sometimes for what seems like no reason, or get all teary, again for no reason. Please just understand that it's not you! I love you so much. Thank you for being the most wonderful husband and the father of my baby! I can't wait to go through this adventure with you. Love, Love, Love!!

Already?

Yep, I grow babies really fast and this is our baby! lol! No really, I found this website where you upload a pic of you and then a pic of your husband or whoever, and then it shows you what your baby would look like. I have to say, not to brag or anything, but I think our baby boy turned out super cute! I tried to do a girl too, but it was having problems so I have to try again tomorrow.

New wedding pics!

We finally decided to scan some of our professional wedding photos onto the computer and thought I would share a few of those with you all. I love this photo. It's 2 photos, both taken during our first dance. Love it!

AwwwUUUUgaaa! Look at those sexxy men! Scott, Matt and Dave posing, looking all studly for the camera.

Amy, Me and Lindsey posing. I love how they melded it together with the photo of our feet and the flowers. Beautiful!

Yay! We really got married! We were very, very, very excited to actually be done with all of it!

I won't bore you with a million other photos that we scanned too, but I am adding more on Facebook, so if any of you are on there you can check them out there.

Baby Pics!

New pics! Ok, I had just driven back from Ohio and I'm exhausted in these pictures, so of course I look fabulous, (not!). Oh well.


This is at 9wks. If you didn't know I was pregnant, you'd just think I was fat! But there's definitely a bump there!

9 wks bare belly pic. In my fabulous maternity pants I bought from Old Navy. They are sooo much more comfortable than anything I have been wearing lately. I can't even button any of my other pants anymore.

My 6 week pic, just to compare. I can tell the difference more than you can see it in the pics. But it's there!

I finally had an ultrasound this morning!! It was the most amazing feeling I've had since seeing that positive pregnancy test. There's really a baby in there!! Holy cow!

Our little bean!! Hearbeat was nice and strong at 186 BPM. We got to hear it! It was so cool!

I know these aren't the best quality pictures, but you get the idea, lol.

We've got legs!! yay! I've never been so happy to see legs before!!

Baby is not camera shy! He was waving his arms around and dancing for us! So incredible!

I was crying the whole time and Matt and I were holding hands so tight.... it really was awesome. I mean that in the sense that it inspired an overwhelming sense of awe inboth of us. I can't even explain how incredibly amazing it was.

Nurse said I was 9wks and 2days. So right around where I had guestimated myself to be. Maybe a day ahead, but I won't change my EDD unless the doc tells me to. I figure a day or 2 doesn't really matter anyway since most babies aren't even born on their due dates. But Matt's pretty excited that the baby might be born on his birthday, which is Oct. 7th.

More stuff

I figured since I had so much I wanted to talk about I would break them up into smaller posts. I had to go to training this week for my job. I mentioned this earlier but I am working at Chase as a part-time teller. I had to go to Columbus, OH for 3 days. I drove up Monday night and came home last night (Thursday night). it was a lot of fun actually. Everything was on Chase, I only had to pay for my lunches. I drove up there in a rental car, stayed in the Hilton Garden Inn, and had my breakfasts and dinners paid for. We had classroom every day from 8:30 till 5. It was really well structured training. Lots of details and lots of practice, so I feel really good about going to work on Monday and really knowing what I'm doing. And I passed all my tests at the end so yay!!

It was so wierd to be away from Matt for so long though. I had the hardest time sleeping, especially the first night. But it was sooo nice to come back home and be with him!!

Way past time for an update!

Sorry it's been so long! There's been so much going on, I wanted to wait until it all settled down, lol. First things first, I switched Doctors. Let me tell you why:
I went in for an appointment on Feb. 27. Not a prenatal appt, but a colposcopy, cause my pap smear had come back weird (but it was just because I'd had a yeast infection when they did it, so that's fine). When I got there they asked me how I'd been feeling and I told them I'd been having really bad cramps and some sharp shooting pains. I wasn't even spotting or anything and the nurse starts talking about miscarriages and what I should do, blah, blah, blah and basically freaking the crap out of me. She sent me to the hospital to get my hcg levels checked. So that Friday my level was 84,293, then I went back on Sunday and my level was 90,182. They told me that my levels hadn't gone up as much as they would have liked so they were going to schedule me for an ultrasound the next day, so this past Monday, March 2. The hospital was supposed to call me Monday morning to let me know what time my appointment was. So monday morning rolls around and I'm still freaking out and the phone never rings. Finally I called the hospital myself to see whats going on and they didn't have me scheduled at all!! The nurse at familycare had never sent in orders for my ultrasound!! I called the clinic and ended up talking to 3 different nurses, all who had no idea what was going on. Finally they said they would find the midwife and call me back. They never called back!

Later that day I was getting ready to leave for Ohio to go to my training class, I stopped by the Liquor Company to see Matt before I left and Dr. Winkler was there. He is the husband of Matt's boss and an Ob/GYN. We talked to him for awhile and I told him what had been going on with the clinic. He told me not to go back there and to come see him instead and gave us the number for his office. Yay!! I have a doctor who actually cares about me and knows me as a real person!!
