My growing belly

Well I am gaining some weight. YEY! about 8 lbs I guess. I have had to change to maternity clothes. Or at least the bottoms for now. I am about 32 inches around. Feeling better, but still having my days. The dizziness is what is really kicking my booty. But I am making it through, and taking each day as it comes. My next Dr's appointment is next Thurs, June 5.
As of now I am 15 weeks. They say I should start feeling the baby move in the next week to 4 weeks. I am ready for that. I can't wait. I am also ready to find out what it is. I have so much planning to do. Still undecided on how to do the baby's room, but am thinking more shapes and colors than animals or themes. But you never know, anything could change my mind at this point. I really need to get into the spare bedroom (the baby's room) and just get it cleaned out and ready for baby stuff to be moved in. Its on my to do list.
Clint and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary yesterday. The years sure go by fast. (I can only imagine how much faster they will go when we have the baby. ) We had a very simple evening, but then again that is us. He had the kitchen cleaned when I got home. (which he has been doing a lot of) And we had a really simple dinner. Tuna fish and egg sandwiches. YUM! He made it. Robyn's just not a cook. Especially after being at work for 11 1/2 hours. That tends to tucker you out! We watched a movie together, and then went to bed....I don't think I would have wanted it to go any other way. Well unless we were off work completely and spent the day together fishing on the lake. That would have been nice! ;)
I am thinking about having my "Dallas" baby shower in December when I come home for Christmas. Like an after baby shower. That way, people who don't get to see me much anyway will have time to see and play with the baby. And it means only one trip home for me. Which will make things easier....and cheaper. Still in the planning, but thinking.

Hope everyone is well and having a fantastic day! Much love xoxo

The days just seem to fly by!

Sorry it has been 12 days since I have been on here and written anything. Seems like the days just fly by and before you know it, its been 2 weeks. WOW...hope Nov and Dec get here soon! I have lots going on at that time!
Things are getting a little better for me. I got quite a bit of stuff marked off my list of things to be done over the weekend. So that helped me to feel better. I even cleaned house. That was impressive. Clint bought me a new washer and dryer over the weekend. I love it. Our washer and dryer before was handed down to us by his parents. They were needing to be replaced at that time, so I figure us getting 4 years of use out of them was great. Clint said with the baby coming he wanted a washer and dryer that would work and not cause us problems. (Especially since he wants the baby to wear cloth diapers instead of the easy to chunk in the trash can kind!)
I have lots of things going through my mind now. Thing I have to think about and make decisions on. {What am I going to do with the baby's room, what hospital am I going to deliver at, what are we going to do about child care, how am I going to get my husband that new pick up truck he so deserves, I need to rebudget for baby, can we really afford this, how do I keep my husband calm when I'm not} Just stuff to add to my list and mark off I guess.

Hope everyone's well. Have a wonderful day!

Baby Update

Well I went to the Doctor this morning and had a pretty good visit. They did my sonogram finally!!! and I am not 11 weeks pregnant anymore...I am now 12 weeks pregnant. They changed my due date to Nov. 20. The baby is bigger and older than we thought! YEY...Good bye first trimester! Whahoo! She said everything looked good and healthy so far. I got to hear the baby's heart beat and see its hands and feet and it was very cute. Very active this morning. My tech that did the ultrasound for me said she thinks it may be a girl, but of course it is still way too early to tell. My doctor also told me I have A negative blood, which gives me the RH factor, which means I have to gt a shot of relgam (?) at about 20 weeks. She said my body will try to make up antibodies to attack the baby. Not so serious with the first pregnancy, but more usually with #2 or later. So I will get the shot. (Oh how I love shots!) Other than that, I go again in 4 wks.
I have been starting to feel a little better, although Clint won't vouch for that, but I do have somewhat more energy than before, and my appetite has come back, so things are looking good. If I can just pass the dizzy spells, and feeling as though I am going to pass out. She said it was normal, so I just have to be careful and get through it.
