Oh baby.....we are....

Okay, so this is the post that I was trying to write yesterday before that stupid spider interrupted me and I couldn't think anymore. This time I swear I am not just joking around with you guys. A couple of posts ago I was just preparing you for the BIG news. Again, I am still very reluctant on whether I should spill the beans yet or not, since life tends to throw unexpected curve balls at you. However, I can't take it anymore and I feel like I am going to burst at the seams if I continue to keep it in. I am sure you have guessed what it is already....YES....WE ARE PREGNANT!!!
Okay, okay, I know I will give you some details. I am measuring at 11 weeks and our due date is Jan. 4th. I am measuring just a couple days earlier than my due date but they are going to keep the due date the same for right now (who knows could be a Dec. baby). Yesterday, I had my third ultrasound and the baby is growing strong and healthy. The heartbeat is very strong and soothing to hear for me and that is all that I really care to see and hear. Even though I have been lucky enough to see the baby's stubby little arms and legs moving and it's alien looking face!! (looks just like Nick.....LOL!!)
I feel like I have been living at the doctor's office. I am still consider a high-risk pregnancy until I turn 14 weeks, it was only suppose to be until 12 weeks, but I was spotting a little bit (sorry for any guys that are reading this) and they found some blood internally and they want to watch out for it. So, despite the tiredness and the sickness that comes with the territory I am emotionally drained and I feel like it shows. I cry every time I go to the doctor just waiting for some bad news. My poor doctor probably thinks I am crazy!!! I hate the feeling of being on pins and needles everyday. I just wish that they would take me off these stupid hormone pills because they are making me a basket case. But, I will take every emotion that is thrown at me as long as everything is healthy and strong with the baby. I do have an AMAZING husband that helps me every step of the way and oh how I love him so so so much for it!!
We are very excited, still a little nervous and scared, but we will keep you updated on any new baby news that we get.

:) Yea I know we already knew but I had to pretend for a minute that it was just let out of the bag. It's nice that you can tell everyone. I think you should hold on and not deliver till January 25...Though, Nick, the Accountant... Probably wouldn't mind the dec birth.... Another DEDUCTION!!!!!!

That's funny. I already had Jess requested the doctor to induce in December for the rebate and the extra exemption. I changed my exemptions on my w-4 when Jess got prego the first time so if we don't have a baby before the end of the year we may be paying a little back!! I try to get as much as that paycheck as I can!! Don't want the govt holding onto it!

Emily...yes I am still going to Dr.Graham. I think he is an AWESOME doctor. There is always this one nurse that works with him and she is SO NICE to me...I love her as well!!
I am so glad that you told me about Dr. Graham because it really has made a difference to me. I am glad that he is my doctor now and when I went through the miscarrige too.

Katherine said...

Congratulations, Bettes'! That's fun news!

Kate said...

I am so relieved for you that the ultrasound went okay! And, sweetie, of course you are on pins and needles. I would be too. We will definitely pray for you and the little bun in the oven. So far so good, though!!! Let me know if you need anything. I missed you at the pool on Wednesday. You are one hot pregnant gal!

Hey, congratulations, guys! I am sending this from Jenny's account, because I didn't get an invitation. It's possible I just deleted it along with 20 million junk emails I get daily. Anyways, congrats! Nick, don't want to spoil it for you, but in case you couldn't tell, it's a girl.

Adam L. said...

Woo hoo! Congrats! Hope all is well. Nick's comment about taxes was classic.

Jessica said...

I'm so excited for you guys. I was so excited when I had a December due date because I only have to meet one insurance deductible. I know that's horrible, but I can't help that I have a practical side! I hope all goes well for you guys. Davis will be an adorable big brother.
