Baby update ...

Soooooo the utlrasound went well! ..... as most of you already know, "Its a girl" .. yaay!!!!!!!!!!! .. babys name is set at Kennley Giada Banninger =)

Baby Kennley was being stubborn and was laying on her belly. So I had to get up and walk around to see if we were able to get her to move because she kept curling up. They were able to confirm that its definatly a girl but was unable to complete all of her measurements ... so we have to go back in a few weeks and do another ultrasound, to get more measurements when baby is bigger. So far she weighs 10oz, which is exactly where she is supposed to be at this point. Everything looked wonderful..... and we are excited about being able to do another ultrasound because Kennley will be bigger so we will be able to get better pics. Sooo I have not set up the appointment but we are anxious to see her again.

As far as the nursery goes, the crib bedding I had my eye on at Pottery Barn is gone.... but all and all, I have not come across anything that I like. Soooo Im having a custom tailored crib skirt made and then Im going to pair it with a solid color sheet, if the project comes along well, I will be able to make a quilt with the same fabric and a valance to match as well. So.... Ill keep updating.... and when im finished,.... pics to follow!

14 days ....

Yep! 14 days until our ultrasound!! ...and counting down the days! lol..

I am going to make it a habbit to write as many blogs as I can to be able to look back on this time. The docs have confrirmed indeed that I do have "hypermeisis"... its not much fun at all. I do have a very understanding doctor, in which I am pleased about as well. She also had hypermeises and hers did not go away unti 25 weeks.... and said there are some that it lasts the entire pregnancy. I am trying to stay postive and believe in my heart of hearts that one day this will just be a thing of the past and one day I will just wake up feeling better, hopefully- sooner than later. I"ve had a few semi ok- days the past two weeks... but when I say semi ok... I mean able to at least walk around for a little bit, and less vomitting than usual. The past few days Im down to 4 or 5 times a day as opposed to 7-10..... so some improvement has been made lol.

As of right now, I also have another docs appointment in the morning of the 23rd. Im off work until then- at that point we will be able to decide if Im able to go back to work at that point or not. I really want to go back sooner, than later. I don't want to lose my position, and really need the health insurance.... however at this point know Im completly uncapable of doing my job. If I sit still and don't do much at all, thats how I have noticed having the improvement but the more I move and try to walk around, the extreme headaches and dizzyness and vomitting set in.... Ok Ok I just wanted to document this.... positive thought!! positive thoughts!!

Given all this time at home with the lap top... Im having a difficult time finding crib bedding that I want. And its important that I find this before Chris paints the nursery. So far if its a girl.... mothers instinct is telling 90% sure it is! lol.... based on wivestales that is... lol Sooo I finally found one that I absolutly adore for a girl at Pottery Barn... however- its on sale ( which is good and bad) good because of the price and bad because as soon as it sells out they are discontinuing it. and I thought ok- well I can just buy it and then return it if we find out its a boy....WRONG- no returns... OYYY!! Im crossing my fingers, 14 days from now it will still be availble if its a girl! lol

Here is a pic of it...(click to enlarge if needed)
