Baby Boy

I had a doctor appointment today and for now will remain on bedrest. Things are looking good though and the baby is doing great. Here are a few pictures from today's ultrasound. As you can see he had his hand up to his mouth almost the whole time. So beautiful.

We're Having a Boy!

We had been planning on keeping the gender a surprise, but it's just to exciting to hold back. We're having a baby boy!

An Eventful Weekend

That's our baby! Baby Boyer is doing beautifully at 7 oz. and measuring 5 days ahead. I only have a moment to post, but hopefully will be able to put more details later. I was admitted to the hospital because of bleeding on Saturday morning. We had our "big" ultrasound. Which was amazing, the baby was moving so much! That is when they found the reason for the bleeding, placenta previa. The important thing is that the baby is doing wonderfully, but I do have to be on bedrest. So back to bed I go!

Back from the Beach!

We just spent the last 4 days in Ocean Isle with family. Such fun! In between time on the beach, in the ocean, and the pool we managed to get some Christmas shopping in. It may sound a bit early, but that is one of my goals this summer. I want to complete, or close to complete my Christmas shopping, since December will be so unpredictable. Tom and I made a quick day trip to Wilmington on Wednesday and had a great time. We picked up some Baby’s 1st Christmas ornaments in Calabash. With a December 27th due date we just don’t know whether his/her first Christmas will be 2008 or 2009!
It was fun thinking about next year. We are planning on taking our son/daughter for their first beach trip in June, July, or August. I think 6-7 months is a great age for a first beach trip. After so many years of dreaming and struggling, it is simply wonderful to plan our very near future with our child. Baby has definitely been making its presence known lately! I can’t wait till the “flutters” become kicks and are strong enough for Tom to feel as well.
Friday night, I began taking a prescription for Zofran. We’ll call this the miracle drug! I have not gotten sick since Sunday night, what a blessing that has been!
Everything is going great, just still so surreal. Back to reality now that we're home from vacation. I just love summer vacations!

Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July everyone! We had another doctor appointment yesterday and heard baby's heartbeat loud and clear. Such an amazing sound! Next appointment will be the "BIG" ultrasound with an anatomy scan. We have decided to keep the baby's gender a surprise though. I know this will be incredibly difficult to do!
Have a safe and FUN weekend!
