Chubby Cheeks and Open Eyes

Life is getting busy and time is flying right on by! Before we know it surrobaby will be here and my family will be preparing for a move across the country.


Our 3 year anniversary dinner

Last week I told yall about mine and Adams anniversary and how I planned a surprise for us for our anniversary. Well that was a total bust.. TOTAL BUST!! The surprise was a pedicure. A nice relaxing pedicure. Well he wasn't too excited about someone rubbing on his feet so as soon as we walked in we walked right back out. Thankfully I didn't make an appointment because then I would have felt bad. I was upset that he didn't want to get a pedicure but on Saturday he made up for it :) Saturday he told me to be ready by 5:30 because he got a baby sitter and was taking me out. Normally I'm the one who plans date night and gets a baby sitter but he had a friend of ours watch the kids and we had a nice dinner just the 2 of us. I love my kids and going out and doing family fun things but its nice to get out and have dinner a husband and wife.

Sunday was Mothers day and we had a great relaxing day. We went to eat for breakfast and then spent the rest of the day at home. I was in a lot of pain the whole weekend and Sunday was probably the worse day of them all. Still not 100% sure what is causing the pain though. I'm guessing its indigestion or reflux(honestly not sure if those are the same thing because I have never experienced this discomfort before but that's what other people seem to think it is). I will say with my previous pregnancies I never experienced pain or discomfort like this.. Monday thankfully wasn't too bad but I still called my OB to see what they wanted me to do. The told me to give Zantac a try to see if it relieves the discomfort so we will see.

Look at those wide open eyes and
chubby cheeks

This is all we could see at
first when we tried looking
at her face. Both arms
covering her face.

Today I had a chiropractor appointment and THEN the 3D ultrasound! I was so excited to see how much she had changed. Well I walk in and get on the ultrasound table. Surrobaby is extremely active. She is pretty much always moving. BUT any time I have an ultrasound she decides to hide or take a nap.. It was funny that the ultrasound tech remembered the previous ultrasound and how surrobabe made us work for good images. The ultrasound was only supposed to take about 15 minutes long. Those 15 minutes were spent pushing my belly, trying to get her to move, me flipping from side to side. NOTHING! She wasn't moving. She has her arms covering her face the whole time. So instead we took a look at her arms, listened to her heartbeat(which was 167), and enjoyed looking at her toes and fingers. Finally we got the arms to move and then she puts a foot in front of her face. So then we had to get her to move that. FINALLY she showed us her whole face. She has such cute chubby cheeks this time and her lips are so plump. It was amazing watching her move on the screen. You could actually see her opening her eyes and see her looking around. It was so neat to see..

 Precious lips

I asked the ultrasound tech if she could take a look to see if she has any hair yet.
And sure enough she does :)

It was amazing to see how much she has changed and how much she has fattened up(in a good way) compared to the last 3D ultrasound. If you want to see the images from the 3D ultrasound we did at 24 weeks click here and it will take you to the blog post about that ultrasound.

Tomorrow we have an OB appointment and I will update again with the pregnancy questionnaire and with a bump photo :) We also have our levy briefing Thursday and I am so excited about that. It will give us a lot of information about our upcoming move and pretty much what to expect! I am so thankful for all the friends we have here that have been able to help us with the kids during the appointments. Yes I can take the kids but my focus will be on them instead of the person talking at the meeting and I will probably miss a lot of important information. So be on the look out tomorrow or Thursday for another blog update :)

Guess What??

As long as things go according to plan we will be scheduling the anatomy scan at my next doctors appointment and we are hoping to schedule it for Valentines day!! J&J will be flying in again for the anatomy scan and hopefully as long as the baby cooperates we will be able to tell if J&J will be getting a baby boy or a baby girl.. So yall have a little less than a month to get yalls guesses in :) I am thinking its a boy.. With Brynna I blew up a LOT quicker than with Brett.. I'm wondering if I can find a few baby bump photos of both pregnancies.. Let me see if I can remember my myspace passwords because I think that's where most of my Brett baby bump photos are HAHA! So I got another heartbeat video and sent it to J&J a few days ago. They LOVED it! It was so amazing listening to it and so neat at how much easier it was to find it this time around compared to last time. Here is a little clip of the video. Towards the end the baby started moving so the heartbeat wasn't really registering.. But you can still hear it clear as day!

Also like I promised here is another baby "bump" I swear this thing is getting smaller and smaller each week! I guess in the beginning it was more bloating?? I'm not really sure. Some days it looks like a bump and some days its just GONE! Not sure where it goes though haha. But normally towards the end of the day it likes to poke out more than in the mornings. So this was me at 14 weeks. I am now currently 14 weeks and 3 days pregnant and not much has changed.

That's really it for now. I will update again soon. My next OB appointment is on the 28th but they wont do a sonogram at that appointment so I wont have any baby photo's for yall BUT who knows I may actually have a pretty decent bump at that time :)
