Nursery Pics

So we are almost done with the nursery...these pics were taken before we put up a wall border between the brown and pink on the walls. Let me just rant for a bit....wall borders are a pain in the arse! We thought it would be easy, but it was way harder than we thought it would be! It turned out ok though, a little unlevel in some spots and started peeling off a bit, but I can fix the peeling parts and I am sure the baby won't notice that it's not level! Ok, end rant!

All that is left to do is to hang a couple of pictures and a mirror and then we are ready for her!

It's A Girl!!!!

Haven't updated in a while because we've been moving (house finally closed on 7/8/09), but IT's A GIRL!!!!

We are very excited to meet our sweet little girl! Her name will probably be Kaylee Alexandra or Kaylee Breanna. :)

Closing Escrow Soon

We're not exactly sure when but should be closed by July 3rd, so we will probably be moving on the 4th of July. Good way to celebrate our "Independence" from renting!! Can't wait to get started on the baby's room! Mama's already got some things in mind.....

Bedding for a girl:

Bedding for a boy:

1 More Week....

Till we find out if this baby is a boy or a girl! We are so excited! Whatever it is, it has strong legs and sure likes kicking mommy, but I don't mind. :)

It's Been Awhile...

So it's been awhile since I blogged. I am 11 weeks, 4 days today and everything is going great so far! I went for an NT Scan today and we got to see the little babe jumping around on the screen. And we saw the heartbeat at a very strong 168 betas per minute. It was awesome!

More HCG Levels and an Ultrasound

So I had more blood drawn on Monday to test my HCG levels to make sure they are doubling every 24-48 hours. I was just about to call the doctor on Tuesday morning to get the results, when they called me. The nurse said the doctor is concerned because my levels are actually a little on the high side. Could be lots of reasons why they would be high, some good, some bad. They had me come in for an ultrasound just to check everything out.

They cannot see the baby yet (which is pretty common at this point as it is barely a quarter of an inch long). But they said the placenta is forming as it should and everything looks good. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't see the baby or a heartbeat, but they are having me come back in 3 weeks for another ultrasound. By then, we should be able to see a little baby and a heartbeat! I cannot wait till April 1st!!!

Second HCG Levels & Dr. Appt

I had blood work done on 3/3 and just got the results yesterday. My HCG was 3000!! My levels are doubling every 27 hours. The doc said it's looking good but he wants me to do more blood work on March 10th.

I also had an ultrasound and we could see the gestational sac, but couldn't really see the baby yet which is pretty normal. we should be able to see the little tadpole's heatbeat at my ultrasound on 3/17. Can't wait!!!
