So we went Wednesday for the ultrasound!! First shot of the day landed right on her butt. She sure wanted us to know what she was! We got a good look at her spine, legs, arm, feet, and hands. it was great seeing her. She is tall, just like her daddy!! They couldnt get a good look at her heart, as they had hoped - so we go back in 6 weeks for another ultrasound (Yay!!) We just knew it was a girl because she wouldnt cooperate with the nurse trying to take her picture. She is a stubborn baby just like her mom =)
Thursday we went to the doctors. I made the appointment specifically knowing Annette (Lauras mom) would be my nurse. Well baby wouldnt cooperate for her either. LoL she hid from the doppler trying to get her heartbeat. Than once Annette would find it, baby would move. Annette said shes already like me and than apologized to Josh for his tough life to come LoL! Dr Fahey apologized for being mean on my first visit. She informed me I was not immune to Chicken poxs, and to be careful of people with rashes, considering my immune system is low and may not fight it off. We discussed my option of a c-section, and DrFahey did say she wouldnt mind inducing me early if it would be easier. She just doesnt want me being stuck with such a scar from a c-section. other than that I am doing great... 7 pounds total gained in 5 months so I am doing well there too.
Today, Saturday, mom brought over a box of stuff from my brother. It was a whole bunch of Nathans newborn stuff. We have a tub, a bumbo, some bottles and a whole crapload of clothes. Since Nathan was born in August as well, all of his holiday clothes will fit baby just right...so were set for halloween, thanksgiving anf christmas! Mom and I then went shopping after church, and I got a whole bunch of girly pooh outfits. My favorite though, is a purple jumper that says "I love my daddy"... Josh loves it!
So now were preparing for this baby...and working on names. We had originally thought Madelyn, but im not to sure now. We thought of layla and leilani (which is hawaiian for a blessing). Were working on it, and I honestly feel I will know it the second I see her.
So thats that. I will update again soon.

Look out, we got a puke-er
Hello,
its been quite a while since Ive updated. Im sorry Im such a terrible blogger. I guess I can say alot has happened in the month.
Baby wise, Ive finally gone to the doctor. it was a horrible experience!!!!! I didnt get my ultrasound as I had hoped for. I got in and was picked and prodded at for an hour. I was lucky enough to hear the heartbeat. That was a fantastic feeling. But after that it just went down hill. We first discussed why I had not gone to the doctor in the 16 weeks I have been pregnant. Next it was about my medical history, weight, and other problems that concluded me as a high risk paitent. That scared the shit out of me. So her being cocky and telling me I was "so lucky" to be coming to see her was not the comments I wanted to hear. Finally it was time for the exam. Which just meant a pap smear. But first - was the start of the gluecose test to check if I am diabetic. That was THE WORST experience in the world. The drink was nasty and for an hour(or more) I felt like I had sugar pulsing through my veins. During the exam we discussed my sore on my chest which was either staph or (worse) mrsa. Luckily it wasnt mrsa, because since being on antibiotics it has cleared up tremendiously! So I was talked down to a little, heard bad news, scared shitless, and never got my ultrasound - that was my doctors appointment.
Now normally I would say fuck this - but its a doctor that comes highly recommended. Plus she is the employer of Annette ( the baby's godmother's mom) so I trust Annette and Laura to send me to a good doctor. I go back in about 3 weeks for that ultrasound to find out whats going on internally and Hopefully, to find out the sex!
In life, well thats been crazy. Court is scheduled for today in regards to the car. I have been fighting tooth and nail with Jane (who is going for me) to just settle the damn matter. I want it over and done with. Then, I have a deposition to give tomorrow for a Slip and Fall case that happened at work. Ive been working part time because Im always tired, and have terrible morning sickness since starting my second trimester. Other than that - life is ok.
Been working to help pay the bills. Weve finally got a nice chunk of savings (because its purely our tax return) and were surviving without a car. Its been a hard adjustment, but people have been amazingly helpful.
So im off, and I promise to update more often =)
