Blessings!!!

Hubby and I are feeling very blessed in life right now!!!  We are going to be parents to another little girl and we couldn't be more thrilled!  We have been getting good news in the house hunt.  We put in an offer on a 5 bedroom 3 bath house!  We are now in the process of waiting... the house in no longer listed on the real estate website good news for us!!!

Tomorrow we go for our 20 week ultrasound with the Perinatologist  tomorrow.  My anxiety levels go up the night before doctors appointments.  I'm afraid I have to admit that we won't be able to hear the heartbeat of our little baby.  It is not until I hear the beating of the strong little heart that I'm comforted.  I guess the worrying has already begun for our little girl.  We are excited to be able to go see our little girl tomorrow and watch her as she wiggles and moves in my body.  I have also been feeling the little kicks of our little girl and her wiggling.  I love when I feel the little pop of a kick its a big comfort.

 My mom was diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago and has been curing it the natural way.  All of her children are amazed at the strength she has.  My mom has been doing amazing things with the help of nature.  We have watched tumors come and than shrink.  I'm pretty sure it is my moms strength and her faith that makes the tumors just want to disappear.  Well last week my sister went to the Oncologist with her.  It was a new Oncologist that my mom hasn't been to before.  My mom explained that she is curing it the natural way with no chemo and radiation.  The Oncologist explained that the chemo my mom would have for her cancer is different.  There is an antibiotic type drug that they use along with chemo and can be used without the chemo.  Basically the antibiotic type drug attaches to the cancer cells to get rid of them.  My mom has agreed to do the treatments without the chemo and if she needs to have chemo when all the treatments are done she will consider it.  We are feeling so blessed to have this doctor come into my moms life and tell her that he can help and not just give up on her because she wants to treat it naturally.  My mom definitely has guardian angels watching over her and will be with her to comfort her tomorrow as she goes in for her first treatment.  I am asking that your prayers will be with her as she takes on this new step in treatment.

IT'S A .....

Hubby and I we were going to wait for the 20 week ultrasound.  We thought our doctor would have had it earlier than the 26 of October.  Hubby asked if we could go up to the fetal studio on Friday to find out.  I mean we are a little curious about what we are having.  I said yes!  I dropped Hubby off at school went home and got on the website for the Fetal Studio.  There was a coupon for gender determination but it had to be used on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or a Thursday.  Hubby is really busy with school on Thursday.  I called Hubby 2 minutes before his last class to ask him if we could go after school and explained the coupon.  Hubby said yes!  So I called Fetal Studio to set up the appointment.  We went up to mall in Sandy we had an hour to use before our appointment.  I was hungry so we ate and while I was eating I hoped that the baby wouldn't fall asleep.  While we were eating I asked Hubby what we thought we were going to have he said Boy I said Girl.  We walked around the Hallmark store saw cute socks for little baby boys and girls.  6:00 came we went to the studio I had to fill out a sheet.  Than before I knew it I was on a bed looking at a T.V. and saw the first images of our little baby.  I started to cry our baby is really in my belly.  We looked at the baby looked at the face than this baby is kind of tilted.  We than saw our baby start moving all four limbs at once it was intense my baby is already trying to break free.  Than I heard him say "you got what you wished for a little girl" I was in shock I had him repeat it.  This time he said "yep little girl, no boy thing."  We watched as our little girl opened and closed her mouth, kicked her legs, and moved her arms.  She was moving like crazy and we were having a hard time counting all her fingers and toes she has them all.  We are so happy to be having another little girl.

Our little "Turnip"

I have been starting to get my energy back slowly...  I still have some days where morning sickness likes to come out and hang out with me.  I can't believe that we are 17 weeks along.  It just seems like time is going by so fast and at the same time not fast enough.  We are going to the doctors next Wednesday and hopefully we will be able to set up the 20 week ultrasound for the next week that would be super nice.  Hubby and I are both curious to know what we will be having a little girl or a little boy.  But most of all we just want a healthy baby and that is all we really are hoping for.

My "mini" Breakdown

I had the breakdown of having to go buy some new maternity pants.  On Friday Hubby and I were getting ready to go cheer on the BYU Cougars Football team.  I was getting ready and I was about to button my pants up when I realized there was no hope in the button reaching across my tummy to the button loop.  It had only been a week since I last worn these jeans and they were fitting me okay with the elastic band wrapped around a week ago.  But on Friday there was no chance of the rubber band even helping me.  Well it probably could of worked but my emotions were not letting me think clearly.  I went over to my hubby and asked if we could go shopping for a pair of maternity jeans because there was no way I could sit on the bleachers for 3+ hours worrying about keeping my pants up.  I was so happy when I found a pair of pants in petite and the size I needed and that was the only pair they had and they fit perfectly.  So after shopping, having dinner out with the hubs, bowling before the football game, and than the game and winning the game.  We had a wonderful date night after my "mini" breakdown.  I asked hubby while we were eating how bad my breakdown was and he said "it wasn't that bad." so that is why this is just a mini breakdown.  I guess I will have the bigger breakdown when my shirts stop fitting me correctly.
