I had my first appointment November 11th! I was 9 weeks exactly!
Here's the cute pics we got of baby #5!
At the ultrasound appt I met the newest midwife in training...I forget her name....but my regular midwife Rachel was there too and they were letting the new one practice doing ultrasounds so she was doing it but couldn't find the baby and all they were seeing was uterus. Meanwhile I was silently freaking out in my mind...that was fun....then finally Rachel took over and found baby right away! PHEW! then Rachel told me that baby has a blood pocket around them! Resume FREAK OUT! but she quickly calmed my nerves and told me that it's just a random abberation that sometimes happens at implantation and that my body will either get rid of the blood just by bleeding or it will just reabsorb it! So far no blood so I'm assuming it's being reabsorbed! Baby 5 looked great though and the heartbeat was nice and strong!
I've been nauseous on and off this pregnancy which has now gone away unless I'm hungry. And I have been sooooo exhausted this pregnancy it's been ridiculous! I just can't get enough sleep! Hopefully when the 2nd trimester is in full swing I'll be feeling more energetic!
12/14/15 13 weeks and 5 days!
I had my second appointment on Dec 9th and got to hear that beautiful heartbeat! :)
This time around we have decided not to find out the gender!!! I'm so excited but that ultrasound day is going to be really hard at the same time! But Lee and I both want to atleast try it out once, not finding out the gender, and I'm super excited and determined!
I'm going to save up money throughout this pregnancy and just go on a baby shopping spree once baby arrives! In the meantime I'll buy one boy and one girl coming home outfit complete with a blanket and binkys but that's it! Baby will be in our room in the bassinet we have anyways for the first couple months so we'll have time after baby arrives to figure out where baby will sleep when he or she is bigger...and who knows maybe we'll even be lucky enough to have found a bigger house by then too!
This was our Facebook Announcement that I posted the day after our 2nd appointment....
besides our Christmas card picture this is the only other picture that really turned out! No one wanted to cooperate but I'm glad we at least got one Christmas picture and this announcement picture :)
here's some individual shots we got of the kids minus drake who was just running around like always haha lol not the greatest but whatever....
Lee and I got a couple good pictures together which was nice cuz that never seems to happen! We always forget cuz the focus is usually the kids! so it's nice to have some of the two of us.
Tuesday the 8th was our ward Christmas party and the kids got to meet Santa!
That was as close as Maylee was getting.....She grabbed the candy cane and ran back to me lol
Drake was just fine on Santa's lap but was mostly just there to get the candy and then he wanted down! He didn't want to talk to Santa lol
Zeke was the first to get up and go sit on Santa's lap and he asked Santa for a blue airplane and paint! :)
Landon was a little shy and nervous to go up and talk to Santa but he was excited at the same time and he asked for a Skateboard.
Cracks me up that my kids were asking for things they hadn't told me about. Hopefully they're not disappointed cuz my shopping is already done! lol
Well gotta go try to clean house before I need to start dinner! Yay for an update from me! You're Welcome! hahahaha
