Today's Appt

Tiff and I went to the appt this afternoon. They are pleased with the fact that I quit losing weight. (not that I should gain) We heard the baby's heartbeat briefly but he was spinning around in there like crazy and the doc couldn't keep him/her on the doppler long enough to give us a rate. She said the pain I am having in my side is likely round ligament pain from things stretching and not to worry about it. We set the date for the big ultrasound for December 18th. We are thinking about having the doc write whether it is a boy or a girl on a piece of paper and putting it in an envelope so that we can open it Christmas morning. I don't know if we can last that long though. Overall it looks like things are good. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving tomorrow!!!

Appt. this afternoon

In about 5 hours I have an appt. Hopefully I will get to hear the peanut again. I am nervous for some reason. I think because I have had some pains in my side, although everything I have read says that it is normal and that unless it is accompanied by bleeding it should be fine. I will update you all later as to what we find out. Jesse is skipping this one so Tiff is going with me, then we are going to get smoothies afterwards. There is this really nice smoothie place around the corner from the OB office. Really I am writing this because I am bored out of my mind at school today. Many kids are absent for T-day tomorrow so things have been pretty calm, except for a fire drill this morning. I hope you are all well!

I bid you welcome!

I thought it might be a good idea to try to keep you all updated on all things babyhodge. Jesse and I both have a ton of family who are unable to be physically with us through this journey and I wanted to be able to share our experiences and pictures with you as they happen (or maybe a little later as I get busy). We are now 4 months pregnant, although most days I don't feel pregnant at all. I am finally starting to show which is exciting, although I can't wait until people can see that I am pregnant and not assume that I am just getting fatter, lol. We have another appt. coming up next week the day before Thanksgiving and hopefully we will sent the big ultrasound appt. then. (That's when we get to find out what we are having.) I hope everyone is well and I promise to try and post on here as often as I can. I am including the only 2 pregnancy pics we have so far, our first ultrasound pic from 7 weeks and a pic of my belly from just the other day. We love you all!
