More Baby Updates

So, I went to the specialist again for a check up just to make sure his heart is still doing well. And I am proud to announce, that he is going to be just fine! He looks healthy and strong and his heart is doing just fine as well. It is not getting any bigger, which the doctors were afraid of. On top of that, we got a 3D picture of him and he is finally looking like a baby, rather than a skinny little skeleton.

Isn't he adorable? He's got such a cute little nose! He is very camera shy if you ask me. Every time the doctor tried to get a picture of him in this 3D form, he would always hide his face, its like he knows. Last time he covered his entire face with both of his little arms, this time he only covered his eyes with one hand. Hopefully, next time we will get a full on face photo.

Our New Place

Well, it is official! We have moved into our new apartment, and we love it so far. Granted, since it is an apartment there is always something that happens that always makes us wonder why we would go back to living apartments (other than the fact we can in no way afford a home lol). Our place is still a wreck since all of our stuff is still everywhere and needs to find a spot in our apartment. I am excited to start on our nursery, I think it will be lots of fun! We are going with a jungle theme and the color green! I think it is going to turn out really cute!

Once we get the place in order, I will be posting pictures so look for updates on our new apartment.

Little Easton Updates

Sorry it has taken so long for me to post any updates. Having absolutely no internet really limits my ability to post much.

However, we went to the Specialist and Easton is looking good as far as everything anatomy wise. As for his heart, he is in the "Acceptable" range. Its a little bit bigger than where they are wanting it to be. As far as chest cavity to heart ratio, he is running at about .52 and they would like to see it about .5 and under to about .47 maybe. If he gets over .55 then that is when things could get really scary. They scheduled me to come in again in about 3-4 weeks so they can check again just to make sure. So PLEASE continue with the prayers, until we know absolutely sure. Hopefully things don't start going down from here.

I will keep everyone posted as must as I can.

Thanks for the prayers!

Pregnancy Updates and Prayers for my Baby

So, pregnancy updates. Don't we just love them :)

I am finally starting to show and actually look like I am pregnant. At this point I am really starting to feel it. I am not nearly as agile as I usually am. I struggle a little bit to get into a sitting position from laying down. I can't lift my leg up to shave them nearly as easily. I think I am getting heart burn, but I have no idea cause I have never had heart burn before. I can physically feel my stomach starting to stretch (so if anyone knows of good anti-stretch cream or awesome lotion let me know). As of now, I have only gained about 8 pounds. I have had no cravings whatsoever, so no pickles and ice cream for me. I think I am starting to get more emotional, at least according to Jared. I am much more impatient and I worry about everything but I think I have always been like that.

Well, I went to the OBGYN on Wednesday for my monthly appointment. And we are still expecting a boy. In fact, our little Easton had absolutely no problem showing his little man parts to us on the sonogram. In fact, when the nurse was just doing a quick scan of our baby, lets just say that we had absolutely no problem spotting it. I am so excited to be having a boy, for as long as I can remember I have always wanted to have a little boy first.

So for this sonogram, they did an anatomy exam mostly, making sure that everything is looking good. He is currently 1 pound and 10 1/2 inches long, and he is currently head down. He has fluid is him stomach (which means that he has been swallowing) there is also fluid in his bladder (which means that his kidneys are working). We also saw 2 kidneys, and his heart. His bones looked nice and strong (I have been drinking tons of milk, so hopefully that is playing a big role.) Most everything, was looking good, and I am so happy.

However, here comes the scary part. Our sonogram nurse has some concern about our little Easton's heart. Though he has a strong heart, and 4 chambers working (we could actually see the heart valves), and a BPM of 153, the nurse is a little worried that his heart is a little bit larger than it probably should be. So on Monday at 2 pm, we are being sent to a specialist to have it checked out. So, I am asking for your prayers for us during this very scary, and nerve racking time for us, that everything will be ok. I am hoping that it will be nothing and that our little Easton will be a beautiful and healthy baby boy when he enters this world. But I do ask for your prayers.

I am very excited to be on this journey of becoming a mom for a special spirit of our Heavenly Father. As scary as it is sometimes, I wouldn't trade if for the world.

Pregnancy Pictures

Ok, so I have been getting complaints that I haven't been posting any pictures of my pregnancy. So I have finally put some up. I look totally fat in this pictures, I know, but I don't look that pregnant. I have only gained about 8 pounds but I look like I have gained a lot more. But anyways, pregnancy have been good to me. I have started to feel him kick, and let me say it is the weirdest feeling in the world in my opinion. You have no control over it so your not expecting it at all and then you get kicked, like I said its a weird feeling. It started out by feeling just like a pulse in your abdomen, then as the weeks go by they get stronger and more frequent. People at church are now starting to come up to me just to rub my tummy, even though I am not showing that much. Its kinda weird having people come up and rub your belly like Buddha. I go in for another sonogram May 18th where they will confirm the gender. I found out really early so I am hoping its still a boy.

Please don't laugh at my pictures, I don't look really good in any of them (either my hair was wet, my hair air dried, crazy faces and no makeup).
