The verdict is in............

Well we had our doctor appt today. Baby is doing well and we are almost 20 weeks. Everything is measuring like it should be at this point. Baby is moving around like crazy....even punching and kicking at the ultrasound tech! My cervical length is really good, which is definitely one less thing to worry about. I will get to have another ultrasound in 2 weeks, they want to get better pictures of the heart and then again in 4 weeks so they can check my cervix again(placenta is really close to cervix). But baby is healthy and we are so excited. And finally for the big news..................................................
It is a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are so blessed to be pregnant with a baby girl. Craig is so excited, but he thinks girls are low maintenance, man is he in for a HUGE suprise. I will try to get the ultrasound pics scanned soon and post them!

Peanut has a new chair

Well, I thought you guys might like to see Peanuts new chair. I bought a Papasan Chair from DeAnna and well I never get to enjoy it! Every time I sit in it, Peanut jumps up on the window ledge and bites me! Guess she thinks she is in charge!

2 more weeks!

And we get to find out the babys gender! I can't wait. I had a checkup today and everything is going really well. My cervix is still thick and there is no pressure on the stitch. Baby has lots of fluid to move around in and all looks well.

A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear A rather strange idea, I see everything from here. I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven. She is still a mother too,no matter where I reside I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she's cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so. She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too, Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do? My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight. She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth She needs to be honored, and remembered too Just as the children of earth will do.

Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you'll do your best I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest. Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

You would have to see it to believe it

Craig has been cleaning the house every week. Amazing, I know. Here is the kicker though... he is cooking too!!!! I am teaching him well and he is finally catching on. He has made some pretty good stuff lately... thank God because I could have never lived on brats! I am so proud of him and so happy that he has taken on these responsabilities.

15 weeks and moving along!

I guess I am a little behind. I had a checkup on April 18 and all was well. Little ones heartbeat is strong and moving around like crazy! I can't wait until I can feel the movements.

I was back to the doctor on May 2nd for my next checkup. Things still look really good. Cerclage is holding up well, she didn't feel any pressure on it and she said my cervix feels thick. Heart rate was in 140s and baby was moving around like crazy yet again!!!!!

I go back in 2 weeks for a check up and then on May 29th we get our big ultrasound so we will be finding out if baby is a girl or a boy! I swear I am going to get my ultrasound pics scanned so I can post them.
