22 weeks!!!!

Some exciting things have happened since our last post. We ordered the crib and changing table and they arrived last weekend. We were so excited that we put them together that night! Now we just need to find some bedding. If anyone knows of a place with cute Ladybug stuff that doesn't have too much black let us know.

We also had a doctors appointment. I dropped two pounds but the doctor was not worried. He says the weight will come and to make sure I drink lots fluids so I don' t swell too bad. The baby's heartbeat was a strong 160 bpm. She even kicked on command. Kenny loves saying "Abbie's gonna kick," and most of the time she does. It is so cute! We are getting more excited everyday. We are getting our big ultra sound on the 17th so we will report on how that goes.

Half way there!!!!

We have hit our half way point. 20 weeks down and only 20 to go. We are getting more excited every day. We found a crib we loved but found out it would no longer be available. Ever since I have been on a qwest to find another one I liked. Well, my qwest was not going so well. I decided to look up the crib I had fallen in love with once more, and by some miracle I found it. We ordered it right away, the matching changing table also. It's a good thing we did because it is all sold out again.

We go to the Doctor again a week from tommorrow. We are excited to hear the baby's heartbeat. Kenny is starting to feel the baby move and loves to listen to her move in my belly. He loves singing and talking to her. He will be an amazing daddy.

Baby news and Easter!!!!!

So to start off we are pretty late on putting up our Easter Pics, so here goes. Over Easter weekend we went to Vernal to go see Kenny's mom and her husband, we got there on Saturday and went over to Aunt Chris' house to have dinner and hang with the family. It was a blast we got to see Mom and Chris hula-hoop. Kenny missed out but I will vouch they were pretty good and it was pretty funny.

Then, on Sunday, we went to church then had a picnic. While on the picnic we did a little shooting. Kenny was awesome, me not so much. We had a good time and didn't do to bad with the hand gun.

Last Monday we had another trip to the doctor. Everything still looks great although I lost a little more weight. And for the exciting news we had an ultrasound! The doctor says it looks like a little girl. She was not shy at all, legs spread wide, for all to see. So the doctor got a pretty good look.

Here are some pics from Easter!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I just thought I would sit down and write Happy Birthday to my Mom, and thank her for all that she did for me and still does. Sounds odd but it makes me feel better so that is all that matters. My mom was the greatest person and she still is, I feel her helping me everyday and i know she is watching over me. Being pregnant my emotions have been all over the place and my mom always comes to the center of my thoughts. I wonder how I am going to raise a child with her not being by my side but I know I will be fine and she will find a way to help me, she already has. And I am going to have one lucky kid having a grandma and a grandpa in heaven to help teach them and prepare them for this crazy world and its crazy family what more could I ask for, it is not going to want to leave. My mom was the greatest person I know, she was always willing to help anyone in need, she would go out of her way to help us kids and her school kids she always put us first and I am so thankful for all that she did for me. I just hope that I can be half as good of a mom as you were to me. I will never forget all that you did for me I may have gotten angry at times but I never questioned my love for you and I know you never questioned your love for me ( even if I did think I was adopted). I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!
Thanks for all you did for me and all you still do. Don't forget" You are in my past you are in my present and will for shizzle be in my future. Peach Out!!!!! "
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
One year older but not a day older looking (i am sure you look perfect no fair). Lucky you !!!
LOVE YOU,
Laura Lou

Baby's Heart Beat

Yesterday we went to the Doctors again, and we were able to hear the babies heartbeat again. It was so neat to be able to hear it and know that this is for real. At our first appointment the heartbeat was pretty slow 135 bpm, a typical boy heartbeat, and at the appointment yesterday he said that it was pretty fast, more like a girl. So, a boy or a girl, that is the question. The doctor is hopeful that he will be able to tell at our next appointment. No matter what he says we won't be convinced until about twenty weeks. Too many people we know have had their doctor be wrong lately.

Baby is Growing

Recently we found out the baby is now the size of a kumquat and now we ask, what is a kumquat? We were told it is the size of a lime, which sounds about right. But now we wonder, why don't they just say it is the size of a lime?

We are getting excited for its first movements and can't wait until it gets bigger. We also can't wait to find out what it is. We will be excited either way but can't wait to start buying things.

Maybe Not!!!!

So I think I have finally gotten over that nasty cold, and now I am starting to think maybe I wont get to sick knock on wood. I am thinking that the coughing was the thing causing me to not feel so well. Don't get me wrong certain foods still make me sick to my stomach but I can honestly say it has not been bad at all so as long as I don't get a cold again hopefully I will do okay. I am starting to realize what foods I can and can't eat it has been rough trial and error I guess you could say. But one thing I can say I love for now at least is broccoli cheese soup from Jason's Deli, best soup ever and a funny thing my mom was eating broccoli soup when she went into labor with my brother I thought it was kinda cool.
