Boy or Girl Poll!

Hello Everyone:

Mich and I are counting down the days til our big ultra sound, March 4th. We have the possibility of finding out the infamous question…

”What are we going to have?”

We thought it would be cute to have poll to see what everyone thinks we are going to have or wants. So, everyone gets a vote (yes, even kids!...parents NO telling them what to vote!) Just email Lisa back with who and their vote. (ie. Mich votes BOY.)

We will tally the votes on Tuesday night and email out the results. And hopefully on Wednesday morning we will be able to share the real results.
(if the baby allows us to see).

Okay, to help decide on your vote, I included some information.
Here is most recent photo of me. (taken 2/25.. 18weeks)

I was one of the few lucky women who did not experience morning sickness (knocking on lots of wood). I LOVE for Orange Juice. Although, my cravings have not been horrible … but I love anything SWEET…meaning fruit, Jell-O, cookies, cake, donuts. These have been a constant craving since the Christmas. Things added lately are chocolate milk and apple juice. I do not have much a appetite for meats (I know…I did not have one before but it is more yucky now). So what will your vote be!?!

Girl Boy

My grandmother just pasted away!

I just got a phone call from dad saying that my grandmother was doing good. She went to the hospital on Friday with Pneumonia. Then a few minutes later my dad called and told she was being taken to ICU.

And just now..my mom called to tell me my grandmother has pasted away.

What a shock!!!!

19 Weeks

<----19 weeks and I look just fat! No pregnant! We are almost halfway! I can not believe how time is flying! We are getting so excited about the baby! I am really showing.

We are trying to keep everything under wraps. We will be driving to SC for my grandmother funeral this weekend.

This week is our big week! I am looking forward to tomorrow morning!

18 Weeks

Moving along....I am feeling the baby more and more. But flutters are no longer sweet! The baby is demanding! I have done nothing but eat this week!!!!

Not sure if "it's" bones are getting stronger from all the milk or maybe the OJ I have been drinking since DAY 1. We go through so much OJ it is unreal.

We are so ready for next week! I really hope our baby cooperates and lets us see the gender.

We are sending out a family poll to complete over the weekend. Mich is saying BOY. I am still debating...but I am 60% sure of boy. We will post the pol results on Tuesday and the real one on Wednesday. Along with wanting to find the gender out...I am ready for Mich to feel the baby

17 weeks

<---Here we are at week 17. Still the bump is barely there. But none of my regular pants are fitting. This week has been a little slow. Although, I am feeling our baby more each day. Today he/she has been very active. Must be the spaghetti that I ate for lunch. It is a incrdible feeling to something move inside...you have no control over it.

I am moving slowly into my maternity clothes ove the past two weeks. I am wearing the pants full-time and tops...well, my normal tops are starting to show "lift" in the front. Give it two more weeks to grow, until next week.

16 weeks

<----So this is me at 16 weeks! Finally started to get a very little bump. However, I am still looking "chubby". It is a little exciting but makes nervous. It seems like time is flying but yet going so slow.

We are getting more and more excited about the big u/s. March 4th could not come any faster. I know I am impatient. But I feel like it is taking an eternity to get here.

I felt a few flutters yesterday. It was the neatest feeling the whole world. Not gas...

We are finalizing our baby furniture order. We are ordering it all soon. I am so EXCITED!!!!

15 Weeks

The Dr. Appointment today went well. I have gained 2 lbs thus far. I am measuring right on track for 15 weeks and the baby's heart beat was 146. Little tidbit...the baby was very active, so my Dr. had to keep moving to find it. Rather funny. But it is always so nice to hear it. We have set our big u/s day for March 4th at 8:30am. I can not wait. I am busting at the seams to find out.

We are going to start taking weekly photos next week. I should start to show at some point or something more than I am now...

11 Weeks - Dr Appt

Here we are at week 11. WOW. We had our 2nd baby appt yesterday. We got to hear the baby through the doppler. That was amazing. I was so nervous then it was music to our ears. Beating strong at 156.

Happy New Year!

It is 2009. Wow, we are going to have a baby this year! I am so excited!
