It's a......

So we had our Dr appointment on Thursday, and it didn't go all that great. There was no one in the waiting room, but we still waited for 10 or 15 minutes before they called us in. Then we waited for awhile in the room. Well, we did the ultra sound and the baby would not cooperate! We couldn't really see anything, all the Dr could find was the cord. So, based on that, he said he was going to give us a 60% chance that the baby was a girl, but don't paint the nursery pink yet. So, me, being the person that I am, was not satisfied with that answer. I had a friend go to a place in town called Pre-natal Treasures where they do 2D and 3D ultrasounds, and she found out what she was having before the Dr has given her the ultrasound. So I called them and they got me in on Friday. It was a completely different experience! The baby was very active, moving all over the place! And we found out that we are having a GIRL! It was pretty cool to see her kick and move, and I also saw her open her mouth a few times. It was a little difficult to find out she was a girl at first because she kept moving so much that she was hiding herself. The lady that does the ultrasound gave me a bunch of prints from it, and then a CD that had all the pictures that she took of it. It's pretty cool!






I love this picture of her foot! I think it's the cutest thing!

A few more days...

In just a few more days, we will be able to find out what we are having. I'm just hoping he/she doesn't become shy during the Dr's visit. I think Josh is becoming more excited now. He actually remembers that the Dr's appointment is on Thursday! I usually have to remind him a few times before, but I don't think I will need to this time.

There are only about 15 more school days this year! I cannot believe how fast time has flown! My first year teaching is almost over. It's kind of hard to say goodbye to these kids. They are a great bunch of kids, and I have really enjoyed teaching them.

Updates

I had my check up on Friday afternoon. This time, they got me right in! I don't think we even waited 5 minutes, unlike last time or them forgetting about me! We got to hear the baby's heartbeat again, and this time it was easier to find. Last month, the dr had to push harder, and it hurt a little. This time, it was like he touched my belly and we heard it. We have 4 more weeks and we get to find out what we are having! I'm pretty excited. The receptionist tried to set me up for 5 weeks and I'm not waiting longer than I have to, so I asked to go in sooner. Apparently she didn't realize how far along I was because she tried to argue that the Dr likes us to be 20 weeks before he does the ultrasound. I nicely explained to her that I would be 20 weeks on May 3rd, and I didn't really want to wait until May 12th to find out. So the earliest I could get in was May 7th because the other days were all morning appointments and I work so I couldn't do those days. Josh insists we are having a boy. In the beginning, I thought I was having a girl, but then I started thinking that maybe I am having a boy. I honestly don't know for sure, though. I haven't had dreams about it like so many of my friends have had. Josh has started referring to the extra bedroom as the baby's room. I haven't gotten that far yet, because it's still technically a storage room. Hopefully when school gets out in about 6 more weeks, I can then turn it into a baby room. I have no idea how I want to decorate it, though. Any ideas? :)

Feeling Impatient & Contemplating Going Private

So I am feeling very impatient lately. I just want to find out what we are having so I can plan accordingly. Josh asked about how we would decorate the baby's room, and I have no idea how to do it until I know what we are having. I have a Dr appointment tomorrow (just a checkup) and then hopefully the next appointment we can find out. The Dr said that we would do the ultrasound at 20 weeks. I'm tempted to see if he would let us come in again in 3 weeks, when I am 19 1/2 weeks, instead of at 20 weeks to find out. We'll see, I guess.

So, I keep thinking that I may need to go private. Honestly, I don't know if there are people that I have no clue who they are who follow our blog, but in a way, that kind of worries me. I wish that there wasn't a need to go private, but the more I think about it, the more I think I just might need to do it. So, if anyone has any suggestions, or would like to help me come to a complete decision, I'm ready for them!

Sorry there are no pictures. Don't really have any to show at the moment. I haven't taken many pictures in awhile. :)

Vegas!!

So last weekend we went with a couple of our friends to Vegas for a night. It was a lot of fun! We got there Saturday and spent most of the day hanging out and checking things out. We stayed at Excalibur. Can I just say we LOVE the Excalibur! We stayed there before, and at that time they upgraded us to a better room. Well, this time, they upgraded us to a suite! It was awesome! It was 2 rooms. The first room had a tv and a sitting area and a table and fridge and stuff. Then you go into the next room and there was the bedroom and a jetted tub and shower, etc. There were actually 2 bathrooms in the suite! I don't think I have ever stayed in such a cool room. Needless to say, we will probably stay at Excalibur again. :)

While we were in Vegas, Josh and I went to see the Tournament of Kings dinner and show. It was my 2nd time seeing it, and Josh's third, and I can honestly say that I don't remember all that was done. I don't know if I just forgot or if they added things to it. It was kind of funny because we were in Ireland, and last time we saw it we were also in Ireland. Josh said he is always in Ireland. The guy that played our king last time was the king for Russia this time.

All in all, we had a great time and we hope our friends did, too! And we hope that they will want to go again sometime. :)
So, I'm a dork, and I took pictures of the room HAHA Anyway, this is the little sitting area that we had in the first room of the suite.

This is us being dorks after the show.

Josh posing while we were waiting for our friends.
The only picture Josh took of me :)Of course I look like a dork!



We bought these glasses in Vegas, and they broke on the way home!

Pirate Island Pizza

So we went to Pirate Island Pizza with my parents. Josh likes to go there because they have a fun arcade and you can get prizes. He wants to save up and get the Wii they have there. We ordered the Kraken pizza, and that thing is HUGE!!!

Oops!

How many tests does it take? Well, for me, technically, 4. After being told for years that I would have a really hard time getting pregnant, if I got pregnant at all, I couldn't believe that a test would come up positive. Especially since we didn't have any help from dr's to become pregnant. I took 3 tests at home and then went into the Dr.'s office to take another one where they confirmed it.

We had a little scare a few days after we found out. I thought I was having a miscarriage so I got into the Dr. and he checked me out and told me it looked ok but they were a little concerned so I should take a couple of days off work. It was hard not to go to work those days, but it was also nice to have a break. I did pretty much nothing! I laid around a lot and slept. We went back to the Dr. and he said everything looks good. We are excited to have this baby! It's a complete surprise but a great blessing, too. Now I just have to change plans of making our extra bedroom into my craft room and now make it into a nursery!
