12 WEEKS!!!!!

So we had another appointment yesterday we got another ultrasound and met a new doctor. I personally did not like her. I asked her how she did with natural birth and said said she views natural birth as both c-section and vaginal birth.

So to be more clear for her i said i mean natural as in no pain meds and vaginal. She then told me that if i swear or spit at them then the pain would be to much and i WOULD HAVE to have pain med.

First off i will not be spitting at her so im not worried about that but i cant say that i wont swear i might cause it might hurt really bad. If she dont like it she should find a new job! i will not be getting pain meds and im sorry but they can not force me to do crap!

I also asked her how she felt about waiting till the for the cord to stop pulsating? she said they normally wait a min and then cut it. I then told her that we wanted to wait till it was done pulsating before it be cut cause we want the baby to have all the babies blood back in its body instead of still in the placenta.  She then said that she would still cut it only after a min cause she didnt want to wait. i find that to be unacceptable. I can understand that if the cord is around the babies neck or some other thing where it would hurt the baby or mother that it must be cut then but just cause your to lazy to wait is not a good enough reason for Rob or me.

She said that sometimes it can take up to 45 mins for the placenta to come out and that she dont want to wait the whole time for that to happen and the placenta to come out and then cut the cord. im pretty sure that it doesnt take that long for it to stop pulsating. She then tried to tell me that if i didnt cut the cord right away that the placenta could take to  long coming out and then she would have to to go in with her hand and arm and pull it out. That is so dumb first off even with the baby still attached by the cord your body will still have contractions which will make the placenta come. Im not stupid this is not my first baby i am not falling for her crap!

I then said i would put it in my Birth Plan that thats what i want. She then pretty much told me that what most people say they dont want to happen is what happens like it pisses her off so thats what she does. Fine goo a head and do that but just know ill sue the shit out of you if you force me to have pain meds, pit or any other med that brings on labor that is not natural and if you use instruments on my child that i do not okay and you leave bruising on them you can be sure that i will sue even if it doesnt lead to a settlement of cash it will still leave a mark on your name and career and that will make me more than happy!

 

Here is the new doctor we met.

Dr. Middleton is a graduate of the University of South Carolina Columbia Campus and the Medical University of South Carolina. She completed her residency at Franklin Square Hospital Center in Baltimore, Maryland. She joined Women’s Healthcare Associates and is a Board Eligible Obstetrics and Gynecology physician. Her accomplishments include the 2005 and 2006 William Scott Taylor, M.D. Award for Professionalism and first place award for the Nagey Symposium Research Presentation (Baltimore, MD) 2008. She resides in Jacksonville.

So we also went and had another ultrasound done. She took her time she spent at least an hour with us looking at our baby. She changed my LMP to 11/3 which kinda makes me mad cause i know when i had it but i guess its only a day so its not that bad. She also changed my due date to 8-10-10 which is also a day later. which i dont get why they changed it like that she said it was cause they were going with how big the baby measured with the ultrasound so by my old one that i had done they were changing me to be 12 weeks 2 days but when they did this ultrasound the baby measured to be 12 weeks 5 days so i would think with the logic she was saying that they would have moved my due date up and not back but whatever im still going with im gonna have this baby in July.   so here are lots of baby pics for you to enjoy.

here is the little bean just relaxing maybe thinking about supper or taking a nap it was really cool to watch the baby flip into that position.

in this one you can see the little feet and legs the arrow is pointing to the sex but since we are only 12 weeks and the female parts have not pulled back into the body yet she said that she couldnt get a good enough view to say for sure it wasnt a boy. but she sure did take a good long shot at trying to find out for us.

Here is a profile view for you to enjoy we were so happy when we seen this photo. the baby is sticking out its tongue. and just relaxing.

here she took another shot of its little feet and legs and the gender area. 

this pretty much tells it all with the words on the side but if you cant see what it says it says foot but its both feet. 

Here is another profile for you to look at. You can already tell that its going to be a beautiful baby!!! sorry about the finger prints that showed up when we scanned the pic we didnt notice it till we put it up on here. 

The heart rate was 158 just like before at the last ultrasound.  I thank god have not gained any weight in the first trimester which is almost done so hopefully i will stick with just the normal 30 pounds you are to gain that all goes away when you have the baby.  

I hope you have enjoyed looking at the ultrasound pics and well keep you updated on what the test come back saying in about a week when i talk about how the 13th week is going.

Baby Girl !

Congratulations! Why not have a look at some baby names for Girls or work out your due date

11 weeks!

Today i am 11 weeks and i feel like shit! Today is also the 17th which means its one month till i get my two teeth pulled which im not very excited about since everything i read says that they cant give me good pain meds so ill feel it and if that's the case just skip shoving the big needle in my mouth in the back where my lower jaw meets the top part of the jaw. i wont lie im scared i hate going to the dentist but i cant really take it any more. Ive also never have had any of my teeth pulled that i can remember so im scared of what it will feel like after with the gaping hole luckily tho they are my molars so its not something anyone can see.

I find it very funny that i could push a baby out with no pain meds and deal with all of that pain but the thought of going to the dentist and having them pull my teeth i cant handle. Im sure that having a baby hurts way more than having your teeth pulled. maybe its the fact that i have to get up at the but crack of dawn when its still dark drive the hour and then some to make it to the 7:45 am appt and try to not vomit all over them or the car on the way there or the way home.

i am very glad that rob will prob be home or have that day off to help me with phoenix. part of me wishes i could stand the taste in my mouth from these two broken teeth so i could just hold off till after the baby and then i could pump for the time i would be on the Valium that they wrote for me to take before i got pregnant to get it done and i could get the full strength of stuff they shoot into the nerves so i didn't feel it. but i cant and i think all the mouth wash i have been using to try to make it till the 17th is just way to much and bad.

okay here is what the baby would like this week if we could get a sneak peek.





















only 203 days left.

Oh i got sooo sick last night i thought i was going to have to go to the hospital to get an iv to make sure i was dehydrated. i got the worst headache ever it felt like my neck was broke it would hurt then go numb and then sharp pains again and my face felt like it had just got hit with a sludge hammer and my ears hurt all the way down deep which felt like i had shoved something sharp into in ear. I also had bad neck pains. we tried everything and nothing was working and then i started vomiting and i couldn't keep anything down and as the hours went on the sicker i got and the more it hurt and the pain was starting to make me vomit as well. rob made me a hot pack with a wet rag and zip lock bag with a min in the microwave. it felt good on my neck but hurt worse everywhere else. My mom told rob to give me some Tylenol and pack my neck and head in ice and see if that helped. 30 mins in i was drinking a little and keeping it down and 3 1/2 hours later we were both out cold.  im still sick today and have been trying some of the same things but i still have not ate cause im scared to vomit and be on a roll again. i have been drinking alot tho and keep that down so maybe if i just hold off a bit longer i will start to feel better all the way.

We are really hoping this is a girl cause if its a boy i dont think i will be doing another baby for a long time longer than this time which by the end is almost 4 years apart. i really want to be popping this baby out already and thats not a good thing cause its way to early but i cant handle being this sick all the time. I thought i had a rought pregnancy with Phoenix but its nothing compared to this one.

I have also been craving mad orange flavor.

 
 
 
 
 
next week i get another ultrasound. should be interesting to see the baby hopefully they will give us another picture to post on here on our little one.

Things we are going to buy for the baby

Here is the crib we like alot and are thinking of going with.

We really like that the side doesn't come down. Since Phoenix was such a jumper we were always afraid of the side snapping from the give it had to have to move up and down and his hard core jumping. it also seems to be built alot better than Phoenix's crib was built so we also think it will hold up better and longer.

Here is one of the swings we are going to purchase.

This one cost the most which kinda upsets me cause i found it on lejeune yard sales for super cheap i mean cheap hardly used but we just couldnt spend the money since we are trying to have all we can till rob gets another job. Its okay tho rob said that if we cant find it at the price again he will buy me this one at normal price cause he also likes all the features. Im not to big on the print the first version was so much better but i still like it. this swing is awesome here are just some of the features

• The multi-sensory soothing swing with the most customizable options to suit your growing baby needs
• Exclusive patented MomMotion rocks baby exactly the way you do
• 4 seating positions and 3 recline positions to mimic the way you hold the baby
• Removable seat doubles as a convenient floor rocker

This swing will be for the main living room and kitchen area and maybe the front room if i can find a open plug in to plug it in.

we are planning on getting a travel swing as well thats prob used cause Lejeune yard sales has great used products for great prices. alot of the stuff for sale is from smoke and pet free homes and look new or almost new so ive been looking around on there and keeping my eyes on good deals.  ill post some pics of them if i pick them up cause we were also thinking about getting a swing for our bedroom but still not sure on this yet as were already cramped for room.

Here is kinda what the breast pump looks like that i got

Mine is a double pump tho i think its a older model that's i cant find it anywhere. Lucky tho i can still buy new parts for about 15 dollars and throw away the ones she used. this one pump is 70-80 bucks where you look for it but all the doubles are 150 plus i got mine on lejeune for 25 bucks!! it was a great score and it seem to look like its going to work it turns on i can feel suction.

The last thing that we have found that we like so far is a Pack and play

This is the girl one but it also comes in boy colors they are blue,brown and green. Its very nice!

Red Cabbage Gender Test

So i thought for fun i would take the Red Cabbage gender test.

here is some info i found on it that made me want to try it.

Okay, so I've found the most fun baby gender prediction test ever. You all know how much I love science stuff and being in the lab and gathering data, right? Well, this one is right up my alley. It's a baby gender prediction test that involves testing for urine pH using a red cabbage indicator. I found the test here so you can check it out.

The science behind this baby gender prediction test is pretty simple. Theoretically, your urine pH (how acidic or basic it is) changes based on whether you're pregnant with a boy or a girl. I believe that's how the baby gender prediction tests you can buy in the store work too. But they can be a little pricey. Red cabbage has pigments in it that are sensitive to pH and turn a different color based on how acidic or basic a solution is. Ergo, you can do a super cheap test on your urine pH using red cabbage from the grocery store

Here's how I did it:

1. Cut half a red cabbage into little pieces. If you're not feeling morning sick at the time and can stomach some of the red cabbage, enjoy a few bites while cutting. Great fiber and tons of nutrients.

2. Bring about 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the cabbage pieces and remove the pan from the heat to let the cabbage simmer for about 10 minutes until the water turns a deep purplish color.

3. Strain out the cabbage pieces and keep the water. Add equal parts of cabbage indicator water and urine. Concentrated urine (first thing in the morning, for example) works best, but try several times throughout the day. Watch for a color change!

This test says that a pink/red color indicates a boy and a purple color indicates a girl. The only problem I've found with this test is that people can't agree on what the colors mean.

 

Cabbage indicator water  Plus a little pee...oooooohhh, pretty!

 I held my breath as I watched the indicator change colors and it came up a beautiful pink. I'm going to stick with the original website and say that means BOY.

So here is mine now I went down to my friend Erins house and we Tried it out. They say you get better results with this test if you do it before 10 weeks but i did it 10 weeks 6 days. anyways i just did this to have fun i plan to add the other gender tests on here as well that way when we do find out the sex of the baby we can see if they were correct or not!! should be fun! Cole was also very nice and helped with this and peed in a cup for us to see what it changes to with male urine.

This is what it looked like before we added my morning sample. nice and blue.

this is my Results!!! GIRL!!!!!!!

but to be interesting we tried it with Coles sample.

Coles is a red pink color as you can see

which means BOY!

All three so you can see the difference

 

Here is me with my sample and looking like

crap! just one more sign of girl maybe

as the old saying goes

girls "steals” the mother’s beauty

Well all in all it was kinda fun to see what  happened.  im going to do some more test and see what they say and post them like i said and when we find out the sex we can see which ones were right and which ones were wrong. im going with 50% are wrong LOL

10 Weeks

Finally were at ten weeks. 

 At this point of your pregnancy, the crown-to-rump length of your developing baby is 1.25 to 1.68 inches. It is now easier to tell how much the baby weighs since he is beginning to put on some weight. Your baby weighs approximately 5 grams and is the size of a small plum! The baby has grown an incredible amount during these past few weeks

 This week is somewhat of a landmark for your developing baby. By now, your baby's complete body plan is laid down. Your baby will continue to develop and grow for the remainder of the pregnancy. The fingers and toes have separated and the tail has disappeared now. Your baby has taste and tooth buds at this point, which will continue to develop. The brain will continue to grow at an amazing rate and nearly a quarter of a million new neurons are produced every minute! The embryonic heart is completely developed. External genitalia are not apparent until next week, but a male's testes will already be producing testosterone.

9 Weeks

This week i am back to being sick and hanging out in the bathroom for most of the day and night. I have been taking baths which seem to help but have found that what really works best is super chocolate malts with EXTRA EXTRA malt mix in it that powder stuff yeah its super good. if we run out of ice cream i just mix it in with the milk and it seems to really help. With my first pregnancy i craved Mexican all the time,fired chicken, bananas foster(i only craved this once or twice tho) which sounds really good right now too and pizza at the end me and whoo bear (zoie) were eating a whole pizza at every meal. I would eat the pizza and she would eat the crust. I really hope i stick with fruit cravings and malts cant get to fat on that. we had fired chicken the other night and it made me sick just looking at it. We also have had tacos and other Mexican food the other night and they really have not agreed with me. mostly the only reason we had it was it was late and i had to go get something to make for super and it seemed like the fastest and easiest thing to make and Larry made the other dish to use up the chicken we had left over. Phoenix has been awesome so far at trying his best to stay in the living room or in bed with mommy when daddy isn't home or with G-ma and G-pa. Phoenix seems to be taking the idea okay about having another baby some days he says he wants it to be a boy and most days he says he wants it to be a sister. He is going to be such a good big brother either way! He says that if we have a boy we should name him Cole and if we have a girl we should name her Mackenzie both are kids that live next door. =)  We have found some stuff for the baby so ill be making a post about that as well.
