Today we had a change...

However not the change we were expecting! Had our weekly check up with the doctor ... my lovely cervix is still closed but he did an Ultra Sound to make sure her head was down. Yep the head for sure is down. AND .... We are having a boy!!!

Yes you ARE reading this correct ...

Dr said to Steve and I "how sure were you that you were having a girl?" Steve said, "Oh I have know all along it is a girl". "Well, I think that this is a testicle in the picture"... Steve and I are waiting for a joke to come along. No joke he says he is 95% sure and gave us a picture.

So leaving the hospital, Steve is smiling and laughing. Mind you I was not....crying my eyes out. (big part because of my lovely hormones going crazy) My mind is on overload with all the pink clothes I have and the name hanging in the baby's room. Steve was wonderful...gave me a big hug and said, "Don't worry it will be fine". As long as the baby is healthy that is all that matters.

He is so right I think I am just a bit overwhelmed with this.

I was already going to be shopping this weekend for the last minute stuff that I need. So I will be buying more clothes as well. Neutral for now until the baby is born :) You never know.

Perhaps that is why I have had no changes. Baby didn't want to get ready to come out if we all new it was a different sex.

Judi (co worker) and her daughter went to lunch today and stopped at Kohls to pick up a whole bunch of boys clothes. AND of coarse that made me cry too! SO sweet of them! THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU.

So for now that is all the news I have.
We did have a boy's name picked out ... MATTHEW STEVEN

Until next week.
Enjoy your long weekend.

No news to share ...

Well Friday I had another weekly check up. Same as last week ...baby is very actve, she has not dropped at all and my cervix is..........Closed! Just want I am sure you all wanted to know! Next week if i have had no contractions and my cervix is closed Dr. said he would do a quick ultra sound to see how she is positioned.
So we are just waiting ... A good friend and ex co-worker me something that was really sweet. Enjoy the anticipation of her arrival and all the happens and doesn't. Before you know it you will be planning her 1st Birtday Party.
So I will try not to be too anxious to meet my baby girl.

Thanks talk to you in a week or so!!
Love to all

Hunting

As many of you already know my husband is a avid hunter. This is one hobbie that he truly loves to take the time and do. He has hunted most of Wisconsin and also been out west 4 times to Wyoming and Montana with his father. Time which they both cherish as they both enjoyed the time and have come home successful hunters. Steve's hoping that baby girl will have some interest in this hobby or atleast try it ... we will see!

This is 2008 Buck from MJK's Land. You will learn who MJK is soon.

Jazmyne

This is my husband's very own "daughter with fur"...his spoiled yellow lab. Well, ok we both spoil her. She is an awesome dog and we are excited to see her reactions to the arrival of Baby Girl. She does have Steve (and my self I must admit) wrapped around her little paw. But we love her because she is so lovable. I think at times she does think of herself as a human.

Doctor Update ...

I

I am now on weekly doctor's appointments. Today was the first one and so far nothing, which i pretty much figured. She has not dropped yet so i knew nothing would happen. I just had a nice reassuring doctor's appointment. Being that we didn't tell any one that we were trying or when we were pregnant, I had to find my own doctor. That is a little un-nerving...for fear that "AM I PICKING THE RIGHT ONE?" I have liked and felt comfortable with him since we met but this mornings appointment really confirmed that we have made the correct choice. He is really good and laid back...that is what we (steve) needs. He takes the time to find out how WE are and if we are ready as the count down is getting closer.

That is all until next week's appointment.

ALSO attached are pictures of the baby's room. Thought you would enjoy!

Baby Day is coming ...

Well...i might not be the writer that my sister is but thought you'd enjoy the updates. I am 28 days away from my due date. Also very ready I might add! Baby "G" is moving around all the time...very active! I am using/leaning on my sister for questions as the due date arrives. Steve and I just finished 3 or 4 labor and delivery classes last night and I think I am more nervous now that I am more aware. Steph will get plenty of questions before the big day...HA just wait until labor starts...she might as well just stay on the phone with me. I am very excited to meet her. With both of my sisters babies here and a friend just had hers last week...i am counting the days. Her room is finished and I will get those pictures posted as soon as I can.
