100 Days

Only 100 Days left until we see our Baby Girl. Really hard to believe!

I went to the Doc today for a checkup. It drives me crazy that I see a different Doctor every time. The cervix is still long and closed. Very good news! I am half way to my next goal of 28 weeks. I go in next week for another ultrasound.

EEG Test

I really didn't think this would ever happen, but Austin has to go to Children's Hospital for an EEG test on Monday. He started to twitch a few times a day and I got worried so Jason took him to the Doctor today. She said just as a precaution he should get the EEG test done and also see a Neurologist. I am really freaked out, but hopefully it will turn out to be nothing and go away on it's own. There is a very big possibility it is nothing according to the Doctor.

I am just worried because we have so much going on and I want Austin to be ok. All I do is sit around and think about everything with this pregnancy and worry. Now I have to worry about my Austin too. I go in for an appt tomorrow morning with my mom. I sure am counting on everything to go well there. It darn better. I will update later, please keep us in your Prayers.

1st Fever

Poor Austin hasn't been feeling well since yesterday. Last night his fever spiked up to 102.3. Of course I called the Doctor and they wanted to see him first thing in the morning.No I didn't call after hours, they were still open. I gave him some Motrin and my mom came over to help me out since he was sick. She put him in the tub for a cool bath to break the fever and it worked well. He was playing and happy so I wasn't too worried. I put him down at 9 and he slept until 2am. Then the crabby fussy guy awoke and stayed away until 5am! Of course Jason slept right through that.

Jason took him in to the Doc this morning and his fever wasn't too high maybe 100.4. He checked out fine other than dehydrated. They said to keep an eye on him and bring him back if it doesn't stop in a couple days. Of course now that the sun is going down his fever has spiked again. We couldn't get him to eat anything until Jason made him a egg and cheese omlette, and he gobbled that up. Hoping for a better night. Lots of Cuddles, kisses and liquids for my little guy.

Here is Nana and Austin after his bath yesterday.

Costume Preview

We have had Austin's Halloween costume for a while. I decided to put him in it today to see how he liked it. Well, he hates it! Jason would not let me get a cute tigger or penguin costume, he wanted his son to be something grown up. I didn't like that, but I had to listen. Anyway, Austin is a Vampire and he doesn't like the cape on him. He is fussy with it on. We will see how it goes this Halloween.

Sleepy Girl

I had my 24 week ultrasound this morning. We decided to take Austin with us today. He didn't do as well as we hoped, he was scared when he saw the lady doing things to my tummy. He became very fussy and scared so Jason had to take him to the waiting room to play with the toys. He did well out there.

My cervix is still very long, measured and 42 this time. There are still no signs of opening at all and no funneling! I am so happy that everything is going normal so far. Stinks I still have to lay around all day, but well worth it! I may go to the store in a wheel chair today with Austin and Jason.

Our little girl kept yawning during the ultrasound, it was so cute. She is on average for weight at 1 1/2 pounds. Here are some pics from her ultrasound. Thank you all for all of your thoughts, support and Prayers!


Here she is yawning

MILESTONE!!!

Had to post - made it to 24 weeks and still going strong. I love to feel her kick and move, I smile every time. I am trying to enjoy this pregnancy, because it will be the last. We still don't have a name, but are working on it. I am going to have a nice dinner with my mom and Austin to celebrate. Taking it easy today. On an awesome note, if the baby is born now she has a 40% chance of survival.

Heres to the next Milestone - 28 weeks!

Austin Update! - 19 Months

Hard to believe my little guy is 19 months old. He is doing really well. Jason was a good Dad and took Austin to his well appointment and it was great. I was really upset to miss it, but I kinda had no choice. He is 26 1/2 lbs and 33 1.2 in tall. He is on the skinny side, but he is very tall for his age. He has been that way for a while. He didn't get any shots and he behaved very well for the 1st time in a while there. Usually he tries to run up and down the halls visiting everyone and he screams when the Doc tries to look at him. Jason said he was very well behaved.

I think he is finally getting the idea I am Pregnant. We ask him where the baby is and he runs to my tummy and rubs and kisses it. I love it, he is going to be an amazing big brother. We are getting ready for potty training and big boy bed. I have no idea how that is going to go. Good thing is Gramma De is doing a good job working on the Big Boy bed with him for naps at her house. Thank You Gramma De!!

JAson just finally bought me a Wii to help keep me busy. Austin LOVES when we plan race with Mario Cart. He cheers for us and says Go Go Go all the time. It's so funny. He loves any and everything that has to do with cars and boys stuff in general. He does love to dance and has a very awesome funny personality. He dances like an old man, hehe.

Word Count:

Mommy
Doggie
Home
Ball
Baahh - for sheep
Moo - for Cow
Yummy
Uh-Oh
Wow
Go Go
Yes
Bye Bye

Woo Hoo!!

I went to the Doc this morning and it was a short and sweet visit. Doc came in and checked me and things were still great with the cervix. Long and Closed. I still have to limit myself a lot in what I do. It's tough to just lay around all day, but it is soooo worth it in the end. She decided that I should come in every week now for a visit. We will alternate ultrasounds and Doc visits every week. I like that plan because I wonder too much of my cervix has changed or not. I am so happy I will be 24 Weeks on Friday. That is my 1st goal and a huge milestone. I will have to do something special that day. Well, I am limited, so maybe I will rent a good movie or something, lol.

Austin is 19 months today. Crazy how time flies! Tomorrow he is going for his well visit. Stay tuned for a Austin Update! I am going to do nothing for a while. Anything for this baby girl.

A Peek into Austin's Day

Due to my situation, Austin goes to Gramma De's house from about 8am to about 4pm or so 4 days a week. I really miss him, but I have to take really easy for this little baby. I miss him so much and wish I could have him here and play with him.

De sometimes sends pics my way of the little man having fun over there. It makes my day to see him and know he is having fun. Here are a couple pics from today. She is working on a big boy bed. We are getting ready here for that too since baby is coming and needs the crib. I have a feeling these 3 -4 months will go by fast. I hope so anyway!

23 Weeks!!

For my loss of a title I put the exciting news that I am 23 weeks along. Were has the time gone? I am not very far along, but it still feels darn good! Austin, Jason, family and Friends help the time pass. I think I have cabin fever!!

Today was a slow day. My Good Friend Nikki stopped by for a while and Austin went through her purse, lol. I'm loving the fall weather and can't wait for the snow!!!

Not much else to post, so I will put a few pics of Austin since I have been lacking photos.

22 Weeks

I am more than half way to seeing our Baby Girl and it gives me Butterflies. I am excited to see her for the first time. We are getting things here and there for her. I am loving looking at the Girl clothes. Of course I love shopping for Austin too!

We went to the Doc today for an Ultrasound and I was very nervous as always. I just recently was diagnosed with an infection, so I was nervous my cervix has changed. I measured very long still at 39mm. I was shocked! The cervix is still closed too! I really didn't know I could make it this far without something going wrong. I am very happy though, and thanks to all for your Prayers. I am still taking it very easy and not able to do much. If my cervix stays like this I may be able to do more in a couple months, who knows.

I will leave you with a pic of the little Darling.
