The winning color is....

We had our check up today. A luckily all signs of the bladder infection are gone...YAY! Baby's heartbeat was 160 bpm, and the baby was not cooperating with the nurse. It took her a really long time to get a good measurement of the heartbeat...the little stinker was sure active today. She even felt the baby kick the Doppler one time, but I didn't feel it. I do feel it kick off and on throughout the day but not to much. I asked the nurse if Dr. Blann would be doing an ultrasound and she said "no" that he usually doesn't do them until 21 or 22 weeks (I am 20 weeks). Aaron and I were a little bummed but Dr Blann came in and said that if we wanted to know he would tell us!! YAY!!!! So the results from the ultrasound...BLUE!!! That's right, we are having a boy!!!!! Aaron and I are thrilled. I do not have any pictures of the little guy yet, my official ultrasound will be on 9-10-09 and I will get the pictures then. Aaron will be in a golf tourney at Ruidoso that week, so he will not be able to go with me. Which means my mom will go!!! I am sure she will be so excited to go with me and she will get to see her grandson for the first time that day. Hope everyone has a fantastic week, I am pretty sure this will be the best week of my life!

ER visit and Kicks

Not much has really been going on since my last update. I had to make a little trip to the emergency room last Monday morning. Nothing major, but it scared me, Aaron, my mom, my aunt, my grandma, and everyone else I think. Around 8:30 last Sunday night, I started cramping severely. I really did not think much of it, since I have cramped pretty much my entire pregnancy. After an hour of me crying from being in so much pain, Aaron called the on-call Dr. The advice we got...take 2 Tylenol, drink water, and get some sleep. Easier said than done, the cramping did not go away. Monday morning came and I called my Dr. My Dr. was out of the office that day, so I had to go to the ER. After 3 1/2 hours in the ER, the diagnoses...a bladder infection. Praise the Lord, nothing was wrong with my baby, but I was not happy. I have never had one before and had no idea they were so painful. I have been on my antibiotics for 7 days now and things are much better.

Last Sunday was also the first day I felt the baby. I was just one time and I did not feel it again for a couple of days. I felt the baby off and on last week, but not that often. Then today, the little monster kicked or punched me all day long. I think Aaron is a little jealous that he can not feel it, but I sure can. It is the best feeling in the world.

Other than that, not much has been going on. We go back to the Dr. on the 25th and hopefully we will find out what our "peanut" is. I will post then.
