alex

cannot believe Alex is going tobe five months! He is teething and drooling like crazy. He is a very smiley baby and he loves Danielle so much. We first fed him banana and avocado but he spitt them out. we also bought earths best babyfood but he makes a face and spits itout. He loves his teething ring but at thesametime it frustrates him. He babbles constantly and has started grabbing things and is so strong.
when I put him in a sitting positin he will sit but fall forward.

level two ultrasound today!

Hi ladies!

So I drank some apple juice and water before my appt and had a high calorie meal too and prayed that baby would cooperate. When I got there the receptionist said in the system it said I was there for some OTHER test, my husband and I just looked at each other lol. I told her they just called and told me they needed additional images. I saw the technician she was really nice and she confirmed that she only needed a few additional images including the four chambers of the heart. Baby was NOT cooperating after the apple juice and everything, baby is very "chill" in there lol. Kept laying on his side. The technician had me roll on the table and held me so I didnt fall I even tried jumping up and down. The babys arm kept getting in the way but he finally moved the slightest bit. She showed the radiologist the images and he said they were good enough. I get the results in a few days from my obgyn. Hopefully its all good news!

level two ultrasound

The place where I had the Level II ultrasound just called and they want me to have the test done again this time by a radiologist in order to obtain additional images because of the babys position. 

Its a baby boy!

BOY!!! SHOCKING! So I went for my level two ultrasound today and the technician (she was soo nice!) asked me if I wanted to know the sex and my husband and I said yes, then I said but Im sure it is a girl because I have a strong feeling and the last ultrasound I had when I did the NT scan the technician was 70 percent sure it was a girl she even showed me but I guess it was too early to tell. So today, I asked the tech really, really? She said yes a boy definitely and then said look boy parts lol. I feel bad because my daughter was really hoping for a baby sister she cried when we told her. I think she will love having a little brother. We are so happy and excited. I guess we need to start thinking of boys names. I am still really suprised!

The level two was an hour and a half long and I almost fell asleep towards the end. She had me take a bathroom break 30 minutes into it because she said my bladder was very full. She also have me a lollypop to get the baby to turn but I didnt help. The baby weighs 8 oz and heart rate is 145.

I will scan the ultrasound pictures I have later or tomorrow I have no internet and am typing this ifrom a friends house.

4/29 my weekend!

I went to Motherhood Maternity yesterday and they were having a great sale! I bought a couple pairs of pants, jeans, shirts, bras and underwear! They also gave me a bag with coupons, free samples, etc so nice! I was tempted to buy a nightgown for the hospital but I think I want to wait plus they didnt have much of a selection of pj's. I was so happy that they carried petite, unlike some dept stores that don't! After shopping we went to Panera for lunch, it was a nice afternoon. I tried on everything when I got home, the only complaint I have is their jeans with the panel. I rolled it down but everytime I walk the jeans slide down. Maybe I got a size to big? I tried them on in the store and they fit fine. Any advice?
Since we were at the mall I took my daughter to Build a Bear and they have a baby section! I was so tempted to buy something for baby I still haven't bought anything for baby yet, I was so tempted but I am holding out. When I was pregnant with my daughter I bought something for the baby before I was even in my second trimester

4/25 spina bifida

So my obgyn called me back and said the results of the second blood test came back normal but he wants me to have a level two sonogram anyways. I cancelled my appointment for today and am rescheduling at another place, because I don't want to risk getting the same techincian anyways, there are only two techs that work there. I breathed a sigh of relief but I am still a little concerned. He said sometimes false positives happen, scary thought.

4/23 spina bifida

My obgyn called me this morning and said the results came back abnormal for spina bifida. They are going to do a detailed ultrasound and repeat the test. I could really use your prayers. Thank you.
