My dear dear son!

So as you all know, well if you read one of my previous blogs you'll know..lol! Our first attempt to see Seth was a no-go due to the imaging clinic getting robbed. Well Tuesday we went to a totally different imagining clinic. Luckily they did not get robbed, so we get into the room and she started the ultrasound. My dear son decided today was the day to PLANT his face in my placenta and NOT MOVE AT ALL! We did all we could to make him move but he was stubborn and would not budge (a trait that must come from his dad...lol! I Love you babe!) As if that wasn't enough he decided to also put his arms in front of his face. The ultrasound tech got one semi-decent picture before the arms, but once the arms were up, the ultrasound can not penetrate thru bone. Needless to say it was not very successful. Thank the Lord they give 2nd attempts, so we go again on today. This time I am going to drink a Starbucks (loaded with sugar) before I go! OH YES, I forgot the only thing my son was willing to show us was HIS GOODS!
Here are a few of the pics...

Half of his face...

Looks like he is smirking..."Haha Mom and Dad..."
The only good shot...HIS GOODS!

Third Trimester....Here I come!

So it is official! I have entered into my third trimester! 2 months 3 Weeks 1 day until D-Day! Of course that is his due date, I am praying he DOESN'T come later than that. It is wonderful to feel a little person growing inside, but the aches and pains that come with it I am OVER! :o)
There is no waiting either when you hit the third trimester! I am now tired again, and I feel my energy declining. (it could be I get up at least 3 times a night to use the ladies room and then have wake up early for work). However, I keep reminding myself it will be all worth it in the end to see and hold Seth.

Today is our second attempt to see Seth via 4D. I am trying not to get my hopes up. I don't want them to be dashed again! Good sign tho was the Imagining Center called me yesterday to confirm the appointment today. It is gonna be crazy to be able to see him!

Ah! and he has begun to share his elbow/heel/knee/foot (not sure which one) with me. Yesterday for the first time I felt it glide across my stomach. He has been a baby that has laid real low in the moving department. But as he is getting bigger and probably running out of space he is moving higher up. Finally my loved ones will be able to feel him move around!

I will be sure to post pictures of the 4D as soon as I can!

Dissapointing Thursday!

So yesterday we had our 4-D Ultrasound scheduled. It was at 5pm. All day we anticipated 5pm coming and then being able to see Baby Seth. Well I left work at 4:30 drove all the way to West Palmdale (I work in Lancaster) and as I get there I see my sister coming toward my car. The center was "CLOSED DUE TO ROBBERY"!!! Robbery?!?!?!? So we didn't get to see Baby Seth. I was a litte upset they didn't call their appointments. What if I was driving from Tehachapi or far away. Unless their computer system was stolen, or somebody died, that is bad customer service! Anyway, we scheduled another appointment with another place for Sept 9th. The new place told me they recommended doing the 4-D between 28 weeks and 32 weeks. So we'll get a better view of Seth and what he looks like! We just have to be patient for 1 more week and a few days. :o)

26 Weeks 2 days!

So tomorrow is the big day! The first of our 2 4-D ultrasounds. The next one will be around 31 weeks. We are sooo very excited! I'll be sure and post pictures as soon as I can, probably Friday.

Also our 1st baby shower has a date. October 11th!! This shower will be thrown by my mom and sister and then my amazing mother in law is throwing us another one sometime in late October. Yay!! I can't wait to see everyone and celebrate Seth.

Oh yes we picked out a bedding we like and are registered for it. Wahoo! See the picture below :o) I love it because it is different design then I have seen and because of the blue, beige and brown! LOL! I can't wait to decorate. Our good friend has told us he will draw whatever mural we like on the wall and so I certainly can't wait to see how that comes out!

Random Pictures over the last few months!

Here we are at week 25!!!!!

Time is sure flying by!!!! I remember being 10 weeks along and thinking how far away 25 weeks was and here it is! Baby Seth is gonna be here sooooo fast! It is weird to think in 15 weeks he will be god-willing be here and we'll be a little family! CRAZY!!

Baby updates...Well he moves and moves. Brett FINALLY got to feel him kick For the last 3 weeks Brett has tried to feel it but Seth would stop when Brett would lay his hand on my stomach and then will start up again once Brett walked away. Poor Brett he was beginning to think Seth didn't like him :o( But then one night before going to sleep, I was on my side and Seth was going crazy and I motioned Brett to put his hand on (didn't want to talk so Seth couldn't here me tell Brett..lol!) and Brett felt Seth. For a good 3 or 4 minutes! We were happy! The lucky #2 person to feel Seth was my sister Corryne. Last night we went to see our parents who just returned from Hawaii, and we were hanging out and Seth started to move, so my sister comes over and puts her hand on and he stops. So Corryne tells Seth that he better kick or she isn't going to finish planning our baby shower and he won't get any gifts. I kid you not he kicked as soon as she finished! It was classic!!!

We have our 4D Ultrasound on the 28th so I will be sure to post pictures of that. We are sooo anxious to see him in 4D! What will he look like? AHHH the anticipation!

Another crazy thing is next month will be our 1 year anniversary!!! This time last year we were planning our wedding and now we will be planning for our son's arrival!

23 Weeks and a sad sad belly day!

Yesterday I began my 23rd week. 17 more to go! Well today at work I was in the bathroom and there is a body length mirror and I just happen to see this reddish mark on my belly and to my sad sad surprise the stretch marks have come! I saw faint ones last week and since then have be lathering up on "tummy butter". But I was too late! They are now turning that purplish red color! AHHHH!!! Good thing little Seth will be worth all this!

Oh yeah by the way we have a name! I forgot to post it on here and in case you didn't know. Baby Bean is Seth Allyn Humphreys! Allyn is after his Dad and Grandpa Rick who both have the middle name of Alan/Allen. So we decided instead of choosing which spelling of the two to use, we will look up other forms of spelling it.

Well here is a picture of what little Seth should be looking like at 23 weeks...
