30 weeks down 10 to go!

So on Monday I started my 30th week of pregnancy. Let me just say I AM SOOO TIRED and ACHY! Sleeping has become so very uncomfortable. Mostly due to my achy back and upper buttocks/hips. Seth is rolling around, thank God not too much at night. His active times are between 9am-1pm. I most defintely will miss the feeling of him moving after he is born. That is my favorite part of pregnancy. Everything else is NOT fun at all :o)

In other news...we will be celebrating our FIRST ANNIVERSARY next Monday (Sept 29th). This year has flown by! We are taking a four day weekend to rest and maybe venture out, but for sure rest! :)

Nothing else new on the home front.... :o)

The Results are in....

So we went again yesterday. I drank my Starbucks, but after reading comments from a friend I wish I would have done what she said(orange juice and a chocolate donut). I drink orange juice every morning and he is active after that. DUH Beca! I guess I was soo anxious to see him I thought the Tech knew what she was recommending. Anyway, we did go again and my dear little boy was not planted in my placenta BUT we have come to find out he LOVES LOVES LOVES to have his hands and arms in his face! He let us get a few shots of his face but most of the time we were fighting with him to MOVE MOVE MOVE his arm and hands! As you'll see in one of the pictures he has his whole hand covering his face. Either he is very shy or is a baby with a sense of humor and thinks it's funny to let his Grandma's pay lots of money to see HIS HANDS AND ARMS! LOL! What we did see, lots of chubby cheeks and so far he looks EXACTLY like Brett did when Brett was born(See below to the pictures of the ultrasound of Seth and Brett newborn pic for your opinions). 2 months 2 weeks and 6 days till we find out for sure!

He is a chubby one! (must get that from me..lol!)

Chubbo Cheeks!

Smiling or Smirking...

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!
