And the good news keeps coming.....

So I know I said I was going to try and post every week to update everyone on the baby, and how I was feeling. I wanted to do this because it's been so long since I was pregnant I don't really remember how I feltduring the earlier stages of pregnancy. Sorry for those of you who want to hear some juicy news, most of my blogas are going to be baby related. So Sunday I was supposed to go to work but I was having the worst abdomnial cramps in my life...fyi they didn't feel like those other kinds of cramps, I could barely walk cuz it hurt so bad, so Logan ordered me to sit around all day and take it easy. This had never happened before so we didn't want to risk anything. Monday comes around and the pain is still there but now there are sharp shooting pains in my tummy, that would come and go. For anyone who has had a child and had contractions...thats what it felt like but mini ones. So I was let out of work early to call my dr. and see what she can do, turns out when you have a dr. off base and you haven't been seen you can't just go there. Stupid Tricare! Not really but yea some of their rules are stupid! Anywhoooooo, I got an appt. with the lady on base to see what was going on.

Tuesday morning we head to the dr. still in pain and with Logan by my side with Ali of course, this was a family affair. I love that no matter what Logan has always been there at baby appts. :) So we go in the dr. asks some questions...and then she says ok let's listen for the heart beat........

About after 10 minutes of her trying and everyone silent...she couldn't hear it, so she says before we all freak out sometimes it will be hard to hear since I'm only so far along. At this point I'm freaking out, all the bad stuff that shouldn't go through your head at that moment is...what else can you really think of right? So she ordered me some tests and an ultrasound and let's us know that if there is something wrong then I can start to panic, but until than I really should stay calm.

So after about an hour I finally go into to see the ultrasound tech and get this over with :( I had asked the lady at the desk if I could take Logan and Ali with me and was completely shot down. Again :( I didn't want to be alone if there was going to be any kind of bad news given to me. So we head back and she starts doing her thing. All the while she is giving the screen confusing faces, as if something were wrong : / So finally after about 5 minutes of silence which felt like 30 minutes, she says she sees a heart beat and its going strong! :D YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! 166 to be exact and after she was done taking some measurements she would turn the screen so I can see what she saw. So here's a little peek at what I got to see: It still breaks my heart that Logan couldn't be physically in the room with me  but we go back to the Dr.'s on the 13th and if we're lucky we'll get another one done. That being said too our due date has changed and will now be having a June baby! Just like it's daddy <3





The tech was super nice and wanted to try out the 3D ultrasound "just for fun"


Well I hope if you read this it was a good story, if not oh well... Off to finish Christmas shopping hope I find something good. Until next time
