Stubborn Husband

I went for my level 2 sonogram this afternoon and the doctor said everything looks great. She checked out the brain, heart, and kidneys. There was no evidence of any abnormalities. We know that my chances of having a child with a heart defect are very slim, even with my previous history. However, the doctors want to make extra sure and that means extra peaks at the little one. Who could refuse!

For those that don't know, Nathan and I have had an on going "battle" about finding out the gender. I want to know and he wants to be surprised. I was hoping he would just give in at the doctor's office, but he didn't. So at this point the gender is still unknown. I go back for another sonogram in mid September and he says he might change his mind by then. I have my doubts though. =( For now we are both VERY grateful that the baby seems healthy!! Here's my favorite photo...trying to suck it's thumb.



In other news the nursery is painted and no longer blue. YEAH!! And our crib and dresser have been delivered and put together.


Thanks for your continued prayers!

16 Week Check Up and Other Stuff

I went to the doctor this morning for my 16 week appointment. Everything is still going well! I've finally started gaining weight, up a total of 3 pounds now. I was so nauseous at the beginning that it was hard to eat, even though I wasn't actually throwing up. I go back in four weeks for another check up. In two weeks I go back to the specialist for another level 2 sonogram. They want to check out the baby's heart and kidneys. Hopefully the baby will be cooperative and we can also find out gender. =)

We painted the nursery over the weekend and it looks really good. That room was the previous owners office and he had it painted a really ugly and very bright blue. It's now a light spring/mint green. So much better! I've also ordered my crib and dresser/changer. I wasn't planning on ordering this early, but JC Penney was having a great sale! Hopefully it will be here soon. Once it's put together I'll post pictures.

Guess that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!
