My Pregnancy

This is a Journal of my pregnancy. As I had come to believe I would never be able to have a child of my own God decided it was time for a miracle. So, against all odds He opened my womb and gave us a baby. I didn't believe it at first, so I took the test 3 times! I found out right before Mother's day so not only did I get a present my Mom got the best present of finding out she is going to be a grandma again!



I went in to the doctor for a confirmation test and found I was 5 weeks along. The next week I went in for a 6 week ultrasound. Here it is:

The reproductive specialist sais all looked good and sent me back to the Ob/GYN. I had my first official Ob appointment on June 13 when I was 9 weeks along. He said all looked good and we would be able to hear the heartbeat at the next appointment.

Here I am at 8 weeks along

I had my next appointment on July 11 at 13 weeks along and after waiting a long 1 hour and 45 minutes to finally see the Doctor we got to hear our little one's heartbeat. I will have to figure out a way to insert the recording of the heartbeat.

Here I am at 16 weeks along that is 4 months folks!

I had my next Dr. Appointment on August 8th. We heard the heartbeat again and heard the baby moving around.

My next appointment is set up for September 5 and at that time I will be getting my 21 week ultrasound and if the baby cooperates we will finally know if it is a boy or girl!

August 20th update:

On Friday August 10th I felt the baby move for the first time. I have felt it several times since then.

August 30th Update:

I am 20 weeks along now that is 5 months. The baby has been moving around a lot more and I am getting a little bigger and actually looking pregnant now. Mark still hasn't felt the baby move I hope that happens soon. Here is my current belly picture.

Our Little family is also making another change:

We are moving!!

OUR HOUSE MOVE

They are explanding 2 highways bordering our park, so we purchased a lot in Rush City about 5-6 miles from my folks house. We will be moving our house on to a basement on the lot. Work has started on the basement. I am adding some pictures of our packing process and the process of our lot. I will update as we go.

August 20th Update:

They got most of our driveway done just needs some gravel. They are ready to biuld the forms for the walls and get the septic in. If it would only stop raining so they can. I added more pictures at the bottom.

August 30th Update:

We have basement walls! They are poured and working to put the beams in so the house can be moved on next Wednesday. There was some question as to whether we could put the house on and we needed the plans from the Manufacturer and since they weren't cooperating Mark drove at to Montevideo and got them. That is at least 3 hours one way and 3 1/2 to get them to the contractor and another hour home. He then took a nap before going to work at Subway. We are moving the rest of our stuff to my folks on Monday. It will then probably be another month before we can move back in. I am going to put the newest pictures on top from now it is easier. The big dog in the pictures is our new neighbors dog.
