Ultrasound Pics

Here are baby's first 2 kodak moments. The first one was taken at my new ob visit on 2/21/11.

The second was this past Wednesday on 3/23/11

8 weeks!

13 weeks!!!

I had my appt on Wednesday, Dr. Hall says everything looks great except that my placenta is at the bottom of my uterus instead of at the top, otherwise known as placenta previa. He says it's nothing to worry about right now, that they usually end up moving out of the way as the uterus gets bigger. But for now, no intercourse (sorry babe), because it could cause the placenta to separate and rupture. Then Dr Hall called on Thursday and said that after looking at both pics, my due date is looking more like Sept. 27!! He had on my chart Oct. 6, so September is definitely better! He is going to look at my next appt and see if we can tell if it's a boy or girl! Can't wait!

..... FIVE!!!!!
Cody and I are super excited to announce that we are PREGNANT!! Well, I guess technically I am the only one who's pregnant, but WE are getting a new addition. We are very excited but nervous, surprised and overwhelmed at the same time. I am almost 10 weeks along and due around the beginning of October, just in time to make Cody miss his end of September hunting trip. :( Sorry Babe! I have been super sick this time, way more than with any of the others and it's really all I can do to get out of bed every morning, but Cody is always so good to help with my housework and he and the kids have been so patient with me. Thanks guys, I love you!
I do have to say, I have been a little surprised at how some people react when they hear you already have 4 kids and are expecting another. Things like, "Oh my hell...", "On purpose??", "You already have your hands so full!" and the list goes on and on. But then there is my sweet mom who's eyes fill with tears and says, "Oh, I'm so excited for you!" So, thankyou to those of you who are being supportive and know that even though I am so excited, you also know how overwhelmed I am and know just what to say to me to make me feel better. And those of you who are having a negative reaction, well, keep it to yourself!! We think of every new baby as a blessing and to be honest, it must've been meant to be, because it definitely wasn't planned! LOL! For those of you not on facebook, first of all, WHY are you not on facebook??? And second, I will try to keep updating as we go to dr appointments and such!

And Here we are...

I am so excited! We got family pictures taken a few weeks ago! We haven't had any taken since Cody and I's wedding which means we didn't have any with the girls in them.

I think they turned out awesome! Thanks Gina for braving the bone chilling cold to do this for us, you're a gem!

The rest of us were cropped out of this pic because we were blinking or whatever, but it's precious of my Maycie Rae!...

The only thing Syd wanted to do was play in the snow, and she was already so cold!...

My handsome boys!...

Oh, I love these faces so much!...

And I love this man so much!
