It has been a productive week in my house. The nesting bug hasn't went away yet, and I have been preparing Olivia's scrapbook. I've been feeling really good, and she must be too considering all the moving around she's been doing. Time seems to be going very slow, and I really wish October was just around the corner.....

It's been over a week now that we've know we're having another little girl, and it has been fun preparing. I am SO in a nesting mood....evident by the baby boxes up in the living room from storage. It is so fun to go through all the clothes that Avery wore when she was that little. Baby Olivia sure has a fun wardrobe already! Both Grandma's are helping with that! I'm feeling good, and Olivia is moving around a lot more in there!

Avery and I just got back from a long weekend in Onalaska visiting my parents. We had such a blast, and shopped for baby Olivia, and Avery of course. Daddy sure missed us, so now we're finally back home with him...

Today was the big ultrasound day! PG thought for sure it was a boy, and I was not quite sure. It was so neat to see the baby on the screen, and we enjoyed every moment! We'd like to think Avery did too! At the end, they looked to see if it was a boy or a girl, and baby was being very shy...just like Avery was for her ultrasound. BUT, the "3 lines" that mean a girl showed up, so we were told we're having another girl! Good thing, Avery really wanted a girl! We are very excited, and are looking forward to meeting baby Olivia Lynn

You can tell I'm pregnant by the random emotions I guess. Tonight Avery and I were watching a Disney channel movie about a life size barbie doll, and for some reason, I was moved to tears...I'm gonna regret even writing that some day! :)LOOKING FORWARD TO THE ULTRASOUND ON THURSDAY!

Today as Avery and I were laying down for our afternoon nap, baby was moving around a lot...it's the first time that I've felt a couple of movements all at once!

Things have been going well. Not too many headaches, and feeling some movement, but not a lot yet. We are so anxious for the 8th to find out if we're having a boy or a girl! Less than 2 weeks to go!

Today I had my 16 week appt., and all is still going well. We'll attempt to get rid of these headaches, so I hope those dissapear soon! The baby's heartbeat was at 144, and I measured at 17 weeks. We have our ultrasound scheduled for June 8th, so the countdown begins. I can hardly wait!

The yucky tummy seems to be on vacation! I haven't felt yucky for a couple days now, but instead, headaches are here! I thought it was the pillow I was sleeping on, but no...it's the pregnancy!This week, Avery has the names "Trea and Jessica" picked out for the baby...yes, she demands it's a girl!

FELT THE BABY MOVE!!! I think I have been feeling it for a couple of days, but tonight, I'm sure I felt it! YIPPIE!!!

I had my dr. appointment today, and we heard the heartbeat! It was in the 150's. It's always such a beautiful sound! We will go back in 4 weeks for another appointment, and then at 20 weeks, the ultrasound! My doctor is having me meet with a perinatologist for the ultrasound because of the issues we had with Avery. This will be really neat, as he said the pictures will be very detailed. Needless to say, we are very excited to see if this is a boy or a girl!

12 WEEKS! YIPPIE! Finally, a load of worrying has been taken off our minds. Yes, something could still go wrong with the pregnancy, but what a relief being past the crucial time period! The "bump" is growing, and I am in total maternity gear. It's kind of that "I wonder if she's gaining weight" period of time where the bump is big enough to have to wear big ol' jeans, but the shirts still make me look like I'm fat...

Finally 11 weeks, one more to go till we're done with the 1st trimester, and the icky tummy too...I hope! We are very excited for this weekend to be here! PG, Avery and I are going up to A-TOWN to visit with PG's family! We haven't been there since December, and with them only being 2 hours away, lets just say its been too long! Then, on Saturday, my family is coming up here for Easter! We are going to have an action packed weekend, but are very excited for a little vacation from normal daily activities!

Well, I spoke too soon on the queasy tummy going away, because it has made itself obvious that it's not gone yet! A couple of days this last week, and tonight...man...it just keeps coming back! Can't wait till it goes away...for good!

Little by little the queazy tummy is going away, and I couldn't be happier! I am still very tired, and enjoy taking my afternoon naps with Avery! We'll be 10 weeks tomorrow, so only 10 more weeks till we know if baby is a boy or a girl!

We had our first doctor appointment today in BIG TOWN. We are officially 9 weeks, and we were lucky enough to hear the heartbeat...kind of. The baby's heartbeat was like 140-150, but it was so soft, we weren't able to hear it. The doppler machine picked it up though! Either way, it's reassuring to know that baby is still growing and doing well!

The last two days I have been feeling pretty darn good! I hope the queasy tummy has left for now! I have my first doctor appointment this Thursday, so I'm anxious to meet my new doctor. I'm pretty sure it's a man, so that will be different from the first time around with Avery. I'll be 9 weeks on Thursday, and the days keep going by slowly! Seems like I've been pregnant for a long time now, but really, I've only known for 6 weeks! Only 31 more weeks to go! UGH!

Feeling a little bit better these days. It's crazy how your body changes...even this early on. I don't like to eat anything that is hot right now. I've been having subs from Subway for the last couple days, and man, that's been great! Poor PG has to deal with all this. Before I was pregnant, we could have spagetti and pizza every night of the week and be fine with it. Now, the thought of something warm, YUCK! I'm sure he hopes that passes soon, as do I!I can also tell that this is the second time around, because I seem to be growing faster, even at just around 8 weeks. I remember not showing with Avery till around 18-20 weeks! Pretty crazy how things can stretch faster!Avery is begging me to play Queen and Princess with her, so I better go now...

Well, still feeling sick, no suprise there. I can't imagine what women who actually vomit over and over again deal with. This is nothing compared to that! A lot of really fun and cute maternity items have been coming into where I work, so I've been having a blast stocking up my closet! My pants are a bit tight, so I'm enjoying the maternity pants that let me "breathe". I think women who aren't pregnant should be allowed to wear them too! COMFY!

The queasy tummy hasn't went away yet, but is getting a little bit better. Besides that, I feel great! When you find out so early that you're pregnant, days seem to go by very slow. Avery is keeping us busy though! She is very excited to have a brother or sister. The names she picks out change everyday. I wonder who will tell her that we can't name her baby Tarzan!

Well, today wasn't such a fun day. I am thinking this is a boy, because I have not been feeling good this last week. I have been queasy, but today, boy, I don't know what was wrong, but I felt awful! I was never sick with Avery, so I don't know what to read into this! I just know that it's no fun at all, but yes, it is worth it in the end!
