Doctor’s Appointment Stats:Measured at 35 weeksHer heart rate was 150 beats per minuteMy BP was 112/70Everything looking good and I’m back there in 2 weeks for a progress check and then the ultrasound is a week after that! Ashleigh is still getting the hiccups about 4 times a day and I’m pooped. Ready for the baking to be done! I think the weatherman lies and it’s really 124 degrees outside.

Went to the doctors' office Tuesday for my 32 week check up. Everything is good. Heart rate was 148 beats per minute. I'm carrying her all on my right side but apparently this is a normal thing. Something to do with where the arteries of the heart are located. I go back at 34, 36 and 37 weeks. Got my appointments made and I'm excited about the ultrasound on the 25th of June. Maybe we'll be

I'm excited. My two showers are this weekend. Clint and I have been getting everything ready for months now and it's so exciting that the time is finally here. 32 weeks along. No sleep, can't get comfortable to save my life, trouble breathing, clothes not fitting (again!), getting kicked in the ribs and I'm thankful for every bit of it. Funny how things are so hard but they are so worth it. My

Not too mad. But there is madness nonetheless. Our house is in complete disarray. With all the painting, trim designing, hardwood floor laying nothing seems to be in order. It's something all time and hopefully it will be complete within the next 4 decades. I had a doctor's appointment on the 12th and everything checked out fine. Her heart rate was 146 and my blood pressure was 104/70. Both Rowe

Yes. I was one of the lucky ones. Got the dreaded stomach bug which leaves you re-looking at foods and indulgences you previously enjoyed. Good grief is all I can say. After 18 hours of this horrible show that took place and Zofran couldn't touch Clint took me to the hospital. We spent 5.5 hours of our Sunday in Labor & Delivery. After getting hooked up to fluids I immediately felt like a better

We were early, very early to our appointment. Eager to find out what "it" is. Luckly the nurse cooperated with our overexcitement and called us back early. The baby was super active. Wouldn't stay still. She did the measurements. Then looked for the deciding factor, or lack thereof. Nope, couldn't tell. Cord was neatly between the legs. Ok, heartbeat, calm down, we'll find out. Check some other

With New Year's, work travels, doctor appointments and volunteer group meetings this month has slipped by without my notice. We had a baby appointment on the 10th which told us the heart rate was 155. I immediately inquired whether it was normal to have a change. He assured we that is was indeed normal and what they actually looked for. Overall good appointment. The next will be in February.

Wow. Times flies when you are going to the doctor, traveling, Christmas shopping yet maintaining to live your "normal" life. In the month of December we had Christmas get-togethers with friends, birthdays, a cruise to Mexico, our second doctors appointment, family holiday functions, Bama bowl game and New Years eve festivities. Since this is the baby's blog I guess I'll fill you in on that

So, the due date is now July 12, 2008. The same day as two of my friend's weddings. Needless to say I won't be attending. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, says "maybe it'll be a July 4th baby." I hope it isn't. But not really under my control. The doctor's appointment was easy. Not at all as invasive as I imagined. Clint really liked the doctor. Me, too. We got to see the heart beat. It put my

So, the nausea has come. Guess as long as these lovely things keep happening I know things are progressing. Doctor's appointment is Friday. We are ready. Ready to hear that little heartbeat. Still tired. Stayed up to watch the Alabama vs. Auburn game Saturday night. That was the latest I've been up in weeks. I felt like a toddler with my eyes trying to shut and me fighting it. Had a craving for

I could sleep ALL the time. Constantly. Seriously. Very tired. Other than the occasional nausea spell I am doing pretty good. The grandparents are still excited. They call, take us to eat, inquire about how I feel. Work has been understanding about me not going to the bank. Wonder if they'd notice if I took a nap. Ha. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas. We have begun to organize

Ahhhh....Gatlinburg in the Fall. How beautiful are those mountains. Our weekend trip with Kevin and Dreama was just wonderful. The car ride didn't bother me one bit. I took my spot in the backseat and held on. We got there late Friday...ate, checked in at the main cabin booking place and set off to find our cabin. We found it after a good half hour of driving around. It was just perfect. Two

Two days off this week. You'd think I'd be saving up all the leave I could. Oh no, I go and get sick. If the bean didn't put me in a big enough fog...I go a get a serious cold. Back at work but totally unproductive. Told everyone here about the bean in the belly. Come to find out I'm the first, in at least 12-13 years, to have a baby in this department. Isn't that wild? No knocked up chicks

Woke up and knew that my office would not be seeing me today. Couldn't breathe and my throat felt like I ingested razor blades for supper the night before. But I tell ya what...I HAD to get the blood work. Had to know the results. I got up, put my hair on top of my head and went to the lab. They looked at my puny veins in my arms that were still bruised from Thursday and didn't even bother to try

Well, Memphis is as dirty, loud and great as I last left it. But with friends and family there you hardly even notice the grime that forms on your skin as you walk around the perimeter of Beale street. We went to Jillian's to watch the Alabama game. Michael and Johnny already know the news. THE news. So, we are waiting for my mom to get there. Stan shows up first but we hold out to tell the

So, I wait as long as I can to call and check on the blood work. I held out until 10am. This was relatively easy because I've already limited the caffiene intake and increased the water. Between running to the bathroom and reading every website possible the morning went by pretty quick. I call and apparently there isn't one nurse to every patient. Go figure. I thought it was all about me. So, she

So, I go to CVS to pick up the random assortment of things that one finds they need on their lunch hour. Yet, as I wander the aisles I think that buying a pregnancy test feels like a real good idea. Of course, I get the 2 pack...always the bargain shopper. I go back to work and pass both. With double lines of course (Jennifer actually came to confirm for me - being a pro and all). Mr. Bean is
