IT'S A BOY!!!

We went for our Anatomy scan ultrasound this morning.  I was so nervouse that baby would be shy or sleeping and would not give us a peek.  But baby was moving around, kicking and stretching.  I tried to pay close attention when the baby was kicking to see if I could feel it, but I can't.  Oh well hopefully I will start feeling movement soon.  Anyway...everything looks great and it's a boy...hopefully I will get to post some pics soon =]  I go back on January 19

We have so much to be thankful for...

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year.  It was so much fun telling all of our family that we are expecting.  It is unbelievable how blessed we are.  I hate to rush the holidays, because I really love Christmas time and Christmas music and Christmas movies, but I can't wait until December 22nd.  That is the day that we will find out if our little Love is a little boy, or a little girl.  I kinda have a feeling that it is a little girl.  I honestly do not care either way, but I know Jon is pulling for a little boy.  Anyway we will know in 3 weeks =]  I really want to have names picked out by then.  We have picked out and agreed on a boys name, Jonathon Tanner Vines, we will call him Tanner.  But, We can't agree on anything for a baby girl, we both like Hope, but can't agree on anything to go with it??? I have been reading a couple of books on pregnancy.  The books say that at 16 weeks you may feel movement from the baby.  I can't feel anything...I am 16 weeks 1day, so hopefully I will feel baby soon...

Me and Jon Thanksgiving 2010

15 Weeks

Well today I am exactly 15 weeks.  We went to the Dr. this morning.  We got to listen to the heartbeat for a good while (I love that sound) it was 145 BPM.  She said that everything else looked good except my weight.  I have already gained 10 lbs.  She said that is a lot to be only 15 weeks along.  I promised to do better and I will.  I started back working out this week and I hope that will help...I use to work out every morning, but when I found out I was pregnant I stoped because I was scared of another miscarriage. and because it was after a workout last time that I started bleeding.  When we went to the Dr at 7 weeks she said all was good and it was safe to work out.  But I just felt too tired and morning sickness was bad...But this week I feel much better so Im doing light workout, just 30 min a day.  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and Iwe are so excited to see my family and share the news with those who don't know.  I have already put up my Christmas Tree and bought some presents.  I am not waiting around this year...We have a list already picked out of what everyone is getting.  We go back to the Dr. December 22nd, at 19weeks, and at that appointment we will get an ultrasound and find out the sex of our little love....Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving

11 WEEKS

Ok, so, I went to the Dr. this morning...I have been so excited and really scared about this visit. Since we are still in the early weeks I am always scared to death.  If I wake up in the morning and I don't feel sick, I get worried that something is wrong. Jon even fixed it so he could stay in Alabama this week, so he could go with me incase it was bad news.  The appt went really fast, just peed in a cup and listened to the heartbeat (which, by the way, is the most wonderful sound I have ever heard)...it was my 3rd visit, I guess thats how they will go from now on???  I was disapointed cause I thought they would do an ultrasound, because they did at the 1st two visits.  But...she said that everything looks and sounds good so that is wonderful news!!!  I will go back to the Dr. November 24th, the day before thanksgiving...I will be 15 weeks =]

Major Mood Swings

10 weeks today...hoping and praying each day that everything is ok with this little love...well I went shopping on my lunch today at the gap, when I walked in the door all the sales people starting running up to me, telling me "ALL" jeans 40% off....I asked two sales people, "ALL JEANS?" they both said yes....so I wized over to the maternity jeans and picked out a pair....thinking I dont really need them now, but hopefully I will and I can always exchange sizes or something if they dont fit when I need them, but I can get them now for a cheaper price....awesome....get to the register...$75...the lady tells me its all jeans "BUT" maternity jeans...I lost my mind, started yelling at her, "YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE SIGN, IT SAYS ALL JEANS" and "I ASKED TWO SALES PEOPLE, YOU ALL NEED TO GET ON THE SAME PAGE"...needless to say the poor sales lady gave me the jeans at 40% off....I told her I was so sorry...then I cried all the way back to work...I feel so terrible and ashamed about how I acted.  I hope I did not jinx anything for acting like a jerk and buying materninty close to early...Hope everyone is having a good day...

Three Months Tomorrow

Well tomorrow I will be 9 weeks.  I almost can't believe we have made it this far.  After my 1st miscarriage I read though thousands and thousands of forums, all telling me how common miscarriage is.  That is all I can think about.  I still feel really good about this one.  I have been pretty sick and the Dr. said that is a good sign.  I have read through several of my friends blogs, all word for word from when they found out they were expecting to the date of birth.  Some of the blogs really gave me hope, its crazy, and in the blog they would say things like " I know nobody is reading this" I wish I could tell them how much hope their words gave me.  I don't go back to the Dr. for two more weeks.  We go on October 27th which feels like forever away. I will update more then and hopefully all good news. 


Oh I got these cute Halloween decorating things this weekend and wanted to share...

Baby Vines

Well today we are 8 weeks and 1 day along.  We feel so blessed but I'm a little scared.  We had a devastating miscarriage with our first pregnancy at 6 weeks 1 day, in May of this year.  It feels different this time, I feel really good about it this time.  I am doing my very best to try and not get too excited yet, but its hard sometimes.  Because of the previous miscarriage I have already been to see the Dr. twice and had two ultrasounds.  I am seeing Dr. Rupa Goolsby at St. Vincents Hospital.  I really like her, she is very understanding and sensitive to our situation.  The last visit on September 29,2010 went well. She said everything looked great and the baby had a strong heartbeat.  I don't go back until October 27.  We are keeping our fingers and our toes crossed. Praying everyday that our baby will grow up strong and healthy
