I can not believe that Christmas has come and gone!! I got my "white Christmas" though. Yeah!! :) We got to spend lots of time with my family. And we will get to see his family this weekend, since Jackie and Kyndall were in Virginia for Christmas.
So, I have had a dream that the baby was a boy. And I had a dream that we had twins! Oh my! lol. Whatever we are having, I am blessed beyond what I deserve. I am just happy to finally be pregnant and have had a wonderful worry free pregnancy thus far.
I know that some people that read this blog are going through the "same" problems that I did. Not necessarily the same medically, but the same as in, you want it so badly and you just don't understand why it hasn't come yet. I know that it is frustrating and upsetting. And you get so annoyed when people ask you when, when when. But I promise, that God has it all under control. He knows when the time is right. He has something special in store for each and every one of you. It is so hard to remember and grasp that sometimes, but it is the truth.
The doctors don't always know everything that they think they know. God is the ultimate doctor! And if for some reason it really isn't meant for you to actually "produce" a child, that doesn't mean that you cant be a mother. There are so many children that do not have families and you could be that child's only hope for one. Adoption is still in our future. As is being foster parents later in life.
This blog is being written for a few reasons. The first being that everyone in my family (that includes my friends) can keep up with me and the baby without me having to call everyone about every little thing. But the most important reason is for encouragement for those that are going through the hardships of trying to conceive. If we aren't there for each other, then who can be? I mean of course our families, and friends and husbands will be, but they do not understand. No one can understand, except for another woman going through the same thing. So, if you ever need to talk, you know where to find me!! Love to all.
And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doctor's appointment
My appointment today went very well. I had only gained 3 pounds, so I am back to the weight I had started at. I got to hear the heart again, it was down to 156. Mom got to go back with me so she could hear it. She was excited. My blood pressure was good. The Dr is very happy that I haven't had any problems. He said I can do what I want and eat what I want, no restrictions (within reason of course).
We go on January 11th to find out what we are having. We will have the "gender release" party on the 15th. Mom ordered the invitations for me today :) I cant wait til they get here. Only 3 weeks and we will find out if we will bringing home a Zoey Olivia or a Jackson Levi!!! Hopefully the weeks will pass quickly!
Its so hard to believe that Christmas is Saturday!!! I am looking forward to the family time though. Levette and I are going to cook breakfast for everyone (mom, dad, Karrie, Kevin) on Christmas Day. I want to start a tradition of it, because I know my parents will come over every Christmas to see the kids' toys. Just like my grandparents did when we were little.
I do hate that my Pappy isn't here though. I miss him so much. I wish he was here to see my baby. But I know that he is watching out for me. I think he had a conversation with God on when the baby should be due. I am certain that he/she will be here on June 2. That was his birthday. He wants me to know just how special this baby is going to be. And to let me know that he is watching over me, no matter how old I get.
OK, well I think that is all I will write today. I don't want to get over emotional. I probably wont be back on before Christmas, so I hope that everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A BLESSED NEW YEAR!!!! AND REMEMBER THAT JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!!

16 weeks!!!
I can not believe I am already at 4 months!! Time is flying by. Yesterday the baby was all over the place. She finally settled down when I took a nap. Everyone got to feel her. (sorry I keep calling it a her. I hate to call it an it.) Anyways. Everyone was so excited about it.
We had Christmas with the Sellers family on Saturday. However, little Ethan apparently had a stomach virus and has given it to everyone!! So, the whole family is sick. So far Levette and I haven't gotten it. Thank God. Hopefully it will stay away from us. Karrie is going to disinfect the house for us.
I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. They are going to do all of my blood work and set up the appointment for THE ultrasound! Finally!!!! Then we can get to work on the nursery!!!
I am totally looking forward to fixing up the nursery and I really cant wait til my shower!
I guess that is all I have to say today. I will blog tomorrow after the appointment!!

14 WEEKS 5 DAYS
I can not believe how fast time is going!!! We have already started talking about the baby shower!! I am super excited about. I am so ready to find out what this baby is!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just a few more weeks........
I am happy that my sister has moved back in town. Unfortunately it isn't under the best circumstances but I am still happy that she is going to be around when the baby gets here.
Not much has been happening. The nightmares have finally went away! Thank you Jesus. I have been sleeping pretty good. I have been having the "round ligament pains". Basically it feels like pains in my ovaries, but its just my uterus stretching (or something along those lines). Its the worst when I am at working, sitting for so long and then I finally stand up. I guess I need to stand up every 10 minutes or something.
And I am almost positive that I have felt the baby moving. I have googled when you are supposed to feel the baby for the first time. Most say 16-20 weeks. But some said that you can feel as early as 14 weeks, but most people think that it is gas. I am like 90% positive that it was Zoey/Levi.
And even though she cant hear, she can feel the vibrations, so I talk to her. She gets very active at choir practice ( again, I think that its her lol)
Oh, gosh! The heartburn!!! I have never had it before so I think that is what it is. It is horrible. This baby better have lots and lots of hair!!!!!!
Its hard to believe that Christmas is just a few weeks away! This time next year we will have a 6 month old!! Crazy. We have a party this weekend at our house. My office party is Monday. The Sellers party is next Saturday. We also have a family photo shoot. And the Christmas cantata is Sunday. Needless to say, we are going to be pretty busy the next few weeks!
Well, I guess that is all I have to write about this week!!! Talk to you again soon!!!
14 weeks :)
