18 weeks 2 days :)

Today I am 18 weeks and 2 days pregnant. :) I had a pre-natal appointment yesterday with my new doctor/ nurse. It went really well! I think I am going to like this doctor a lot more than my other one. My blood pressure was good as well as the baby's heart beat, she said it was in the 150's! :) We finally scheduled my next ultra sound for August 8th! Even though that's the day after Jake leaves he just wants to find out when he gets back from his military training, he gets back around the 24th of August! :/. So I'm just going to have my mom and 2 of my friends come with me. On the 8th I will be 20 weeks. I will finally find out what I'm having! :D I hope the baby is in the right position because every time we try and find the heart beat the baby is moving around. haha. Even though I STILL think that it's a boy we will know for sure! :) only 12 more days haha I'm counting down! And then I have another regular pre-natal appointment on August 11th with my doctor. I also gained 5 pounds in the past month! I'm now 109.8 lbs. First time I've gained weight since I found out I was pregnant lol. For symptoms, I don't have much besides having to pee all the time, and I'm starting to get a weird rash on my face :( I'm not sure if that's from the pregnancy or being allergic to something! I hope it goes away soon! and also getting really light headed when I get up. Not much else is new! So I'll probably update next when I know what the sex of the baby is! :) So go guess on my expect net at the top of the page click on the link, anyone can guess :) Anyways Hope everyone has a awesome week! Talk to you all soon! :)

17 Weeks (:

 

17 weeks ^^

I am 17 weeks tomorrow..But close enough lol. Sorry guys I haven't written a blog in a few weeks things have been EXTREMELY busy. First off we are finally moved into our new place and we LOVE it :) That's what I've mainly been busy with was packing and moving! and are finally done! lol, I am also currently in Montana, I left Friday and should be back next Saturday, we are here visiting my Grandma and Aunt. Haha definitely the last trip I will be on for quite awhile. The long 8 hour car rides kill me ha especially after our trip to Seattle! And also I have switched doctors to a different doctor that works in the Meridian St. Lukes instead of the Boise St. Lukes. So all my appointments will be in Meridian but the delivery will still be in Boise which I am completely okay with because they have the level 3 NICU just in case something goes wrong. I'm hoping my new doctor treats me a little better than the last one, cause my last doctor didn't really seem to interested in me or my pregnancy and kinda acted like she didn't care. She was definitely not the person I want to deliver my baby. lol. This morning was the first time I know for a fact I felt my baby move. I was barely awake lol but I felt it. It felt like 2 tiny punches and then I waited but didn't feel anything else after that. It was SO exciting though :) Oh my gosh!! only 3 more weeks and I'm half way done! :D This little one is going to be here before I know it! Since I switched doctors I'm not sure when I'm going to have the ultrasound to tell the gender but I am going to bring it up to my new doctor as soon as I get back at my next appointment and hopefully we can have that scheduled with in the next couple of weeks! I'm so anxious now because I have read that by this time they can usually tell the sex of your baby :D Next month Jake leaves for training :( So time to spend as much time with him as I can! :) And I start school next month as well! Busy busy busy! lol. So if I don't update every week you know why ha. Here's some pictures from my trip below! :) Hope everyone's having a great day., Talk to you on my next update! and ALSO if you haven't guessed the Gender yet, do so now cause I find out in a few weeks! CLICK on the orange box at the top where it says expectnet.com! :) Thanks Everyone!

15 Weeks 3 Days- prenatal update

So yesterday July 6th, 2011, I had a regular pre-natal appointment. Everything looks good my weight was 105.7 lbs. So I 'm not gaining much weight so far from the lil one. And heard the baby's heart beat but the baby kept moving around so it was hard to hear it for a long time. The heart beat was 156 BPM. She also changed my due date back to December 26th.  So I thought since I will be a little over 19 weeks in a month before Jake and my mom leave that the doctor would let me have my 20 week ultra-sound but nope! She said that she won't due it any earlier then the tenth because she wants me to be far along enough that they can tell if there are any medical issues and Jake leaves on the 7th :( So she said that I could due it any time after August tenth. So I was thinking about going when Jake is gone so I can start buying stuff for the baby after I find out the sex and then just surprise him when he gets home, or I can wait until he gets home. I'm not sure what to do yet :/ I was pretty bummed after leaving yesterday. My doctor doesn't really seem to care if we find out the sex or not, so I'm kinda glad that she's not the one doing the ultra sound. On a good note, we got the town home we wanted to move into and are going to look at their 2 floor plans today and get stuff going so we can start moving our stuff in this weekend! :D and in about 4 months I'm going to start setting up the nursery :) And I start school next month so I'm excited about that as well :) Anyways if you have any questions leave me a comment, I'll probably update in about a week or so. And one last thing I got both test results back for the down syndrome test and they came back that I have one in ten thousand chance of my baby having down syndrome which is the best results that they can come out to :D

15 weeks Pregnant

15 Weeks (:

July 5th, 2011- Today I am 15 weeks pregnant. :) Tomorrow I have a pre-natal appointment, with my regular doctor. Just a normal appointment to check the heart beat, my weight, and blood pressure like usual and make sure that everything is right on track! My next appointment will be at 19 weeks and that's hopefully when I will find out the sex. If the doctor makes me wait till I'm 20 weeks, it won't be good because that's when Jake is gone for military training and my mom is gone for work! So hopefully the first week in August I will find out :D So I can go baby shopping while their gone to keep me busy lol. We are moving next week as well so I have started packing stuff in our apartment already! I can't wait to move. We already have the baby crib, changing table, and dresser and they all match :) Ha! I can't wait to actually be able to buy gender colored baby stuff. Earlier today I swear I felt the baby kick. I'm not totally sure though. I heard that it's to early but I also heard from people you might start feeling little flutters on your belly and its the baby. I guess I'll know in a few weeks! :) I also started a pregnancy keepsake journal. I got this book from baby's R us that tracks everything in each semester of my pregnancy so Me or the baby can look back on things that happened. :) ANYWAYS.. I'll update next week!

13 Weeks 6 Days ultrasound

I just had my 11-13 week ultra sound/ blood test today 6/29/11(: The screening was to check for down syndrome and Trisomy 18. From what they could tell everything was normal, now were just waiting for the blood test to come back which takes about a week. It was AMAZING seeing how much the baby had grown in just seven weeks! They couldn't quite tell the sex of him/her yet but the doctor said it MIGHT be a boy. But to not say for sure until my 18-22 week ultra sound. So we get to find out in a month! :D I'm SO SO excited! YAY. ha I have a feeling that I'm going to be going crazy though buying a lot of baby stuff/clothes once I find out the gender. I have another appointment at my regular doctor on the sixth which should just be a usual check up and then schedule my ultra sound for the next appointment in August. She also changed my due date to December 29th 2011, So that set me a week ahead making me about 14 weeks instead of 13. Were hoping for a new years or a Christmas baby now. During the ultra sound the baby was VERY active kicking its feet, moving its arms, and opening and closing it's mouth. We asked the doctor if we could record a video but she said we couldn't for some reason :(  It's so hard to describe the feeling of seeing your child move around on the ultra sound for the first time. (because the first ultra sound you couldn't really see anything.) It is nothing less than amazing! It makes me want to hold and see him/her so much more! :) I can't wait till we get to meet our little one. :) Time couldn't go by any slower now lol. As for symptoms go, I have a little bit of cramping here and there but nothing to bad and thats about it besides being tired a lot but that could be cause there's never anything to do ha and I'm just bored at home. On a side note the God and Country rally was tonight and besides the fireworks being lame! it was good to see a bunch of old friends that I haven't seen in awhile. (: And Me and Jake are going up with a couple of my friends Eva and Bryan to a cabin in McCall to watch the fireworks for the fourth of July. Ever since I went last year, I'm turning it into a tradition now lol. Also with the baby the heart beat was at 156 and the doctor printed off 12 pictures from the ultrasound but I just posted the 3 that I thought were the best so here's little Kaiden or Adellyn at 13 weeks and 6 days!

12 weeks! YAY second trimester.

In Seattle :)

I'm 12 weeks today haha finally in my second trimester where things are supposed to get better. :) I have an ultrasound in 8 days! :D I'm so excited because the last time I got to see my little peanut I was only 6 weeks, and now I will be 13 weeks. The only part I'm not excited about is the blood work ha but I gotta do what I gotta do, I'm kinda starting to get used to the needles lol! Aside from the pregnancy we just got back from a week long vacation in Seattle for five days and right when we got back from Seattle we went to McCall for two days. Yesterday was the first day of being able to come home and relax! Jake went back to school yesterday, lol, so back to me being at home most the time and him being in school. I'm excited to go back to school in the fall even though most of my classes are going to be online because I will still be in school at the end of my pregnancy and I figured it would be easier taking them online than going to class everyday when I'm 9 months pregnant. I also have another doctor appointment with my regular doctor on July 6th! Usually when I don't drink a lot of water I get really dizzy during the day and get bad headaches so its a good reminder to drink water ha. My biggest craving has definitely been cereal! lol, No pickle and ice cream cravings for me ha. This week the baby will develop reflexes and if I press on my belly it will move to avoid it. He/she will also be able to make sucking noises and curl his/her toes. He/she will start moving his/her eyes from side to side as well. So much is going on inside :) It's amazing! Both times that I have had an appointment and checked the heart beat the baby has been on my left side under my belly button. And the baby is about 2.1 inches long and the size of a lime or a plum. :) Oh and it is also mine and Jake's 8 month today :) how time fly's lol. I will update on the 29th when I have my ultrasound and to post pictures! :)

Blog number one! 11 weeks pregnant

Hey everyone! It's Jessie! :) I am currently 11 weeks pregnant and 5 days. I decided to start a blog so family and friends can see whats going on during and after my pregnancy. I'm  18, turning 19 in September, and my boyfriend Jake (the dad), is 21 about to turn 22 next month on July 22nd. We're both college students, and Jake is in the Army as well. We're living in Idaho but plan on moving in a couple years to transfer to a different college. A little about my pregnancy: No this wasn't planned but now that we are going to be parents we could not be more excited! The first ultra sound/pre-natal appointment we had was at St.Lukes in Boise. We found out that I was 6 weeks and one day, and seeing our baby's heartbeat was the most amazing thing in the world. :D  So far we have only had 2 doctor appointments, and have them once every month. I have a screening on June 29 for sickle cell anemia and make sure that there are no deformities and are getting another ultra sound! (I can't wait!) And so far all my tests and blood work have came out perfect! My due date is January 3rd 2012! So were hoping for a new years baby! lol, :) We have already bought some things for the baby like the crib, changing table, diapers, and a diaper genie. We also bought some gender neutral clothes as well. ha. Can you tell we're excited? We're  living in an apartment but plan on moving into a house in 2 months when our lease is up! I can't wait to decorate the nursery! We decided that the nursery is going to be a jungle theme whether its a boy or a girl! :) So I'm hoping we can paint the room. I haven't gained much weight, 2 pounds at most. But because I'm regularly 103 I have a feeling I'm going to get big. I already have a little baby bump. I'm hoping that our baby will be around the seven pound mark. I was lucky that I didn't have ANY morning sickness in the previous weeks, I only had cramping and some nauseousness and no appetite which all these symptoms seem to have faded! We already have our baby names picked out as well, but might change later on. If it's a boy were naming him Kaiden and if it's a girl were naming her Adellyn Rose. :)  Jake picked the girls name and I picked the boys name. I'm hoping it's a girl but either way doesn't matter, as long as I have a healthy baby of course! Oh and on a last note On my first appointment the baby's heart beat was only 109 and then on the second appointment we found out that the heart beat had gone up to 160! :) That's all for now! I will update in a few weeks so keep checking back! :) 

Me at 11 weeks. I'm not as big in person lol I just look big in this picture.

Baby At six weeks!
