8 Week checkup

Well, we had our 8 week check up yesterday and everything looked great! At our 6 week visit the Dr. said the baby was about 4 days behind in growth, but he wasn't worried. Yesterday he said the baby had caught up and was right on schedule. The heart beat was 181 which he said was really strong and healthy. Zach was at the appointment with us and he saw the heart beat and said "What is that, is she having a party in there! It looks like she is dancing!" We were all laughing so hard. After this visit it puts my mind at ease a lot more. We are still not out of the woods but everything looks to being going good. Now I just wait to hear from my Dr. in California. I had more blood test ran yesterday, so hopefully I will be able to quit some of the medication that I am on. I am still taking two shots in the butt and a wonderful suppository!! HA HA. So hopefully my blood test will show great results so I will be able to quit something!!! I go back to the Dr. in two more weeks, so I will keep everybody updated on what is going on. That is all for now I will talk to you all later.

2 and a half men

Zachary, Grandpa, and I went golfing today at Willow Valley. It was windy and a little chilly but we all gave it a go. Zach did well hitting the ball for the first 4 holes then lost his swing for the next 3 before regaining form. When he was finished it looked like he played a soccer game because his shoes and pants had mud all over them. He has yet to find a mud hole or puddle not to his liking. All in all we had a good time. I look back at the times when I played with my grandpa and smile. I hope he does the same one day.

9 years and counting...

4/18 Traci and I have been married for 9 years now!!! The last 9 yrs have gone so fast...lets recap. Got married, bought a home, had Zach, sold house, moved, built house, and now awaiting a baby girl. Forgot to mention Traci's 10 job changes in between :) We have been to Hawaii, Denver, San Diego, Las Vegas, ect, ect. The only thing unchanged is our love for each other. I love you. Congrats to us. From your loving and extremely handsome husband.-Travis

First Ulta Sound

Well, we had our first Ultra Sound today. Everything turned out good. We saw the heart beat for the first time. So there is really something in there this time!!! I had some more blood test done to make sure that my levels keep going up. My doctor said that it was to early to tell if there was one or two baby's, he wants me to come back in two weeks to have another ultra sound done to check and see if he could see anymore!! We are excited but we are still being cautious about everything. After everything we went through the last time it is hard to get really excited. We went through so much the last time I just don't want to get to excited and then everything to come crashing down again. That was really hard to deal with. Once I get out of my first trimester I will feel a lot better. That is all for now I will post again soon.

First Ultra Sound Appt.

Well, Monday I have my first ultra sound appointment. Hopefully then we will know if there is one or two. I would love to have twins since this is it, but Travis of course is praying for one. As long as things continue to progress the way they are I will be happy. I had blood test done last Friday and my counts came back great! Thank goodness because some of the counts a few days before were a little low. So I will try ,Donna and Linda, to post all the info. on Monday. My appointment is not until 3:30 so you have to give me some time after that.

Easter

Well, we had a great Easter. We went and had breakfast at my mom's in the morning, and then we went out to John and Linda's for dinner. As always Zach made out with Easter gifts. He had a great time hunting for Easter eggs. He found one egg with $5.00 in it. Nothing else that exciting.

PREGNANT!!!

Well, we found out on Monday that I am indeed pregnant. We won't have an ultra sound done for a few more weeks though. We are trying not to get to excited until we make into the clear at about 12 weeks or so. I am looking foward to the 10 week mark, when I can stop taking all of these SHOTS!! It is for the best though, it keeps everything going nice and strong. I will update as things progress.
