Updates!

Alright, here we go...

On Wednesday we had a dr's appointment and
everything started out great. Then the dr told me
that she thought I might be 3 weeks further along
than we originally thought! What!? Three weeks closer!?
I just went from 7 weeks to 4 weeks till we meet our little one!
She ordered an "emergency" ultrasound to get a better
look at our Baby so she can tell us for sure if we are to
expect this baby earlier rather than later! We had to wait
alllllll week end... and still no call! Then today, the call came.
The nurse said (and I quote) "Hi Crystal this is (I can't
remember her name) from Dr. Byrne's office, I'm just
calling to let you know that the fluid looks great and the
baby looks healthy." Thats it. The end. SO, I assume, that
they are definitely not going to change the due date, but
they didn't say if I was actually any further than they
originally thought! The Technician told us Friday, however,
that she thinks we could be a week further.... I liked
her answer! :o) Brandon still thinks the baby is going
to come the 17th of March, but we will see!
Here is a pic from Friday's ultrasound....



Baby's face!
Also here are some 34 (35?)week belly pics....




Yesterday, my parent's and Brandon's mom joined me
for a 4d ultrasound. Brandon unfortunately had to work
and couldn't make it, I didn't know what his dad was up
to, but I am also assuming he had to work as well! Here
are some of the clearest pics from the ultrasound yesterday...
if you can't tell what they are, my facebook has body parts
tagged so you can get a clearer picture!



foot!


forehead, nose, cheeks



Thumbs up




nose, mouth, and fists



arm!



cheek, chin, puckered lips



cheek, nose, lips

Our first birthing class is Thursday and we are meeting with a
pediatrician tomorrow morning, bright and early! I hope we
like her, Brandon's brother Andrew suggested her! I think
thats all I have for now, I really need to write things down before
I blog, I always feel like I forgot something!

Baby Shower and Belly

So, its been a little while since I last updated...
Lets see here... We had Baby's first shower, I'm now
going on 33 weeks, I have a 4D ultrasound scheduled for
the 15th. Baby is due in just over 7 weeks! We have a
family baby shower scheduled for the 27th and one with the church
scheduled for March 7th. This is real guys, this baby
is coming SOON!
Here are some 32-ish week pics!



I posted all pics from the baby shower on my facebook,
which if you are reading this, you probably got here from my
facebook. It was fun, a lot of people showed up, which was
wonderful! And baby got a LOT of onesies! It was also nice to see
friends who live out of town, update and be updated with friends
whom I haven't seen in a long time, and some wonderful
conversations with everyone!

Yesterday we went out to lunch with Ron from church,
it was a great time! We had some great conversation
with him and it was nice to start to get to know
someone closer to our age from church.... though Brandon
did mention when we were being seated, that everyone would
probably think he was our dad.... But we can't help it that
we look like we are fifteen! ;o) Ron, you don't look old
enough to be our dad, don't worry. I think it was just
the long coat...!

Last night, my parent's threw a Super bowl party. Jason
got off work early, and so did Josh, and Lisa and Kyle came
over maybe a half hour or so before Josh got there. I was thankful
to have people close to mine and Brandon's age there, not that
it wasn't enjoyable with everyone else! I think everyone
enjoyed themselves, and the food was YUM-O! My dad
made his famous ribs and chicken :o) We missed
out on seeing Mark, Lauren, and Owen too! :o( But thats
alright, they had a good excuse for missing out!

Anywho, I think I got everything updated very briefly
and hope you all enjoyed. I will be posting pics as soon
as I can once the ultrasound comes and goes!

Selfish

I caught a blog written by someone whom I don't know
and in it this person wrote "and no one even told me sorry"....
the story told would not require a sympathetic response toward
this person for any visible reason. I found myself rather aggrivated
by this person (side note: olive craving right now) and I kinda
wanted to just go off... pregnancy hormones? Or am I just
responding how I normally would (inwardly) toward someone being
selfish? Not to say I'm not selfish at times, we all can
be. But, I felt so strongly about the unnecessary
pity-party this person was throwing, that I wanted to blog about it.
That it is all.
