"Well you just couldn't make this easy could you?"

No, no I couldn't.  But things have gotten easier.  After a week and a half of being on bed rest I am happy to report I am free!!  I haven't had any bleeding in 3 days so doctor said I could return to normal unless it picks back up again.  I'm still trying to take it easy, but glad to be able to get out of the house, water the garden and get groceries (did I really just say that?).  Unfortunately, doc said it will most likely happen on and off until twenty weeks, but I'm praying he is wrong.  OH!  And in two weeks I'll be able to go on my nightly walks again.  As long as everything is good.  And pray that it is because bleeding while pregnant is seriously scary.  Thank God I got all those ultrasounds to keep me sane. Seeing that our baby was ok meant the world to me. 
Tomorrow I am hitting up the used book store just in case I need supplies again.  And you guys are slacking.....I have no book ideas from anyone!  You all better get on that!  Well that's about it for now, I just wanted to keep everyone updated!

Talk to you all soon!

Weeks have been flying by and our little one is growing and growing.  We got to see the baby twice this last week on ultrasound.  It was kicking and rolling around.  The sweetest thing I have ever seen.  And to be honest....we know the gender...!! AND THE NAME!!   ::gasp:: I know!  We are going to share it with you all very soon, we just want to double check at the 19 week appointment. 

On to some not fun news.  I am bed rested.  That's right folks, it is awful.  I have truly lost my mind.  And pretty sure I have developed restless leg syndrome.  I have been bleeding for about a week now, nothing serious, baby is ok.  But I can only get up to eat and go to the bathroom, to help it slow down and hopefully stop.  Like seriously, why did I have to bleed?!  When it started I was an emotional mess. Thinking this blog post would be an unhappy one.  But here I am, baby is good, I am good.  Doctor says I just need to rest and lay around to not make this turn into something more serious.  I suppose I can handle that...maybe.

Most likely, I will be going back to the doctor this week to get another sonogram (yay!) to make sure everything is ok.  I know doctor is mostly doing this for my sanity, but I appreciate it none the less.  If I get some good pics I will update this week.  OH! And book suggestions would be appreciated.  I am flying through books right now and am on my last one. 

Talk to you all soon!

I have been meaning to update for awhile!  All has been well here, feeling great and doing good!  Today we went to have an ultrasound.  It was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced in my life.  Our little one was kicking and moving around like crazy.  It even was waving its hand, rubbing its eyes, and sucking its thumb.  I cried like a baby through the whole thing and by the end of it I had to pick Chris' jaw up off the floor.  Here are a few pictures...

Baby's heartbeat came at 156 and according to my dad has a "good lookin' heart."  We feel so blessed and so very excited.  It has been an amazing day.  I am sorry for such a short post but I am exhausted!  I will be posting more soon!
