How did I miss this one!

Anna made me realize that I never officially shared his name! We finally got it, 100% sure!

This baby's name is:

Alexander James Dwight Quinn

Alex or AJ for nicknames!

24wks

My appt. went great today. I've only gained 3lbs this pregnancy so far.. I finally have my appetite back now so I'm sure I'll gain more! I did the glucose test today and should find out next week if there is an issue.

And my 24wk belly picture!

Does a quiet day exist?

What was meant to be a relaxing day turned into a lot of running around.. Katie jumped off the play stuff at the mall last night and hurt her foot. She couldn't walk on it last night and then was the same this morning. No swelling or bruising.. I took her to the doc and they wanted x-rays so to Children's Hospital Close to Home we went. Everything came back normal, but if she is still refusing to walk on it by Monday they want to see her again..

20wk ultrasound pictures... finally...

Here they are, finally taken and uploaded.

I'm feeling much better now.. Despite getting a cold the same day I was in the ER, but it isn't nearly as bad as the last one I had.

Pass the zofran please...

We a long night..

I was sick all day, not sure whether or not it was getting the rotavirus from watching baby Sophie or not, but I went to the ER..

I was so dehydrated that 4 people couldn't get a line in to draw blood and I have really good veins. They were able to get a line for the iv though (which hurt really bad, I couldn't even extend my arm after they did it, but they didn't want to mess with it since it was the only place they were able to get!) so after I had about a 1/2 liter the fifth nurse was able to stick me to get my labs. Everything came back ok.

And I haven't gotten sick since, they put Zofran in the IV as well (why didn't I do this the other two times I was dying from being so sick)..

Poor Brian didn't eat dinner until almost 11:30.. He wouldn't leave me by myself.

My brother taped LOST for us but we were able to catch most of it in the hospital (priorities right?)

Anyway.. I'm feeling better today. I have a script for Zofran that I will fill just in case. I'm still feeling on the weak side so I'm going to chill and be at my Mom's today.. Nothing like being pampered by Mom (yes I know I'm a complete mama's girl).. Hopefully I can eat today..

Wow!

~It's a boy~

I keep saying oh my gosh over and over again. The tech said everything was perfect and asked if we had any names picked out. We said a maybe girl name, and she told us to scrap it because it was a boy!!! Crazy!!!! Brian is over the moon and so am I. Right after the U/S we went and got some little boy clothes!!! Now we just need a name LOL..

Drumroll please..

I met my new doctor and she is absolutely awesome!!! Even though I checked and double checked I was not supposed to get an ultrasound at this visit, because it had to be scheduled separately at the hospital... When the nurse first told me this I was very angry... I couldn't even take in all that she was saying I was so mad.. Then when we got into our room I was a crying mess, though I had calmed down somewhat before the doctor came in. After taking with the doctor she asked about the 20 wk scan and if I had gotten that done and I launched into why I was upset and she said she would take a peek with the not so good ultrasound to see what baby's gender was!! I was thrilled to say the least!

And after looking and looking it's a.......................................

~Surprise~

Seriously, baby had legs crossed, it's bottom completely deep into my pelvis and when it did shift a bit it was to move one leg to get it's hand down there to block!!!!! Dr. Tina said it must be a boy from pure stubbornness as well as the whole hand on the crotch, LOL! Baby's heart rate was 158 and was measuring perfectly for dates..

So the big huge anatomy scan is now on Monday at 11am.. So we don't have to wait that much longer, hopefully baby will be a bit more cooperative and show us the goods!
