Whoa Baby!!!!

We had another ultrasound today to measure how big our Reagan is getting , I would say our little Reagan but that is clearly not the case!!! We came in and Dr. Moore started with her head - which she is still head down - so that was a good thing - HOWEVER, as soon as the size of her head was on the screen - I thought my eyes might pop out of my head. I am technically 33 weeks - well her head is measuring at 37 weeks !! Then he went to her stomach which again is measuring at 37 weeks - so at least she is proportioned. He then checked again to make sure it was a girl (only because I ask him to do this every single time we do an ultrasound) and he said yup .. 100% a girl - no doubts! He then measured her femur which is measuring at 35 weeks. He said that everything looked good - she is just a BIG girl !!! He went over somethings about having her "naturally" - and how because she is so big she might get her shoulders stuck some how - and sometimes when they are measuring this big, that it's better to have a C-Section.

So - after the ultrasound - we went over and talked to the midwife (Lisa.. who I love) and she just went over some of the same things that Dr. Moore did - how C-Sections can be better on such large babies. She seemed kinda relieved when we both were OK with the idea. She had said how some women get so hung up on the "experience". I just wants best for her and myself... but mostly for her. The recovery off a c-section tends to be a little longer she said - but I'm sure that can vary from case to case. I have known people that are just fine afterwards.. so we will see. We have pretty much said it's going to be May 11th - but will know for sure on April 27th.... we go AGAIN for another ultrasound - and as long as she is measuring big still (which I don't see why she wouldn't be) - they will go ahead and set a date up. But, it really sounded like a C-section is in store for us !

I go again on the 15th of April - just for a regular visit - check her heart and measure my stomach again.. and like I said - we will go again on the 27th for a ultrasound! But, looks like everything is going good there -- she is just baking away and getting plump for her arrival.

Other then that - there is really nothing new to report. Mine and Dustins work are going good - Dustin will start softball next Tuesday the 7th!!! I'm sure I can post some pictures!! Thanks for reading - and hope everyone is doing good !!!!!

Our Sweet Boy!

Before this entire blog fills up with everything about Reagan, we thought we would share some picures of our furry baby! He is our little Gizmo who we love so much. He has been the "practice baby" for Dustin. He is constantly holding him like a baby... Gizmo use to fight it, but now is so use to it!! We love our sweet Gizmo.. and will always remember he was our "original" baby!!!!

We're Getting There .......

The first one is at 5 weeks, the second is at 20 weeks, and the last is at 32 !!! Almost done !!! Yay.

New Carpet !!!!

So yesterday was the big day !!! New carpet... FINALLY.

Well the day did not start out so great! Tuesday night we took down everything, moved furniture around and unplugged all the electronics. We were TOLD that someone would be calling us in the morining to give us a heads up on what time they would be here - WELL... at 11 - no one had called - so I told Dustin to call Empire and see where they were. Well - they make up some excuses and say that we have been pushed to Thursday and they won't be here. WELL.. This was NOT happening. As you can imagine I was just a tad mad -- but, I decided to let Dustin handle it - I was in the middle of my Dr.'s appointment anyway. So - after talking to managers and so on - we had a group of installers coming out in an hour from then! I was much happier. So they came around 2ish - and got straight to work. All I can say is EWWWWWW...... our old carpet was SO gross.. and REALLY thin. I knew it was cheap builder carpet, but .. I thought it was a little better then what was coming up. They then laid our new carpet which is so thick and soft ! I LOVE it! It feels so good on your feet - so comfy! We talked and talked about this purchase and we knew it was something big to do before Reagan is here, but we are so glad that we did. I'm sure Reagan will be happy with it too!!! ; )
Speaking of - Wednesday was also a Dr. appointment - which went fine. It was just a normal check up make sure she was moving good and check her heartbeat. They had a hard time finding it this time - although, suprisingly I was not flipping out when they had a hard time - I feel her move all the time and she was just moving around on the drive down!! I knew everything was OK - but it was a little relief when they found it. It was between 130-140 .. nice good strong heartbeat!!! My dr. just said she was moving around so much --and that she was an active little girl! So that was good. They gave me some more reading material on delievery and all my options, they gave me some papers on filling on a birth plan - I don't know how much they really go by that anway - but I'll fill it out if they want me too.
After my appointment I went over and saw mom and the hospital! We went and had lunch with some of the girls she works with -- its so nice to see everyone , I'm so glad that she gets to work with such great people. They are all so nice and funny!!!
After lunch I came home where the installer were on the way here.... from here on I guess the story starts at the beginning of this post !!!
Overall it was a good day - Dr. appoinment went well and the carpet is in !!!!! So thats all the matters !!!! Will update again soon -- next appointment in Monday the 30th -this will be another ultrasound and measure of how big she is !!!!

New to Blogging !!!!

I have finally decided to sit down and create a blog. I have noticed that many of my friends have these and it's always nice to sit down and read about whats new in their life. So I thought I would give it a shot.
Most interesting is Reagan. Her room is completly done. Which I have decided is a good thing and also a bad - its nice knowing that if she were to come early everything is ready and she is set to go - but at the same time, it's making the time go by soooo slow. Walking by her room everyday gives me a sense that all that's left is her arrival. There is absolutly nothing that needs to be done. Dustin and myself went a little crazy and just went ahead and bought everything... well most everything - some stuff was given to us from friends and family; so there is no shopping to do, no painting, nothing. Sometimes I just like to go in there and sit, thinking what it's going to be like in 9 more weeks.
We have an appointment this Wednesday (March 18) for a check up. No ultrasound this time, just a check on her heart and measure my stomach (which is always flattering) Our last appointment was an ultrasound which she was measuring a little big ... no suprise there; but they are going to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't get to large. They said if she starts to get to big they will go ahead and induce me early .... which is sounding better by the day. I can't complain to much - it's really not to bad - I love feeling her kick and move around all the time. . Its really neat. Now, on the other hand, the bladder punches, kicks, twist -- whatever she is doing in there .. well , on my bladder, is not the most comfortable. I'm up most of the night - either trying to get comfortable or peeing a million times. That part I will say I'm COMPLETLY over. But, I guess its preparing me for the sleepless nights ahead.
Also on Wednesday is such an exciting day - we are getting new carpet installed (thank goodness) we just have the "builder" carpet in here now and after 3 years it's ready to go. Reagans room, the hall, and our bedroom is really not that bad - but the living room has got to go - and that makes it worth doing the entire house over!! We ended up going with Empire - who actually had the best price, hopefully, fingers crossed everything will go smoothly on Wednesday. We got a cream/tan"ish" color frieze style carpet - it actually has all kinds of colors in it - but mostly tan"ish" colors. It's really pretty and super thick - we'll see how it goes Wednesday- hopefully I can post (or try to at least) some pictures of it.
We're trying to get some projects done around the house before Reagan comes. The carpet was defintly one to be done; I would also like to paint the 1/2 bath downstairs and make sure the yard is back to where it was last spring. Besides just trying to organize the house - that's pretty much all that needs to be done (guess it's really not that much.. ) hm.
Well - thats really it for now - hopefully I can update Wednesday with good news from the appointment and carpet people !!!!!!!
