My last U/S

So, I had a quick check-up ultrasound on 7/14. Even though it was just a cervical check, she got the belly wand out and gave us a peak at Oliver. He's definitely still a boy!! He's also still breach, which is still OK at this point, but that's definitely why I keep feeling him kick my bladder!




I have another u/s check on Monday (7/28), so if this tech is nice, I'll get another peak at Oliver then too! Otherwise we'll have to wait until my 32 week growth u/s in September.

Long time...No Post!!!

So, it seems I took a little break from posting! There haven't been many updates lately, so I have been lazy!!

Let's see...

Jason, me and the girls went up north for the usual 4th of July Celebration. Here are a few pics!!


Pretty obvious all we did was hang out and play with the dogs!!

On that Sunday, we went to a family reunion for Jason's family. It was a fun day, but I don't seem to have any pics...I know I have some printed off, but I swore someone emailed me a few....

That next weekend, Jason, Terry, Linda and I went down to Greenville, OH for Andy's wedding. Again, another long and fun weekend... as long as I don't have to hear "O" "H" "I" "O" again as long as I live...seriously people...get a life!

OB Check-up this Morning!

I had my check-up this morning! Everything looks good so far! I've gained 12 lbs, which my OB says is right on target! (Which I don't know how since I've been stuffing my face for 4 months now!)

Since I've been sick for almost two weeks, she gave me a z-pack and put me on Claritin, rather than Zyrtec. We'll see if this makes any difference. Hopefully it does!!

Other than that, everything is going well. I have 2 super-quick ultrasounds in 2 and 4 weeks to check my cervical length, and another growth ultrasound at 32 weeks.

I bought Oliver's first outfit at Kohl's yesterday. I was super excited and went to lay it out so Jason could see it when he got home, and I noticed that someone had ripped a hole in it, sewed it back together, and must have returned it to the store. Needless to say, I wasn't very impressed...So...back to Kohl's I go.

Neat Graphic

IT'S A BOY!!!

So, it's finally official...we're having a BOY!!

And not only that....a HEALTHY boy!!

Here are the few pictures we got...


And the money shot:


He's not even born yet and Mom's already posting embarrassing pictures of him!!!

Almost half way there Oliver Daniel!!

Kick, Kick, Kick

So, baby Garrett has been kicking away! I just started feeling it a few days ago. Apparently "he" likes Mountain Dew and pizza calzones from Howie's... :)

Tomorrow's the Big Day!!

So, the day we've been waiting for is finally upon us! I am very excited to find out the sex, but more excited to see a healthy baby!!

Jason and I are considering a baby crib made by the Amish. We figured you couldn't get better quality than that!

This is what it looks like:
Ain't it perty?? :)

It takes about 12 weeks to get it made and sent from Pennsylvania...so we better get on it!

Could it be....a baby BOY???!!!

So...Jason and I went for the u/s today. Everything looked great with baby! The tech found some fluid between the baby and my cervix and had the Dr. check. The nurse called me back a few minutes ago and said that the pregnancy was going "awesome" and the little bit of fluid is just my body "resolving" some things. So, everything looks A-OK!

She didn't say for sure, but she did say that, "That looks suspiciously like a penis!"


I wouldn't buy anything blue that you can't take back yet...but we'll have the BIG scan in 3 weeks :) It looks like we're going to be having a little Oliver Daniel Garrett...he he he.

Here's his Skeletor pic:

Suprise Midnight ER Visit :(

So, Jason and I took a wonderful visit to the OB ward at Sparrow around midnight last Thursday because of some mystery bleeding.

After the Nazi Resident was done torturing me, we left without any kind of explanation. She also insisted that an ultrasound was not necessary because they found the heartbeat on the doppler. They already have the machine in the room next door, it was already 3 in the morning...was it a big deal to check??????

So, Jason cancelled his D.C. trip in case there were any more problems, and we went up north. I was super super sore all weekend and went back to the Dr. on Tuesday...just to wait an hour to be told she doesn't know why I am so sore...BUT at least she thought an ultrasound was a good idea, even if she didn't think we would find anything wrong.

SO...I am starting to feel better today, and I have an U/S scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. We are still not sure why I am so sore...but we think it has something to do with the 2 foot stick the resident was poking me with...(You think I'm exaggerating, but the unfortunate part is that i am not...)

I'm predicting and hoping for a normal U/S tomorrow...and we might even get a peak at the sex :) YAY!

2nd Trimester...WHOO HOO!

So today starts the second trimester! Finally we're out of the "scary" first trimester and ready for whatever Baby Garrett throws our way!
