14 weeks 4 days: Changes! (Talking to Butterbean)

Wow, 14 weeks and 4 days. Mommy can't believe how fast you're growing! Two weeks--Daddy will take mommy for her blood work and ultrasound. Boy, we can't wait!

Lately, mommy has been feeling a little sick when taking her prenates. So she decided to take them every other day rather than every day. Well daddy didn't like hearing that one bit and told her she  NEEDS TO TAKE THEM EVERY DAY! :0/
The other weekend you and mommy went on the 4 mile Breast Cancer Walk and had a great time. It was a little chilly but worth it. What a great feeling to know you were a part of the 15000 people walking... :0)

Mommy has been catching up on some reading out of the What To Expect, When You're Expecting book and she loves it! More than 1/2 way done. What a great read!

Also, last week she felt the flutters again (makes her so happy).

Ok, back to the 14 weeks. Mommy has grown a lot since the last time she posted. Most people say she's pretty huge to be only 14 weeks, what is normal? Everyone's pregnancy is different. Atleast mommy and daddy know you're doing just fine in that cozy place.

Mommy and daddy are happy when she knows every thing is going well. She loves when daddy rubs her tummy and gives you lots of kisses (it calms her and makes her feel relaxed). Boy, does it feel good.

P.S. Mommy and Daddy love you so much already...we can't wait to see your beautiful face!
And Daddy came home with a surprise for mommy and it made her so happy! (Beautiful white roses)

13 weeks

Today we are 13 weeks. How exciting to know that we are slowly but surely getting closer to the day we see our Butterbean.

Today has been such a lazy day. I wanted to go to the Air Show but didn't want to go by myself. So I decided to stay home, watch movies, and take pics. Here are a couple of pics I took today at 13 weeks.

12 weeks 6 days

It's been a minute since my last posting, sorry!!

Yesterday, I went to the store and bought the Intelligender (Gender Prediction Test)...I was so anxious to take the test but it said I must use morning urine for better results. So I was a little bummed to know I couldn't take the test until the morning. So I sat the box at the bathroom counter so I didn't have to make any stops in the kitchen or anything before using the restroom and possibly forgetting to take it.
This morning, I woke and took the Intelligender test: Pee in a cup, 20 ml syringe, insert into hole of capsule tube, place sticker on hole, swirl for 10 seconds, place on white surface, leave and do not touch for five minutes and the waiting begins. Wait...Wait...Wait...and waiting some more....

♥ ♥

This morning has been somewhat emotional and I've been feeling up and down...So many mixed emotions right now about so many things going on in my life right now. I'm trying to take it all in. Most of all I'm disappointed and hurt with the actions of some people. I'll get over it because I always do.

Oh, I forgot to mention. We went to the doctor's yesterday to check on our butterbean. 12 weeks and 5 days, I gained 8lbs thus far and the doc said that's excellent, no overweight and thats excellent, tummy feels excellent, and blood pressure is excellent. Then we listened to the heart beat which was somewhat hard to find but pitter-patter came through the mic., it was amazing. I just smiled from ear to ear. I was so happy :)

This is butterbean and I at 12 weeks 2 days:

Well, I know you all are anxious to know what the results were for the Intelligender Test I took this morning...The results of the test are.......the baby is a............

BOY  (according to the test)
**Of course, it's just for fun and the test isn't 100% but its pure fun**
Cannot wait until our scheduled ultra-sound at 16 weeks!

Fluttering Little Butterbean

Today I'm 11 weeks 3 days.
 Feeling really good but have been a little sleepy!!
Anywho!! I had the most amazing feeling and I'm sure you all won't believe me...but it's very TRUE!
I know our child is the size of a fig right now, however, I had the most amazing feeling of fluttering in my stomach. It was like a butterfly flapping its wings on my tummy from the inside. I was in complete shock and it tickled me a little  (LOL). I told "Buttercup" that I felt this and he said it may just be gas...It was no gas, I know what gas is and how it feels (EWWW). It was like a feather just tickling the right side of my tummy.
So instead of feeling a little crazy I start my investigation on the internet...To my surprise, I'm not the only mommy that has been feeling this flutter at 11 week. Some have been feeling it at 7 weeks. I feel so much better knowing that it is what I felt and that it was our "Butterbean" being active! I tell you, it is a wonderful feeling that I really can't describe. I've explained it as a butterfly and a feather because I don't know what other visuals I can give you on how amazing it was to know our "Butterbean" is really doing some flips.

I can't wait to see our BUTTERBEAN

11 weeks

11 weeks in the making of "butterbean". How exciting it is to know our little one is the size of a fig. Amazing I know...the little hands will be opening and closing into fists and is already kicking and stretching. Although too small for me to feel I know my little one is growing because no longer can I suck in.
It's so amazing to know that this little "butterbean" is growing every day. I couldn't be more excited and anxious. Just knowing I will have a beautiful family of my own...something to look forward to every day.

Since being at home, I've been watching the Baby Story, Bringing Baby Home, etc. It's a little scary to think about going through everything it takes to have this baby but I will get ready eventually.

So I asked "Buttercup" if he could take a picture of my belly for my 11 weeks.

I hope you all enjoy and I can't wait to see many of you soon.
