Busy, Busy, Busy...





So it's been a while!  I'm sorry!  We've been busy :)  We decided to rip out the carpet in the spare bedroom that we're turning into Gavin's room.  We had to move everything out of there (that includes the computer...) so we set up the computer in our room but didn't hook up the printer...and that's what I use to download the pictures....(my excuse for not updating the blog!!!) Adam just finished the floor today and it looks amazing!  The carpet was stained with Aspen's pee...how lovely right?!  He's (Adam, not Aspen) going to do the trim tomorrow.  We're not sure what's next...we're still trying to figure out if we want to do our bedroom floor or just start buying Gavin's furniture and finish his room.  

I also posted pics of our bathroom.  Adam, that's right, my brilliant handy man, re-did our bathroom as well.  The condo was built in the 80s, so EVERYTHING is outdated.  We've been working on the place since we got married, but it definitely takes a lot of time which we both don't really have since we commute to Seattle for work.  We forgot to take "before" pictures...but I can tell you it wasn't cute.  He did an amazing job and it's beautiful!  Esther has claimed that bathroom as hers and is sad to see "her bedroom" turn into Gavin's.  hahaha... ;)

Last but not least...I'm getting huge.  I really don't know how much more this belly can grow.  It is out of control!!!  It seems like the last 2 weeks, it just got GIGANTIC.  I've gained 10 pounds so far and the doc said I should gain at least 15 more.  Great...  Getting big is a lot harder for me than I thought it would be.  I know it's so worth it in the end, but for now it's kind of hard seeing me just get huge.  Adam has been very sweet though....I'm trying to get past it cause I know I haven't seen anything yet!  haha..on a better note...Gavin is moving around a lot.  He's definitely getting strong and it cracks me up when he's moving all over the place.  Chloe, our pug, loves to lay her head on my belly and when he's moving all over she just pops up and stares at it..then jumps down.  I guess she's not a fan of his boxing skills.  Hahaha.

I also had a doctor appointment last Tuesday.  Everything looks good.  I will go in for another ultrasound in July to see if my placenta is where it should be.  She believes it will be just fine.  Adam and I cannot wait to meet this little guy...

He's Healthy!



Today we had our appointment at UW Medical Center.  We had a LONG ultrasound.  I thought it was going to be Gavin's heart only, but they checked everything.  My amniotic fluid level is normal, the placenta is 1 cm away from the cervix and she's sure it will keep moving up as I get bigger.  She was not concerned about the spot on Gavin's heart. :)  It's a calcium deposit and she's 99% sure Gavin will come out a healthy baby boy.  Thank you for all your prayers.

I'm 21 weeks 6 days along now and am getting BIG.  It seems like I've gotten noticeably large in the last week.  People at work are saying they can tell I'm pregnant now.  It's out of control...I still have about 4 months to go!  

Adam and I are so happy he's healthy and moving around.  Every ultrasound tech has mentioned how he won't stop moving!  Could be a problem once he's born hahaha...but it's so great to see him move a lot during ultrasounds.

I have another appointment next Tuesday with my OB.  I'll update again then!  Have a great week!

Ultrasound Appointment




Hey Everyone...

Today we had another ultrasound appointment to measure my amniotic fluid level.  She didn't tell us anything about my fluid level, so we will have to wait til I hear from my doctor.  The tech did say that it's definitely a boy, he's growing and is measuring normal...so that was a relief :)  His foot has grown half an inch in 2 weeks!!!  Hahaha...I have another doctor appointment on the 19th and will update again when I hear something new :)  

Please continue to keep us in your prayers!
