29 Weeks

The Ultrasound was perfect! The previa is gone and mommy is growing bigger and bigger! I can't believe how soon you will be home! Mommy, Daddy, and big brother are so excited to meet you!

Wow 27 weeks!

Only 10 weeks until full term and about 12 until we get to meet you! Time really is flying by. You actually let daddy feel you kick which was awesome since big brother was so stingy with the kicks :)  We had our Ultrasound last week and got to see your little face, hoping to have good news when we talk to doctor in a few weeks.

25 weeks!

Well Liam you have your official nickname! Little Tank. I love how picky you are about having anything around my tummy. You seem to be doing amazing in your cozy little place. Though momma could use.a break from the constant pushing on my pelvis OUCH. I am getting so excited to meet you! Only 14 more weeks until the tentative delivery date.

20 weeks already!!!

Our appointment with the doctor this week went OK. Mommy has to slow down a bit, but you look amazing!! Daddy got to hear your heartbeat for the first time and in 6 short weeks we get to have another ultrasound to take a look at you and mommy.  I can't believe how quickly time is passing. Its almost time for the holidays to start up. Thanksgiving, you finally joining our family, and then a week later your first Christmas.

It's a BOY!!!!

I can now officially call you by your own name!!! Liam Edward Perz we love you. I am so excited that you are going to be a little brother to Jared!! You looked beautiful on the Ultrasound and were so calm compared to the way Jared was. Though it seems you don't like pictures LOL.

16 week appointment

  The appointment was awesome! Mommy lost another 2 pounds which doctor says is just fine. We got to hear your heartbeat today it was 150! You are moving all over the place and being such a good little wiggle worm. Its almost time to find out if you are our little boy or little girl!! Its been really hot so Mommy doesn't get to go out and walk as much. You seem to love the beef and hate the sweets. Mommy's morning sickness is gone but the super sniffer is still there. You don't like when big brother hugs and lays on you and start kicking like crazy its very funny!

First baby appointment!!!

Today Mommy and Big Brother Jared got to see you! You are such a wiggle worm. Got all my tests done today and we wore ourselves out! Daddy wasn't able to come today but he is going to try to be there next time. I can't wait to see you again. I have lost 2lbs in the last month and a half but finally the Morning Sickness is going away, as long as I avoid the yucky smells and sweets. I am getting so excited to find out if you are going to be a little boy or girl and so relieved that there is only you and not more than one :) Mommy was really worried about more than one. Right now my gut says YOU are going to be another little boy. We have to wait a while to find out though.  Hopefully next time I go see the doctor we will get to bring home some pictures of you to save. I love you wiggle worm!

What I am feeling: 
    I have been having real weird dreams when it comes to boy or girl. Last night the dreams were one girl and the other was boy. Real confused here. I am looking forward to your anatomy scan at 20ish weeks to find out! Did the Ring test and got both results, still going to try the baking soda and red cabbage tests to pass the time until we can find out. 
   Baby I think I might just show with you. My tummy is already starting to grow, I'm loosing my waist, maybe before 30 weeks this time.

Dreams

Dear child of mine, 
      I love you and I love your Daddy but OMG enough with the twin dreams. I can't believe the amount of dreams I had last night once I finally fell asleep. I kept waking up at the U/S reveal when they said twins. Not the best way to get a restful night of sleep I must say. Could I really be pregnant with twins? Guess we still have a long time to wait since I am only 5weeks and 5 days.

The "Ring" Test

  Yes I know its a wives tale but its fun! You tie a string about 12 inches long to a ring. Hold over your stomach and wait. If it starts swinging side to side its a girl! If it goes in circles its a boy! I have also heard the opposite and truly I don't hold this a "true" but its fun anyway. UNLESS... It does both. First the ring started doing the circles! I would love a little boy! But then to my shock it stops and swings back and forth... OK what the heck does this mean?!?!?! Of course Jeff wonderful and funny guy that he says, maybe its twins! OMG I didn't want to think about that! I have a good chance as I have twins on both sides of my family. Now I am getting anxious about my appointment with my OB at 11wks and 5 days. I would be happy with a boy (Liam) or a girl (Deirdra?) and yes even with twins. Waiting until 20 weeks for the gender scan is going to be AGONY!

A new baby is on the way!

  Even though we were not expecting this baby Jeff and I couldn't be happier. We were trying for a while and had finally decided that we were OK with just Jared. I set the appointment to go in and get permanent birth control. I was finally OK with not having a sibling for Jared to grow up with.  

  On April 12th I was late for my period but didn't think anything about it since my cycles had been messed up for quite a while. That night I had a dream that I took a test and it came back positive in seconds. When I woke up I couldn't fall back asleep. I mean really! So I had a test sitting in the cabinet left over from when we were trying to have another. So I took it. It came back negative and I was finally able to calmly fall back asleep. No worries! Jeff and I were only together once and it wasn't "the right time of the month". On the 16th of April I noticed that my hair had stopped falling out and when I measured for new bra's I was much bigger busted than just a few weeks prior. So when grocery shopping I picked up a single test to take in the morning. My appointment was April 18th so I wanted to be reassured. Morning of April 17th I take the test and well there was no denying the results. Positive. I made Jeff look at it to make sure I wasn't imagining it. I did the math and I must have ovulated extremely late in my cycle because I got pregnant 5 days before my period was due. Giving me the Due Date of December 23rd! A Christmas Baby! I will admit I am praying for a boy but I will be happy with whatever I am given.
