Babymoon

Bobby & I just got home from our mini-babymoon in Siesta Key. We had such a lovely time. We booked everything last minute, but it worked out great! We got some amazing deals, even with it being Spring Break. We stayed at the Tropical Sun Resort by Crescent Beach! Our room was amazing, large King bed, flat screen TV, full kitchen and a jacuzzi tub! It was perfect. We arrived on Saturday morning, to a beautiful day....we played in the pool, ate pizza from a local pizzeria, and played on the beach. We went to dinner at the Hub on Saturday night and Bella Roma on Sunday in the Siesta Key Village. Enjoyed ice cream from Olaf's. On Sunday, when the weather wasn't as perfect, we went shopping at the Ellenton Outlet mall and picked Mya out some cute outfits. In the afternoon, we walked the beach and played in the pool again. We even saw a wedding party taking photos! It was nice! It was a very romantic weekend! I highly recommend taking a babymoon....

6 months Pregnant

Wow! I've grown a lot this last month! I'm finally in the final trimester and am very excited!. Bobby and I have decided on our daughter's name: Mya Noelle Rogers! We can't wait to meet Mya! She is moving around in the evening especially after dinner. Bobby has been working hard on her nursery and we are expecting carpet in the next couple of weeks.

6 months Pregnant -Entering into 7 mo/Final Trimester

I am now 28 weeks along and had my glucose test today. I actually did pretty well with it and the sugary drink was very sweet (it kind of hurt my teeth) but I chugged it. After about an hour they draw your blood and this is where I usually have the difficulty. Thank God for a great nurse, she was so fast that I barely knew I had a needle in my arm. The glucose tests lets the Dr know if I have high blood sugar and need to take the 3 hour Glucose test (which I hear is horrible). The reason for the tests are to ensure that I don't have Gestational Diabetes which sometimes can occur in pregnancy. I hopefully passed this test and should find out in a few days if I didn't. Keep your fingers crossed because I really don't want to go thought the 3 hour test. However, I've read that between 15-23% of pregnant women fail this test and need to take the 3 hour test to confirm.

I am now seeing the Dr. every 2 weeks and she said the baby sounded great. She took measurements, but I can't recall what she said (pregnancy memory, lol). I've gained some more weight and was given the talk, so I will have to be a little better behaved and maybe add a little more exercise to my life. Kudos to Bobby who did not rat me out, since he knows my everyday diet and has been there during my splurges :) Thanks honey! My next Dr. appt is on the 21st and our 4D ultra sound is on the 20th! We will post photos.

5 Months

Here I am at 5 month's preggo! So exciting...my belly is getting so big! I just had my OB appt on Monday, Feb 8th and all is well. Baby's heart beat is in the 140's so she is moving around quite nicely. Bobby is working hard on our nursery. We registered at Babies R Us, Target and Baby Depot (at Burlington Coat Factory) last weekend. We also registered for a labor & delivery class at the end of the month. I will fill you in once we complete it.

21 Weeks Ultrasound Pics-2/16/10

We're having a...

So yesterday I had to see the dr a bit earlier than what I had planned. Everything is fine and the dr. said to just be careful, don't lift anything too heavy and drink plenty of H2O. Since we were there, they went ahead and did the ultrasound and and Bobby and I are so excited to announce that we are having a baby girl!!!! Also, the baby is measuring at her expected due date (which is rare, they are usually a bit off). Her heart beat was 143 and she looks very healthy. I'll post ultrasound pics later.

End of 4th month-18 weeks

This weekend I celebrated my 30th birthday and I couldn't have been happier. I feel very fortunate to have a loving husband, a great family and circle of friends and to be expecting our 1st baby. I think the timing is perfect, as we begin this new chapter of our life. I feel that I am as ready as I think I'll ever be. It's amazing but this week, my belly just decided to pop out more, I've been slowly gaining weight and feeling thicker, but now I can definitely see a belly!
