here we are again :) he said he isnt getting good pictures of the baby but here you can see the 2 arms and 2 legs. We heard the heart beat this week and it was 170. The dr still wants to check the baby again in 2 weeks. Im not sure why he keeps checking every 2 weeks but hopefully after that I can do my prenatal testing that is needed. Our next apt I will be 12 weeks so i'll be ending my 3rd month.
Our next apt is 3/6 @ 9:15am

Stuff I've been thinking about....

Since we are not planning on finding out the sex ahead of time what im planning on doing is buying both sets boy and girl blanket sets that i want from walmart. Both diaper bags and filling the 2 bags with the appropriate sex oriented stuff in it. I figure that after the baby is home i can go to walmart and return the other stuff that we dont need.

So when chris comes back after the girls nap the next day he can bring in the right bag.

each bag will have the going home outfit. a couple sex appropriate onsies and a couple blankets.

I also dont feel that there is any reason to bring the babies stuff into the hosptial until i know for sure if the baby is going to stay with us ...

you can actually see some of the stuff we have gotten already for the baby..the only things that are missing is the swing, playpen & stroller carseat combo. We have those in our livingroom. The playpen is holding the stuff we aquire until its time to actually hold the baby. LOL... here is that link http://www.flickr.com/photos/amouwful/sets/72157612536305359/

I am hoping that people buy us gift cards to walmart, Target & Kmart so we can buy age & weather appropriate clothing. We have limited storage space for this baby and Im hoping i'll be able to get one of those rolling carts with drawers so I can keep the babies current cloths that the baby will be wearing in it and be able to keep it hidden in the pantry.

I want go do what we did with bethany which was make our own baby food so im hoping to get a food pureer. and some little plastic containers.

Once I have gotten the bags made which wont be til July maybe the beginning of August so I can still return the stuff i'll post a picture online. If walmart sells out of the sets of blankets that I want between now and then I guess i'll choose a different style :( but im hoping they are still available in August.

Week 10

Well, hopefully we have a 10 week old fetus in me :) We have a dr apt on Friday where we hope to see a heart beat and a baby bigger then 7 weeks 3 days. Im pretty sure if we get those 2 things we can consider this a pregnancy that is good to go .... Its so hard and stressful not knowing if everything is going ok. But we have our fingers crossed and Chris says that when we go in on friday we will see the baby has grown and is where she/he should be. So anyhow I will most definately post update on friday as soon as we get home from the dr apt on Friday it is @ 8:15am so hopefully by 9 or so we should know. I have a feeling that if things look ok he might have me do my work up lab work since I havent had them done yet cuz of the problems we have been having. I'll post again on Friday...

Here is my Week 10 Email....

Week 10 Congratulations, Danielle! You're 10 Weeks Pregnant. Your baby isnow officially considered a "fetus." It looks a little like a medium sized shrimp, measuring 1.25 to 1.68 inches from crown to rump, and weighing a little less than two-tenths of an ounce. The most critical part of your baby's development is behind you. But other developmental processes, such as those affecting behavior and intelligence, will continue throughout pregnancy. You still probably don't look pregnant, but you may not be fitting into your regular clothes. The fatigue, moodiness, and morning sickness associated with the first trimester of pregnancy is likely still present, but these symptoms shouldn't last too much longer.

Aquarium Of The Pacific

Well we went to the Aquarium yesturday and the girls had alot of fun. I love watching Bethany get so excited over learning :) she really enjoyed seeing the different types of fish and being allowed to pet the fish also. She got to pet a sting ray, and other fish.
We went to the chilli's there by the aquarium and had ok service, we ordered something we have never tried it was some Crispy Honey Chipotly Crispers. It really wasnt that good...LOL but they do have that awesome Corn on the cob. And then for dinner we drove into lancaster and went by a few steak houses for dinner but there was like a 2hr wait at all the ones we could get to so we chose this mexican resturant. The lady @ the register told my mom and chris the buffet was 4.95. When we go the check they charged us 14.95 and the lady at the registered acted all dumb bout it. So we wont be back there!! that is for sure!!!
anyhow we are looking forward to going to the zoo!!
