Its...a .....

Friday night I had a scare. Had enough bleeding to freak me out and we headed to the ER. Baby is fine. I have a bladder infection, my 1st one so I had no idea. I am feeling decent. Still getting sick here and there, but enjoying feeling some movement!


oh also.... its a BOY :) Just as I suspected! Hubby is beyond thrilled!

So now the name game begins!

Nathaniel Griffin (we both love Nate and I have mentioned before how much hubs likes Griffin)

or

Jared James (we both love Jared too, and James is his brothers middle name, and it keeps us going with the J thing) (Jamison and Jackson)

what do you think?

ahhhh BOOO!

Wow I hadnt realized it had been SO long since I posted. I read your blogs daily, but never have the chance to comment. Work is way busy these days. Which is a good thing. I am counting down the days until maternity leave LOL!

I am 16 weeks now. Finally am over the puking! Ahh such a good thing. Still down a few lbs from pre-preg weight, which is awesome! I am hoping to not gain anythign until at least 20 weeks! I have my next appt next Tues and then can make the appt to find out the sex of the baby. I had a 1st tri scan at 14 weeks and she guessed boy...but said she wasnt certain. My belly is BIG already. Its amazing how #3 can pop out so fast! I will have to post a picture soon.

I have the nursery all picked out....not what I posted below...but super cute.

I braved Toys R us on black friday and got the kids mostly done. I have some stocking stuff to get and one more steal a gift for my family exchange. We went Sat and got our tree, decorated it and the house. I LOVE IT! Makes me happy!

We did some family pics on Sat night. I posted a cute one of my kiddos, still waiting on the ones of the four of us to get done.

Have a great week!

baby bedding and other goodies

So since we were done we had gotten rid of most of our baby stuff. We basically have a crib, rocking chair, monitor and an exersaucer for later on. I had JUST sold the bedding I used for my daughter about a week prior and the day before I found out I sold our pack n play to my daycare lady.

Fortunatly my bff has 2 kids, boy and a girl, almost the same age as my kids has saved EVERYTHING! She is coming through big time. Swing, pack n play, bathtub, breastpump, travel swing (like we will be able to afford to go somewhere LOL) A gal at church sold me her stroller, infant car seat and 2 bases for 20$! Thats an awesome deal and its gender netural!

P told me if I waited to find out the sex I could decorate the baby room however I want, there is no way I can wait that long to decide on some sort of room decor. I am in love with brown...and cream... I found this bumper and bed skirt at target. Thinking it might work, however are polka dots to girly? I would then add in more colors once the baby is here.

Names...

so we are not finding out this time what the sex of the baby is. NOT by my choice..but I am giving in this time.

P is dying to name a boy Griffin. I just CANT get into that name at all! I would love to name a little girl Stella since it was my moms first name, he hates it LOL!

At this point the boy names seem to be Nathaniel (probably the winner), Vincent (my brothers name) or Jeremiah (sticking with the J theme we have going on with the other two kids)

for girls...we were thinking Naomi, then P mentioned Ashton. Which after growing on me I am loving it. I LOVE Ashton Layne.....P likes Ashton Elizabeth.

What are your thoughts on Ashton for a girl? I like it spelled Ashtyn better, but with Layne I think its toooo many Y's.

Luckily we have 30 more weeks to figure this out!

Puke, Puke and more Puke

I am still sick, still fighting off the pukes everyday ALL DAY!

I went last week for my appt. Doc said I can take one more zofran a day, so that is helping but I am so tired of feeling like POO! My due date is May 19th.

Same symptons I have had with both kids, nausea, puking, constipation and some crazy heartburn. I am hoping it goes away faster than it did with my other two.

I have lost 2lbs. Doc was fine with that, he would like me to only gain 15-20 tops. I gained 45 with my daughter and 35 with my son. So I am going to keep walking and keep trying to eat as healthy as I can!

Salad

so thats my craving right now. Salad of any kind!

Wednesday I had Caesar for lunch and a green salad with black beans and steak for dinner from Chipotle. Thursday I had another caesar for lunch and then a green salad for dinner with cucumber, red onions, olives and oil and vinegar. Today I am thinking something with chicken!!

I am a HUGE coffee drinker....now even the smell makes me GAG. Which is good, useless calories!! I am back to drink large quantities of water and slowly cutting out my soda.

I am taking the generic for zofran which is helpful. Its a 12 hour pill, but only works for about 4 hours. But those 4 hours are wonderful! My insurance will only cover 12 pills at a time so I will be visiting Walgreens alot. Although that reminds me they just opened a CVS right by my house...might be time to check that out!

My daughter just turned 4. She has asked several times for a little sister. I have told her several times there will be no more babies..she has a brother and that is that. LOL So when we told her the other night..the first words out of her mouth were "SEE I have been telling you I wanted a little sister" So I hope for her sake its a girl.

I have 3 cake orders and an order for 30 cake balls to finish up tonight for tomorrow. Two are for my best friends kids and we will going to their party tomorrow. Princess and Spiderman! Should be fun to make!

Well there ya go....

I'm back, I know I said that a few weeks ago, but as you can tell had a little surprise pop up!

We went from being done...a few weeks away from the big vasectomy to PREGNANT!! I was on the pill so I think I am due May 17th. However my Doctor said I was feeling smaller more like 5 weeks so he put me down for May 24th. I will have an u.s in a few weeks to find out for sure.

I am scared, nervous, excited, worried, you know all the emotions that come with being pregnant. This time sadly I weigh more than I have getting pregnant with either kid. Fortunately/unfortunately I get SICK AS A DOG when prego and not just for a little bit, like for weeks...months!! I am averaging about 3 trips to the bathroom a day, doesn't matter what or when I eat.

So for the net chunk of months I will use this blog to keep myelf in check...and NOT gain 45lbs like I did with my other two.

I hope some of you come back and read...I got a new computer at work and am able to read blogs easier again, so I am coming to check up on you!!!
