17weeks and 2days

Things are going really great. We had our doctor's appointment last friday and everything looks good. The baby's heartrate was 154. Unfortunately, we were unable to find out the sex of the baby. Which is probably a good thing because we have been tossing back the idea of letting it be a surprise and obviously the baby liked that idea. The baby spent most of the ultrasound time curled up in a ball. Thankfully everything looked great. Baby weighs right around 6oz and seems to be right on track. We go back on Sept. 12th for another round of tests and ultrasound. I told my nurse that I don't care how much blood they draw (and I'm not an easy stick) or how many tests they run as long as I get an ultrasound with my visit I will be a happy mom-to-be.

I promise to post the ultrasound pictures tomorrow evening. I left them in my planner at work and will need to scan them at home.

As far as cravings, I have been craving PBJ sandwiches with baked Cheetos. I could probably eat this for lunch and dinner if people let me I've also been craving the sweet cornbread. Poor Scott is not a big fan of the sweet cornbread but he is wonderful about letting me fix a few times during the week. I've also fallen in love with cranberry juice......I think it's the sour taste that I love so much. So...far that about it. I still cant touch chicken or cereal & milk. But I'm learning to work around those issues right now.

The Baby Bedding

Here's the baby bedding we have chosen for the nursery. I'm so excited and I can't wait to order and have the nursery set up. Of course we're not going to order everything in the picture but we are going to order the crib set, some of the artwork as well as the mobile and a few other pieces to complete the nursery. I'm crossing my fingers that the nursery will be set around the first of November. Hope everyone likes the bedding!!

12week ultrasound pictures

Here's Baby Corbitt just relaxing and having a great time!!
I'm sure you all ready tell that Baby Corbitt is going to have some attitude when he/she is coming into this world.
And a final profile shot of Baby Corbitt. I'm so excited about the next ultrasound pictures. I can't wait to see how much our baby has grown and what kind of attitude will be showing that day.

13weeks down....

Ok....As you can tell it's been awhile since I last posted. I think I'm beginning to hit the honeymoon stage of the pregnancy. I've regained quite a bit of my energy which is why there's a lack of posts. Scott and I have been trying to accomplish quite a bit during the weekends while he's home. I've also been pretty busy at work with the end of the month numbers. I'm only having a few days where I'm not feeling good but I think that mostly has to do with my sinus problems. I'm still not having any really strong cravings but I'm sure that time will come.

The doctor's apt on July 25th went very well. Our ultrasound tech is absolutely wonderful. I think she spent at least 15minutes with us watching the baby move and taking pictures. The baby's heart rate was 167 and leads many people to believe it's going to be a little girl. But I have a different feeling. I can't really explain it but I just do. Scott and I think our group is due for little boys. (Plus baby Simpson #2 is going to need a playmate since our group is surrounded by little girls.) But we'll have to wait and see. Scott and I still want to wait and not find out what the sex of the baby is until the due date. But I'm not really sure if we'll be able to hold up to the pressure. Our next doctor's appointment is going to be Aug. 22nd and we'll be 16weeks 6days along. I guess we'll make a true decision in the waiting room. We're trying to make gender neutral decisions for the nursery and the bedding which actually works pretty well with our style.

Once the problem with uploading pictures is corrected I will download the ultrasound pictures and the pictures of the bedding.
