Pep Rally!!

The school had a Pep Rally on Thursday prior to the Maroa-Forsyth game. Alex and Seth had a good time playing and cheering for the Bullets while the team finished up practice before the Pep Rally.

9 1/2 Weeks Pregnant!

If you look at this one upside down you can kind

of see the baby's face and a little hand on the chin.

Today we headed back to see Dr. Galle. Daddy was able to sneak out of parent/teacher conferences for a little while. I know he was thrilled to have any excuse not to be at school, but getting to see our little one again was a perfect excuse!

Baby looked great again today. The heartbeat was 175 beats per minute and is measuring right on schedule. I managed to have lost 5 lbs since Monday. I think it's primarily because the swelling in my ovaries has reduced significantly and other parts are moving better than they have in the last few weeks (if you get my drift!) So, Mommy had Daddy stop at Dairy Queen on the way home for a Butterfinger blizzard, just a small one! It was delicious!!! We head back next Thursday morning for another check up. Dr. Galle took me off another one of my meds today and says next week we may stop another one!! So excited to not feel like a little old lady with my pill box full of pills!!!

On a different note. . . today is Veteran's Day. What a blessing to have so many people that are willing to give their time and some times their life to protect our country and all the people in it. Thank you to all who have served and particularly the families who sacrifice so much when their loved ones are away serving!! God Bless the Veterans and the USA!!!!

9 Weeks Pregnant!!

This morning I called the Dr.'s Office and they told me to go ahead and come in to just ease my mind. Dr. McCrae spent tons of time showing us our perfectly forming little angel!!! I've never been so relieved in all my life to see that little heart beating!!!! We were able to see little arms, fingers, legs, and toes!!!! It was truly amazing!! The little one showed off a few tricks for us and crossed it's little legs and even gave us a little wave and measured at about 2.44 cm. God is truly so good!!

It's been a really rough road for Mommy, but I keep telling myself I will feel like crap and do whatever I have to if that means we can have a healthy and happy little baby!!! The other good news is that my ovaries are finally starting to reduce in size. Dr. McCrae couldn't really tell if the bleeding had been from a ruptured cyst or just the placenta burrowing into the uterus. I'm on bed rest all this week, but go back on Thursday for my regularly scheduled appointment with Dr. Galle.

A Little Scare!!

Last night amongst all the playoff excitement and celebration, I could tell I had pushed myself entirely to hard that day. I had been on my feet all during the game and held Alex (which I'm not supposed to be doing), and then come home to host a rather large party.

It was almost midnight and nearly everyone had left. I was going to get ready for bed and went into the bathroom and realized I was bleeding pretty heavily. Adam and I called the Dr and by time they had called back about 10-15 minutes later the bleeding had significantly slowed down. After talking with Dr. McCrae she had determined that more than likely one of the cysts on my ovary had ruptured. She told me I needed to resume bed rest and call if anything changed.

I've layed around all day today, but think I'm going to call the Dr. in the morning to see if I can come in just to make sure everything is OK. I'm sure I'm being nervous nelly, but I just want to be sure that our little one is doing OK, and I think Daddy agrees too!!

Mission Accomplished!!

The one loss we had this year in football was to Auburn, by two little points!!!! We had a chance at redemption on Saturday when we played Auburn in the Sweet Sixteen of the 2010 playoffs. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and the game ended in a 31-15 victory for the Bullets!!! It was all smiles for the entire Bullet team and coaching staff, and Mommy and Alex too!!!

We had what I thought was the coaches and their families over for a celebration and it ended up being a small frat party with close to 40 or 50 people there!! Craziness!! It's so great to have a home we can celebrate in and share with friends!!! This Saturday we play Maroa-Forsyth at home!! Go Bullets!!!

8 Weeks Pregnant!!

Today I went to see Dr. Galle again. I've gained a pound this week, and my belly is starting to show a little bit. It's amazing how in one week this little baby can grow and change so much!! It's now measuring at a whopping 1.63cm, but now is starting to show some little arms and legs!!! God is soooo good!!!

My ovaries remained unchanged, which means my activities are still restriced and I can only work half days. Hopefully in the next few weeks will see some progress and the swelling will begin to go down. I've still been feeling a little nauseous, but the pills are working great. Last night was one of the best nights of sleep I've had in such a long time and I feel so much better than I have been!! Here's hoping that trend continues!! Dr. Galle is going to be out of the office next week, so I'll see Dr. McRae next Wednesday.

Halloween Tradition

Halloween 2009

Halloween 2010

I started a tradition last year with Alex (obviously since it was his first year of life!!). There is a guy in Sherman that takes professional photographs and on Halloween you can stop by his house and get your kids picture taken in their costumes. So we headed out again this year to capture our little monkey. I never did post last years picture so I figured I'd do it this year. Crazy how much our little man has grown up in the last year!!!
