It's a....

GIRL!!!


It was a beautiful day for our gender revealing party on Saturday! The food hubby made was great, and we were surrounded by our family and friends as Jake and I cut the cake that revealed that we are expecting a baby girl!


Today we also had our 21 week appointment with Anne. Here are some stats from this week's appointment:


Weight gain: 3lbs
Vitals: good
Baby girl's heartbeat: 150


Anne is very happy (and so are we!) about how things are going with our pregnancy! We are truly blessed!

Our little surprise

Today was our 19 week ultrasound with high risk OB Erika Peterson. Baby is doing wonderful, and all his or her measurements are exactly where they should be and the heartbeat was 149! Baby's gender is still a secret, as we asked our tech to write the gender down and place it in an envelope for our gender revealing party! We first thought we could wait it out a couple of months for nicer, warmer weather, but the anticipation of knowing the results are in our house is very tempting! So...we are aiming for next week, April 14 to find out!

My mom is baking the cake, which she will put either blue or pink frosting inside. When Jake and I cut into it, surrounded by anxious friends and family, we will then know what we're having!!! So exciting!!

17 week appointment

Today Jake and I went to our 2nd appointment with Anne. This appointment was SO much shorter than our first one. I think we were only there for about 15 minutes! Here's some stats:

                                      Bloodwork: good
                                      Vitals: good
                                      Baby's heartbeat: 140


The BIG ultrasound is scheduled on April 4th, 2012. We should be able to find out if baby is a boy or girl!!!

16 week appointment at the hospital

Yesterday was our appointment with our high risk OB at Waukesha Memorial Hospital. We first met with a genetics counselor who basically just went over some of the prenatal testings that can be done during the first two trimesters. She also told us that our odds of anything being wrong with baby due to my hydrocephalus are slim to none which was really reassuring!

After meeting with her, we went in for an ultrasound to take a peek at the baby and to get measurements.  The baby was really active and we got to see a little hand wisk past the screen! :-) The tech did all the measurements that she could, and said that so far everything looked great! Then the high risk OB came in to tell us that since everything looked the way it should, she didn't think that we would have any problems throughout the rest of the pregnancy! She also said that she doesn't see a reason that delivery would be an issue either, so YAY!

13 week appointment

Wow, I'm slow! This appointment was on February 21st, and I'm just posting it now! This appointment lasted a total of 1 hour!

After my OB's nurse gathered information on me and my family's health history, my OB reviewed all the necessary basics on pregnancy to us. She also gave us an ultrasound to make sure there was only ONE baby in there!  She wasn't sure if we would be able to actually hear the baby's heart beating yet, but she brought the Doppler along just to see.....and low and behold....we got to hear it!!! It took her a few moments to find it, but when she did, it was beating at a strong 155 bpm!! That was such an awesome sound!!! Even Jake was in awe and said right at that moment, the realization of becoming a Dad was more real!

Anne did want us to see a high risk OB just to get their expertise on my hydrocephalus that I had since birth. So we will be going over to Waukesha Memorial Hospital for that appointment in a few weeks.
