Emily goes to the zoo!

Today we took Emily to the Turtle Back Zoo! We had a lot of fun and it was a beautiful day!


She loved all the animals especially the penguins! This made Mommy happy! She really enjoyed herself and we all had such a wonderful time!

Some very sad news....

Today, we found out that our brother in law Tony, has Stage 4 lung cancer.

He had been having back problems and was finding it difficult to do many things. He used to golf a few times a week and even that diminished. He kept going to the doctor and they just kept prescribing medication for him.

Unfortunately, they found out that it had progressed to this level.

If you could keep him, my sister in law, Michelle and their beautiful daughter Laura, in your prayers and thoughts it would be appreciated.

Fluttering....

Starting to feel some soft movement! Pretty soon, baby will be keeping me up at night!

3 Hour GTT Results....

Short and sweet....

I just heard back from the nurse.....I PASSED!

3 Hour Glucose Test

So today Jim & I went to have the 3 hour GTT done. Its not bad, just incredibly boring! Anyway, they do a blood draw. Then they make you drink the yummy orange stuff. Starting an hour after you finish the drink, I had a blood draw done every hour. Hopefully, I'll be passing this one!

Ultrascreen Results

Doctor called...the baby looks good. Prior to the test, based on my age, the chances of down syndrome was 1 in 350. After the test, the chances went to 1 in 7,000! So, great results!

Storytime!!

Today I took Emily to her 1st Storytime! We had a lot of fun, read books and sang songs! We get to go for the next 6 weeks. Emily can't wait!

First Trimester Ultrascreen done

So today we went in for another ultrasound. This combined with a finger prick would be able to determine if the baby had Down Syndrome or two other Trisomy disorders.

It was so nice to be able to see the baby again. The technician and the doctor said that everything looked fine, but they wouldn't be able to tell until the bloodwork was back. The heartbeat was 161.

2nd Doctor's Appointment

So today I went for my 2nd doctors appointment. I only gained 1 pound, so not too bad! My mom went in with me and heard the heartbeat. It registered at 135. Overall, another good appointment.

Next appointment.....June 6th

Baby #2's First Ultrasound

Today we went in for our 1st ultrasound to evaluate the dating. The room was really cramped, so Jim & Emily stayed out in the waiting room. Anyway...the baby was bouncing around all over the place. The heartbeat registered at 171. I measured at 12 weeks, so 1 week ahead. Everything looked good!
