22 weeks!!

Sooo im officially starting my 23rd week today and im also starting my 6TH MONTH!! how crazy!! well nothings really been going on.. belly is getting bigger, belly button is diminishing, baby's kicking and squirming around a bit, jay felt baby kick 2-3 times yesterday :D, i guess thats it. oh yea, and the dreaded stretch marks that are appearing on my boobs. ughhhhh. but thats okay. I have my next appt this weds.. nothing big is happening. we'll go over my quad screen results, which i assume came out fine since they didn't call me. im interested to see the chance of each disorder though. but yea, the next big test for baby is.... the GTT. i have to drink a glass of super sugary stuff and hold it down for an hour or so, so they can test me if i have gestational diabetes. the worst part for me is not being able to eat before hand. but some doctors offices don't use that rule.. thank god ;).  that will be coming in 2 weeks. so yayy... haha. Nana and Papa Loturco just cut us a check for $400 to spend on all the crib stuff. (da vinci emily mini crib, the bed rails, bumper, and the mattress.) i am soo excited to order it and get it here!!!! itll make me feel like this is sooo insanely real, and coming so fast! i remember not so long ago thinking well, lets wait till i hit 7-8 weeks pregnant to really get excited, cause i might miscarry... but look!! im 22 weeks and feeling great and baby will be here before we know it!! ahhhh!!

ok i guess ill fill out a survey, even though nothings really changed... cyaaa

21 weeks!

So, I'm 21 weeks 1 day today! soo happy! we went to BRU last night and checked out the strollers one last time, and we decided to go a whole other route and get a baby jogger city mini stroller. I never looked into the joggers, cause well, I dont jog. but its really cute and easy to maneuver and jay absolutely loves it. so we put that one on the registry instead :) We signed up for bradley classes starting next monday, going through july 6th. Its usually 12 weeks long, but this teacher only does 7 weeks. I emailed her asking her why, because we are paying $300 for these classes and I would prefer the full 12 classes to get more bang for my buck. but whatever. I just need to learn how to relax and manage my pain for when I'm in labor.

ok so thats about it, im going to post the survey in a few mins. Ta ta :)

20w 5d

so its pretty late, we just got in from hooters, the wings sucked. baby's not really kicking a lot lately. I feel movement every now and then, but not much. I cant believe ill be in my 22nd week in 2 days! wowww. I looked into Bradley classes, one instructer in ronkonkoma is charging 300, and theres another one whos a provisional (idk what that means, its cheaper tho i think), but she just had a baby, and will call me back tomorrow or the next day to let me know if she wants to do it. idk how much itll cost, but 300 is too high i think. i mean, we'll pay that much for classes, but seriously??? anyway, its 12 classes and it teaches you to control the pain of labor and different pain relief things, and breastfeeding and all that stuff. im excitedddd. id be starting soon. so thats awesome. anything baby related gets me soo excited :) I need to et more pregnancy magazines or something. haha. anyway.. im heading off to bed. ill update on my 21wk with a pic and survey update :) toodlesss

Its a boy!!!

So we went this morning to the ultrasound, and it was so quick getting in! We filled out some papers, i think we registered for the hospital, which is awesome! then we sat down for about 10 mins max, and they called us in. it was just a room with an ultrasound machine. I was sooo excited! so the guy checked out the baby's head, heart, stomach, and then i saw it! He said "i know a the sex is..." and i said "its a boy? its a boy!!!' or something like that, i cant remember from all of the excitement, haha. I am so happy!! jay was beaming.. I'm so glad he got what he wanted :D so then the tech took different shots of the baby's heart and spine and legs.. it was so cool seeing inside your baby.. for the first and last time until he comes out in 4 months :) :) so we called everyone and my mom cried.. it was sweet. i was so happy to finally see our little guy and now I'm even more excited for when he's really here :)

finding out the sex..

im 2.5 hours!!!!! ahhh im dyingggg to know! i hope the tech can see the parts! they told me to drink a lot of juice before hand so the baby moves a lot. so im filling up on water, then on the wa gulping down juice :) i c ant wait :D :D :D I hope its a boy.. but if they tell us its a girl idk how i'll react. i feel kinda guilty, and like a bad mommy for not being as excited if its a girl. i just know jay wants a boy and itd be nice to have a boy first... but we'll see. i think its a boy anyway. im carrying only inmy belly, like, my WHOLE belly. not just the lower part, but the whole thing. From behind, you cant tell im pregnant, just when I stand sideways or at an angle. When i take all the OWT quizzes they say mostly girl.. but we'll see soon enough!!
