Hello everyone!! I'm starting this so everyone who isn't so close by will be able to stay in the baby loop!! I hope you'll all bear with me while I get used to this!! I'm a total newbie when it comes to blogs!! LOL!! Once I get the hang of it I'll post some pictures.



Well, I had my 17 week appointment yesterday and everything looks pretty good so far. The heartbeat is around 150, which the Dr says is just perfect. I also had some blood drawn to test for Down's and a couple other abnormalities. Should get those results back in a couple of days I hope. Our big ultra-sound is scheduled for August 28th at 4:30pm. I think that Brett is more excited than anyone else about it!! He really wants to know what kind of puppy is growing in there!! He says that Sadie is going to be very disappointed when it isn't a blood hound!! LOL! Neither of us really cares what's growing in there as long as its got all its fingers and toes!!

As for me, I'm still getting sick every other day or so. Not fun in a big way!! Dr says that since I'm still getting sick that it could stick around for the whole pregnancy :(!! I'm getting some lovely spider veins in my legs. Thank goodness for capris!! And my feet are starting to swell already. They're really bad towards the afternoon. My darling Brett asked me yesterday if my feet were getting fatter. I said "thanks for noticing!!" Sigh...he's such a dork!! But a cute dork!! Also, the Dr confirmed that the occaisional bubbles that I've been feeling are definitely baby movements. So cool!! I almost long for the days when I'll be getting kicked in the ribs!! Well, almost!!

Non-baby related, Brett is still working on our living room floors. They're going to be really beautiful oak when its all finished, but for now, my entire house looks like about 10 bombs went off inside. The upstairs is a wreck too, because we replaced sheet rock in both spare rooms, and the guy who's doing the spackeling hasn't quite finished yet. Can't wait until I have my house back!! The house also got hit by lightening which blew out 2 TVs, the satillite, and the computer. Thank goodness for Homeowners Insurance!! We were able to get a pretty decent check from the claim and were able to have everything replaced.

Well, that's all that's new for now. Like I said, once I get the hang of this I'll post some pictures, including some belly shots and my ultra-sound.

Happy Thursday!!!
