Gender prediction: It's a boy

Labor Signs: nope

Belly Button in or out? still in

Wedding rings on or off? Still on and loose

Milestones: finding out we're having a son


Alot has happened since the last time I blogged. We had our detailed ultrasound and everything looks great! I've been worried about fluid levels because i've been battling dehydration every day. Last saturday i had to go to the hospital for fluids...the hospital staff were incredibly nice and caring. I felt incredibly great afterwards. And Grant has been wonderful in making sure that i'm eating enough and drinking enough. Our boy is very active and Indiana (one of our cats) has noticed and likes to get on my stomach and purr...or take a nap with his paw on my tummy. Buddy the dog has been great company on the days I don't feel well enough to get out of bed...we both cuddle and watch movies. And little Shortie (our other cat... aka ms. priss) always shows up when we need a smile...she's a happy kitty. God has blessed us tremendously. Well i'm off to take a nap with the Buds.

Oh...and we have a name!

GRANT RILEY

We can't wait for Riley to get here.

Blessings,

17weeks 5day update!

How far along? 17 weeks 5 day

Total weight gain/loss: -15 pounds (due to horrible morning sickness!)

Maternity clothes? Some shirts...but due to weight loss my regular pants are a little big

Stretch marks? Not yet

Sleep: tired alot...weird dreams...wake up a lot at night

Best moment this week: got results back from quad screen...all is good!

Movement: not yet

Food cravings: mainly food aversions right now

Gender prediction: I think a girl...Grant thinks a boy

Labor Signs: nope

Belly Button in or out? still in

Wedding rings on or off? Still on and loose

Milestones: morningsickness is getting a little better

Everything is going well right now...morning sickness is getting a little better...zofran is working well. I actually was hungry the other day...starving. I'm still working on eating a little more each day...doesn't sound hard but it is. Some days are better than others and i'm able to do more around the house. I can't wait until it's tolerable/controlled enough that we can go to church. The animals (Buddy, Indy and Shortie) have been really good and like to take naps with me. They seem to know when i'm having a really bad day and need extra attention from them. Grant has been amazing...he takes care of me...feeds me (aka goes out for food i crave if we don't have it) and has been really supportive. He is the best husby ever and every night i thank God that he gave me Grant.

We're getting really excited in about 2 weeks, we're getting a detailed ultrasound and we will know the sex of the baby...i'm sooo excited! It will be nice to be able to pray for the baby by name.

Grant and I will try to update after the ultrasound!

Blessings,
