I'm super nervous about tomorrow, why? Because I'm going to take my 3 hour Glucose Tolerance Test. My one hour test was a little elevated and hopefully everything comes back within normal limits. I just don't want to poke my finger 4 times a day and even worse possibly have to give myself insulin injections! Another bad thing about Gestational Diabetes is that it pretty much gives you a 75% of having a c-section, and I really really don't want to have a c-section with my first baby.
Other than that, I have been okay. The baby seems to be more active and is kicking harder and harder everyday :) I am 6 months today and have now gained 10 lbs all together so far. And it is finally decided that we will be naming our baby boy Mannix, we aren't sure if he will have a middle name or not.
We have also started thinking about ideas for the baby shower which will be on March 28, 2009. Yippee! I will be just about 8 months and a week by then! Oh my I'm probably going to be massive! haha

Excited!
I'm super happy right now because we just purchased our first items for the baby! We bought a crib set complete with all decorations for the room, and for a good price too. I have been wanting this crib set since I first laid my eyes on it..the good news is that Isidro loved it too. I cant wait till we get our crib and dresser! Now to wait till the end of Feb. when we move into our two bedroom. It's going to be awesome to put the whole nursery together for our baby boy ^-^
We bought the crib set, two wall organizers, a lamp, a hamper, a music mobile, a decorative pillow, an extra crib sheet, and extra blanket, a changing pad cover and i think thats it. It also happens to be a very good brand Skip Hop. I had a really hard time trying to find the perfect bedding for our baby but this is just amazing and perfect to our taste. I hope the UPS man comes this week *crosses fingers*

Whirlwind.
Hello
I have plenty of updating today. First off I have to say that I officially can feel the baby move. Second not only can I feel him move, but I actually saw him kick 2 times on January 7th when I was watching The NeverEnding Story with Isidro. I of course, got all teary eyed and emotional, but it was such a beautiful experience!
Now for some more news, I do have to clarify the fact that we ARE having a BOY, only because he was predicted a girl around 18 weeks and then at week 20 we found out it was indeed..a boy :) I had another scan this Thursday and I saw his penis myself. lol not only that they showed it to me "in real time" and I finally have a legit picture to prove it too. So yes, I'm excited to say it IS A BOY. So now for names right? Isidro and I have come up with 3 names so far and are unable to decide on which one to use
Oh and I just got out of the hospital today which is why Im barely posting about the baby moving. I had a cough, then I had a fever, then I couldn't breath! So that equals to a Luxurious 3 night stay at the wonderful Christus Spohn Hospital! Ill tell you I was sooooooo miserable, I cried all day yesterday because I wanted to come home. I had so many problems with my ivy, it kept ringing and ringing and ringing every 10 minutes. I kept buzzing and buzzing the nurses to come in and fix it and they would but as soon as they would step out BEEP BEEP BEEP..I swear that machine wanted to make me go insane! They even changed the machine 4 times and moved my ivy to my other hand and it still beeped! Oh well Im home and that's all that matters.
And finally! I got the stroller, carseat, high chair, swing and diaper bag picked out! My sisters and mother will be buying them for me for the baby shower. And not to mention Isidro's mother is going to be buying us our crib! :) We planned on buying everything on our own since we are so picky on what we want for the baby but they offered and I mean who's going to say no to that?
So here are some pictures of the things we are getting for sure. And a big Thank You to everyone who is helping us out! We really appreciate it!
P.S. IM OFFICIALLY 5 AND A HALF MONTHS TODAY! whoo

Its a boy!
Oh my..I have been super busy with work and everything I haven't posted in so long. Well we found out today that we will be having a boy! We were supposed to be having a girl but I guess not? lol I haven't really much to talk about everything has pretty much been on cruise control for a while now. My Quad Screen results showed Negative x3! So no open neural tube defects or anything detected :) Iam one happy MOMMA!
As for fetal movement I haven't really felt anything and Iam now 5 months and 1 day! I mean I feel little movements here and there but Im not sure if its gas or not lol. I haven't really picked out names either I guess because I wanted to be SURE of what we were having before I really started name hunting.
And the best part of pregnancy has to be THE WEIGHT...blah I have gained 6 lbs so far..I know that doesn't sound like much but my tummy is getting HUGE and I don't know where it's coming from either? Oh well at least its not 15-20 lbs :)
p.s. As I was typing this blog I felt a whole bunch of fluttering in my belly..is it the baby? ohh I wish I could tell for sure!

happy
Hello! I has been a very long time since I have updated my blog and I'm happy to say that everything is going great :)
I went to the hospital this past Monday due to dehydration but I just needed some iv fluids overnight and I was good to go. I did however, loose 4 lbs this weekend that's all the weight I have gained so far so now I'm back to my original weight. My nausea still hasn't gone away and I'm now starting to experience headaches like crazy. I also have been vomiting, I am still hanging in there and enjoying it though.
The baby is doing super and has grown so much these past few weeks! I'm so excited every time I have an appointment because I get to see the baby. I haven't had pictures because the machine isn't working right now but I did snap a shot with my phone :) I'm so amazed at how everything seems to be going by so fast and how well the baby is even though I'm sick all the time.
I am so in love with the baby its unbelievable!

=]
Today I had my follow up appointment and guess what?! NO BACTERIA yessss! Now I'm doing well and you know what I haven't burped up that ulgy taste in about 3 days *knock on wood* I think I figured out the problem..my prenatal vitamins I took it and about 5 minutes later I burped up and it finally clicked, its the vitamins!
So I have been going to work this past week and am doing quite well I mean I still get nauseous but its not as bad as it was before.
Well anyways, back to the appointment the ultrasound machine wasn't working very well today it actually kept messing up so the doctor wasn't able to do any measurements or print pictures but thank God I had my camera phone with me so I snapped two pictures and a video of the baby's heartbeat♥
I will be going back in a month for my next visit unless I have any problems and lets hope I don't! It's just sad to think I have to wait a whole month again to see the baby! =[

Update
Hello all! I haven't been on to update in awhile so here are the events that have occurred
I will be having a follow up appointment on Wednesday to see if my blood still has bacteria (hopefully everything is alright). I will be 10 weeks and 3 days by the time I have my next appointment and ultrasound! Isidro will be going with me for the first time to a doctors visit =]
Since I have time off of work I've been snooping online and looking at cribs and baby stuff that I would like so here are a few things that I finally have settled on 1 the crib and 2 the changing station we're not quite sure on the bedding yet but I like the one on the very last pic its kind of cute for a boy I need to do a little more shopping before I actually buy something.
P.S.
*I also just wanted to throw this in as a random note: My older sister Angela used to eat Tomatoes and Cream Cheese when she stayed with us and for some odd reason or another I have been craving it like a maniac since 2 days ago I have eaten 4 sandwiches =]
- I have been given "time off" of work till I feel better
- I re-did my blood cultures to see if any changes
- I haven't had an ultrasound in a week and a half
- I haven't been feeling so nauseous as before yippee!
