Ultrasound Pictures

This is a picture of his face with his hand on the right. We can tell he is going to have chubby cheeks.

The last two are profile pictures of his face.

These are ultrasound pictures that were done a week ago when I went to the doctor. I'm still at home on bed rest. For those that know me well, you know how hard it is for me to sit around and do nothing. I'm trying to keep my sanity and count down the days until I hit 37 weeks. I have 2 more weeks to go. I hope I don't go crazy in the mean time.

Scary

I am at home now on bed rest. So today I have been surfing the Internet. I was looking something up with baby #2's due date. Look what I found below.


Your baby will start kindergarten in 2014, be old enough to drive a car in 2024, finish high school in 2027, and will graduate from college with the class of 2031, give or take a year. Can you imagine?

That is a scary thought!

Shocking News: We are having a BOY not a girl!

A lot has happened this week, I am going to do my best to catch everyone up to speed. My blood pressure started to get to high so I was transferred to a new doctor. I went to my new doctor on Monday morning and my blood pressure was pretty high. They did an ultrasound while I was there to make sure the baby was ok, which the baby was and is ok. This is when I got some shocking news. We found out the baby is a BOY. In our ultrasound before (at 19 weeks) we were told we were having a girl so we had prepared ourselves for a girl. I had gotten all of Kaden's clothes out and sorted them by size for this baby. Now at 34 weeks we find out we are having a boy, and we have NO CLOTHES for this baby. I had already sent out girl baby shower invitations and registered as if we were having a girl. I have already started fixing the registry and we will have to make sure everyone knows our big news.

Now to get to my blood pressure. The doctor sent me to the hospital for observation on Monday from his office. After waiting for ever at the hospital, I was finally seen and they ran some tests. He decided to keep me over night which turned into 2 nights. Right now it seems that I just have high blood pressure and not preeclampsia like I had with Kaden. However, because it is so high the doctor said I will not be able to carry the baby to full term. I received 2 steroid shots to help develop the babies lungs faster since he will be born early. Now the goal is for me to make it to 37 weeks. I am on strict bed rest now and will remain on bed rest until I deliver. I am still at the hospital hoping to go home today. I am going crazy here. This is the first time that I have been away from Kaden and I'm dying to see her and be at home. The doctor is waiting on one last test result to decide if I can go home. Once I see him today he told me that we would make a plan of action. I will be sure to keep everyone updated. The good news is that since I have been on bed rest here at the hospital my blood pressure went down and is considered good right now and this was without medication!

Happy Friday!

9 month check up

Kaden went to the doctor yesterday for her 9 month check up. She had a good check up, the doctor said she is a very healthy baby.

Below are her stats:

weight: 21 pounds 14 ounces

height: 28.5 inches

Kaden has been a very busy girl this month. She is working on 4 teeth at once! Yikes! Two on the bottom have already come in on either side of the middle 2. You can see them in the picture above. Her top 2 teeth are breaking the gum on the top.

I can tell Kaden really wants to walk on her own. She will pull herself up and then let go and try to walk but she just can't do it yet.

NC State Fan at Heart

Even though we can't see many NC State games here in Miami we still are cheering them on. Hopefully we have a better rest of the season, since our start has not been that great.

Pics at 9 months

Now that Kaden is 9 months old she thinks she is a grown up!

Sorry this is blurry. We were trying to show off her 2 new teeth. She got 2 teeth at the same time which was a nightmare: one on either side of the 2 in the middle on the bottom. Now Kaden has 4 teeth. All on the bottom!

Kaden's favorite toy: a balloon

I am too cute and I know it.

Maddie thought she would see if Kaden had a dirty diaper.

Now Kaden only wants to be on the floor so she can crawl and pull up on things.

I did it!

Now it is time to relax and take my bottle.
