20 weeks! Halfway there!

So today I was so proud of myself. I gave blood, and laughed and talked the whole time! I didn't cry at all! I know this may seem weird, but its a big deal for me! Anyway, Daisy is ACTIVE! Wow! I love it though, every day I fall more in love with this child :) Last week was the official closing of Gymboree, it was pretty emotional. We got to just play with all the kids for a few hours, and talk with the parents, and I also got some baby gifts! My Gymboree parents are the best! I felt so loved. If you want to see the pictures from that day and more you can view them at www.picasaweb.google.com/emily.tingley
Today I went to babies r us to add to my registry and I used a gift card to buy Daisy her first outfits from Mommy :) Let me tell you, it was pretty crazy buying clothes for MY daughter. Wednesday of this week we have a Dr. appiontment, then next tuesday we have the ultra sound that checks all the vital organs. I need to put more pictures up, hopefully soon! Also, sorry you have to sign in as anonymous, Im trying to fix that!

19 weeks!

Well this week has been a little tough, work has been stressful, and as of next week I will join the unemployed :( Feeling backaches, and tossing and turning trying to get used to this new addition to my body has worn me out! Plus I have to give more blood on Friday, because the lab did not send the results to my ob! Ugh! Good news is I felt Daisy kick from the outside on Sunday night! I was watching TV and I had my hand on my belly, Daisy was moving as usual, her most active time is right before bed, and my hand moved! It was awesome, Trav has been patiently trying to feel her, but Daisy is stubborn, even in the womb :) She will be moving like crazy and then Travis will put his hand on my belly and she will freeze! Maybe she has stage fright :) Anyway, I cant believe next week I will be halfway there!! I just want meet this little girl. Im sure I will have more to post after next week at our 20 week ultrasound. Please keep us in your prayers with the loss of my job, Thanks!

18 weeks!

Hi Everyone! Daisy is growing like crazy now! She is 4 to 5 inches long, and weighs about 150 grams. I feel her move all the time, especially after I drink apple juice (one of my many "cravings"). She has got the hiccups a few times too which cracks me up. So far the hardest thing about my pregnancy is giving blood :( If you know me, you know I don't like pain! I gave blood at about 12 weeks along, and thought I was done for awhile, only to find out at my 16 week check up, the lab didn't send over the tests! I have to do it again! Anyway, aside from some back aches, stuffy nose, and a little nausea in the beginning, this baby has been good to me:) Daddy Travis has been amazing, a little anxious, but extremely supportive. I cant wait till he can feel her move! Travis has become a little homemaker, he shops, cooks, cleans, rubs my feet, works all day, showers me with kisses and affection, I really could not ask for more! Except maybe a load of laundry or two...JUST KIDDING :) I'm not sure how many of you heard about Gymboree closing in March, but as of March 13th I will join the many unemployed Americans! People keep asking, what my plans are with the baby coming, and if I'm worried. The truth is God has always provide for Travis and I so I really have no reason to worry, I am going to take this time to pursue my photography, and "nest". I will miss all my gymboree kids and parents though, I actually registered last week, because many of my students parents wanted to get me a gift before gymboree closes. Registering was surprisingly fun! Stroller and car seat set took the longest because Travis had to dissect and research every part of every stroller! What a good Daddy :) Anyway, we have our 20 week check up on March 18th, that means I will be half way there! Please pray for our little growing family, Thank you, Love you all!
