Goodbye for now my love...

Well Dave left on Wednesday and I miss him already! I hope the next three months go by quickly... I got an email from him shortly after they left - they stopped in Germany - and he said "Tell peanut I said hi. I love you and miss you both already."... I nearly cried! He's so sweet!
He called last night and he is doing well - they put him to work the day he arrived!

Week 15 to 21!

Well I think the Wii fit is lying because my belly is definitely getting bigger.. as are some other areas.. but it still says I weigh 138 lbs!? craziness I tell you. Anyways, here are a few pictures of the previous weeks and my weight gain :)

Week 21 - 138 lbs


Week 20 - 138 lbs



Week 19 - 139 lbs



Week 16 to 18 - 135 lbs


Up to week 15 - 133 lbs

Amazing!!

I had a full body massage followed by a morrocan rhassoul clay mask (facial) today and it was A-MA-ZING!!! It was so relaxing and felt so good.. I fell asleep! I found this amazing place in Feltwell (on lakenheathyardsales website) and I've been getting a massage every two weeks.... to help with the pregnancy back pain ;) Today was my third time... but first time getting the facial! :)

So I am mainly telling you this because when you come visit me I'll make you an appointment - any treatment you want! :) A bribe? no... more like my way of welcoming you to England :)

The Big News!!

If you don't want to know the sex... look away now!!

The ultrasound took forever!! About an hour... poor Dave was falling asleep! Peanut was not cooperating.. moving when he should have stayed still and then not moving when the lady wanted him to! It was sooo hot in the room - probably around 85F.. and I wasn't allowed to see the screen! Halfway through she asked me to empty my bladder so when I came back I moved down on the table a bit so I could see :o) She couldn't tell me any details! Except of course that we are having a boy :) Oh and Dave decided he doesn't want to know! So we need to do our best to keep it from him... ok?

Here are the pictures from today... isn't he adorable?!?!

Update

On Monday I had an appointment with my midwife, Joanna.. she comes to our house - its great! She asked if I have felt any movements and I said yes, for about 3 weeks now. Then I realized.. I didn't tell anyone! Apart from Dave, of course. I started feeling flutters so I wasn't sure.. I have heard people say it might just be gas. But now and within the last 2 weeks it is definite movement!

Using the doppler, Joanna found the heart beat. Within seconds we could hear swishing as peanut was swimming away! When she found the heart beat again, we could hear peanut kicking the device. It was quite funny. Later on that evening Dave was laying on my stomach and he felt peanut moving.. he seemed really excited! It was sweet.

Peanut's heart rate was 140bpm and my blood pressure was 90/60.

We will find out tomorrow if peanut is a girl or boy!!

Way too early!

It's 5.55am and I have a dentist appointment at 7am... on my day off! What was I thinking?!? scheduling an appt this early on my day off... actually, I do remember what I was thinking. I was thinking - I could go with Dave since he has to be at work by 7.00 and bring some school work to do, have lunch with him and then ride back home with him when he is done working! (We live about 20 miles from the base). That plan didn't work though since he doesn't have work this week! Don't get me wrong - I am happy he doesn't have to work this week - now I have a whole week with him before he goes!! Yippee!!

I suppose I need to get used to waking up earlier than I need to anyway... :)

My first blog!

Ok well maybe it isn't my first blog - I have created one before but never did anything with it - so really this will be my first. I felt the urge to create a blog so it will be easier for you - our family and friends - to keep up to date with everything that is going on with us! Mostly, my pregnancy for now...
I will try my best to update you weekly (if not more) on how things are going.
