Halfway!
Well, I have 140 days under my belt (or rather, OVER my belt ;) ) and 140 left!!! I am so excited that it has actually gone by fairly fast. Especially when I compare to the last two. It's amazing what being up and able to function can do to affect the speed of time.
Well yesterday I went with Johnny again to help him with an on site job that he had. He just had to repair some drop boxes for an outreach center and the kids and I were along to 'help' him paint them. One of the boxes happened to be near a 'Once Upon a Child' store and I asked him if he would drop me off there and I could just walk over to where he was when I was done. I was just looking around since I'm not 100% sure that what I'm having is a girl (even though Johnny is!).
Well, I did find one piece and was pretty excited about it, since it's SO cute and can be used for either a boy or a girl. Here it is. Tell me what you think. Check out the cuffs!
I admit, it looks a little more 'girly', but it's still cute!!!

Well????..............What IS 'it'???
Are you all ready for this??
We don't know for sure!!! Isn't that frustrating!? It is for me. We didn't see any 'boy parts', but the cord was in the way, so we didn't see much of anything! We're GUESSING girl, but I'm not going to plan anything yet. I may have another ultrasound done, but we'll have to see.
Sorry for the disappointment. Believe me, I feel it too!!
Keep checkin', we'll see what transpires.
On a happier note, it seems that everything is as is should be, so for that I am VERY grateful!!

160 BPM
Well, I had a prenatal appointment yesterday with my midwife, so I thought I'd fill you all in on the details.
I am almost 18 weeks and I was measuring 20 cm., which is a bit scary for me cause I don't want to be HUGE! LOL But she said that that is normal for a third pregnancy, so I'll have to take her word for it! My blood pressure 'couldn't be better' she said at 112/68 and the baby's heart rate was at 160. If that gives anyone any hints feel free to vote again! LOL All three check-ups have been high like that. My midwife says that 'it' sounds WONDERFUL!!! That was such an encouragement to me!
I will try to post pictures of my 'baby fat' as soon as I can get Johnny to take some. I tried having Cheyenne do it, but it didn't work too well. Keep checkin'!

Little Movements
Well, I guess it's time for a new post even though there isn't anything really new to report. I'm sorry I've been such a blogging slacker. I know how boring it is to see the same post over and over, day after day.
For those of you who are never or rarely ever sick during your pregnancies, you probably won't understand the excitement of me and my family when I post that I've not been sick for X number of days or I've been able to go 'so' long without taking a pill, but that is the most exciting news that I have to report. I was actually able to ride along with Johnny and 'help' him 4 days in a row, and I believe I have only thrown up once this week and taken 2 pills. I was saying something to Johnny the other day about already gaining 5 pounds and 'complaining', (but not) that I was going to be HUGE by the time it's all over. He said, "You better not be complaining!" He has also said that he would rather I be FAT than sick. So you all are my 'witnesses'. At the end of this when he has to roll me to the frontroom and the pictures that we post of my pregnant belly look like I'm going to give birth to a nation, help US to remember that he said he would love me anyway!! LOL I told him that I'm not complaining or worrying about the weight I GAIN it's the weight I'm going to have to LOSE that I'm concerned about! But still he tells me not to worry about it. We'll see!!
I told Johnny the other day that it seems like everytime I start thinking that something might be wrong with the baby, (because I'm not as sick as I was with the other two) that the Lord 'allows' me to get sick, so that I will realize that everything is okay. You know, you'd think I'd learn to trust!! Cheyenne came into bed with me the other night and wanted to feel the baby move. We laid there for a very long time and I could not get this little one to move. Then the next morning I was laying in bed trying to wake 'it' (I hate having to use that word) up and still nothing. So, of course, as human nature goes, I started thinking, "Hmmm, I wonder what's wrong with my baby?!" I told Johnny, "I can't get 'it' to move." So he came over and put his hand on my belly and talked to the baby and said he felt 'it', but still I didn't. Well, the next morning (yesterday) right after I ate breakfast, I was given yet ANOTHER reminder that everything was okay!! Yep, you guessed it.... 'Ralph' came to visit! =} Then, what seemed like all day yesterday, I felt little squirmy movements and knew everything was just as it should be. I think riding in Johnny's truck with him for 4 days in a row, I wasn't able to feel 'it' moving as much, but 'it' must have been active and then just wanted to sleep when I laid down. Which is another thing I am very thankful for, because I know the time is coming, when I am dead tired and ready to sleep that as soon as I lay down 'it's' going to start squirming if 'it's' anything like the previous two! As I sit here now I feel flutters. It's such an awesome feeling!!! I love it!!
I will be getting an ultrasound done within the next 3 weeks so my baby will no longer be 'IT'. If anyone would like to put their 'vote' in as to what they think I'm having, please feel free. I think it would be fun to see who gets it right. I will do a post as soon as I think everyone has 'voted' and then we'll see what the ultrasound says. Although I have heard enough stories by now to know that ultrasounds are not guarranteed!! Only God knows FOR SURE, but it's fun to plan.
Well, I guess I have rambled on long enough. I was talking to my mom earlier this morning and I told her that I needed to get off of the computer so I could get some laundry done and enjoy this beautiful weather we're having, but yet here I sit!!! I hope you all have a wonderful day and thank you all again for the many prayers that have been offered on my behalf. I am on the mend.
