3D Ultrasound

Last night (7-13-09) we went for our 3D ultrasound. It was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced! To actually see her moving around in my belly. And yes, she's definitely a girl! We got a lot of great pictures of her. But she loved hugging on mommy so we couldn't get a full face shot. We got to see her sucking on her lips, sucking her thumb. They gave us a video of her also. I cry every time I watch it. It's just incredible! She didn't have a whole lot of fat on her so I would love to do another one!! lol. But I don't think Seth will allow that!
Here are some pictures of our little girl

25 Weeks and Our 2 Year Anniversary!

Today I am 25 weeks along. 15 more weeks to go! I just can't believe it! I had a doctors appointment last Friday the 26th. Everything was perfect! My doc couldn't get a steady heartbeat of Samantha because the little rascal wouldn't stay still! You could hear her moving around with the Doppler they use.. it was pretty cool. Her heartbeat was 152. My next appointment is Monday, July 27th. I'll be about 29 weeks along then. She has me scheduled for the glucose test, which I'm not looking forward to. I have to go to the lab before my appointment and drink this (I hear it's pretty nasty) orange sugar drink then go to my regular doctors appointment and wait an hour then they take my blood. I hope it goes okay!
Our 2 year anniversary is today!! I got Seth and nice outfit. Jeans, T-shirt (which says "trophy husband") and a nice button up shirt. I'm planning on making him a nice, romantic dinner tonight. Just can't believe it has been 2 years! It's just crazy how everything works out in life. I have known Seth for like 8-9 years. I would have never thought that I'd be married to him and having his baby!! He's the most wonderful man in my life and he will be an even more wonderful father!!

Here's my 25 week belly shot

22 Weeks

Well.. I'm at 22 weeks. My belly has really popped and you can tell I'm pregnant now. My belly button is slowly disappearing. But I love everything about this pregnancy right now. I have been getting heartburn though. Which I never really have had heartburn before. So tums are my new best friend.
Seth bought me/Samantha a CD player and Beethoven, Mozart and Chopin Cd's. I put the headphones on my belly so Samantha can listen to this wonderful music. I've always loved Mozart. I believe she really likes it as well. While the music is playing I feel her moving around and kicking, I think she's dancing around in there. lol.
I bought Samantha's bedding set the other day. It's not really the one I wanted to get but Seth saw it while we were looking at walmart's site and he really loved it. So I couldn't say no to him and make him feel bad. I just can't wait until it comes in so I can see it in person. I bought it at walmart.com. It was about $69.. every where else I have found the set it's $85. So I think I got a good deal. The set comes with comforter, sheets, ruffle and bumper pads. Can't wait to get started on her room. I'm still looking at cribs. I'm kinda overwhelmed on what to get. So many options. I'm sure I'll find one soon.
My 22 week belly

It's A....

We had our big ultrasound on Thursday, May 28th. I had an OB appointment before the ultrasound. That went great. The heartbeat that day was 148. My weight is still on track. I weigh 136 lbs. So I'm getting up there. I started at 127. I've gained 10 lbs. Lets just hope all that will go away just as fast as it came. lol. My belly measured on track also. 20 weeks. I'm getting quite a bump.
Now to our other appointment.
Seth, Amanda and Noah met us there. My mother in-law took me so she was already there. We went up to where we were suppose to go and waited forever! Seth played with Noah. And I was trying not to pee my pants, I had to go to the bathroom so bad. But I had to have a full bladder.
Finally my name was called. Seth and I went back there. Thankfully the tech let me empty my bladder! Then she started! We got to see EVERYTHING!! The head, face, hands, feet and legs. The baby was all over the place. She was very hyper, thanks to the orange juice I drank. It was playing with its hands, even had a grip on the umbilical cord and was chewing on it!! lol. Then she went looking for the gender. Well she found it.. Someone wasn't shy AT ALL! So.....
We're having a little, adorable, baby GIRL!!!
I was in ABSOULT shock! I really thought we were having a boy. Deep down Seth thought we were too. But he says he knew it would be a girl. He's over the top with excitment!!!
I am excited too. Just nervous. I will love when she's a little baby but when she grows up, you have sooo much to worry about more with a girl than a boy. You have to worry about pregnancy, sick bastards wanting to kidnap little girls, eating disorders, means girls at school.. There's so much more. But I know I can't worry about that. She will be a wonderful person! As long as she has Daddy to put her in her place. Oh, I know how I was when I was younger and I was a handful. I don't know how my parents did it.
Everyone is pretty excited to have this little girl. This is the 1st girl in the Mize family for a long time! In my family there's tons of girls! My cousin is pregnant with a girl right now also.
I have pictures of her. The tech didn't give us any money shots of her goodies. But we got wonderful profile shots.

Her Legs

Her Lips

Her little Foot

Here she is!!

20 Weeks

I hit the halfway mark today. 20 weeks. It's just insane how fast it's going. My belly is getting bigger and bigger and the baby kicks are getting harder and harder. Seth and I are getting more and more excited with every passing day. 2 more days until our big ultrasound. Totally excited!! Can't wait to see our baby again!
Here's my 20 week belly picture

18 Weeks

I am 18 weeks along. 15 more days until our ultrasound!!!!!!!! I'm counting down!! Just hope this baby cooperates!! Can't wait to go shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night I noticed that I started lactating!!!!! It caught me by total surprise!! Didn't think it happened this early but I'm managing, I guess. lol. I'm gonna have to put little panty liners in my bra for now...lol... which is just too funny!!!
I have been feeling this baby move/kick me for about a week now. It feels like little thumps/popcorn popping in my lower abdomen (its kicking right now as I type this)! I love it!!!!!!!!!! Few days ago it kept doing it so I had Seth come and put his hand on my lower abdomen, as I felt the baby kick, he asked, "Was that the baby?" I said Yes!! You should of seen his face!!! Soooo priceless!!! :o) It was just a little tap but he felt it. Can't wait until he can really feel the baby. This is all becoming very exciting!!!!!!!
Can't wait to meet our little pumpkin!
Here's my 18 week belly picture.
