154 Days to Go!

I have been getting asked TONS of questions lately since I haven't updated so here you go.

My doctor's appointment on Friday went well. My blood pressure is back down to normal which is really good and I was really happy about. Also, I still haven't gained any weight, but my doctor is very pleased with that. It's weird cause even though I haven't physically gained any weight my belly is getting bigger and harder and its harder for me to hold/suck in. I did NOT get to see Baby Jones on the sonogram because we were able to hear the heartbeat on the doplar and everything sounded great.

We talked to the doctor about my 20 week sonogram (which is the one when you usually find out the sex). She said that since we are going to go to a perinatologist to see about the cleft lip and cleft palate we will just look at that time and figure out the sex. That appointment had not been set yet, but should be within the next two weeks. She also said that once I am farther along (and tha baby is bigger/easier to see) we will do a second 4d sonogram at her office to double check the face. I will work very hard on getting pictures from both of those appointments and post them here. As soon as I know when the perinatologist appointment is, I will post it here.

Everyone keeps asking if I have felt the baby move yet. The answer is I don't know for sure. There has been once or twice when I have felt a fluttering type movement in my lower abdomen when I am laying in bed, but there hasn't been anything really definate. I am hoping I will be able to start feeling it move soon.

Everyone also wants to know what sex Jason and I want to have. We don't really care, we just want a healthy baby. Maybe we are leaning toward a girl, but either is totally fine. We do have a girl name decided on - Audrey Lynn Elizabeth Jones. No decision on boys names yet. I am ready to know the sex so I can start thinking about all the fun stuff like nursery decorations and clothes!

Ok, thats all the baby news. I spent my weekend in Oklahoma City. We went for Devan's wedding which was very pretty. It was plain and simple, but beautiful. I really liked it and Devan looked AWESOME. It was kind of cute because she forgot the rings in the dressing rooms so when they got to the part where they are supossed to exchange rings they had to borrow her parents rings. It was cute and not a big deal. She handled it well though. She did turn a little red for a bit, but it was fine and everyone just chuckled about it. I also got to see Sarah and Colin, Dr. Xiao, and Dr. Hill. It was good and lots of fun. I also got to go downstairs in the PEC and see the new labs that they did over the summer. Jason and I also made it out to Dr. Gaither grave and that was really sad and hard. I miss her a lot more than I thought I did. She was one amazing lady. Anyway, I had a good fun weekenk. Jason and I got stuck in really bad traffic on the way home to Fort Worth for about an hour. After that hour they shut down the highway we had been sitting on and we had to turn around and find a new way home. It was more than 100 miles extra and almost 6 hours of a trip overall (usually it takes 3). Oh well, it wasn't too terrible.

I think thats all the news I have. I will probably be updating again soon when I know the next appointment date and so forth.
