Brynlee

Today I am resting, and hopefully I will be resting for 7-8 more weeks! I went to the Dr. this morning and after several exams, sonograms, my Dr. told me to go get in bed! I am not dialated (thank God), but my cervix is shortening, so I have to be off my feet so Ms. Brynlee can cook for hopefully 7-8 more weeks! I was initally scared, a little freaked out, ok alot freaked out. BUT, then my Dr. and nurse reminded me I had Jackson early-36 weeks-and he was and is fine-no nicu time, etc. So, we want to make it past 36 weeks so she has the best chance of no nicu time, and can be a good size. Right now she is 3.1 pounds at almost 31 weeks. So, I am taking it one-day at a time. Every week we gain is a blessing, so please pray for 8 weeks, and if we get 6-7 I will be overjoyed!

I am so thankful for the support I have around me-Kyle, mom, gabby, best friends,nanny etc have offered to help out extra to get us through this last stretch of the pregnancy. I'll be blogging alot more since I have all this time on my hands-lol! I'm glad I have all my Christmas shopping done. Kyle will have to finish wrapping though!

Happy Monday!

It's A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kyle and I had a sonogram this morning to confirm the gender of our baby #3 and IT IS A GIRL!! I am still in shock-happily, and sooooo excited! We made the sonographer confirm 4 times that she is a "she" and SHE IS!!! Now, onto names, how to style the room-OH, I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to tell the boys today!


I think she looks like Jackson's pictures looked at this stage! She has my chin, but we will get a better look later in the pregnancy!


Confirmation she has girly parts!


Now, I am off to take Jackson to the Dr for his 2-year check-up and shots :( I think we will go get some PINK cookies afterwards! He, he :)

Week 15

Belly picture update: Baby Houser is finally starting to make him/herself known-yay! I know it sounds cheesy, but I am so happy to finally look somewhat pregnant in my clothes! I can't believe we will be 4 months next week, and next Friday we will hopefully, God-willing, know if we will meet he or she in February! Eeeeeek I am so excited! Here is an updated picture-please excuse the PJ's-about to go to bed :)



Tomorrow is my Baby's 2nd Birthday-can't believe it! I will have an overload of pictures from his party!!

Pink???

We had our ultrasound appointment at the perinatal dr this am & here's what happened:
Baby is healthy (thank you Jesus)
Everything looks perfect-heart, lungs, kidneys, bone-structure, etc!
Baby had one arm up by his/her face-so cute!
Baby was in perfect position for measurements!
Baby was in a tougher position to determine sex 100%
Dr did say she thinks baby "has girl parts", but not to go shopping or paint room just yet! Ha!
We should know for sure in one month! Yay!

I'm so thankful baby is healthy & growing perfectly-about 3 inches right now ;)

We are on our way to SA to visit Jan, Ohm, & baby Chase!!!!

Ughhh

My patience is being tested! Tomorrow we were going to find out the sex of baby #3, BUT earlier today I get a phone call: "Mrs. Houser, I'm sorry, but the Dr. had an emergency & will not be able to see you tomorrow".....

Ughhh, annoying, but we have a rescheduled appointment for Thursday at 11:00 a.m. At least it's before we leave for SA!

I'll update after Thursday ;)

Growing Fun

Kyle made my Bday this past weekend THE.BEST!
Here is what I did on my special day:

Woke up to this:



Had brunch with 2 of my Handsome boys at Breadwinners!

Shopped at Pickles & Ice Cream for some cute future-maternity wear!

Took a wonderful nap!

Bryce called me from SA and sang "Happy Birthday" to me!! Of course, I cried!

Kyle told me to be ready by 5:30 p.m. for my surprise!

He took me to Mi Cocina where some of my best girlfriends were there to surprise me! Thanks, honey, for such a special day, and for pulling-off a sweet surprise!

I also bought these Sunday....for our upcoming appt in 2 days! Can't wait to find out!



My tummy is finally poking out a little-I am still wearing my regular clothes, but they are getting a little snug-yay!:)

Number 3

My favorite name to be called is: Mama, Mommy, Mom, Mommies by my two precious boys! In February, I will be having another precious baby! Kyle and I are so excited! We don't know the sex yet-just finished the first trimester, but next week we are having the triple-screen tests, which will include an in-depth sonogram. So, if baby #3 cooperates, we may know if we are having another baseball player, or a princess :)

I love learning, or relearning what the baby is doing from my daily updates, and this week the baby is testing out his/her reflexes, synapses are forming (this is the nerdy drug rep in me that thinks this is so cool); kidneys are excreting urine into bladder, and eyes have moved from the side to the front of the head where they should be!

It's so hard to believe baby is only 2.5 inches, and the size of a large plum. So cute :) I m feeling GREAT-sometimes I even forget I'm pregnant except for my HUGE boobs-ha! I am still doing my bootcamp, working, and wearing my clothes, so I'm just waiting for this baby to show!

Pics of 11-12 weeks:



We have names picked out, so I will share as soon as we know the sex!! Yay! Have a wonderful weekend! We are celebrating my 34th B-day! :)
