Fun for baby!

Yes, I bought another cool item for my baby!  I am having a blast!

A true Scare

Last night I ended up in ER.  I was having contractions at 17 weeks and 5 days pregnant.  I was so scared.  Thats all I could think of was "Am I miscarrying my pride and joy."  I was getting scared by the minute in the emergency room waiting and waiting.  I went in, they took blood, hooked me up to an IV line, had to do a urine sample, then I went for my Ultrasound.  That was when I was relieved.  My little ones heartbeat was 158, and it was a kicking, even though I could not feel it, but my baby is a live wire.  But all is good, and today just a little tender on the left side of pelvic wall, but all is well and my baby is doing great.   The reason for the contractions was because I was dehydrated and my magnesium was low.  I am so grateful it was nothing worse than that.  I am truly blessed :)

Giraffe for baby's room

So I went to a rummage sale this past weekend and found this smashing deal.  My plan is to have the baby's room decorated in the Jungle theme.  I thought what an awesome idea, I found this wonderful creature at a rummage sale for TWO dollars and he looks almost brand new.  What a deal, and he is so cute!! Dale even fell in love with him.  I am having such a blast with all this baby stuff!

Heartbeat

On Friday, I had a doctors appointment. It was great to hear my baby's heartbeat.  It was a nice strong heartbeat, and it didn't take the doctor long to find my baby's heartbeat.  I am so happy to be starting a family.  It is nice to have a husband that goes to every doctors appointment with me, even if some of them are only 10 minutes long.  I am truly blessed to be loved so much, and this baby has overflowing love from its mommy and daddy, I just can't wait for my baby's arrival.  Yes, I am starting on my 17th week and getting more and more excited by the minute.  Can't wait for my little Richter to arrive :)  We are so excited to meet you lil one, love mommy and daddy!
