Two ultrasounds confirm that we are having a.......

girl. At 14 weeks we had an ultrasound done and the u/s tech said that she saw no signs of boy parts and at one point the baby was in a position that the boy parts should have been dangling. But since it was so early she said that she could not be sure.

Fast forward to today. We had another u/s done to check on teh baby due to the Lupron situation and both the tech and doctor said that they were 90% sure that it was a girl. On the u/s you could see the clear three lines that mean a girl. Now I know that it is not 100% sure, but we are happy.

Daniel is estatic as when we told him he said whooo!!! I knew it. He has wanted a sister.

Cannot believe it

Today I went for my doctors appointment and I was suppose to receive a progesterone injection. Well, since this is my first one I have no idea what it is suppose to look like. Well, I get the injection and the nurse says you should be O.K. for about three months as she hands me this pamphlet that says Lupron. I was like, excuse me I should be getting a progesterone shot every week. The look on the nurses face went to panic as she said excuse me and she pretty much barged into the patient room where my doctor was seeing a patient and was inthe state of panic. At this point I was just getting extremely anxious and worried. My doctor then leaves the room and goes to her office and then the state of panic started. Anyway after all this my doctor had talked to another doctor, ect. and they all think everything should be fine, but noone really knows as a pregnant woman should not be receiving this medication. Just when I thought my pregnancy was going fine this happens. When I got home and all the panic and worry set in, along with the side effects of Lupron I was just in the state of a breakdown. I could not concentrate or anything.

Update: I spoke to the doctor the day after this incident happened and neither she nor any other doctor can find anywhere where it had an ill affects on that baby when someone received this mediation in their second trimestor. Again, noone really knows. She had said that if I had gotten this in the first trimester they would have suggester that I terminate the pregnancy. So, with that said I am still extremely worried, but just have faith that my baby will be fine. She did want me to go back to the peri for an u/s and a consult to check on the baby next week. So, I will. Please let this little one be healthy and normal.

Recent Ultrasound Pictures

Below are recent pictures of the baby, just taken a couple of days ago. It is amazing how much the baby has grown in a month. The baby is doing great. I will put the details of my visit with the high risk doctor in another post.

Long Time

I have not posted anything since posting that I got a BFP. That is due though to having been so sick with m/s. I hated having the feeling of wanting to puke all the time and puking at least once a day. I am feeling better now, so I will be doing some catching up posting. Below is the first picture of our baby. This was at seven weeks. We say that the baby looks like a turkey. It was the greatest thing though seeing the baby on the ultrasound with a heartbeat.

Got a BFP!!

Well, I got a suprise last Friday, it turns out that I am pregnant. I think I was in complete shock over the weekend, but now I am so excited. I am also so nervous as I do not want to lose this baby. My first apointment is not until Feb 11th, so I will have to wait until then to see if everything is alright with this baby.

Turning 3!!

Daniel had his third birthday. Where does the time go. I cannot believe he is that old now. He has his own personality, is trying to be Mr. Independent, by picking his own clothes, trying to get his own food out of the fridge, he has a great memory and having his own attitude as well. Here are some pictures of his third birthday.

I just love the look he had in the pictures. It was like he was saying to his little friend, ugh o.k., o.k.




A picture of his cake, which I made. Acutally made two, one was chocolate and one was vanilla. He loves cars to death and not just the Cars movie cars, but any cars, trucks and trains.

Playing Pin the Nose on the Clown. He did pretty good.

We let the kids make their own pizza. They had fun doing this.

Playing in the Snow!!

We finally had gotten some snow in the begining of March. Daniel has been waiting to go sleeding and playing in the snow. Here is a picture of him sleading. He loves to go sleeding.


He was having so much fun playing in the snow. He loved throwing snow at us.

It was great to finally get some pictures of him with a big smile.

Daniel and his snowman. We did not have much snow left, so we built a little snow man. He was so proud of it.

Big Boy Bed!!

Daniel had been a horrible sleeper in his day bed. He said he was scared, saw monsters, ect. We figured that his bed was not the most comfortable and that he was ready for a big boy bed. Since getting the big boy bed he is now sleeping in his bed most night (he use to be in our room every night) and he has taken naps two days in a row. Her is a picture of his big boy bed. He is a huge cars fan.

Christmas

I had a friend remind me that I am a little behind on posting on my blog. I cannot believe that Halloween is the last time I blogged on her. We had a nice Christmas in Florida, but it just did not seem like Christmas being so warm. Here are some pictures:

Posing for the camera:


I thought he was so adorable on this sleigh:

Here he is with his cousin. She is three weeks younger than him, but a couple inches taller:

Him with his Santa hat on:

Daniel got a bunch of toys for Christmas. I am happy as I needed the new toys to play with him with, as I was getting board of his old toys. We had a great Christmas though.

Sabrina

Halloween!!

This year he was a little golfer. Yes, it was a daddy influenced costume, but he actually picked it out himself before daddy ever said anything. When we went looking at the store he wanted to be superman or spiderman, but they did not have any in his side, so we decided that this would be the last year that we would be able to get something cute that he would not argue to much with, so we decided to order the little golfer outfit. He loved it, especially since it had some minature golf clubs.

He is too cute in this costume. I love the smile.

This look was one of no more pictures. Let's please go trick-or-treating. This year he did a good job of saying trick-or-treat, even if it did not come out too clear all the time. It was chilly outstide, which was upsetting as we had to put a coat on him, so it covered up some of his costume.

These are the pumkins that we carved. This is mamma bear pumpkins, papa bear pumpkin and baby bear pumpkin. Sounds like we watch the bernstein bears. He loves that show.

This is Dave and Daniel cleaning out Daniel's pumpkin. He loved helping carve the pumpkins.

Finally Potty Trained!!

Well, Daniel is finally potty trained. I thought this day would never come as he had just been so no, no, no about it. I know that there was no need to really worry as he was not three yet, but I still worried he was going to be in diapers forever.

I did not really believe it when people would say that one day they will just say that is it, no more diapers. But I do now as that is what Daniel did. One morning he woke up and I went to get a new diaper and he said no diaper and since then, except for when sleeping he has been in underware. He has only had a couple of accidents and one of them was number 2 (lets just say that pair of underware got thrown away). He has been doing really well and telling us when he needs to go when we are out. I am happy he is out of diapers and that Dave and I get a pay raise.

Fire Fighter

We found out that they were having an open house at a Fire Station near where live so we decided to take Daniel there because he loves firetrucks.

He was so excited to see the firetrucks and to actually get to go into them. He also loves to pretend drive all the time, so he really really loved getting into the firetrucks and pretend that he was driving. Can't tell her is happy can you?

They had little fire fighting outfits tht they could get in. I think he looks so adorable in his outfit. Maybe he will be a fire fighter when he grows up.

Pumpkin Patch!!

We decided to go to the pumpkin patch earlier this wear than when we went last year. We were glad we did because it was a beautiful day out and it was warm. We went to the same pumpkin patch we went to last year. Daniel was so excited to go, he kept saying we are going to get pumpkins.

Here he is sitting with his pumpkins. He picked the tiny one. He wanted one that was small, so it was easy for him to carry.

So many decisions, which pumpkin should I get?

He enjoyed feeing the sheep. We tooking him to the petting farm at the pumpkin patch to calm him down as he was having a major tantrum because we took him from the play area, which had a play car and if you know him you know he loves cars. All he wanted to do was play with the car. So we dragged him kicking and screaming to see the animals and after a couple minuts he calmed down and forgot about the car. Then all he could talk about was the hay ride, which we did next.

He is sitting on a swan in the picture. I like this picture as he has a smile.

Dosen't he look so sad in this picture. I think he looks cute though. He wanted to pretend drive the boat, but a bunch of bigger kids kept running before him, so he could not.

He wanted to sit at this table, so I figured it would be a cute picture.

He loves going down slides, so when there was one at the pumpkin patch he had to go on it.

We did have a good time and it is amazing how different it was than last year. He has grown up so much in a year.

My Birthday

On my birthday the best gift I got was hearing Daniel say Happy Birthday Mommy. He even tried to sing Happy Birthday to me. Last year he could not say Happy Birthday.

Potty Training Progress

Well, I think we are finally making some progress towards potty training. Not really sure if it is just a couple day thing. I hope not. I have so worried that he is still going to be in diapers until he is five. I know that boys are more difficult to get potty trained than girls, but ugh. His cousin who is three week younger has been potty trained for live five or six months.

Yesterday and today he went poo in the potty. Today he went pee in the potty once. We have used a little bribery like you will get M&M's if you use the potty and that has helped. I know they say you should not do that, but please if it works why not. He also likes to be just like mommy and daddy, so tonight when daddy was going potty he ran to the other potty saying go potty like daddy.

Oh, Daniel will love when he grows up to know I discussed this with so many people.

Long Time No Post

Well, it has only been ages since I posted on here. I guess life took over. I plan to start posting on here more often now. I will post soon.

Peed on the Potty!!

Today Daniel peed on the potty all by himself. I was getting his bath ready. Daniel had already taken off his pants and diaper. I heard him in the bathroom and I thought he was getting in trouble, but he came out and said pee-pee. I went into the bathroom and looked in his potty and he did go pee-pee all by himself without any prompting from me. I was so proud of him. At this point I do not know if he is truly ready for potty training as he will only be 22 months old soon, but we will see if he shows more interest in the next couple of days.

What is Daniel Up to?

Daniel has changed so much over the past couple of months. He has had pink eye in both eyes, poor little guy. He is now better from that. He is growing so fast. He is getting so tall and his feet are big. He is now in a size 8 shoe. He was just in a size 6. He was in a size 7 for like a month. Oh, well, I guess we will just be spending money on shoes, since he does not grow out of clothes that quickly.

Daniel now can open doors. He can open everydoor except for the front door. He can even open our sliding glass door, which I wish he could not do. He can now turn the faucets on in the bathroom sink. He can take off all his clothes by himself. He can put on his pants all by himself, he can put his shirt on by himself sometimes. He is doing pretty good at using his utencils to eat. He just tried using a spoon to eat soup and did a pretty good job.

In the morning the first thing he does when we come downstairs is go to the refrigerator and say juice, juice for his apple juice. If we are having pancakes or waffles he will go in the cabinet to get the pancake syrup.

He can help take the dishes out of the dishwasher. He helpe me feed the dog. He will pour the dry food into the bowl and then get a spoon for me so I can mix the moist food with the dry. He then takes the bowl of food to the dog for him to eat. Also, when the dogs water bowl is empty he will get it and give it to me to put water in it.

He loves books so much. We must read or look at at least ten books a day. He has to have them with him in the crib when he takes his nap and when he goes to bed. We usually have to take one or two when we leave the house. He can pick out and say what a lot of the animals are in the book. He can also pick out alot of the other things in his picture books. We are working on his colors, but he is not doing that well with them. He is starting to pick up knowing what some colors are, but not that many. He knows how to turn the TV on using the remotes. I know great skill there.

He also has a love for the keys to the mini-van. He always goes keys, keys to get them. On the subject of talking he is doing pretty well there. He is saying a lot of words now. He is saying to many for me to list. It is so cute that whenever he sees Elmo he says Elmo. He also just starting saying Dora when he sees Dora (funny as we really do not watch Dora and he only has one Dora book). The way he says please is so cute as it ends up sounding more liking he is hissing. He has been saying I love you for the past couple of months, but he says it so cute as he says I "ove" you and then rambles something else after that, that we have no clue what he is saying.

When we are getting ready to go, he will go to the closet and get my shoes and Dave's shoes. Well, he is doing so much more that I could go on and on and on, but that would be way to long.

Third Time the Charm!!

Well, I guess the third time is the charm. Today we took Daniel for a way overdue hair cute. We have been avoiding it as the previous two times have let to crying fits and him looking traumatized after each haircut. Today he did great. He did not cry or move that much. I was so happy that he did so well. Maybe now I do not have to worry so much about taking him to get a haircut. He looks like such a little man with his new hair cut. I guess he really is growing up. I will have to post some pictures when I take them.

Loves Books!!

Daniel loves books. Now when most kids have a blanket or stuffed animal or something like that, that they call their binkie, Daniel has books. I knew he loved books when starting around 16 months or so he would always bring us books for us to read. Starting recently now he has to take a book with him everywhere we go and he has to have at least two to three books in the crib with him when he sleeps. For ahwile there one Clifford book he had was his favorite book and we had to read it to him 3-4 times a day. He does have his favorite books though. I loved books when I was his age as well, so I guess he got it for me. I am happy that he loves to look at books and have us read to him.
