IT'S A BOY

Baby Rucker


It's definately a BOY


His leg and foot


His hand


His first outfit and toy. We found out right before we went to the Suns game!!!


So after the big disappointment last Thursday, we finally got to find out what we were having today! We couldn't be happier to say WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!! We had both been thinking that was going to be the outcome... to tell you the truth we would have been completely shocked if it was a girl. I have been referring to it as a "he" since the first day we found out we were prego. So I guess we were right, and so was EVERYONE else that thought that too. (I don't think I had one person tell me they thought it was a girl)

The ultrasound went great. It was a level II because of some of my medical conditions, so it was pretty thorough. The tech explained everything she was doing and measuring. They said everything looked perfect and health. My expected due date is now May 18th. After our appt, we headed to the Suns vs Cavs game, despite me being sick for the past week and feeling terrible. (The tickets were my Christmas present to Jesse!) It was a blast even though they lost. We bought our son his first little out fit and toy! We couldn't pass up getting our boy some Suns gear!!!

Better Luck Next Time....

So we went to the ultrasound today....but we didn't get to find out what we are having. The baby's legs were crossed, the cord was going between the legs and the placenta was covering where she needed to see and the baby would not budge. Stuborn little thing! (It must take after me!) So at first the lady was saying it was a girl and then she thought boy. She couldn't give us a for sure answer so we left knowing there was a 50% chance of a boy and 50% chance of girl. Umm... hello, we already knew that. Needless to say, we were both pretty bummed and pissed off. Luckily, we have to have an ultrasound Monday anyways, so hopefully the baby will be a little more cooperative. We really really want to know before Christmas.

BOY or GIRL??

So we find out this Thursday what we will be having!!! We are both so excited! We thought it wasn't going to happen this week, but there was no stopping us. We were determined to find out! Of course Jesse is hoping for a boy and as for me, I would be really excited for either. Anyone have any guesses now? I will definately post on here as soon as we find out Thursday!

Here are a couple of the ultrasound pictures that Dr.Gebert did while I was visiting Michelle in Texas.

13 weeks 3D ultrasound




Here is a profile shot


Here I am at 16 weeks.... trying to convince myself that maybe you can see a baby bump if you squint....I know I will regret ever being sad about not looking prego when I am HUGE later on. :-)

A Little Dull

It's kinda weird with how little has gone on in our lives recently. For one, we're expecting our first child in May and there just isn't much to really blog about. Second, with Christmas coming up there still isn't much to blog about except the fact we are both so excited for this time of season. The colder weather, gloomy skies that actually kinda make it feel a little Christmasy, the holiday music on the radios, and most of all, the PRESENTS!!! HAHA! And last, we're both just still working and I'll start school again on January 20 at the beginning of the upcoming decade, lol. I'm still working for Direct TV and Mallory is still working at Junky Trunk and also helping her brother a couple hours a day at his office. Which has been nice getting the extra money so we can buy gifts for people this year, lol. But I guess the most recent thing that has happened was Mallory went to Texas for a week for her best friend Michelle's baby shower. They are having their second child and we just love them. As much as I missed my beautiful wife while she was gone, I did love watching my sports games all day, lol. She'll let me watch some while she's here but I got to watch it all day, lol. We'll have some pictures to post up soon of the next ultrasound we are having done on the 17, which should be THE ULTRASOUND. That's the one where we hopefully find out we are having a boy. Lol, well as a guy I hope it's a boy and of course Mallory wants to dress up a cute girl. But in the end, we both just want a really happy and healthy baby. So either a boy or a girl will definitely be the best blessing in our lives. So until then that's really all that has been going on around here.

BABY RUCKER

6 WEEKS

8 WEEKS


Any guesses on what you guys think it will be? Hopefully we will find out before Christmas!

BABY ON THE WAY....

So here's just a little update: Jesse and I have been trying to get pregnant for the past 6 months with no luck. I began seeing a fertility specialist at the end of July and had some tests run the beginning of August. The results were not what we had hoped for. They told me that because of my medical problems and the things they had found it would make it harder for me to get pregnant. I would most likely have to do different procedures in order to get pregnant. So as September came around we were trying to figure out which option would be best and most affordable. Just a week before I was suppose to go back in... I kept having this random feeling to take a pregnancy test. I kept putting it off because I didn't want to read another "negative" result. After finding out a couple MORE of my close friends were pregnant I decided to just take it... to my suprise it said "pregnant" I ran downstairs and asked Jesse if I misread the test (even though it was a digital one and its kinda hard to misread) He about died... I still couldn't believe it... I took 4 more tests out of shock..and had a blood test done. I was in fact pregnant. We just had our first ultrasound done this week. I am 6 weeks 5 days pregnant. Which means I will be due May 24th, 2010. We got to see the teeny tiny baby and hear its heartbeat. It was the most amazing thing ever! Granted, the baby is about the size of a grain of rice and in the picture it doesn't really look like anything. I still can't believe it. The cool part is, I get to be pregnant the same time as all my best friends. Michelle is due in Jan, Tiffany and Brittani are due in Feb, Kallie is due in April and Me in May. Not to mention the rest of my good friends who are all pregnant right now too. CRAZY huh! We are both SOOOOO excited now ( we were too scared to be excited at first because of my medical problems) Seriously we can't wait to meet our little one! Jesse is of course hoping that it is a boy and as for me, I really don't care. I am just so excited to have a baby. We should find out what we are having before Christmas. I don't know if we can wait that long!!!
More to come later....
