GIRL!!!!!!!

We are very excited to know the gender and that we are having a girl. The Dr. was pleased that the baby was still on schedule after all the sickness I have had in the last 2 weeks. Here is an ultrasound pic taken today and so I put the original on and a zoomed in version of it.

update

Finally feeling a little more normal health wise. So I am very Thankful for that and also that my mom has arrived for a week. We were all very happy to see her last night, but Jaren was extremely happy to see her. He just kept smiling and reached for her.
Next week is filled with Dr. visits for me. I go Monday to the specialist and Wednesday for my ultrasound and OB visit. Hoping little Bean cooperates and we can find out what we are having.

SICK!

I told Dan the other day I didn't when I was ever going to get better. :) Being so sick during this pregnancy again and then Thanksgiving night got very sick and have been since. So going into day 6 of this. Sat. night my Stomach cramps had been bad enough that my OB Dr. wanted me to go to Labor and Delivery and make sure all was okay with the baby. Got there and then it took 25 min to find the heart beat because the baby was in a weird spot I guess. Once they did it was 160 which was good. They also monitored me to make sure the cramping wasn't labor. After all that checked out okay they sent me home and told me to go to the Dr. office Monday if still having problems, which I was. Once again they made sure all was okay with baby and the Dr. got the heart beat right away! They think because I am pregnant that it is taking a lot longer to get over whatever I have. If this is not clearing up by tomorrow then I have to have more testing done. Praying I am over this by then. So far to day has been a little better so that's good.
Jaren is not liking the idea of Mommy being down physically and not able to do much but he and Dan are coping. In exciting news my Mom is coming Friday night to be here for a week. We are very happy to be able to see her, but it is too bad my dad couldn't come too.

Have a good day!

Fall

The other day was very nice. So we went out for a while and these pics are some of the fun Jaren had.

In other news I went to the Dr. today and we got to hear the heartbeat. I am 16 1/2 weeks now so nearing the 1/2 way point. I am still pretty sick so they are keeping me on Zofran until that subsides which is hopefully soon. Dr. Says everything is going well other than my sickness. :)

News Now!!!

Just thought I would post on here that we are having a baby due around April 24, 2012. We are very excited and my due date is 1 week after Jaren's 3rd Birthday. I have been very sick but hoping that start to subside soon. It makes things very different this time around with a little one running around. I am currently 9 1/2 weeks.

Praying for 5 Year old Jack Buensiek

Here is a link to be able to follow what is happening with this little boy. I can't imagine what his Parents, John and Ada, are going through. I know what it was like having Jaren in the hospital for 5 days and getting answers, but this would be so hard. Please help in Praying for this little guy. He needs our prayers desperately as well as his parents and extended family.
On the link I guess you will have to copy and paste because it is not letting me post as a link when I try to do it.

Senior Trip

Dan has been teaching at the Pleasant Hills AWM School this past year and we were voted Senior Sponsors. This last Wed-Sat we went to D.C., Delaware and N.J.

Hoping to get pics up soon. I forgot my camera at home so Brittany took lots and so she is going to give me a copy of hers.

We had a lot of fun, but we all came back very exhausted.

Here are a couple pics I downloaded from my cell phone. these were on the Ferry ride from Lewes, Delaware to Cape May, NJ
