So... Hi. =) My blogs have taken a backseat lately although I have finally started rolling the vlogs out. (Although, I am slowly putting them up so I don't have long gaps in between finding the time to do them!)Well, things have been pretty fantastic. Sophie has a fairly routine night schedule now. Asleep by about midnight and up b/w 6-8 to eat. Then after eating and another...

Eeeee! Last day before Sophie! I have my "To-Do Before Baby" list out and am trying to just... feel ready. On one hand, I totally do, but on the other... how can anyone feel completely ready for a baby?It just feels so surreal. We are going to attempt to keep updates traveling out via this site and our twitter. Obviously this depends on what exactly is happening and...

So, I made it to the 36 weeks or 9 months of pregnancy. Wow. I am going to let the vlog do the updating for me, but to sum up: I have preeclampsia and am being induced on labor day (harhar), UNLESS my blood pressure goes up too high, then it will be earlier. Sooooo... no one stress me out! =) The most potentially stressful thing I have...

First... Linda, you can get the tree here: http://storesense4.megawebservers.com/modernwallgraphics_com/-strse-250/wall-decal-sticker-graphic/Detail.bokAlright... so as we speak my husband and my father-in-law are sawing a hole in my wall downstairs. *sigh* This is to install some super fancy flush in the wall digital thermostat that K deems "totally worth it"... Well, okay then. Although we already had a nice digital thermostat, but he promises more efficiency. We'll see. We have two AC...

So you know that little elephant ticker in the header of my blog that says 33 days until Sophie arrives? Apparently it knows nothing b/c ready or not, she is coming early.That's right. I had my doctor's appointment today and with all my confidence that "it was just PUPPPS" it turns out that I have a few other issues going on and now little Sophie does too. (watch...

Hey all!So, feeling confident I just have PUPPPS (although, ICK!) because my doctor's office has a No News is Good News policy and it has now been a week and no call! Nice. Have my normal Dr.'s appointment on Thursday where we will figure everything out. At my last appointment the Dr. was all about getting the baby delivered at term (37 weeks) but I am hopeful we...

Watch my 34 week Vlog for a real update, I don't quite feel like writing it all out, it was easier to just talk about it.Long story short, I either have PUPPPs or Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (see HERE or HERE. )We are hoping it is PUPPPS (as weird as it sounds to prefer that) because it doesn't come with all the dangers. Honestly, I really think it...

Hello all! Had my Doctor's appointment today and my belly was looking HORRIBLE so I figured something was wrong. Turns out my skin is reacting very poorly to the stretching. Basically, the baby is growing perfectly but my belly is not. =( My skin freaked out! So it is all red and raised and looks AWFUL, but she said I am doing everything right (moisturizing, not scratching) and...

I finished the...

Vlog will be posted delayed this week.We went on the Maternity Tour at the hospital this evening. It was a lot of information and thankfully not a ton of walking, although I wasn't having an issue with that, fortunately. While the instructor was going through everything, I got this surge of anticipation/excitement. I wrote "Eeeeeee" on the bottom of a piece of paper and passed it to K....

Hello all. The house is coming along nicely. We are now at that "all the little things" stage, which is actually much more annoying than the "big stuff" stage. For example, the game room is done... except for organizing all the workstation stuff. The bedroom is done... except for organizing the closet. Get the picture? Just all the remaining "things" so the house is currently in this kind...

We had a DAY today. At 9 this morning we went in for the 4D ultrasound accompanied by my mother, MIL, SIL, and sister. It was awesome! I was told I had excellent fluid, so all that water guzzling has paid off. The baby looked, well, adorable, but I am totally biased. I will post pics and the video some time this weekend.We rushed back from that to...

Hey everyone! By now most of you know that we had a scare at the doctor's appointment on Thursday that resulted in an emergency ultrasound, a 36 hour hospital stay, and bitten nails. The fear was Preeclampsia but it turned out to be a severe bladder infection, still not good when you are pregnant but much preferable to preeclampsia. I didn't realize I had an infection because the...

We are ending out the 2nd trimester, huzzah! Baby just LOVES to repeatedly kick mommy SUPER high. Honestly, she hardly seems to sleep anymore.I get my rh-negative RhoGam shot next week.

We had the anatomy ultrasound as well as my midpoint Dr.'s appointment. Everyone is perfect! Baby Girl Hale was asleep the whole time and really didn't want to be woken up. My due date has been changed from September 26 to September 29. Are we taking bets on having an October baby, yet? Baby weighed half a pound and all organs and limbs were perfect. She measured a...

*Sigh* Woe is us: We cannot decide on a name. There are so many names we like/love but nailing one down? Not happening. Tip: Suggesting names? Not helping. Hearing a name and then saying, "I like THAT name." Not helping. Asking if we have thought of names yet? Not helping.Today we made one of many of the larger purchases for Baby H: A fancy-smancy Eddie Bauer Travel System....

That's right... we are having a little girl! We had a Doctor's appointment today and both Mom and Baby are doing great. We even got to watch her wiggle, squirm, kick, and wave across the screen during the ultrasound. She is already adorable.[CLICK on the photos for a bigger view]If you look closely you can see her little bent leg and foot kicking Mom.Love,Kyle and Court ...

About 7 weeks. My estimated due date is still September 26, but the ultrasound put the baby a little younger, due on the 29, but it could just be small. The next time I see the doctor I will ask when my actual due date is, haha.Everything is good! Healthy and a strong heartbeat which we heard. We both just grinned. I still can't believe it... so amazing!...

Hey everyone! Just a quick update on our first prenatal visit.Everything went well, I have gained weight so I was NOT happy about that. Since I am not starting off in that great of shape I was hoping to not gain any the first trimester. (And yes, unless you are really thin, that is okay.) Oh well! They took 18 -no, that is not a typo- 18!! vials...
