18 Weeks 1 Day and Doing Fine....

It's been so long since I've updated this blog that I don't even know where to start!

I'll start with today, how about that!? Trav and I had our 18 weeks apt today and everything went great. I've gained 5.8lbs so far, the baby's heartbeat was 154bpm, blood pressure was great and then they took my blood for the Quad Screening. The Quad screening is supposed to detect any abnomalities such as Downs Syndrome, etc. They are supposed to call with the results in the next week and a half or so.....SO, until then I will try to forget about it so I don't worry myself sick. : ) OH....I forgot some really exciting news!! We went to Storkland in OKC after our apt and ordered the baby's crib and dresser!! We are extremely excited!!

The last couple of weeks have been fun AND busy! My friend Aubrie and I met up with my mom and uncle Tony in London May 23-26 and we had a blast! We went up in the London Eye, did the whole double decker bus tour, went shopping, and took the train to Kent, England to meet up with my uncle Tony's friends Carl and Jenn. My favorite site while we were there was seeing the countryside of England and all of the small towns that mostly consist of a school, church and ALWAYS a pub. haha! I thought that was funny! Anyway, we got back last Tuesday and I pretty much slept solid the following three days, besides going to work of course. : )

This last weekend Trav and I went to the lake to his grandparents' lakehouse and just relaxed and hung out. That was really nice since the last couple of weeks have been so hectic!

Some up-coming exciting news.......we are going to have an ultrasound done tomorrow at noon to HOPEFULLY find out the sex of the baby!!! Keep your fingers crossed!

I will post a belly picture here in a little bit when trav gets home and has time to take it for me! : )

I hope this blog finds all of you happy and healthy! I love you all!

16 Weeks 2 Days!!

Wow, what a busy couple of weeks it has been since my last post! We were gone 7 of those days on vacation with Trav's parent's, brother Chris and his fiance Paige.....on a CRUISE! We had alot of fun. I asked the doctor the week before we left for prescription motion sickness pills JUST IN CASE.....well, guess who got the use out of those pills...TRAVIS!! haha! Two days of the five day cruise Trav was pretty sea sick...but he handled it like a trooper. I have to admit, being out in the sun all day on vacation definitely made me crave a beer or two, I was pretty jealous of Trav but I managed to overcome the desire. ha. Anyway, we got back home Saturday night, unpacked and got ready for another work week.
Now, I'm re-packing for my trip to London tomorrow!!!! My mom headed over there Tuesday and has been hanging out partly by herself and partly with my uncle Tony (who lives there) and Aubrie and I are going to meet in Houston tomorrow and fly off together to London to meet my mom and uncle! We will be there three days and then all head back home together on Tuesday.
Pregnancy has been treating me GREAT the past several weeks. I have no complaints at all and I'm really enjoying this whole thing. Since about the last week I can clearly feel a bump below my belly button when I'm laying down.....it feels like a hard ball. It's so cool! Trav is amazed that he can feel it and has been feeling it every night and every morning. I can feel movements also every once in a while....it's a weird feeling but it's awesome. Trav can't feel anything yet from the outside as far as movement. Probably not too much longer though!!! : )
Well, when I get back next week I will try to give another update! I hope all of you are doing well!

Still Rockin' at 14 weeks 1 day

Well, hello peeps! Just a quick update before we go on vaca in just a few short days.....

Here is my 14 week photo just in case you are interested.....feeling like i'm getting a little thick at this point.

Trav and I had a Dr. apt today and nothing too exciting happened except we got to hear the heartrate of 158bpm! We also discovered that I have gained 1.8lbs......and so the weight gain begins! : ) The baby this week is the size of a clenched fist.....go ahead, clench your fist and check out the size of little baby K!

Meanwhile, I have been super busy preparing for our vacation in just 4 days! I have been working really hard at work to try to catch everything up so that my client's aren't freaking out next week. This has been extremely stressful....it seems like just as I get a handle on my workload I have people calling and coming in the office with a crisis that they want me to fix. Sometimes I feel like I have 300 children. I'm really not quite sure how the "working moms" that I work with do their job and have enough energy physically and emotionally to be good moms at home. I've been pretty overwhelmed lately just thinking about how I will juggle everything when the baby comes. We'll see!! : )

Kramar and Karl are also going on vacation next week and they are pumped! Kramar is going to his "nana's" (my moms) and Karlton is going to his "grandpa's" (my dads). Friday we will be giving them their baths so they will be all nice and fresh for their new home for a week. As you can see, they are waiting patiently..... : )

Until next time.........

Time is Flying....

Well, as you all can see, our 13 weeks ultrasound went great! Everything is measuring to be right on schedule. The ultrasound tech measured his/her little head and belly and everything was all good.....she said the head was the size of a quarter. It was absolutely amazing to see the little life inside of me move around, bouncing off of my uterus like a trampoline. I can't believe I couldn't feel it. The little guy was super active.....looks like we may have a mini-Travis on our hands! SCARY! haha. Oh, and the heartbeat was 143bpm....it's gone down since last time. Old wives tales would predict a boy at this point based on the heart rate.......hmmm......

I can't believe it has already been a week since that ultrasound! Today I'm actually 13 weeks 6 days and starting to feel more pregnant everyday. I'm starting to look thick in the middle to any onlookers. You'll see, I'll post a new belly picture here in a couple of days. Our next apt is in two days (Wednesday) which will be pretty uneventful besides getting to hear the heartbeat. They'll also weigh me and make me pee in a cup....FUN! : )

In other exciting news, Nate and Andrea come home this week! We are going to dinner with them Thursday night and mom and I are going to Tulsa to see Nate also on Friday. I can't wait to see him! In more exciting news, we are leaving for a cruise with Trav's parents and Chris and Paige on Sunday, May 10th! SIX more days!

I have one request to my readers.......please say a prayer for my aunt Beth who had surgery today for breast cancer. I love you Bethy!

I hope all of you are having a good Monday!
