Not only have I changed my mind about many things while being pregnant, but since I’m completely indecisive about the 3D/4D ultrasound, I need your opinion.
My whole pregnancy I have been against doing the 3D/4D ultrasound because I think that it’s creepy. I have thought that it would be the biggest waste of money and that I would not enjoy it.
Well now that I’m 34 weeks pregnant it’s a whole other story.
The 3D/4D ultrasound popped into my head yesterday and now I’m torn about it. Maybe because [click to continue…]
Dear Non-Pregnant Person,
I hope you find these guidelines helpful in your interactions with pregnant women, as failing to follow them may result in serious physical harm. If you are thinking, surely she doesn’t mean me – then you should probably read this twice.
1. The appropriate response to a couple telling you they are having a baby is ‘Congratulations!’ with enthusiasm. Any other response makes you a [click to continue…]
I posted last week about my OB wanting me to have another ultrasound to check the growth, anatomy, and “esp. cardiac”. I told you my worries about this and how Tarzan calmed me down. I really have a wonderful husband! Even though I was anxious when we got to the hospital, all of those feelings went away as soon as the ultrasound started.
Our ultrasound tech. was really great and explained so much more of what we were seeing than the other tech. did. We saw a lot more detail this time around too. We saw all four [click to continue…]
Whew, what a day yesterday was!
First, if you didn’t see the last blog post or any of the Twitter tweets, and if you didn’t guess from the title of this blog post, I’ll clue you in: We are having a boy!
We are so excited and couldn’t be happier, but the day didn’t start off that way. In fact, it was a bit rough!
I was so excited about the big ultrasound this week that I couldn’t sleep. I was up at 2 am and wasn’t able to fall back asleep. I was a hot [click to continue…]
Pregnant Jane ready for the ultrasound!
It has been a very, very long day for Jane and I! We both didn’t get much sleep at all because we were so excited about the ultrasound today. The day has been so long, I barely remember even writing the blog post before this one and had some good laughs at myself! So that means I’m either going crazy or I’m in need of much needed sleep.
The day started out pretty rough once we left the house. I’ll let Jane fill you guys in on all of those details because she was not nice to me. Yes, sadly I got to see the fire-breathing dragon again thanks to those pregnancy hormones [click to continue…]
Poor Jane couldn’t get back to sleep after I went to bed at 1 something this AM. I couldn’t fall asleep for a couple of hours. Jane came out here at 2 AM, replied to her blog post that has like 500 comments and watched TV.
Poor girl only got a few hours of sleep. I only got around 3 or so.
We both had crazy and funny dreams last nigh – both had pregnant people [click to continue…]
My mind is buzzing with so many thoughts. So much going on. I just put Jane to bed and I sat on the couch for a moment and let all my thoughts come crashing down on me.
I guess this post will be one of my ‘brain dump’ posts I’ve found myself doing from time to time.
Update: Within this post I share a BIG secret I’ve never talked about before. You’ll see in a moment. But first… [click to continue…]
If you’ve been reading this blog for some time, you know that our *big* ultrasound is tomorrow! We are so excited (I’m not sure how I’ll sleep tonight), but that’s not what I want to talk about right now. I’ve encountered the first time I think I’ve hurt my mom’s feelings while being pregnant and it has to do with this ultrasound.
Throughout my 17 weeks of being pregnant so far, my mom has never asked to go to any of our appointments. We call her right after each appointment to fill her in. After our first [click to continue…]
The journey to becoming a father is a strange one at times; I’ll give it that. All of the realizations, thoughts, feelings, and more that I’ve shared on our pregnancy blog over the last month and a half have all been big… but not as big as what is about to come.
On Wednesday, Pregnant Jane will have an ultrasound and we’ll learn if we’re having a boy or girl.
On Wednesday, our current “baby” will become our son or daughter.
On Wednesday, everything officially becomes REAL for me! Ahhhhhh!
I think for a pregnant women, [click to continue…]
I just created a new page that you can see on the top of our blog called, Cost of Having a Baby. We decided to create this page to help give other soon-to-be parents, who are in our situation, an idea of how much it costs to have a baby – and what you can roughly expect to spend monthly.
As explained on the cost of having a baby page, we live in a large city, so the monthly costs for having a baby may be higher for us compared to someone who lives in a small town. So this will at least give you an idea of what’ll be coming as far as doctor bills, hospital bills, blood work, ultrasounds, [click to continue…]
