21 Weeks

I know, I know, Im bad! Its been forever since an update it jsut seems latley that if it isnt laying on the couch Im not up to doing it. I have been very tired latley but thats ok with me. I still am having morning sickness. I am back to taking my sickness meds 2 times a day, and still getting sick on some days so I have a feeling it will stick with me until he is born. Nick is back home now and its so wonderful to have daddy home! We have picked out the paint color for little mans room, it is a beautiful blue called carribean coast. Nick installed a fan in little mans room last night so thats exciting, we are on the way to making it offically his room. We went to a pumpkin patch this morning with shauna and jared and taylor, here is a picture of us :) Here is a link to our new shutterfly site http://thebrownfamilyclarksville.shutterfly.com/

How far along: 21 weeks

Movement: Yes, mainly all inside you cant really feel it from the outside

Week 16 - Offically 4 months pregnant :)

Hey everyone,

Yep its true, not only am I 3 weeks into my second trimester but I am offically 4 months now! So I am super happy! I have been tired alot lately and going to bed around 9 and then not sleeping well thru the night. I feel bad because I havent been able to spend alot of time with nick, it seems like once he or I get home from work, its eat and then sleep. I am working 2 days a week and every other sat and its really nice to have something out of the house to keep my mind off another day of indigestion and growing pains. Other then that things have been pretty normal around here, the puppies are getting big! They are running around and playing and barking. Needless to say they are a handful! Next week on tuesday I have my next OB appt and next wednesday I have a CF appt and then work thur, friday, and saturday so its going to be a really long and busy week. Well thats pretty much the latest from us here :)

How far along: 16 weeks

Best moment this week: Being able to talk to our little BOY and know that its our son that is growing in me.

Movement: Tiny flutters is what Im feeling but no real kicks yet

Milestones: 4 months along now

Our Little Man

Im sure most of you have heard us yelling it from the roof tops........

IT'S A BOY

Here are a couple of pictures from the ultrasound, I will try and upload the video of the ultrasound so that everyone who did not get to watch it can see it :)

ULTRASOUND INFORMATION

Hey everyone :)

Well the last week has been eventful. As most of you know last wed morning I woke up at 3:30 in the morning coughing up blood. It was about a full cup of blood which was the most I have ever coughed up. I knew that being on my blood thinner was not helping the situation so I was worried. I woke up nick and asked him to call 911. By the time they got here I had settled down and was not coughing up stright blood anymore but still a mixture. They took me by ambulance to the local hospital where they did test and then talked to my doctors and decided to send me to vandy in nashville which is where my doctors are at. They transported me by ambulance to vandy. My first time ever in an ambulace and 2 rides in one day! So I spent 2 1/2 days in the hospital so they could make sure that there was no more blood. Since then my chest has been really tight. They extended my IV's and extra week so hopefully that will get down to the infection that is down in my chest.

Well friday is ultrasound day :) As long as little bug coroperates we will find out if we are having a daughter or a son and if you can be around a computer at 11:30 central / 12:30 eastern you can find out live with us! Yep we are having the ultrasound streamed live so that everyone can sign onto the computer and watch live as the ultrasound is being done! Below is the info on where to go and how to sign on. Now I would suggest that you try to sign on before friday and make sure that you can get to the page. When you get to the page a windows media player ( your computer must have windows media player ) box will appear in the middle of the screen. Now on friday I am not sure if it will just start to play at the time 11:30 / 12:30 (depending on where you live) or if you will need to press the play button. My suggestion is at the start time if it does not seem to start playing on its own every minute or so I would press the play button.

To get to the place go to http://www.4dpeek.com/

Who is Bigger...Mommy or Puppy? 11 Week Pictures

I know I am behind and as many people have reminded me (fea) :) I really need a new picture up. Well here is the latest picture taken tonight as I am 11 1/2 weeks.

The question of the day is who is bigger me or jayden :) I have to put my vote on her. She is due to have her puppies within the next week and a half so you will see the puppy updates soon!

Needless to say poor nick is dealing with 2 pregnant women in the house and jayden is at the about to pop misrale stage and I am entering the ughhh where Im actually starting to feel pregnant in the stomach area. So our house is intrestering :)

One thing checked off the list

Well we have one big thing checked off our list.....the nursery furniture (except the chair). We already have a dresser and night stand in expresso that we had bought for the adopted child. So we didnt really see the need to buy another one. So we looked at some and found one that I liked ( as nick says there all wood to me ) and he thought looked nice so we went to the baby store to look at the changing table for the set and was not that impressed. Nick mentioned that he would really like to have an all wood crib since this will be our childs bed for years to come. So we came home and looked some more and found a set that has a solid wood crib. So here it is........................

Better late then never

Its been about 2 and a half weeks since the latest update. Things around here have been very busy. We went on our family vacation with my family to FL weeks ago. It was a great time even thou I spent my time "tossing my cookies" and sleeping on the couch most of the time. We had a really good time! Getting back home and back into the routine was alot on both of us.

For about 3 and a half weeks now I have been visted by what I call all day sickness. Morning, noon and night time does not matter to my stomach. The docs put me on zofran and phenegren to help stop it but even on that I am still getting sick. So hopefully by week 13 it should settle down.

On July 6th we had our first OB appt, which was big because we graduated from the RE to the OB. Our ultrasound meausred out at 8 weeks 3 days putting our due date as feb 12, 2009. They said the ultrasound looked good and little bugs heartbeat was measured at 180 bpm. We will go back on Aug 4th for our next appt and ultrasound.

I have been browsing nursery furniture just to get some ideas and try and find something differnt then every single person I know has. I found a set that I really like at jcpenny and nick says he likes too, but you all know men, its all the same to them :) So I am deff keeping that set in mind! It's a little bit more then we were hoping for but like I have told nick all along. I really am not holding back on little bug, never in my wildest dreams did I think that the dream I had as a little girl to be a mom would come true. I am only able to do this once and I want to make it as special as it can be, so what if the furniture is like $400 more then I was expecting, we are never going to be able to do this miracle journey again in our life.

We have added a guessing poll to the right side of the page, go ahead and play our game and give us your guess of what you think little bug will be....boy or girl :)

I will update with some new 9 week pictures this week soon

Love to you all!

Week 6

How far along: 6 weeks

Best moment this week: Seeing Bug's heartbeat

Movement: I'm sure there is but nothing I can feel yet

Milestones: Morning Sickness is here! It's all day long!
