21 week update

I'm 21 weeks pregnant today. We had our Gender Reveal Party This past Sunday. It was a blast I feel totally blessed that we had people come to share in the moment when we found out the gender of our un born baby. We had sandwiches, crock pot dishes, chips & dips, punch and soda. And of course the reveal cake, I tricked everyone with a scratch off reveal ! so fun !! then came time to cut the cake !!! I was so excited. I voiced early on I know it's boy... so many voiced they know it's a girl ! Well the moment of truth came.... I cut into the cake pulled up the knife and looked for pink or blue icing with nothing.... cut again still nothing pulled the cake out couldn't see anything and then the blue candy came rolling out ...... It's a boy !!!! I knew it !!! Mattheus Ayden "Theus" We will have Alexander "Alex" Cameron "Cam" Zackariah "Zack" & Mattheus "Theus" and the girls Isabella "Bella" & Emmaleigh "Emma" soooo excited ...... I spent time with friends and family until late that night snuck  away to make a reveal video, which I will post at the bottom. my friend who helped with the cake a special picture of the boy parts which I didn't know she had which will be posted with all the videos. I dropped the kids off at my moms. I didn't get in bed until 1am. Monday was my doctor appointment.  I had my ultrasound and They made me redo my pelvic swabs and blood work...ugh then I talked to the midwife about the the pediatrician on duty over riding my wishes. Since they only have one group of pediatricians allowed at the hospital. She said she didn't they they would but they could. Then talked to me about going to see Cathy, the midwife who delivered Isabella. She told me I would get a more natural birth with Cathy. Plus they have a level 3 NICU. and I have more choices to pediatricians. They take my insurance. They have a birthing center as well as as a L&D. Much more freedom the issue is 26 miles to hammond where I was going to delivery, Cathy is in New Orleans 46 miles away. Which is a little more than an hour. Also I have more family in that direction, Hammond is in the other direction. so I will have more family to help with the kids. If my mom is at work I won't have anyone to help with the kids for the night or two I'm in the hospital. Then I would have to go on my own and Darin would have to be with the children. There too many reason not to switch. I left there with a heavy heart. I Email and called Cathy and I'm going to see her August 14th ! I'm excited. Today I got a phone call from north oaks. I missed the call and the nurse was gone. I'm worried what it could be. We had an ultrasound as far as I know the ultrasound was fine. I don't know what could have have came up in the pelvic or Blood-work, but I'm worried. I ordered my bedding set. And I'm excited to hold this little baby boy ! 

Update: All is fine I just have an overgrowth of natural bacteria  just need an antibiotic.

 

 

20 week update

7/10/13
  I'm 20 weeks !!! Half way there I can't believe it. This week I've been more busy that I could imagine. I thought this was going to be the hardrest week to wait to know if I'm having a girl or boy. This week was very hard to get though not because I'm counting to know if it's a boy or a girl, but because I got a call my uncle passed away Saturday morning. I was shocked and very sad by this news, but more worried about my mom and grandma so I went and stayed with them for a few days trying to help in any way I can to get things together. Today was the service. It was nice small still a little hectic. Nice to see family i haven't seen in a while, but I wish it was for a better reason. My little bump got some attention. Everyone had a guess on what it was only time will tell I still say boy, but we shall see. Now That I"m passed uncle pee wee service I can look forward to the party. It looks like we will have a good turn out. I've got all kinds of things made for the party and I just can't wait to find out. if I'm having a little prince or princess. My weekly picture and video will be posted below.
