Craving of the Day

MMMM. Love me some rasinets. Good thing my hubby loves me :) Craving Satisfied!

Pregnancy Progression

We had our 24 week appointment today and everything looks great! My next step is the glucose testing. Apparently I'll have to drink incredibly gross sugar water. I will schedule that for next weekend. I'll get to spend a whole hour at Quest; NO FUN! We also need to schedule a tour at the hospital. We are debating what classes we should take. Hopefully I'll be able to get something scheduled in the next couple of weeks. I'll get my Rhogam shot on the 11th of August. I have to get that because I am RH negative and Trent isn't. If Kaylin is RH positive then my different blood type could end up hurting her. If she is negative like me, this will be the only shot either of us will have to get. My in-laws move this weekend! It is going to be so nice having them closer. I know they are going to miss Trina and their home in Bloomington, though. Pray that they have an easy move as they get situated in their new house.

Well, I figure it's about time to keep you up to date on the preggo progression:

Settling into my New Job

Well, the past couple of weeks have certainly been a whirlwind. I started my new position at work and have been training, training, training. I feel like all I do is sleep, eat, work and go to the gym whenever I have an afternoon where I am not absolutely exhausted. I am really enjoying my new role at work. I moved back over to the hotel where I started and I even have my own office! It is nice to be working at the same location as Trent. I am so thankful the way everything has worked out.

On a baby note:
I have been able to feel our sweet little girl kicking. It is such a strange feeling. We have lots to do, but I think we finally nailed down a date for the baby shower. I believe it will be October 9th in Tampa. Stay tuned for details.

The Big Reveal

Today was my 18 week anatomy sono appointment. That means we got to find out if we are having a little boy or girl!! I have to say, I was definitely surprised!

I made cake pops with the right color inside to tell everyone at work.



And guess what.....



We are so excited!! We are going to have a little princess. Everything looks healthy and she is measuring exactly where she should be. We are so very blessed to have a healthy little baby girl on the way. I had to go out and buy something pink today, of course.

Here are some sono pictures:

Notice how she's lounging with her little legs crossed in the first one.

Cake POPS!

Well.. I have discovered the world of cake pops. Stay tuned because something very exciting is soon to be revealed with the help of my new favorite sweet treat.

Gardening 101

Trent built me a garden! My very own garden! No one has ever built me a garden before. What a sweet husband I have. Today I went to Home Depot and picked up some things to plant. I planted 2 marigolds on the corners to keep away bugs. (thanks for that tip mom) I planted cherry tomatoes, hybrid tomatoes, cilantro and a sugar baby watermelon. I also planted marigolds around our mailbox. It only took me about 3 hours but my thumb is turning green!!


From left to right: Cilantro, Cherry Tomato, Hybrid Tomato, Sugar Baby Watermelon. Marigolds are at each corner.


And here are my pretty Marigolds around my mailbox.

16 Week Appointment

Today was my 16 week appointment. It went well. Heartbeat is 160 bpm. Doctor Morris said that is excellent. All of my bloodwork from my previous visit was normal. Trent is B positive so that means he is not RH negative and I will have to get a rhogam at around 28 weeks. I am 0 negative which means I am RH negative so the baby has a 50/50 chance of also being RH negative. If the baby is RH negative then I won't have to get a shot after delivery, otherwise I will. Apparently it is no big deal, so I am not worried. We get to find out in 2 weeks if we are having a boy or a girl!! We made the appointment for June 1st. I am so excited!

An answer to prayer: My in-laws found a house in Charlotte! Well, Harrisburg to be exact. It is beautiful and they were able to get a fantastic deal. Their next step is to find a house down in Florida.
