2.2 lbs

I can't believe just how much I've NOT posted on here. I'm such a bad writer, I really am. See mom, this is why it was never going to work out ;o) It's not that I didn't remember, it's just I'd cringe every time I thought about it and the time that went by. So much has happened and it's pretty amazing.
2.2 pounds and 17 inches is what Butterball currently measures at. I found this out at the L&D two nights ago, when I thought there might be something wrong. He's an inch over his standard size and .3 lbs under his standard weight. Still a long n tall bebe, I see.
His weight though, makes me want to run to the Commissary and start weighing Cantaloupes and Mangos and when I find one that's his weight, and start walking up to people going "this is my baby!!!"
WHEW
Calm down Ellyn, no need to act all crazy here.
Anyways, I'll be updating more since we've got 9 weeks until I'm full term!
*dances*

Here is a picture to see what you've been missing out on

BAM! look at that. I feel so proud, hahahah. I'm currently weighing in at 135 and I started this out at 105-107 so now the weight gain is 28-30 lbs. I look at that picture and go "Dayyyyyum. Well I can prove where those 29 lbs are now. and I'm proud to say "Well...I did seem to have actually got an ass during this pregnancy. I hope I can keep it"
Yay for the little things in life.

What a wonderful world

I'm eating pokemon mac n cheese again
I don't know how I didn't know it was a boy when it's so blatantly obvious LOL ;)


Anyways, our prayers were answered. Long story short, insurance will be paying our full loan of $7200. Our car is actually worth $5969.12 which is not BAD for a car that is eleven years old and a POS. I was extremely surprised when my adjuster said that. :O I found out, due to Progressive not being quick about my claim and nobody notified me for a week, it was given to my adjuster who actually works up in Orange County at the Corporate Office. How crazy! She even went so far as to let us keep our rental car all the way through Saturday evening so we can go car shopping :) Usually people have to turn it back in after the three days when their car gets valued like ours.


I don't know what we're doing now, but we qualify for a mighty big loan now from the bank since we have virtually no debt and have amazing credit :) I'm looking at lots of different crossovers right now, because it just makes sense since we camp alot now, and we'll be having a baby so the extra space would be nice. I'm looking at a 2010 Kia Sorento, I'm particularly fond of the red. :3 Seth still wants the Charger, but I have to look at it and see what's up and make sure everything is as great as he says it is. Lord knows I won't let him just pick a car anymore. But I can't deny the sexiness <3

I've figured out the baby room decorating that will be happening :heart: I'm keeping my mouth zipped about it until I paint it and get it how I want it :3 pictures will happen!
Here is a sneak peek picture just so you might have an idea of what's going to happen ;)

So, I came to the conclusion today that I need glasses :O Being pregnant can mess with your eyesight it just so happens. Pressure change and lots of other weird things. I kinda hate getting driven around everywhere this week so I'm gonna man up and get a pair. I had to reschedule all of my sessions for the next two weeks in order to make sure I can get a pair and have them ordered and shipped to me. I don't feel comfortable doing a half ass job and making people pay for it ya know? I haven't had a pair of glasses since I was 14 :O Not like they look bad on me, I just happen to like contacts more. I look like one of those hot nerds with glasses LOL!! So Friday I'll be getting my prescription done and get my glasses :) gotta love Tricare. Glasses and Prescription total will cost forty bucks total :D talk about one of the pros of being military.

Anyways, that's all for now. Lots to do tomorrow so I need to hit the sack. I’m going with my bump buddy Sara to sign up for a couple of baby classes and get some information on Wic, then probably check out some maternity shops since I’m in need of new bras and shorts ASAP, then after THAT I’m going to another friends house, Sig, to go through some baby clothes she wants to give me and check out her system for cloth diapering. I decided I wanted to cloth diaper but that will be another story!

Howdy!!

Just wanted to say thank you for visiting and spying in our daily lives :)
Since this is our maiden post, we'll start off with our ultrasound on Saturday April 24th!
It was pretty awesome, we were both excited. I invited my friend Carissa along, because she found out she's pregnant on Monday and didn't know if she wanted to keep the baby since it's with her ex. I, in all my deviousness invited her along knowing that when she saw what happened with mine she'd be really excited.  my dastardly plan worked  She was so excited she was like "I can't wait until I can see my baby!!!"

Anyways, she's the one that took us to the ultrasound since our car is still MIA. (That's a whole other story that takes too long to tell) I had my appointment at 11 am and got there thirty minutes early of course!  Seth squatted outside the car and was like "Listen here. You'll WILL show your mom and dad your goodies. Do you understand me? We'll not be having problems already"  and we went in. 


Turns out we got six bucks back because my parents paid online for the ultrasound *score* and we were led in early before the scheduled time. It was really nice. HUGE projector, and this long gorgeous leather couch next to my medical bed for people to sit on. Within one minute of starting up the ultrasound machine and getting gellied up he laid on his side and showed us his bum and goodies  there is NO mistaking it's a boy.  Seth is so proud and excited We just grinned at each other and he was like it's a boy!!! I'm going to have to buy cigars now. Just to prep.  He's been in a great mood now since we found out. Even went so far as when I had Elvis playing, waltzing with me in the kitchen after we got back home

Anyways, So we got our fun shots after that and wow. We got some pretty fantastic shots. I'll upload them like asked   but not all of them seeing as how we got 20 of them done. 
Here are just a few!

                                                                      It's a boy!

                            "Yes Momma, I'm gonna relax and sprawl out as much as I can!"
Here our son has an arm behind his head and a foot resting on the top of my uterus on the right :)

I did find out something that bothers me though. I have an Anterior Placenta which simply means it's growing on the bottom of my uterus instead of the top. Nothing to be worried about except my uterus is so tightly muscled it's not growing at the rate it should be and the baby is stretching it out. Usually Anterior placentas travel up the uterus wall while the baby is growing but there is a chance it won't because of how slowly I'm growing. Right now it's growing right on the lip of my Cervix and if it keeps up, it'll grow over my Cervix. Which means it'll be an automatic C Section for me, and I'll possibly not make it full term. Greaaaaaaaaaat. I'll be able to find out more about it since I have my monthly check up tomorrow afternoon. 


That's all for now! I'll be posting more later, once I figure out everything to do with Blogspot :) It's been a LONG time since I've used it, they've changed so much!
