Our Growing Bean

I thought I would post some updated pictures. Jordyn and us are doing great. She seems to be such an easy baby, which kinda has me worried as now I want more and more. She loves to laugh and smile. She does get fussy but looks so darn cute when she is mad that it is okay. Also we are so lucky that it is very rare that she gets up in the night and is very easy to put to bed. We are having so much fun. She just loves everyone, esp her Daddy, she can't get enough of him. We are looking forward to Christmas. We will be staying home and having Christmas by ourselves. Hopefully we will get some visits from family before or after. I haven't bought any gifts for her yet, heres to hoping I don't go overboard. I don't think I will though as she is so little and doesn't need much.

Just a Little Note

It is interesting how busy one can be who has nothing to do then at other times how bored one can be when their is lots to do. Jordyn and us are doing really well. Sometimes feel over whelmed by the continuity of it, this is forever. But very much enjoying being at home and watching my little girl grow up. She has changed so much in a month and a half.

Wedding Dress Shopping

Last week my sister and I went to a nearby city wedding dress shopping. It was so much fun. She wanted something simple but elegant and formal. These are just a few of the many she tried on. It is so much more fun shopping for someone else. Which dress do you think looks best????

I love the one she picked, it suits her very well. Guess which one??

bHCG

So I just got a call from the doctor. My hCG number is 545, which I think is great.
My book states the ranges are; 4 weeks 5 to 426; and 5 weeks 19 to 7,340. So I would say I am just newly 5 weeks approx. That is great, I was really hoping my numbers would be over 100; though you can be below that and still have a great pregnancy just like you can be high and have a poor outcome. But it is reassuring.

Waiting

Just waiting for a call from the doctor on my blood levels. Waiting, waiting....

Getting very excited about going to my parents house for Christmas and telling them. I don't have any cute ideas of how to tell them, maybe Justin will. Also I am hoping we will meet Justin's Dad for supper on our way home on Sat and tell him. He will be so happy. He may be out of the country though as he has not emailed me back yet, he works overseas. Also thinking we should call Justin's brother to let him know as we wont be seeing him this Christmas. And than that just leaves Justin's Mom and her Husband who we will likely call on Christmas day.

Well that is my update other than I still have a terrible sore throat. It is much worse at night. Makes it hard to sleep. I am feeling good otherwise, little bit of dizziness at the doctors yesterday and feel a little bit of a seasick stomach sometimes, but very very good!

Update

So I just got back from the doctors. The doctor I think I have decided on is away till mid Jan so I went to a different guy. They did a urine BHCG at the clinic that was positive and I have blood work done at the hospital to check the level of pregnancy hormone. The doc is supposed to call me with the numbers, he is kinda scatterbrained though, so I may have to call him. Also he booked me an ultrasound so I can be sure of my dates. My ultrasound is for Jan 6th, which is great. Just hoping I can get my serum levels back before we tell our parents at Christmas. I hope they are high!!

Guess what!!!

My loves

The two things I love most in life are my hubby and my dog.

I have loved my hubby for almost 10 years. I feel very privileged that he chooses me to share his life with. My hubby is very strong, confident and good. Also he is always right, as he often reminds me, but I cannot argue.

My dog is my baby. When she was little I couldn't wait for her to be old and calm enough to cuddle and now she is big I miss how tiny she was. She is a very good dog and she loves her Dad more than anything. She has such caring and intelligent eyes. I also love how she kicks and growls softly in her dreams.
