Still not quite sure about the feelings....

So, I went to the Dr today, for the Birthing Center, and you are STILL a Girl! :)  I still can't believe you are a girl!  I'm Sooo excited!!!  They did an ultrasound and I asked them about the vibrations, and they said it's very possible that it could be you. I wonder if I'll feel it again.  Haven't felt it since.  I did however get a GREAT profile pic of you!!!

I also was going through my ultrasound pictures of you, and I came across one of you looking like you're telling me to "Shhh".  You must know your mama!  I am a talker, and being that i work/own a salon, I do a LOT of talking.  You are getting a headstart on trying to get some quiet time.



Vibrations???

I was at work last Thursday, still extremely excited about you being a girl, and was in the process of doing a clients hair, when all of a sudden, I felt a vibration??  It felt as though there was a cell phone in my Left front smock pocket. I stopped what I was doing at the moment to reach into my pocket w/ a confused look on my face. Only not to find anything in my pocket. My client looked at me and asked me if everything was ok. I told her that I felt a vibration on my left side under my ribs and under my left breast. I blamed it on the zipper of my left pocket rubbing against the chair. It only lasted for a few seconds each time, but happend about 6 times. I was fine that evening, but then again on Friday I felt it a few more times. This time I wasn't wearing my smock nor was I at work. It happened while I was eating lunch, and again Friday evening while I was laying in the bed watching TV. Then Saturday on my way back from Columbia, I felt it again while I was driving. I woke up this morning and looked it up on the internet, and I read that it's called "quivers". Apparently those are movements that you are making inside of me, and b/c this is my 1st pregnancy, I really don't know what to expect. Now that I have this knowledge, I feel a little more relieved. I have a Dr Appt on Tues, and will ask them anyway, but I'm guessing everything is A-OK! :) I am a little over 19 weeks, so I should be feeling some kinds of movements now. Can't wait to meet you honey. These next 5 months are going to go by SOoo SLOW.  Love You

Here's a pic of me.  19w3d  <3

IT'S A GIRL

Baby EVA

Today I found out that you ARE in fact a Girl! :)  I had more dreams last night about you being a girl, but in the in-between nights, you were a boy in my dreams.  Since it is Popi's 62nd Birthday today, I asked Mimi and Popi to come with Daddy and me to find out the gender. We all met up in Summerville and as soon as they found out that you were a Girl, Popi instantly began to cry tears of JOY~  He's getting his 1st Granddaughter, & he couldn't be any happier. Of course as soon as I saw Popi cry, I cried too. :) haha.  Mimi said, thank goodness you are a girl, b/c she really didn't like the name we picked out for a boy! Daddy was quite surprised too. Deep down he thought you were a boy, but he was totally excited by the fact that you are in fact a GIRL! :)  He can't believe he's having a daughter.!  We named you Eva after My Nana (grandmother). I just love that name and my Nana passed away on April 12th. I told her before she passed away, that if you were a girl, I would name you after her. :) 
At this ultrasound place, we received a DVD of you moving around inside of me, a CD of about 34 pictures of you via 3d and Realtime 4d.  Also we received 2 blk/wht prints and 2 color prints. I did notice that you have your Popi's Long Legs. I'll include a picture of that, so you can see how long they were when you were just 18 wks in utero. The 1st person I called after I found out you were a girl, was your Aunt Wendy. She was very excited too. I can't wait for her to have a little girl, so that you both can be close cousins. Uncle Joe and Aunt Ashley are due w/ their baby, Graham, in about a month. So you will already have 2 boy cousins by the time you enter into this world. The oldest cousin OAKES, who will have just turned 2 yrs old, and GRAHAM who will be about 4 months old. So many babies!!!  I LOVE YOU EVA~~~

A Little Bummed by my Dr Appt

Well, I went to the Dr's office w/ Daddy today, to find out your gender. I had barely been able to sleep the last night. I did have a dream about you being a Girl, but the previous night I had a baby Boy dream. So that left me a little confused as well. When we got to the Dr Office, I was so excited and the Dr asked me why? I said, confusingly, don't I get to find out my baby's gender today? She said no, and that wouldn't be for at least 3 more weeks. I was Sooo bummed. :(  Apparently the scheduling lady messed up the schedule. What a way to Bust someone's Bubble. :(  On another note, I haven't felt you again, so I'm thinking it was more like a Gas Bubble before when I was @ the wedding. :(  I DID however make an appointment @ Seeme3D in Summerville, SC to find out what gender you are. I made the appointment for Saturday the 14th of May. (Popi's Birthday)  I'll get back to this in 2 day!!! 

Here is a picture of 2 belly shots of me @ 16w 5d.  (A few weeks ago)

I went to a wedding this past weekend, and I think I felt you move for the 1st time. Not quite sure, it could have been you being angry b/c by the time I got up to the food @ the wedding, there was no food left, or it could have just been my stomach/gas bubbles.  People keep telling me that the 1st time I feel you move, it'll either feel like Gas Bubbles, or like Butterflies.  So, I'm not really sure.

I just got over Strep Throat. :( The Dr put me on an antibiotic, and within a few days, I started feeling a little better. By the time my antibiotic was finished, I felt like a new person. :)  From what I understand, my immune system is pretty much out of whack since I've been pregnant. It's okay though.

I can't wait to find out what gender you are. I find out in a few days. I just feel that the anticipation is getting the best of me. :)  So, Thursday, May 12th, I'll find out if you are a boy/girl.  I've had this feeling since day 1 that you are a girl, but who knows. Aunt Wendy told me something about a Chinese Gender Chart, and according to that...you should be a boy. I'm so confused.

Here are a few of my cravings...
1) bananas
2) raspberries & blackberries with yogurt and granola
3) the Banana Pudding Milkshake from Chick-fil-A [thanks to Aunt Ashley]
4) Oranges
5) Broccoli and Spinach
6) Watermelon
7) [sugar free] Dark Cherry Jello 
8) Waldorf Chicken Salad
9) Protien Smoothie's from the Smoothie King

Until next time...I LOVE YOU, and can't wait til the 12th~  :-)
