PREGNANT!

Finally doing the pregnancy post!  I know I needed to do one as soon as we found out we were pregnant but just didn't happen.  We found out July 14th and I was only 4 weeks pregnant. Joe and I have been trying for about a year and so excited that it didn't take us as long as it took to get pregnant with Cameron!

We had an appointment at 6 weeks to make sure baby was in the right spot, so ultrasound and blood work.  My doctor wanted to check my progesterone levels and found out I was really low. So I had to be on progesterone meds for 6 weeks with complete restrictions.  I could do N-O-T-H-I-N-G!  Not fun for me! We also had to go back a couple more times for ultrasounds to make sure baby was progressing fine.  We loved the ultrasounds because we could see the baby and hear the heartbeat! I was nauseous almost everyday and it only came on after I would eat. I would get hungry, eat, get nauseous, a vicious cycle!  At 14 weeks I started to not get so nauseous after eating and now I am fine!

Fast forward to 19 weeks and me and baby  are doing well! We just had an ultrasound and found out we are having a boy!  Joe and I are beyond thrilled and Cameron is excited too!

Now for some pictures!

Fall Vacation

Today Joe and Todd went to Fogcutter and watched the Bears game while Kim and I went shopping. We meet up with the boys and went to dinner at On the Border, a great Mexican restaurant, and then back to downtown Chicago to go see the Blue Man Group. We had a fun time there at Briar Street Theater and the show was very entertaining. At the end of the show they had everyone pass tons of streamers from the back of the theater to the front and through all of the paper I briefly lost my engagement ring. Luckily a girl found it who was sitting right behind me! I thanked her a million times and thanked God for letting us get the ring back. After wards the Blue Men we out in the lobby and we were able to take pictures with them! What an enjoyable night!

Joe and I can't believe that we have a 15 month old on our hands! Cameron girl is growing so fast and becoming such a sweet little person. She is very loving to us and is willing to go to our neighbors at any point and time. Cameron loves playing outside, going for walks, and playing with her friend Connor. She is still into books and will willing sit with them by herself or brings them to me for me to read to her. Cameron lights up when Joe gets home from work and will sign/ask for Daddy often through out the day. Cameron has become more attached to her blanket everyday. Cameron will rarely get out of her crib these days without clinging to her blanket. She doesn't need to take it with her when going places, she just likes having it with her right after a wake up time be it in the morning or after naps. At Cameron's doctor appointment she only weights 17 lbs, she only gained 8 oz in three months. The doctor wanted to do a urine sample to check for urinary track infection ...
