Erin finally understands....I think!

Every since we told Erin that she was going to be a big sister she would point to HER belly and say "Erin's baby!". We'd say no, the baby was in mommy's tummy and she would correct us telling us it was in her belly.

This morning she was giving me a hug saying "baby sister". I told her that her baby sister was right here (pointing to my tummy) and she bent down to my belly and said "HI BABY!!!" then gave my tummy a hug and kiss. I think she finally understands!!! YAY!!! I hope they'll be best friends!!!

Got our test results back!!!!!

After anxiously waiting over the last 2 days the dr's FINALLY called me this evening at 6:10pm. Seriously, every time my cell phone would ring I'd jump from being so nervous. It's not surprising that they called after I had concluded that they weren't going to call today either. Well I was wrong!!!

I was helping miss Erin go potty on the toilet when my phone ring and I chose to ignore it. KC tried to answer it but I had forgotten to turn off my headset so he couldn't hear anything. When he handed me the phone I noticed the number was not one I recognized and got nervous. I tried calling back but it went straight to voice mail, I was so bummed. Thankfully they called right back!
The lady instantly said "I have good news for you!" OMG my heart melted (in a good way). That's the best news one can receive!!! She said that everything looked perfect and healthy! YAY!!!!!! There was a pause and I asked KC "do you want me to find out what we're having" The lady laughed when she heard him instantly say "umm, YEAH!" She asked what I thought we were having and I said "I think it's a girl, KC wants a boy!"





After we hung up the phone we went to tell Erin what we are having. We said "you're going to have a baby SISTER!" After repeating us we asked her if she knew what a sister was and she proceeded to put her arms into her armpits and say "ooh ooh ooh" like a monkey! GREAT!!!!! This is what she already thinks of her little sister! Haha


So yeah....we're having another PRINCESS!!!! Poor, KC.....maybe next time!

CVS Testing was yesterday

So yesterday KC and I had to take the day off to have the CVS testing done on the baby to check for any genetic defects. CVS is just like an amnio except that there's not enough amniotic fluid to take so they have to take cells from the placenta. Depending on where the placenta determines how they perform the procedure, abdominally or through the cervix. I got lucky this time and had to go the cervix route (I'm joking.....this was worse)!!! Poor KC had nail marks embedded in his hand because I was holding it so tight. Anyway, now I have to lay around w/almost no activity until tomorrow. I can't pick Erin up (or anything over 10 pounds) and have to limit exercise for the next few days. So far I'm feeling ok, pretty sore but the major cramping has gone away. Sleeping yesterday really helped! We should find out the results in about 8-10 calendar days.

Please keep your fingers crossed that everything turns out ok!

Since they do the procedure using an ultrasound, I got more pictures of our little bean!!! YAY! As of now, I'm about 12 weeks along. One more week until I'm in my 2nd trimester and (hopefully) this exhaustion goes away!

Had a mommy/daughter day on Friday

Last Friday Erin and I spent the day together. Since daycare was closed I took the day off work and we went to the Scrapbook Expo (more fun for mommy than Erin). Erin was REALLY good the whole day, we shopped at lunch, and visited with a friend. Erin had a couple restless moments but calmed down almost instantly. I told her that on the way home we could get some ice cream and she said "no mama, ice cream cake!" We stopped to visit Aunt Jenifer and then headed off for our ice cream cake. We then came home and took a very late nap waking up at 7pm. HaHa.

While I had a wonderful day with Erin, it made me feel very sad. I don't have very much time left before these one on one moments will become few and far between. Once the baby comes, Erin won't have our complete attention and it's very disheartening. I know that KC and I will make time for them individually as well as together, but it won't be easy. It's just a firm reminder that I have to cherish these moments everyday!!!

We're Preganant!

That's right! Erin's going to be a big sister right around her 3rd birthday (hopefully not ON her birthday)! We are due February 26th, 2009. All three of us are very excited, Erin says that the baby is "Erin's baby!" HaHa. Last Wednesday we had our first ultrasound at about 10 weeks. The dr said that things are looking great so far and that my risk of miscarriage has dropped. The baby was really active, punching and kicking like crazy. It's only about an inch long right now so I can't feel any of it yet. We will find out sometime next month if Erin has a brother or sister.
