14 week update

-
It's been a chaotic couple of weeks. It started when we found out that we needed to switch ob's. (Our previous ob doesnt offer evening hours and with my new job I can't afford to leave early) 

We had a hard time trying to get an appointment with the new OB...being a new patient blows!

We had to wait so long that Meg actually went back to RMA for an ultrasound.

I wasn't able to go, but Meg text me this picture. The doctor hugged her and told her that everything looked great.


On Tuesday, Meg went to the new OB. (She is 14 weeks pregnant today.) She  listened to the heartbeat (fast and strong) and scheduled our 20 week ultrasound (November 12th.)

Ready for the fun news? We are going to a private ultrasound practice on October 12 at 9am. We are then having a gender reveal party later that day at 2:30pm!!!

We aren't doing the typical cake reveal. I have something else up my sleeve! 

Other exciting news...

We are getting professional fall announcement pictures this Saturday.

AND,

I felt the baby move last night. It was so light! Had I not felt it with Avery I would never have known. So cool!

Avery news to report:

We bought Avery a big girl bed. So far she has only read books and rested in it...we aren't rushing her. 

She attends music class every Tuesday with my mom. She's loving it.

She's obsessed with Barney, Yo Gabba Gabba, the Wiggles and Elmo. 

She has all of her teeth (including her molars)

And is beautiful :-)

    That US pic sure does look like a little boy - probably just the cord though. Ya'll wanting a boy or girl? So excited for ya'll.

    Sucks you had to switch OB's, that had to be a hard decision...can't wait to find out the sex!

    Have ya'll not fb announced or did I miss it?

      A lot of people have said that. It's just the umbilical cord.

      A boy would be cool, BUT a girl would be soooo much easier. We timed it so that everything would match up (clothing/ season wise)

      Meg initially thought boy. She didn't have a feeling with Avery.

      I think it's a girl.

      As far as the facebook reveal goes, we have not. We are waiting until we get the professional pictures back..look for it sometime next week :-)

    How is Megan feeling? Please tell me her morning sickness eased up now that she is in the second trimester!?
    I'm almost nine weeks (haven't announced it on the blog yet) & feel terrible.
    We're having our announcement pictures taken this weekend as well!
    Can't wait to hear about your gender reveal party!

      Congratulations! That's awesome!

      Unfortunately, Meg is still taking zofran every day. She was sick earlier this week because she ate cereal with milk.

      How are you feeling?

      So far this pregnancy has been kicking my butt. I feel like I have every symptom there is: Nausea, Exhaustion, Pregnancy Acne, Constipation...and I'm just starving all day long!
      I hope it will get better eventually.
      After 14 months of trying and finally our first IVF, I still can't believe I'm here! :)

    I've been following since before you had Avery when my husband and I were still in the midst of three years of infertility (our twins are 14 months old now!) SO excited for you guys. Also, it's after 2:30pm. Where's the update on if baby is a boy or a girl?! :)

I know it's been a few days since I last blogged, so I just wanted to give you an update... Meg and I have been busy getting ready for the new school year (she came to school with my mom and I and organized my classroom library!!) She's still feeling nauseous and doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. She claims that it's all worth it, so that's a good sign! Friday is our next ultrasound appointment...I think we're supposed to hear the heartbeat, so that's exciting! With only 2-4 weeks left at RMA we're running out of time to find an obgyn. This afternoon I spoke with a receptionist from a doctor's office affiliated with a brand new hospital opening in November. It's only 17 minutes from our house, so it's perfect AND it's located in NJ, so my name can go on the birth certificate at the time of the birth. BONUS! The receptionist was really nice. She told me that there are 6 doctors and 4 midwives in the practice and that they w...

Finally...

FINALLY!!! It was only a matter of time before we heard some good news... Today, Meg had her 41 week appointment. They took us back to exam room 3...hooked her up to the monitors for a nonstress test. Avery was very active and looked great. Meg even had 3 minor contractions. Unfortunately Meg showed no progress in terms of dilation. Are you ready for the good news??? The doctor said, "It's time." We are scheduled to go to the hospital tonight at 6. There, we will be greeted by one of our favorite doctors. She will give Meg Cervidil to help ripen her cervix (and will hopefully calm Meg's nerves...she's good like that!) Tomorrow morning another doc will come in to check Meg's progress. She will most likely break Meg's water and administer Pitocin. Avery will hopefully be born on May 3rd and follow in the footsteps of her family (Meg-November 3, Uncle Eddie-October 3rd, Grandpop-September 3rd, Cousin Ryleigh-January 3rd) As our dogs play on the fl...

One Week Later...

It has been 7 days since the birth of our beautiful little girl and I've already learned so much...Here are the highlights so far... 1. I've learned how to change a wet diaper. 2. Keeping with number 1, I've learned that if I don't change Avery's diaper fast enough or if I try to change her before she fully wakes up Avery will pee on me! (definitely not just a boy thing!) 3. I've learned how to change a poopy diaper. 4. Keeping with number 3, I've learned that Avery can (and will) projectile poop if I don't change her diaper fast enough (happened twice so far!) 5. I've learned how to swaddle Avery (Meg is still much better at this than I am!) 6. I've learned how to make a bottle. 7. I've learned how to burp Avery..I'm kind of an expert! 8. I've learned how to tell when Avery is hungry (she does this weird thing with her tongue...Meg calls it rooting...I call it "Barney Crouch-ing"...after the guy in Harry Pot...
