Baby Ultrasound

We had our 1st ultrasound on Wednesday and got to see the little beans heartbeat. Everything looked great! Adam thinks it looks like a girl...haha! We'll have to wait until the due date, October 3rd to see what the baby is. Now our biggest decision is to figure out if we are going to have a VBAC or another cesarean. The dr said that we can do either, the only concern is that if we do a VBAC, my cesarean incision could tear. This usually isn't a concern if the scar has time to heal (longer then a year) and i will be at a year and two months. We will definitely be doing research and praying about it.

Projectile!

Tonight a little before 9 pm i was feeding Asa his before bedtime bottle. He typically eats about 8 - 9 ounces before bed, we lay him down and he drifts off to sleep in his crib within 1 - 10 minutes. Tonight right as he was finishing his last few sucks from the bottle i pulled the bottle out of his mouth, set it down, and was going to wiggle my arm back under his head to pick him up and carry him into his room. Right as my arm was just about under his neck, VOMIT spewed out! Asa has his occasional spit up sessions, which is sometimes up to I'd say 1/8 cup (I know...TMI) but usually is just a very small amount. This....well this was different! This was probably the bottle, IN IT'S ENTIRETY! It soaked his sleeper, and his sleep sack, it soaked my shirt, pants, and underwear, and soaked my sheet. Thankfully we have a waterproof liner under our sheet, but yes, the top of that was soaked too. I brought him into the bathroom to take my clothes off and when i took my shirt off and dropped it on the floor, it made that wet shirt noise. That noise that my clothes used to make when i would run in the rain and soak myself and come inside and take my clothes off in the laundry room wet shirt noise. Adam was at a sales appointment, so i laid Asa down in his crib while i frantically grabbed my computer and googled "What to do when your 6 month old projectile vomits" Almost every response told me to give him some pedialyte, or juice diluted with water. Being that we didn't have pedialyte (it is now on my shopping list), i made him a bottle with 1/3 juice and 2/3 warm water. When i made my way back to his room, i didn't hear anything. I went into our bedroom and looked at him on our video monitor, and he was sound asleep. Don't worry, i went in and checked to make sure he was breathing...and he was :) I will put the juice in the fridge just in case we need it tonight. Poor guy, but i am hoping it was just because he ate too much too quick or something. Say some prayers for our little monkey tonight!

6 Month Stats

Asa had his 6 month appointment today even though he was 6 months on the 4th of February. He is one healthy growing boy. Here are his stats:

Weight: 18.1 lbs. (50 %)
Head: 17 1/2 in. (50%)
Length: 28 in. (95%)

He is going to be one tall guy! He had 5 shots this time because he had to get his flu shot and his swine flu shot. He actually took his shots better this time then the last time. He screamed right when the first shot was given, but the nurse gives them so quickly that before you know it they were done. Adam picked him up right after, and he stopped crying. What a trooper!!

Asa is scooting all over the place. He sure can get where he is going quickly. He can sit up on his own and will get frustrated if there isn't something for him to play with in front of him or if he is bored.

Here are some new pics...

I am feeling OK. I have definitely been feeling queasy, tired and just not myself lately. There are certain times of the day where i just want to crawl into my bed and sleep, and then there are others where i feel like if i change Asa's diaper, i am going to puke. I have been blessed this far and have not thrown up, so i hope that continues as i HATE throwing up! I also have been super dizzy when i get up from a laying down position, so i realize i have to take it slow getting up. I will be 8 weeks on Sunday, and my first appointment is a week from today. I guess this is adefinitely change from my pregnancy with Asa because i felt wonderful, not sick, and just really great. Oh the joys of pregnancy!

Adam and i did get to go on a date on Monday. We just lounged around the house on Valentines day, but wanted to do something on a less busy day. My parents watched Asa and we were able to go see Avatar (Amazing movie) and got sushi at Benihanas. It was VERY nice. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Finally, funny story, as i was "proofing" this post, i looked over at Asa laying on the floor, and he tooted very loudly, looked up at me, and started laughing. It was HILARIOUS!!!

Number 2 HERE WE COME!

Yep TWO LINES!!!!

And we took TWO tests...JUST TO BE SURE!

(I think that Asa is trying to put the pregnancy test in his mouth) haha!

Potential Due Date: October 3rd

First Dr's Appointment and Ultrasound: February 24th

Weeks Pregnant: 6

Difference in age between Asa and the bean: 14 months :)

How we feel: Couldn't be more excited. Can't wait for Asa to be a big brother!

What's different between this pregnancy and the first: Crave SPICY not SWEET. Feel a tiny bit nauseous. Already feel like i am poking out a little.

Please keep us in your prayers, as we know this is early to break the news, however we know that God has complete control, and we trust in Him!

YEA!!!!!!!
