Not little girls butt...huh interesting.

So yesterday Erik and I had a doctors appt to see how everything was going with little one. We get there late because the guy who cut Eriks hair right before fudged it up and he had to fix it before we went. After his hair looked presentable we were off to the docs. We waited in the waiting room for only a little bit before I had to go in for my weigh in. So these weigh in's are my least favorite thing about the visit because I dread seeing how much weight I gained. So I step on....huh I lost 2 pounds. Awesome. The doc the appointment before said that I may have not been eating enough and that my body was keeping hold of the weight I had as a reserve and to try to eat more. So Erik and I have been eating "clean" as they say and I feel great because of it. Doc said she wasnt concerned about the weight loss at all. So thats good. Ok so on to the exam, she puts the icky goo on my tummy and notices that my tummy is in a giant ball in one spot. As my body was doing this she said to me that the buldge was not little girl but a Braxton Hicks contraction. What! This whole time I thought those buldges were babys butt or back. She said people often think the same thing and that it is really hard to explain unless you see it in action. Im so glad she told me, I would have gone on the whole pregnancy thinking I am rubbing by babys butt. LOL. So I felt very educated after that. She checked little girl and her heartbeat was great. Now I start to go every 2 week!! Yea getting close now! Only 2 months left and we get to meet our little girl.

She has his nose!

So yesterday Erik and I went to the doctor to do my diabeties test to see if I have the sugars. The drink I had to drink was awful! It was orange flavor and made me want to puke. Im all for sweet things but that drink was a bit much. We had to sit and wait an hour before they took my blood to test my blood sugar. In the meanwhile we went into the doctors office to get my bp taken and stuff. The doc asked me how I have been and I told her I was concerned that Scarlett wasnt moving alot for the past couple day. So instead of just doing a heartbeat check she took me in for an ultrasound. Cool right wasnt expecting that. So shes starts the ultrasound and there she is, that big head popped on screen and her big body so much different from the last time we saw her. Doc said she was moving but she probably just moved to a spot where I feel her less. While she was measuring and checking her out she turns the ultrasound to the 3D kind, like the one where you can see what your baby will look like before she is born. I kinda didnt want to see her because it kinda creeped me out to see her before she was born. But there she was on the screen. She was beautiful! Little tears came out. I was so happy. The first thing I said was "Erik she had your nose!". She did and she has his chin from what I can tell. He little round face was so plump and cute! I fell in love. Erik was excited and was so amazed that this was Scarlett, our little girls face. The doc printed out pics and also made a disk for us too. It was the best visit ever. I totally forgot about the nasty concoction I had drank an hour before and admired out beautiful baby girl. Our sweet baby girl Scarlett.

Pre Motherhood Thoughts

So yesterday I was standing in the mirror in my sports bra and my yoga pants brushing my teeth, well I was mezmerized by how big my tummy has gotten. Im brushing my teeth and all I can think about is how lucky I am to be having this little life grow inside of me. As I stood there staring and it it made me so happy that we will soon have this little life in our hands and she will be all for Erik and I. I admired my new found plump body in the mirror and was proud of it. All the while little girl was kicking away and rolling around in her temporary home and it made me fell a glow of warmth and love and wished that that moment wouldnt go away. I imagined the day we would hold her and the way she would look. Everything was in slowmo and I swear time stood still. I was so happy. My smooth belly that looked and felt like a watermelon holding this life that is so precious. I stopped brushing teeth and smiled.

Death Cramp From HELL

So the other night I am staying at my parents house, lying snug in the bed and sound asleep with my dog Wyatt when all of a sudden I am awoken by this deathly painful cramp in my left leg. It felt like someone had cut open my leg ripped my muscles out and started digging around in there. It was truly horrible. The more I moved the worse it got and if I was still it was still painful. I am screaming at the top of my lungs, my dog wakes up starts freaking out, I am on the verge of crying and no one came to my rescue. Lol. I am suprised no one heard me I was sreaming so loud. It finally went away and I fell asleep. I hope I never have that pain again. I looked up my bedtime night pain and found out that it is common in pregnancy to get these wonderful cramps during sleep. Great. So I hope I never get another one this whole pregnancy.

Drum Roll Please...

And the baby is a......GIRL!! I can finally tell yall! So Erik and I went on April 7th to the doctor to get my third ultrasound done but my day started off on the wrong foot before our little visit. I was on my was home from paying the wedding cake lady and an 18 wheeler ran me off the road. I know right. So my brand new car my hubby bought me was wrecked and myself crying and freaking out made everything worse. The great news about this is that myself and the baby were just fine, just alittle scared and shaken. So after all that jazz was done Erik and I were off to the doctors for our ultrasound. So the doctor is like are yall ready to find out what the baby is and of course we are like yea. So she finds our little baby, which is not so little now and starts to look for girl or boy parts. She was like lets find out what this mystery baby is. So when she said this baby is no longer a mystery we were stoked to hear what she had to say. We are waiting patiently and then she says its a girl! Erik and I were both floored because we have been saying the baby was a boy this whole time. Now our little bun is a girl that we have decided to name Scarlett Rose. So pretty. I cant wait for our little girl to arrive. So the best thing about is that we waited to tell everyone till our rehersal dinner for our wedding. Everyone tried their best to pry it out of us before then. So what we did was we bought pink and blue baby cards and wrote a thank you letter in them thanking everyone for their support during our wedding process, and at the bottom was signed Erik, Ashley & Scarlett Rose. So everyone had either pink or blue and everyone was like aww its a girl I got a pink card and others had blue. Confusion everywhere. You didnt find out until you read the names at the bottom. It was great fun and it was Eriks idea. So now everyone knows and life is good. We go to see our little girl next Monday and we are excited to see how our little girl has grown.

Feel it on the outside?

Eww dont have a gross mind. LOL. Well today I was at work sitting watching like a million hours of Biggest Loser when I put my hand on my lower abs and all of a sudden I felt a big, hearty kick! And I felt it from the outside. So I sat there for like ten minutes with the show on pause like if I moved or made noise I would scare Bun. I felt like a loin on the hunt and if I made noise my prey way gone. Lol. So I had been debating that if the feeling I am feeling is Bun or gas. So today was definite confirmation that it is def the baby. I was so excited! Yesterday I thought I felt something right before I was going to bed, but I threw it out because I moved at the same time so I really couldnt tell if it was Bun or not. I am really excited for Erik. He will be so happy to feel Bun finally. That is the best part about it, he gets to share my experiences now and that is just awesome. So I cant wait to get home and hope Bun puts on a show for his daddy. I cant wait till tomorrow either, we finally get to find out if Bun has a taco or a bean bag lol!! Well if Bun lets us. So I cant wait for tomorrow!! Now I get to plan and buy things for our little girl or boy!!! I cant wait!

I have an alien in my uterus!!!!!!!!

So I have been feeling these weird things in my uterus/ lower ab area. So all week I have been trying to see if its gas, upset tummy, but it has not sank in completely that ITS THE BABY!! So this past week I have been trying to decifer if it is the baby or I need to fart. Sooo recently I was driving in my car singing to Bun and myself I kept feeling something weird going on in that region. I cant ever tell if it is the vibration of the car, me moving or other factors. So yesterday I was at church when again I felt this weird feeling in my uterus. So I tell Ashley (Eriks sis, my future sis-in-law) I swear I feel something moving! She tells me that of course I feel something im pregnant. Duh. So all day I concentrated and felt slight flutters and moving. But it was so light I thought it was gas. So last night I was lying down getting ready to go to bed and felt something moving. So now im at my work and there is definitly moving in there. I have noticed that after I eat Bun gets on the move, if it is Bun moving, and in the car when I sing. Its so exciting!! It kinda is a weird feeling like fluttering of butterflys or little gas bubbles. Truely it is the weirdest things I have felt ever and I know its going to get more intense and more alien like. I cant wait till Erik can feel. He will be so excited. He tries to feel Bun like everyday but he cant yet. He is so sweet, he is going to be a great Dad. So our little Bun is a mover and a shaker!!
