So today is the day I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. I’m officially halfway through my pregnancy and it’s a great feeling! I’m actually OVER halfway if I want to get technical since I’m having the baby a week before my actual due date, but who’s keeping track, huh? Certainly not the lady who has a lower back ache 24/7, acne like I’m a 13- year old teenager, and has already started to waddle when not concentrating really hard on walking straight!!!
So happy halfway to me!!!
We finally got the new beds set up in G&K’s rooms (I know, we were lagging, but when you have to buy two of everything at the same time, that gets EXPENSIVE!!! And not just two bed frames. We had to buy 2 bed frames, 2 mattresses, 2 sets of sheets, and 2 comforter sets…and that’s not cheap!) Since I was starting to stress about getting things done, we went ahead and put the new beds up. In the next month or so we will get the guest bedroom packed away and turned in to a nursery. I just want it all DONE already! Once the crib is set up, I will be able to breathe a big sigh of relief. It was when we cleaned out the bedroom and set the cribs up last time that officially pushed me on to bedrest with the twins. Granted I realize I was carrying twins, but the thought of the same thing happening still scares me, so if we can get it set up earlier in my pregnancy this time I should completely be out of the worry-zone.
If and when I ever get it done I will share pictures, but as ‘good’ (hahaha!) as I’ve been about blogging lately, I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you :)

Today is March 14, 2011
I had my 20 week check up today (even though I’m only 19 ½ weeks along!) and everything is going great. Can I complain about something soooo petty today?!?! I dislike having my appointments a few days early. (I know, can I not find something a little sillier to whine about?!?!) But this is why: I feel like I’m lying when I go in for my appointments! I walk in and say “Hi, Lyndee here for my 20 week check up..errr, but I’m only 19 weeks…” and then in a couple weeks I’ll go in for my 24-week anatomy scan, but when she asks my due date she will think I clearly can’t add right! I don’t know, I just wish we could skip a week so when I went to appointments I WAS as far along as they think I am, that’s all :)
Okay, I’m done complaining!
At today’s appointment, the little heartbeat was 140/minute, so I guess it’s going to stay right in the middle and make it tough to decide if it’s team blue or team pink…and I LOVE that! It’s going to be stubborn just like it’s brother and sister and that’s fine by me! I’m not sure if you all know, but we’re not going to find out what it is. If it had a super high (usually a girl) or super low (usually a boy) heart rate we would have a good idea what we were having. This way, we are still clueless…I LOVE that :)
One last thing: We have our delivery date. If all goes as planned and the little booger doesn’t decide to come out any earlier, I will have this sweet little munchkin on Friday, July 29th!!! It’s crazy to have an actual date, and even crazier to think that really, July isn’t THAT far away!!!

Today is February 14, 2011 (updated)
**Update at the bottom**
Today is valentines Day---Happy Valentines Day!
I had my 16 week appointment today and I need some prayers. Everything seemed okay with the baby (heart rate was 142/minute) (Yay! Yay! YAY!!!)
....but my blood that they tested last month came back with some red flags, so now I'm in a panic. My doctor went ahead and drew more blood and said that it could have just been a fluke, but she was concerned that not one, but two of my antibody tests came back abnormal. One had to do with my blood type: I'm normally A + (A positive). Your blood type doesn't change in your lifetime, however, according to the lab work, mine changed. And maybe not 'changed' but didn't have enough in it to be conclusive that I'm A +. When you have a certain blood type it doesn't change, so that fact that mine didn't 'feel' like being A + is a reason for concern.
She didn't really have any answers and was as perplexed as I am, so she said we will wait to hear what the new bloodwork says and go from there. But do you ever get the feeling when looking in someone's eyes that they know more than they're telling you? She had that 'look' and I just feel like she has an idea as to what the problem is but doesn't want to tell me until she knows for sure. And that makes me MAD. I love my doctor, but that is one thing about doctors (all doctors) that has always made me mad. It's MY body they're talking about, just tell me what you think. Give me your best educated guess with the facts that you have right now, because I promise you, the WORST thing that you are thinking it could be, is better than the BEST thing my mind (and the internet) is telling me that it is. GRRRR.
So now I wait to hear back to see if I'm A) falling apart or B) if the tests were just messed up.
Please pray that everything is fine and my blood just got switched with someone else's. And if it didn't get switched, please pray that whatever is going on won't affect the baby.
I will post an update as soon as I hear back from her. Until then PRAY (please?)!!!
UPDATE: Can I just say that God is amazing and prayers DO WORK??? Well I'm saying it: GOD IS AMAZING AND PRAYERS DO WORK!!!!! Just heard back from my doctors office, after the second test, all bloodwork came back fine and I have no reason to be concerned. I asked why on earth the tests came back wrong in the first place and my nurse said pregnancy hormones could have done it since they make ladies blood do a lot of crazy things while pregnant (and Scott wonder's why I've been an emotional roller coaster! If it can mess with my blood like this, think what it's doing to my brain!!!), it could have been the lab machines...any number of things. But this test came back fine, so no need to worry and she would see me in a month. thank you for all of the prayers, emails and phone calls...they worked!!!

13 week present!
Look what was delivered to me just a few minutes ago...a BEAUTIFUL bouquet of roses! The card simply said "Thank you, Love Scott"
Thank you? What had I done lately to deserve roses? I hadn't cleaned the house in ages, it wasn't his birthday where he got a really cool gift.....what could it have been? So I called to ask. He said "Thank you for taking such good care of the baby and for making it out of your first trimester."
Awwwww! Yup, I am a lucky, lucky girl :)
Today is January 28, 2011
Today I am officially 13 weeks along. Almost as a birthday present to celebrate hitting 13-weeks, my sweet baby let me feel it inside of me! I felt flutters this morning as I was sitting at my desk. What a great way to start the day and to kick off the 13th week :)
Now, the not-so-exciting highlight of pregnancy: I have already started feeling achy! My back, my knees, the muscles in my stomach ALL ache. Finding a comfortable position to sleep at night is also (already) becoming a chore. It is crazy. With the twins, I didn't start to feel achy and have trouble sleeping until MUCH later, probably closer to 16-20 weeks....and I was carrying TWO! I assumed since I was only carrying one I would be good to go until at least 30 weeks-HA! Guess that's what happens when you're 4 years older!!!
