one amazing set of pictures

a few weeks back i went to TX for a few days. watson was away bidding farewell and speedy journey to his grandma. So off i went to TX at the very last minute to get some love from my nieces A, E & C, blog manic SIL Holly and my bother Joey gifted with mad crazy photog skills.

Sunday was 7/6/08 was Watsy's Birthday and my bra'da offered to take some pictures which have become watson Birthday gift.
(Coincidentally 7/6 is also J&H's anniversary, H has let me borrow my brother 2x in the last year on days that were really important to her. AUG 31 of last year my brother was her in NY helping us bid farewell an speedy journey to our precious girl Lucy, it was H's birthday she was in TX with her girls... i'll never forget that she gave us such a wonderful gift by letting J be here and understanding that her brthday would always have special significance in our lives.)

here you go.. a sneak peek at 172 lbs of glorious Prego me featuring poppyseed.

I love this next picture poor E just wanted to be done taking pictures... and this was one of my favs.

this is actually a candid. but i have to tell you it is one of my favorites. this is A niece #1 beautiful, intelligent, and very very loving and sweet.


i don't have an actual picture of it but at one point everyone had theri hand o my belly because PS was moving around and everyone wanted to get a piece of the action... so in my mind that is a great Picture you have to use your imagination. ok stop slacking and get back to work!

16 weeks

we had a prenatal check up yesterday.

it was not a great day we were really sad to begin with and it was just tumultuous from there

Our Dr office was flled with very pregnant women (DUH OB's office) and a hand full of newborns we also there GRR! so we waited in the outer lobby. ONce we got in to the exam room Dr. D had a hard time finding the baby's heart beat with the doppler. can you say nerve wracking? so we went across the hall for a quick sono to check for a flicker. filcker was there and we discoverd that baby's placenta is anterior (across the front of my uterus) and acting like a sound barrier and the baby was belly down with it's feet/legs tucked under like a frog.

so i am gald i did not spend the money on a doppler form home because i think i would be driving my self nuts trying to find the baby's heartbeat each day.

so i have been warned that the baby's kicks might not feel as strong as they did with lucy, but lucy placenta was also anterior but higher i think if i remember correctly... so now i worry that watson won;t be able to feel the baby kick.

Next sono in a few weeks and next appt in may.

baby kicks

poppy seed has been kicking for weeks and at first i thought i was imagining it but i am sure now that i am not. got kicked pretty good today.
