Happy 2nd Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband!

It's our 2nd year of marriage and I have to say that it's been an interesting 2 years. I can't wait to see what God has in store for our future family!

A week ago we were finally able to see Little C at our obstetrics appointment. Today, we had an appointment with my midwife group. Since my last visit 2 months ago, I've gained 5 lbs, making it a total of about 7-8 pounds in 6 months. My blood pressure was fine, so that's good. I also had to take a blood glucose test to check for gestational diabetes. I should get those results in a day or so. Fingers crossed! We got to hear Little C's heartbeat. I love that sound :)

We splurged and went to Olive Garden. Anthony wouldn't let me get a dessert though. Only because I had to drink that sugar stuff for my glucose test at the doctor a few hours earlier :( Boo on him! I did have 2½ graham crackers though, so HA! :P

Here's to many, many, many more interesting and wonderful years together.

Anthony, thank you for asking me to marry you. I love you!!

Happy Valentine's Day 2011!

Happy Valentine's Day from our family to yours!

It's been a great day! After two long months, Anthony and I finally got to see Little C. Why so long? Well, I lost my job at the end of last year which means I lost our insurance coverage. So, I've had to wait to get things straightened out. Now that everything is set, we were able to get back to the doctor to check things out.


Since I have to have my blood pressure monitored, I have to see an obstetrics doctor along with my midwife group. The obstetrics office is where we get to see Little C! Yay! Anthony actually got some video coverage. It's not the best. He shot video off of the huge TV screen they use for a monitor. We got a lot of good pictures. The poor little thing was pretty much folded in half. His/her feet were above it's head! It definitely gets its flexibility from me :) We also learned that the poor thing has my chin. At least it looks that way from the front. In a profile view though, it doesn't stick out like mine does...yet, so there's still hope!


In any case, we were so excited to see Little C move around! The doctor said it's about 1.5 pounds now and my due date is still somewhere between June 4th and June 12th. So far, so good!
