i feel good!

i am feeling great and have a lot more energy again! i can stay up past 930 and can make it through the day without yawning the whole time.

going on almost 3.5 months, i just wish i would start to show already!

from all of the laboratory and blood work in panama, i got the results and everything is great. the baby is healthy and growing on pace! can't wait to tell the sex of it at the next appointment.

the next couple of months will probably be much of the same as i feel now, which is good because i have energy to do stuff.

what will it be, boy or girl? oh how i wonder, this sweet child of mine in my belly!

where oh where are you baby?

smooth sailing

We are in Panama, visiting doctors, and I had an ultrasound yesterday which tested for genetic abnormalities... and everything came back great, the baby is healthy! We got to see everything from the head and heartbeat to the little hands and spine. It was wonderful, and we got a video of our little one moving around! The doctors have been wonderful, extremely thorough and very informative. Now we just have to secure a place to live to start on the nursery.... :-)

Good news!

We got in to Panama last night and are with friends Hilt, Sarah and baby Sophia. Sarah made a doctors appt. for me, so this morning was such an exciting time!

I met with my new OB doctor here and she was fabulous. I had another ultrasound and got to see the little baby's heartbeat. Then we got to hear it! It was so incredible! I will be doing some bloodwork as well while we are here to ensure everything is going great. Good news, I am further along than I was previously told, as I had assumed. I have been feeling good, not quite as tired, and am almost 12 weeks along. Which means the first trimester is almost OVER! Wahoo, I can hopefully get some of my energy back! YAY!

So now, the due date is expected to be around JUNE 21!

We also got to view the Punta Pacifica John Hopkins Hospital, which was really great! The rooms were nice, and got to see the delivery area and where I will be for a couple days. It was so exciting. In the afternoon we went to look at places to live, and hopefully by the end of the trip we'll have a place picked out, so I can start prepping for the nursery! :-)

What a joyous, wonderful, fantastic day! We are beyond cloud 9...

whooped!

What a very tired and exhausting the past week and a half have been!

We had friends Tom, Reno and baby Carsen come visit from Denver, CO along with their friends and we met them over in St.Kitts for Thanksgiving. Then we came back to Antigua and had a good time, boating, the guys went jet skiing and catching up! It was a great time, but boy am i WHOOPED!
