A quick update Wednesday, Nov 12 2008 

Hello everyone, I had my doctors appointment today. everything went great! The heart rate was excellent and i measured right on target. I have gained 14 lbs so far which was like a punch in the gut to hear, but i guess that’s just all part of it! I have my 26 week check up scheduled in four weeks, but after the 27th week i will be in my third trimester so i have to start going every two weeks after this next appointment! Anyway, Ryan and i are happy that we got a good report and that everything seems to be going great! We’ll keep you updated and let you know how our hospital tour goes this weekend!

Much Love,

Ry, Stace and Autumn

22 weeks, almost Tuesday, Nov 11 2008 

Hello All!

Well, I cant believe how quickly the time has gone! In just one week i will be 6 months already! Whats really crazy is that in just 6 weeks, i will be in my third trimester!!!! I am so excited and cant wait to meet my little girl! She is moving all over the place, doing somersaults and punching me in the stomach, her daddy even felt her kick for the first time last week! We have  our 22 week check up tomorrow and are going to be doing our hospital tour this Saturday. We are very excited! We will also have our child birthing class coming up in December and we just finished putting the nursery together last week, we have been very busy lately. We are very excited to be going to KY to visit our family and friends in just a couple of weeks and will be having our shower while we are there! We don’t have any new pics of the baby, but i am including a couple of the nursery for  all of our family back home to see! Oh…and… we picked a name. We haven’t picked a middle name yet bc we left that up to dad and he is sill debating, but we decided that her first name will be Autumn, and we cant wait to see her!!!!! We’ll write more soon!

Love

Ryan, Stacey and baby Autumn

Hello all,

It is now week 20 in my pregnancy and we are doing great! I am feeling the baby move a lot more now! She is so precious, we just stare at her picture all the time! Our next appointment is in three weeks but we wont be having another ultrasound until some time in the third trimester (which will begin in December). I am posting an updated pic of my growing belly & we will keep you updated on all the exciting things going on in our growing family!

Love, Ryan, Stace and baby girl

Our little girl, new pics Thursday, Oct 16 2008 

Here are some of the newest picturesof our baby girl from yesterdays appointment. They are from a 4-D ultra sound which will distort the pictures if the baby moves at all when they are being taken, so some of them may look a little alien like. It is so cool how clearly you can see her little face!

Baby’s 1st Picture Wednesday, Sep 10 2008 

13 weeks Wednesday, Sep 10 2008 

Hello All! Today was a VERY exciting day. We got to see our baby for the first time! He was very active, moving all over the place, giving us little waves :) We got some really good 4D pictures that we will post as soon as we get access to a scanner. It was too soon to tell if it is a boy or girl but we go back in four weeks for a second ultrasound where we will find out the gender of the baby. They initially thought i might be further along than what they originally told me, which is why we scheduled the ultrasound, but they put me at exactly 13 weeks with a due date one day earlier than what they had first told me. They said the size of my belly seemed normal, that i was showing a little bit more than usual bc my uterus is tilted so forward its pushing everything out. other than that, not really any news. They said the baby looked healthy, he had a good heart rate (162bpm) and was a good size! So, we are looking forward to our next appointment in 4 weeks and are excited to share with you our pictures from today.

love ryan and stace

12 weeks….or maybe 13 Thursday, Sep 4 2008 

Hello all!

Today was our third doctors appointment and it was very exciting! We got to hear the baby’s heart beat and it was amazing! The nurse said we have quite a wiggler on our hands bc we could only hear the heart beat for about 5-10 beats and then the baby would move and we would have to find it again. He was moving all over the place!!!! I was supposed to be 12 weeks today, but when the doc measured me he said i measure 13 weeks. SO…..drum roll please…..we get to have an ultra sound next week!!!!!! The doctor wants to check things out since he thinks my due date is prob sooner than March 20th. I think he is prob right bc i swear i felt the baby move today. My book says you can start feeling the baby move during the last couple of weeks of your fourth month. I am just beginning my fourth month, but im telling you, i felt it! We are so excited to have the ultra sound bc it is such a tangible sign of our baby’s existence! we wont be able to tell the sex just yet :( but we still will get to see our precious bundle of joy which is enough for me!!!! But, in about 5 weeks we will get to do a second ultra sound in which we will find out if its a boy or girl. So we have two exciting appointments coming up and we cant wait to share there outcome with you. I am sure they will give us a picture of the baby during the ultrasound next week so i will be sure to post it for you all to see!

Love, Ryan and Stace

11 weeks Thursday, Aug 28 2008 

11 weeks…yeah! Just two more and we will be in our second trimester and beginning our fourth month! We are so excited! next week is the big day when we get to hear the heart beat and then just four short weeks after that we will know if we should start buying things in blue or pink! I have this thing that is supposed to let you record the baby’s heart beat and email it to family and friends, so if i figure out how to use that i might try and email it to some of you, we’ll see :) Well, we hope to have lots more to tell you after our dr. apt next week so ill write again then!

P.s. Below is a picture from a 3D ultra sound. 3D ultra sounds are widely used now and this is the type we will be having in about 5 weeks. This is a picture i found of a baby in the 12th week. This is what our little one looks like, or will look like next week. Its amazing that even though he is only about 2 inches from crown to rump all of his organs are in place and he even moves now (but hes still to small for me to feel it!) My pregnancy book says that by the 11th week, if you press on your belly, the baby will move in response to your prodding. How amazing is that! I cant see how anyone could ever say hes not yet a human being. Not only is he already his own person, but even better, he’s my baby!

Love, Ryan and Stace
