A little behind in Week #9!

Last Sunday began glorious week 9! I can't believe we're almost in the double digits already! It seems that the morning sickness has subsided (I hope so, at least), but I've got a case of the pregnancy cold for sure! All in all though, Baby B seems to be growing well (considering none of my pants really button anymore). I finally had to break down and head to Old Navy for some therapy... My, oh my! I had forgotten how comfortable maternity pants are!

This week Baby B is the size of a... drum roll please...

A grape!

All is well here.. our house is almost completely finished and we should be moving in soon (hopefully this week)!

Until next week..

8 weeks!

Week 8.. REALLY!

So it's been an entire ten days since I've updated.. but I vowed to blog weekly, and since my last post our weeks changed! Dr. Diamond has finally given us a real due date.. April 25, 2010! Our last visit showed a growing Baby B, and although we didn't get to hear its heartbeat, we saw it! A little flicker of life! Here's a (blurry) pic of Baby B at 7 weeks 3 days:


"It" is the little peanut looking thing at the top of the black part! Haha. It really does look like a peanut, but unfortunately this week we're only as big as a kidney bean:
While I've still been dealing with pretty much all day waves of nausea, overall we've been okay. Joey and Grandma Lori seem to be getting my heartburn (which is fine with me)! :) And more good news in Burnamville, Cory & Nicole announced last night at dinner that THEY are expecting a baby in May of 2010! Christmas 2010 is going to be CRAZY!

We won't go back to the doctor for 4 weeks (October 14th), and it will be at THAT appointment where we'll actually get to hear the heartbeat!

All the family has been helping us attempt to get into our house over the weekend.. we should start laying the floor at some point this week, too! We are too anxious to have our own place again.. I can't wait to cook in my own kitchen and fold clothes in my own laundry room! Haha. Grandma & Grandpa have really been great, though. Actually, I have no excuses anymore.. I bought a new digital camera and I promise, promise, PROMISE to take pictures of our progress tonight! :)

Well, I'm about to shut this office down and hit the road to get my baby boy and head home... until next week....

Baby week!

Today begins week seven, and I must say week six has been busy! Tuesday we welcomed not one, but TWO new babies..

Mason Wade

and

Ari Michael Lee

Aren't they beautiful?! Aunt D is so proud!

I must say, welcoming two babies in one day was emotional for me! When I first held Mason I couldn't believe it.. it hit me: Joey and I will be holding our very own bundle of joy in 30+ weeks. It honestly brings me to tears right now. Joey and I have children, and they are the absolute most important thing to us.. but! Joey and I don't have any children that are ours together, and I think that's what makes this pregnancy totally different to me. We've joked about names already, because I tease him... it was so much easier with Aidan, because no one else's opinion mattered! (On a side note, we have already picked a girl name.. but we're not telling anyone what it is!)

We go to the doctor on Wednesday morning, and I can't wait to hear our little critter's heartbeat for the first time. It will also be Joey's first visit to the doctor with me.. and we'll be able to bask in the glow of creating life together. I must say, marriage is wonderful. There are times when I could strangle that dear husband of mine (and I'm sure he feels the same way about me) but honestly there is no one I'd rather be spending this life with, creating a new life with, and living out the rest of my years with. I'm so blessed to be going through this with him (even though he's used to me being pregnant, LOL!).

On a pregnancy note, this week has literally been filled with exhaustion, and I can't stand it. I'm ready for the nesting stage to kick in, instead of this "Oh my, if I stay up past 9 I won't be able to function tomorrow!" feeling. Pregnancy has really been draining me, and I'm not sure I remember it being this way at all! I've also been sick for the past week, every morning, like clockwork.. and I was never sick with Aidan. My work pants already aren't buttoning (which is a horrible feeling at 7 weeks) but they do say you start showing earlier with your second child. Oh yeah, this week.. baby Burnam is the size of a......

BLUEBERRY!

Now that I'm through venting, I must shut down this office and get ready to head home. We have a busy weekend ahead, since we're STILL trying to get our house finished, but Monday is my 21st birthday so it's going to be a great weekend no matter what happens!

Until next week..

Happy (almost) Birth Day

So today we will be welcoming babies Mason Wade and Ari Michael Lee along with their parents!

It has been 10 amazing months! Watching my sister-in-law Fallon and best friend Kayse go through the miracle of life has been so much fun, and now here we are, September 1st, 2009, welcoming two babies into the world. As of right now Kayse is 3cm, water is broken, with contractions every two minutes, and Fallon is 5cm, water broken, epidural administered.

It will probably be a few hours still, but good luck to both their families, and much love from Burnamville! I can't wait to meet the newest additions to our family (and extended family)!

I will keep you all updated.. say a prayer or two!

UPDATE 9:06AM
Fallon is completely dilated, about to start pushing. Kayse is almost 4CM, just got an epidural!
