3D ultrasound..

We went to an ultrasound clinic today in Las Vegas. I have been nervous to see our little girl. She is still a girl.:) It was crazy to see her and kinda get a feel of what she is gunna look like. By the looks of the pictures we got I think that she will look more like me. But maybe i'm totally wrong. It seemed she has my nose, my eyes, and my rolls. lol. She looks like she has some chubby cheeks. She was asleep during the ultrasound and wouldn't move for nothing. She also had the umbilical cord right in front of her face. The next time we see her will be in two months when she will finally be here. Happy nesting!!:)

Baby Nursery & Another Dr. Appt!

No this is not my nursery.. I can't figure out how to get pictures to go to the bottom.. Read the post below..:)

We have been working on decorating the baby's room and trying to start getting stuff together. We have the crib, changing table, and rocking chair/glider put together. I keep trying to think of stuff to make the room better and cuter for a little girl. Today at the Dr. we got the mattress for the crib and went and got some blinds for the windows. I keep teasing Cody that I want Franck, from my all time favorite movie Father of the Bride Part 2, to come do the nursery. I mean come on.. Who wouldn't want a nursery like this one (See pictures above)?! Its beautiful! Oh well, I guess I will have to work with what I have..:)

We went to the Dr again today. Everything went well. I had to do the glucose test today to test for diabetes. The drink that I had to drink fourty five minutes prior to my appt was not too bad. It was fruit punch flavored, it was just like fruit punch but watered down. I felt kind of sick waiting. I think it was because I had not eaten since like eight am and my appt was at one thirty! I was so hungry I felt like I was going to pass out and throw up all at the same time. Dont worry, I inhaled a bag a peanut butter m&m's when I was done. I also had to get my finger poked. (I hate that!) The test came out negative. I have also had the most itchy tummy ever so I asked my Dr. if there was anything stronger than just lotion that I can use. It seriously itches so bad! I wake myself up itching my stomach in the middle of the night. She took a look at my stomach and said that she thinks I have PUPPS. (I believe thats what its called). I have little red dots on my stomach. She said it wouldn't hurt the baby, it would just drive me crazy! I bought some different cream to put on it. Hopefully it will help, because I hate being itchy! I gained six pounds this last month. We go back to the Dr. in a month and then we start our every two week visits.

Cravings lately: Cookie dough blizzards & Jerky.

I'm starting to get bigger. Haven't ran into sleepless nights yet. I get up 2-3 times to go pee in the middle of the night. I'm starting to feel more tired and want to sleep lots. I love foot rub and back scrathes. Thank goodness my husband is so supportive and rubs my feet every night.:)

We are doing good and hope everyone else is too! :)

Stay tuned for pictures of my baby room.. I need to get it more put together before I share pictures.:)

Belly Picture..

* Twenty Five Weeks*

Things are going well here at the Hardy home. We are keeping busy and having fun.


Cravings: Mac and cheese with A1 sauce, Cookies(thanks Cindy), and fruit smoothies.

Our favorite treat..

We love milk and orange rolls or cinnamon rolls. And its so easy. We just buy a bag of the rhodes rolls and set them out for 3-5 hours. Or you can do the Cody Hardy method and turn the oven on and set the rolls on the hot oven so they rise in about thirty minutes. But either way they are yummy.:)

My Crazy Cute Cody..

Hahaha. My husband makes me laugh on a daily basis. A couple weekends ago I took my little brother to a 3D movie (Gnomeo and Juliet, I almost fell asleep). But my husband here had fun with the 3D glasses. He popped the lenses out of them and put some tape in the middle and says they are his 'reading glasses'. When he walked into the room with them on I just laughed and had to snap a few pictures. He didn't take them off for like thirty minutes after he put them on. I'm so thankful for Cody and all the does for me each and everyday. He always does what I ask with out complaining and with a cheesy smile on his face. I couldn't ask for anyone better. I LOVE him.:)

Feelin' like humpty dumpty or a fertility goddess??

Definitely Humpty Dumpty!!

A couple weekends ago my family was going to Dumont Dunes so we decided to pack up and get outta the valley for a couple days! It was a nice get-a-way. While we were there I started having pretty bad random stomach cramps. And they were painful! I thought it must of been something I had eaten or just growing pregnancy pains. After two days I started getting worried and called my Dr. on Tuesday. They told me it was best if I come right into the office and they take a look at me because they thought that I might be having some contractions. So I left work and headed to the Dr. I got there and they hooked me up to the non-stress test machine for and hour or so. They also checked my cervix. It appeared to be closed still. And the non-stress test showed that I was not having contractions. We did find out what was wrong with me though.. I had been taking and anti-biotic because I had an infection in my throat and it reacted really sensitive with my body. So I'm on ten more days worth of pills. With my iron, prenatals, and these pills, I am taking 12 pills a day. I feel old.

I went to the Dr. today for my monthly visit. Things are looking good and the baby is growing. My stomach grew one centimeter and I gained six pounds this month, making my total weight gain around 16 pounds. I have been in a lot of pain because something is wrong with my tailbone. My Dr. referred me to a general surgeon. So I am going to see her next Monday.

Cody went with me to the Dr. and we also went and bought a crib and changing table. We still have a lot to get but it's a start.

Dr. Appointment #4.. {Ultrasound}

*This isn't a very good picture, cause I took a picture of the picture with my cell phone. You can see the side profile and SHE also has HER fingers in HER mouth.*

I thought that the day when we found out the sex of our baby would NEVER come. I was seriously counting down the days. When it finally came I was nervous/excited. I was nervous just because this was our first ultrasound and I had never seen the baby before. It was really cool to see that there WAS actually something in there. I think that this has made it very much more real for both Cody and I that we are having a baby. I think that it was also fun that we found out that it was a girl. I was totally prepared for a boy. Pretty much everyone I know that's pregnant is having a boy. When the Dr. said that it was a girl I was literally cheering on the table I was laying on. Haha. I am so excited. I can't wait to dress her in dresses with tights, and put bows in her hair. I think Cody was wanting a little buddy to take hunting or on the rhino, but I think a girl will be fun for him too. She will be spoiled rotten by him, that's for sure. He cracks me up. After the ultrasound I have caught him calling me 'Momma' a lot and saying 'Our Little Girl' when referring to the baby. We love her so much already and are excited for her arrival. I just hit the 20 week mark so we are officially half way there. It's all down hill from here right?? Haha.

My iron levels did come back normal so I was relieved that I won't have to go to a specialist for my iron. Hooray.
