Come on Already...

Wow, I'm really bad at this blogging stuff. Not a lot has been going on. The pregnancy has been pretty much perfect. I have really enjoyed being pregnant but now I'm ready for her to be here.

I went to the doctor yesterday for my 39 week check up. I was hoping she would say pack your bag you're going to have a baby but she said I'll probably go past my due date. Bummer! She check me and said that my cervex is still long and that I'm about 1cm dilated. There is a glimmer of hope that it can shorten and she'll be here before the 17th but not likely. Dr. Farooqui said that if she is not here by next Thursdays appointment then she would induce me if I wanted to. I'm thinking that will be a yes. I want to have Patyn here before Christmas and I don't want to be in the hospital during that time. So here's to hoping and praying something happens before the 17th.

Come on Patyn, your room is ready for you and so are we!!

Only took 7 months but....

We have an agreement on the spelling of our sweet baby girl's name!



It will be Patyn Grace.



On our way to Fredericksburg, Ryan said that if we can get into the Texas/Tech game we can spell her name the way I want to. Of course he changed his mind after I was in all agreement. After much deliberation we decided on Patyn, after the teacher in me went through the phonics rules and everything trying to figure out if it was phonetically correct. I know it may look like Pat-ton but its not.



So about the game...We drove to Austin which was about an hour on chance that we might get tickets from a scalper. Well after walking around for two hours, on top of walking at the trade days, we came across someone who was willing to sell two for $120. I thought it was a scam because it was just a stub of a ticket. What do you know it was! So after finding out we were screwed the event guy told us just to hang out around an area until we were asked to move. So we thought we would walk around and try to find something. But after walking around forever I was done! I told Ryan I was done and wanted to leave regardless of how much money we would be out. So on our way out on the upper deck we came across two handicap seats and Ryan asked if anyone was sitting there and no one was. So we thought we would sit there until somebody asked us to move, and nobody did! We were stuck between drunkin idoits but were still able to watch the game.





All in all the weekend was great. However I have shin splints now thanks to all that walking!





Please excuse the hair. It was stinkin humid and hot!

The results are in...

Before I tell you what the sex is here is a little picture of our sweet baby...

Everything went well at the ultrasound. The tech check the baby head to toe and said everything looked wonderful. About ten minutes in she said that we are having a little GIRL!!!! We are so excited. My mom and Ryan's mom were able to experience this with us and they were so excited too. It's about time for a girl on both sides of the family. Also, I dont' know how I was the only one watching but I saw her flip butt over head on the ultrasound. It was so weird. I can't wait to fill her moving.


Her name will be Payton Grace, however the spelling is still an issue. We told the youth this morning that we were having a girl and that they were going to be the deciding vote on the spelling. I want Paetyn and Ryan wants Payton. The youth voted for Paetyn. We didn't tell them who wanted which and my spelling won! Ryan said that we would go with what they picked but it's looking like he won't budge. Which ever way it's spelt we still have a wonderful gift from God.

News to come

Just wanted to share that we do know the sex of the baby but I can't say until it is announced at youth sunday morning so that news doesn't leak out. Will post Sunday afternoon!!!

19 Weeks

Not the best picture but there's the belly picture. Wednesday I made it to 19 weeks. I'm feeling good and everything seems great. I go the 30th for a sonogram, finally, and hopefully we will be able to find out what the sex is. My mom is coming down to go with us and Ryan's mom is going too. I'm so excited to finally see what's been growing inside of me. Pray that everything goes good and that the baby is perfectly healthy.

It's a....

Baby!

Had our first appointment this past Friday, finally! I didn't see the doctor, it was just my enrollment appointment so I only saw the nurse. She said that I am 12 and 3 days as of today. The due date is December 17. Which is really cool because my birthday is the 9th and my dad's is the 16th. So either one of us could share a birthday with the baby. I go back to the doctor on the 2nd. This visit we got to hear the heart beat! I was worried that they wouldn't do anything and I would have to wait four more weeks to make sure there was actually something in there. haha It was really neat to hear the heart beat. It took her forever though to find it. I don't know how long she actually searched for it but it seemed like a lifetime. Finally she went lower and she found it. Our insurance will finally take over on July 1st. So next visit will be covered and I will have to do the lab work that I was suppose to do Friday.

On a side note, we are trying to train the dogs to stay off the furniture. I moved their bed into the living room and make them lay on it if they try to get on the couch. They were doing pretty good until I went to Artesia Friday and Saturday. I came home and that was the first thing they did. I don't think Ryan made them get off while I was gone. So pray that training goes well and that we won't have too much trouble with them. They, well mostly Dakota, still sleeps in our bed. It's hard to work on that when we don't even know that she ends up in bed with us. She's like a deer and can jump high standing right by the bed. These dogs have no idea what they are about to be in for.

Good News

We got good news this morning. We are going to have insurance!!! It will hopefully go into affect Wednesday so that I can get an appointment set up.

God is so good!!
