**Baby update - Mommy is 7 weeks and 3 days pregnant! Your baby's leg and arm buds are longer now and they have divided into segments where the hands and feet will be. The hands and feet also have an area where the fingers and toes will begin to form. At this point of your pregnancy, the heart is bulging from the body and it has divided into right and left chambers. The brain's hemispheres are continuing to grow and the air passages into the lungs are visible. Your baby's eyes are beginning to get pigment. The nose is developing and the beginning of the face can be seen. The baby's abdomen is developing quickly and the appendix and pancreas are already present. Your baby's digestive tract is beginning to for.**
Happy Memorial Day! I am enjoying my last day of a 3 day weekend with my kids. I am really beginning to notice some pregnancy mood swings! I am so excited about my appointment this week, that means I'm one step closer to seeing the doctor. Only part that I am not looking forward to is I can't find anyone to watch the kids and Jerry insists on coming to this appointment. Nothing new on the pregnancy front . . . just getting by.

So I called the doctor's office today during my first break. It was kinda exciting. . . I had to walk out to the truck to call because I didn't need anyone overhearing my conversation.
I chose the Rockhill Woman's Clinic in Lee's Summit to be my prenatal doctor's. So I should be delivering in St. Luke's Lee's Summit Hospital. They like to see their new patients around weeks 7 and 10 of a pregnancy. So my first appointment is June 3rd at 9:30 am. The first visit is with a nurse and that's when all the information is taken about my family and health histories. Blood work and urine samples are also taken at this appointment. A week or so after the initial appointment, I go back and actually see a doctor.
I'm really excited, hopefully my sister in law can watch the kids that morning so that Jerry can go with me. If not I'm not to worried about it. But I don't think it's an appointment that the kids need to go to. But I also know that Jerry's never missed an appointment yet, and I don't think Baby #3 is going to be different!

**Baby Update - Mommy is 5 weeks and 2 days Pregnant! The plate that will become the heart has developed. Your baby's brain, spinal cord, muscles, and bone formation are also beginning to form. The baby's skeleton is forming at this time as well. The embryo has a distinct organization that has a top, bottom, left, right, front and back.**
It's been a busy, busy week here. Chloe graduated from preschool - I am so very proud of her! The entire family was down to see us and it was so hard to not bust out and tell everyone. But it's really to early for that, especially after what happened last time. Hopefully soon, after we get the thumbs up from the doctor.
So far there's been no new symptoms. . . just the frequent running to the bathroom! But they always say morning sickness starts at about 6 to 8 weeks.

Happy Mother's Day to Me!! I got a BFP!
So it's official. . . Baby Daily #3 is on the way!
Background information - Jerry and I started discussing when to start "trying again" last summer. Of course, he wants a huge family and well, all I know for sure right now is I wanted more than two. :o) So my last package of Birth Control Pills was finished up at the end of December 09. I got a positive pregnancy test on February 3rd, I was estatic!! On our very first cycle of trying to conceive we did it! But sadly, the celebration was short lived because I started miscarrying three days later on February 7th. I talked to the doctor and he said that I wasn't miscarrying. . . In fact I had what is called a "Chemical Pregnancy". Which is when the egg is fertilized but fails to implant. Which could be a result of chromosomal problems in the fetus. So I was pregnant long enough to get a positive pregnancy test but not long enough for a heartbeat. Which strangely put me at ease. . .
So on to the next cycle we went. Cycle #2 was very informing because I took OPK tests, which verified that I was actually ovulating - which is awesome if we wanted to concieve. Cycle #3 was a total bust because I was sick most of the time. And it was an unusually long cycle for me (35 days). There was no hope of a 2010 baby.
Cycle #4 was are homerun and with the New Year, there will be a New Baby!! I tested with an internet freebie on May 7th and the line was so faint it disappeared before I could get a second opinion (or a picture). So I waited a few more days - the pregnancy hormone, double in value every 2-3 days. Mother's Day morning brought me a definately BFP!! (Big Fat Positive)
Yay! So obviously, the only two souls that know are Jerry and I. I'm going to try and call the hospital tomorrow to see which OBGYN's are around here. I got a lot of ground work ahead of me. . . but the hard part is over, right?!?! :o)

Update. . .
Sorry it's been a while since I've updated! But if you know my life at all, you know how crazy it gets around Christmas. I worked 48 hours last week because of Black Friday, Chloe was begining to think I was never going to have a day off!
Thanksgiving was awesome, we went to mom and dad's house and stuffed ourselves full. Jerry got to go hunting with Dad. Kids got to hang out with Grandma, while Joanna and I hung out at Walmart! LOL. We didn't get to stay too late because I had to be at work the next morning before any person should even be thinking about getting up! But it was fun and glad it's over with. . . Now I just have to get Christmas over with!
About a week ago, Jacob was sick. He was throwing up one day, diareha the next, and then just a running nose. Then last Wednesday, Chloe came down with a horrid cough. And by Friday I there wasn't a change in the coughing. . . 12 hour Delsym was only lasting 5 hours. So Saturday when she woke up with her eyes crusted shut (a sure sign of pink eye), I took her to Walgreens Take Care Clinic (which I highly recommend!!) because I couldn't get the cough to stop and Chloe was getting upset that she was coughing so much! There were 4 people in front of us, and we only waited about 20 minutes before she was seen by the nurse practioner. Doctor looked her over and asked a lot of questions and said that I was treating the wrong thing. . . the problem wasn't the cough, it was the sinus infection and ear infection that was causing drainage to the back of her throat which was causing the cough! And on top of that she definately had conjuctivitis. So after leaving there (which no co-pay! They billed my insurance) we headed to Walmart to fill her two prescriptions because they were $4.00 there. (So I grand total of $8!!!! That's it, that's all I paid!) While we waited for them to fill the medicines, I took Chloe to see Santa. She was so excited, we are going to have to take Jacob next weekend. Back on the subject - Chloe is currently taking Amoxicillan twice a day, Eye drops in her eyes four times a day, and Delsym Cough Supressent twice a day. . . AND let me tell you she is a totally different kid, she definately feels better. We've been given the green light to let her return to school tomorrow.
Yesturday, the kids and I decorated the house for Christmas. We put up the tree, hung the lights, and hung the stockings. Glad that big chore is over with. . . Now if only I could keep Jacob and the kitten away from the Christmas tree!!

Happy Halloween!!
We hope everyone had a marvelous Halloween! I know we did, and boy was it a busy one! Amazingly, Saturday morning Chloe and Jacpb let me and Daddy sleep in! It's been a LONG time since they let us do that, which was really nice. I suppose it was abour 9:30 when I got up and fed the kids breakfast, followed by baths for both!
Jerry got up a little later, and he took over kid duty while I showered and got ready for the day. After all of us had breakfast and baths, we headed out to Walmart to get wrapping paper to wrap a wedding present in and a money order for our house payment. After Walmart we ran the house payment to Pleasant Hill and hung out with the McCrea's for a little while before heading back home.
At home, I scrabbled to get all the costumes together and scarfs and mittens for the kids, along with Wedding presents, camera and quite kid things to keep them occupied during the wedding ceremony. We locked the dogs inside the bathroom and headed out for the evening. We aren't sure how many trick-or-treaters Freeman has because we haven't stuck around here on Halloween, so we lock the dogs in the house to keep them from barking at everyone outside.
Mandy and Forrest's wedding was really nice, I enjoyed being there except the ceremony was 40 minutes late and Jacob got a little rowdy and Jerry had to take him outside. Poor Jerry, he wasn't in a good mood since he had to wait outside for us. But once we left to catch up with Dlexa he was fine. Dlexa and Ashlynne went with us trick-or-treating to a few houses in Raymore. . . just drove by a few of the people I work with because they wanted to see the kids.
We finally left Raymore around 7 and headed to Harrisonville to catch up with Jerry's sister's family. We trick-or-treated with them last year and the kids had a lot of fun together. After about another hour of trick-or-treating, we all went to dinner together at Applebee's. Dinner was fun! There were 4 adults and 5 kids. . . we all had a terrific time and the kids ate all their food. Dinner was probably my favorite part of the night because it was a ton of fun just sitting around talking and laughing. We didn't get home that night until after 10:30! It was a good thing that Day Light Savings ended and I could set the clocks back an hour before I went to bed because I needed the extra hour after the crazy day!
Today it was back to normal for everyone, I had to work this morning and Jerry had to work this evening. I'm ready for Monday though. . . Chloe needs to get back on her school schedule because she's driving me crazy!! :o) Got love a 4 year old!
Well I better get off of here and get Chloe is bed and the house cleaned up. . . Oh and tonight is trash night. . . :o( Don't forget to check out the pictures I posted on the other site!! Leave comments and tell us what you think!
