It's A...

On Tuesday we had the "big" ultrasound! It was so exciting to see little baby V. The military does things a little differently (I assume since I personally wouldn't know) then the civilian side. When I got my ultrasound the hubby sat in the waiting room for almost an hour while did all the pictures. Then after the technician finally got all the pictures she wanted and showed them to the radiologist finally we both got to see the baby together. It was just so amazing. Baby is looking good so far, everything appeared normal so that was a huge relief. We also have one active little baby. The little one was moving and flipping for the whole hour. The tech was getting a little frustrated because she was having a hard time capturing what she needed. But the news everyone really cares about, drum roll please...........

If you know the Valeri family well you are probably not shocked in the least, I mean hubby is one of 5 boys. So tradition continues, we will add another little baby boy V to the family. We are beyond excited. Really we didn't care boy or girl, we really just want a healthy little baby. Being honest I think hubby wanted a boy, I mean what boy doesn't want a little boy? So now the name game begins and it is hard I have no boy names I am attached to, good thing I have a few months!

In other exciting news, we have the BIG ultrasound this coming week! I can't wait. Hopefully little baby V will cooperate and we will know the sex. So stay tuned.

15 weeks and Counting

Oh how the time flies. I can't believe that I am almost done with week 15. It has been up and down as far as I feel. Some days are good and some are hard. I don't feel really sick compared to what I hear from others so I guess I have it good. But let me tell you some days at work are tough, and all I want to do is go home and go to bed. Case in point I fell asleep at 6:30 last night, yes you read that right 6:30 PM...as in most normal people haven't even eaten dinner yet. Oh well, I just say my body was telling me I was tired so I was being good and listening to it...good excuse right? I don't have any pictures because well frankly I don't feel there is much to show. Mostly I just feel bloated and like I am getting out of shape around the middle...I know that it's normal but I just don't feel like I want to take a picture. I did have my monthly appointment yesterday, man there is something about hearing the heart beat that just makes it seem so much more real. And they said that next month they will do the "big" ultrasound and I won't lie I am a little bit (a lot) excited for that. Yes I want to know the sex, I hate surprises and like control so I will try and find out if the little one cooperates. So let the poll begin now team Pink or team Blue? I always thought team blue but the Chinese calendar says team pink...so just food for thought.

Announcement Time!

So I know it has been ages since I have updated on here...but its because there has been a lot changing around here. Lets see what has been happening
-Put in an offer on a house, had it accepted, then had an inspection and well long long story short we walked away from it.
-Art has been coaching a T-ball team and that just finished last weekend.
-Arts work had a dining in which he was in charged of doing a lot of the planning so he was really busy at work.
-Graduation from AEGD, well the ceremony anyway I still have another month of work then I will officially just be a dentist.
Ok, ok and the real reason I haven't been very active? Drum roll please...
I am Pregnant!!!! We are sooooo excited, and I am excited to finally share it with everyone. So far it hasn't been a picnic but it also could have been much worse (so I hear from others). I have been nauseous but never physically sick. Exhausted all the time, I am talking lunch time naps bed at 8pm. The down side of the military is having to start work at 7 am which means no sleeping in. I have been slacking horribly on my working out as well, maybe 1 time a week. I am hoping to pick that up here soon, but the lack of energy and nausea haven really been killing me. That is all for now, but do not worry I should be back more often now.

The last three weeks have been crazy. Oral Surgery rotation...well I survived, and we will leave it at that. Actually it turned out better then I had expected so that is that. Other than that Art and I have been really busy working on finding a new place to live next year. That will have to be a post of it's own at a later date though. I don't want to write that saga out quite yet, I really wanted to wait until it is all settled. Just been so hectic with everything going on here, between my work/art's work, house hunting, Art coaching T-ball, me swimming a couple times a week. That's pretty much our lives right now.
