20 Week Belly Pic!

This great maternity shirt covers most of the belly! But this if you look closely you can see the belly still sticking out for my 20 week picture. 

Happy Father's Day!!!

This Sunday was Fathers Day and we had a really good day!
We visited my Dad, and spent some time chatting with him, then we went to Todd's Mom and Dads house and had Pizza and visited.
It was also a special Father's Day because Todd also was a special Father this year! The baby may still be in my tummy, but Todd is already being a great father to her, just by helping out me with all the day to day stuff, and helping me through the pregnancy! Tom and Todd
Richard and Amy
Daddy Todd :o)

 

It's A.......

Today was our 20 week appointment!! It was the big day with the ultrasound, and hopefully we were finding out the sex of our little peanut...

The baby was a little apprehensive about having it's picture taken....Baby kept turning around, and making it difficult to get a good look! The ultrasound tech said we where getting lots of great pics of the baby's hand - the hand kept coming up like it was saying "no more pictures!"

Then...We were trying to find the out the sex of the baby...And....The umbilical cord was right between baby's legs...This made it very difficult to tell...The ultrasound tech said she had an idea..But wouldn't tell us till she was confident.

After an hour of ultrasound...Getting up, moving around, and trying to get that cord to move, it finally moved for a little bit...And...We had it.....

IT'S A GIRL!!!!

We are both so excited!!! By the time we got to the part of doing the 3D ultrasound....Our little girl had turned away, curled up and went to sleep...So as you will see in the middle picture below, our pic is basically of her side/back.

Everything looked great, she is at 100% growth for 20 weeks, and everything looked good! Boy, or girl, we didn't care, we just wanted to hear the good news, that baby was healthy!!

Todd and I went to Spezia's for lunch to celebrate, after making lots of phone calls! Below are a couple pictures from the ultrasound.

18 Weeks and Counting

I downloaded all the pictures from the camera this week - and found these fun pics, Todd and I were dressed up for a work event I had. It was my works Annual Internal Medicine Awards Banquet at the Westward Ho. It was lots of yummy food, and it's always fun for me to get to introduce Todd to all the Doctor's I work with. Any ways - we where being kind of goofy with the camera, and of course I thought I would share! lol Amy in her first Maternity Dress!

This weekend was so beautiful outside, I couldn't help but be at the pool!! I had Lily on Saturday and wen went to the Pool with Toni, Kira and Landon! Landon and Lily had a blast playing in the water, and Toni and I enjoyed just hanging out in the sunshine.

Friday night was Kira's First Birthday. We all celebrated at Toni & Tim's house with lots of yummy food and lots of cake and ice cream.

Sunday was Misty (Tiffani's sister) Baby Shower. Jadon Ross is due the end of July. Misty and Jadon got lots of great gifts to get them started out! It was nice to see everyone, and of course, the cake and nuts and punch where yummy!

Memorial Day Weekend

Our Memorial Day weekend was lots of fun - we spent a lot of time outside, the weather was really hot and sunny - but the wind was blowing too!! On Sunday we went out to Round Lake (Outside of Worthington Minnesota) and spent the day with Robin and Family and Bess & Family, Todd also brought his buddy Jeff along - we all had lots of fun just chatting and hanging out in the water! Todd and Jeff spent most of their time in the air-conditioned camper playing Risk and watching the Cubs game! The girls brought their deck chairs out to the lake, and sunbathed, all in all it was a great time, the wind couldn't keep us down! Todd, Jeff and Ben 'roughing it' at the lake!

16 Week Doctors appointment!

Our 16 week doctors appointment went really well. We got to hear the heartbeat again, and it was strong, which is good! Everything seemed to check out ok! We are super excited about our next appointment on June 16, 2006 - At this appoitnment we will get to find out the sex of the baby and we get a 3D ultrasound!

Also this week - on Sunday the 21st - I felt my first baby flutter! I was walking around shopping for maternity pants, and there it was!! I had to quick call my Mom to verify that - that's what it probably was, definitly a little butterfly flutter! Can't wait to feel it again - makes it all seem so real!!

Todd Landscaping - Rock Part 2

This was just after it rained, so some of the rock is wet
Front Yard

Todd is almost completly done laying rock! It looks awesome! We also got a Birch tree for the back yard..and my favorite...one of those trees that have the beautiful white flowers in the front yard!

Todd Landscaping - Rock Part 1

Todd has worked very hard this month putting down almost 5 ton of river rock! He had a couple days where he was taking good ole' Ibuprofin for some back pain after all that work! Below are some pictures from the start of his work...

12 Weeks and counting!

This is my 12 week prgnancy photo!! You can see a little belly going on!! I can definitly tell by the fact that I can't button most of my pants!!!

I am just taking advantage of the only time a big belly will be cute on me!

Fun with Lily!!

This Friday I got to babysit Lily and we had TONS OF fun!!! We went to Chuck-E-Cheese and played and ate Pizza, Tiffani joined us for some pizza and fun and then we went to Robin's and played with her puppies for a little bit, and then went and got ice cream at Dairy Queen! It was lots of fun for us to get to spend some quality time together!

Happy Mothers Day!!

This Mother's Day was very special to me being pregnant! We got to celebrate with our Mom's on Sunday - We all went out to eat at Royal Fork, it was lots of fun!!! Being pregnant and slightly emotional already - I spent a lot of time with tears in my eyes this Mothers Day - just so happy to soon be a Mommy, to have such an amazing Mommy by my side, and to this year have a Mommy-n-Law to also celebrate Mother's Day with!
I got some really sweet cards for Mother's Day from my friends and Family. I got the beautiful flowers from my Godson (Skyelar Martinez) and his Mom and Dad! I also got a fun gift certificate to Century Theatres from my Mom and Dave so we can go out and take advantage of our free time, before baby arrives! I also got a sweet card from my baby in my belly (Thanks Robin!) That said "Thanks for taking such good care of me in your belly Mommy, can't wait to meet you!" 

Monday May 8th, 2006

Hello everyone and happy Monday!!!

This weekend was busy and fun for us! Todd had off work Friday, so he was really happy! On Friday he got 3 ton of rock for our landscaping, he was pretty sore on Saturday after all that hauling, but the yard is looking GREAT! Saturday - Mom, Dave and the kids came up. Josh and Dave went the Storm game, and Mom and I and the kids went to the movie 8 Below - it was good! On Sunday, Todd and I spent the morning together running errands, and then we went to Brandon for a parade! Kinsey was in the parade with her dance team, so it was fun! I think we enjoyed running after the candy as much as the kids did!!! I ended the day with watching my favorite show (Grey's Anatomy).

That was our exciting weekend! Everything is going well with the pregnancy. Our next appointment is May 18th. Now that I am in my 2nd trimester I am starting to get my energy back, and to feel better! We find out the sex of the baby at our 20 week appointment (middle of June!) we can't wait!!

Happy May Day!

Happy May Day! This weekend was a rainy, stay at home kind of weekend!!! Thursday and Friday I helped Toni & Terri (My Sister-n-laws) with the Kingswood rummage we had at Toni's - it was actually fun, and we made some money so that is always nice, we might start doing it at Toni's house every year!

Friday night Robin and I went to the movie "Failure to Launch" it was really funny, and it was awesome to just go out and spend some time with Robin.

Saturday and Sunday where very rainy and cold, so we rented three movies, and watched them all! Other than that we went grocery shopping, laundry, cleaned the house, all that "fun" stuff!

Justin and I visited my Dad on Sunday. It was not one of his good days, he really wasn't doing well...we did manage to talk him into getting up and into his chair, and he seemed to perk up a little bit once he did that. Please continue to keep my Dad in your thoughts and prayers.
