It's a BOY!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was one of the most precious days of my life. We finally found out what the baby was after 20 weeks of wondering! I made my appointment for 8:30 in the morning, because i knew i could not make it a whole day without knowing. We got to the doctor's office way to early and had time to sit around and take guesses as to the sex and what he or she would look like. When 8:30 finally rolled around we pretty much went straight back to the ultrasound room. I layed down on the table and got all jellied up and with everyone watching we started seeing the baby! The tech had to take a lot of different pictures of my ovaries and every appendage the baby had. We saw his heart and brain (which are both perfect and healthy) and everything else you can imagine! The tech had to get a profile shot of the baby but, our little boy was being stubborn! He kept flipping and flopping over and after a few little wiggles from the Tech he finally looked up and she got her shot! I was just in shock at how much my little man had grown! he was perfect and active and so funny to watch! she zoomed in on his little booty and there it was lol He was a BOY and was not shy about showing us =)

After the ultrasound was overwith and we finally knew we were bring Anderson Bradley into this world, i was weighed and had my blood pressure taken and then it was time to meet with Dr. Joe! He came in and asked if i had been eating miracle grow bc our little man was a little bit bigger than normal! It scared because I felt like i wasn't being a good mother by not eating right. Dr. joe then told us that my weight was perfect, i had gained 10lbs in 20 weeks, which is right on target...yet my baby was too big?? So he suggested i try eating whole grains and fresh fruit and veggies and no more preservitives and processed foods. If the abby was just big by genetics he told us we would possibly have a 8 to 9lb baby on our hands! That scared me, but he assured me the baby was very healthy and he would probably just be a big baby. I am ok with that now, becuase as long as Anderson is ok, im ok! So here he is! introducing Anderson Bradley Sartain, due August 15th 2010

Tomorrow is the big day!!!!

Well we have finally made it half way through this pregnancy!!!! I turned 20 weeks yesterday and tomorrow we find out the sex of the baby! I have to admit i am very nervous!!! I am working overtime tonight just so i won't sit at home all night thinking about tomorrow.

Saturday i went shopping with my mom, bother and his girlfriend and we had a blast! I bought some new clothes to go over my every growing belly and then had a wonderfully lazy sunday at home with my husband! Everyone is so excited for tomorrow I just hope it gets here fast!

Almost half way!!!!!

What a week this has been! Work has been super busy, and life is getting the same! I am so excited that I get a nice day to relax tomorrow and do some much needed "mommy clothes" shopping! There is only so far a belly band will go! =) I am hoping that Bradley will be able to feel the baby sometime this weekend, since my belly has been jumping up and down from all the acrobatics Baby S has been doing =) We are 4 days away from seeing our little wiggle worm and words cannot express how ready I am to see my little one. I will have a packed house in the ultrasound room so I hope the poor Tech is ready! We are very anxious to know the gender as well! I am hearing boy and girl from different people, but I honestly have no clue what I am having, not even intuition as to the sex. so all we are doing is praying the baby is healthy and happy and ready to find out the sex so the shopping can begin!!!!!!

Rain drops keep falling on my head...

Well what a weekend it was for us! This was my birthday weekend and Friday started it off =) My sweet husband took me to dinner right after work to Chilie's in Millington. We had a gret time talking and spending time together! Then we went to see Alice in Wonderland, which I have been dying to see since it came out and it was amazing! And being the old married couple we are, after the movie was over we went home and went to bed!

Saturday was such a beautiful day! Bradley stayed home from the gym to help me around the house! We got up bright eyed and bushy tailed at around 9 and went to drop my car off for an oil change which it needed very badly!!! We then did our errands and grocery shopping and finally made it back home around 2 ish! We cleaned the house and got our new mini blinds hung up and some picture frames I have had from wedding showers hung up as well. We settled down around 5 so i could watch New Moon, which my sweet husband bought me for my birthday! Saturday was the best day of our weekend because the weather was wonderful and we got so much accomplished!

Sunday was my actual birthday and I got to sleep in until 10! I didn't really do much else excpet move from my bed to the couch! I stayed there until 5 that afternoon with my feet up and tried to catchup on some much needed sleep and relax a little. At 5 we got up and started getting ready for my birthday party at my mom and dad's house. We had one of my favorite meals for dinner and then i got to open presents and spend time with my amazing family. My little cousin Drake stole the show though! 1 and 1/2 year olds tend to do that =)

All in all i had a wonderful birthday weekend and I am anxiously awaiting my doctors appointment next Tuesday. We are so ready to know what we are having, and I can't wait to see how big my little wiggle worm has gotten since I haven't seen him/her since i was 8 weeks along. We are waiting until then to get a jump start on the nursery =) So we are praying this week go by very fast =)

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!!!!!

"The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.”- Audrey Hepburn

I think this quote is perfect for the day I have had so far! I'm so blessed to have a wonderful husband! I am at the point in my pregnancy where, according to all the books, I am supposed to be glowing and looking great....Yea still waiting on that to happen! All I see is the weight I have put on and the wonderful teenage breakouts I have been getting. I got so aggrivated with myself this morning while looking in my full length mirror. Don't get me wrong I am already head over heels for my sweet baby, but I was not ready for the body change. So my lovely hormones kicked in and I started to get really upset this moring! Luckily my husband knows what to say to put a smile back on my face, he always tells me how beautiful he thinks I am, even though I am feeling sorry for myself and refuse to see it. I don't know what I would do without him, and I know that my body is going through the toughest thing I will ever put it through and my size 2 highschool body will never be back. I can't thank God enough for blessing me the way he has, and letting me meet the sweetest most caring person to share my life with. I know when my little boy/girl gets here, my body image will be the LAST thing on my mind!!!

A new trend for me

I decided to start this blog as a sort of therapy, to get my throughts, stress, and fears off my chest. I admit I never really thought about blogging before, but most of my firends do this now and I thought, why not?! I have been married to the most amazing man for 6 months today! I got to have my fairytale wedding and my real life Prince Charming. My parents and friends worked so hard to give me my perfect wedding and I will forever be grateful! Well about 2 months after the wedding, the Sunday after Thanksgiving to be precise, we found out we were expecting. We were both shocked because I had no clue!!! We had been trying for only a month to get pregnant and I guess we were both shocked it happened so quickly. That next Monday I found a new Doctor and made an appointment to confirm the pregnancy. I was so nervous at that first appointment (for the most part because i was scared of needles and just KNEW they were going to take blood!) However, the only thing I had to do was the usual stuff and we got to meet our new Doctor that would help us bring our sweet baby into the world. Well to our relief the pregnancy was confirmed with a due date in the middle of AUGUST! Sitting in the room waiting for our doctor was stressful too! I had never had a male OB before so ofcourse I was uncomfortable!!! But then in walked Dr. Joe and just the big smile on his face ahd me totally at ease. He had delivered a lot of my friends children, and they had given him rave reviews! He was so nice and vrey professional! I was 2 weeks along when I found out and I am now 2 days away from being 18 weeks! Time has really gone by fast and it is hard to believe I will be a mommy in just 4 1/2 months! I think the most precious thing I have ever heard was getting to hear my baby's heartbeat at the last two doctor visits, both times he/she had a strong 160 hb and of course to me that is screaming LITTLE GIRL =). The most precious thing I have seen, besides my precious baby in the ultrasound photos ofcourse, would have to be the look on my husbands face the first time we heard the heartbeat. (starting to cry while writing this...love those hormones) I truely could not be blessed with a better family or friends, they ahve supported us through everything and without them I have no clue where we would be. We will find out the sex of the baby on the 30th of this month and I must say I am so anxious! There are no girls at all on Bradley's side of the family, so I am kind of pulling for a little girl! In all truth, the sex does not matter, we just pray God blesses us with a happy and healthy baby. I found a few weeks ago, that I would not be going through this long, hot summer being pregnant alone! One of mine and Bradley's very good friends called me to let me know she and her husband were execting just 4 days after ours was due! So Congratulations go out to Esther and David Bledsoe!! Pregnancy has been an interesting journey so far and feeling th baby move has been the best part yet!!! I am anxious to see what is to come in the next few months! God Bless this life he has given us!
