Wives tales Boy or Girl??

So MiKay and I were goofing off on this hot weekend and decided to try the ole wives tale to see what I was having. We did the needle over the hand and the wedding ring over the belly. The wedding ring over the belly swung strong. MiKay kept saying "no touch and Wee!!" each time it swung . So that tells us it's a boy. It spun round and round when I was prego with MiKay. I then did the needle. It said girl..... boy.... girl.... stop. Before I was pregnant it use to say Girl... girl....boy ..stop.

So in 4 weeks we'll see boy or girl. I still want to keep it a surprise until the very end. I want the excitement of Matty telling me boy or girl when the baby arrives. Oh well, we'll get to do the baby's room up in boy or girl style in stead of neutral baby.

Getting bigger everyday. Mikaela is very protective of me and won't let me show off the ultra sound pics. She yells "No my baby!" and tries to take the pictures. SO cute.

alright off to bed for me

Enjoy the heat!!

13wks and still growing

well looks like the heart beat is holding stron at 153hbpm. It was about that last week too. I got the luxury of skipping an appointment. My Midwife said since I've had a no nonsense pregnancy I can go longer between visits. Sso insetad of every three weeks I get to come back in 5. Plus that will be our big ultrasound. The day we find out what we are having. I really want to experience one of Mother natures little surprises in life but Matty NEEDS to know. I am beginning to think this is a good idea now. I think in the case of already having a child it will be easier for Mikaela to connect a little better. Right now I think she doesn't understand but for some odd reason I think she actually does. I am a firm believer that children understand more than we think they can understand. She heard the hearbeat today and she actually responded by saying "that's the baby!" She likes to life my shirt up and say hi baby and wack my tummy, she also runs to Daddy to do that same to him. LOL....

I think once we can tell her she is going to have a brother or sister and give her a name she can connect a little more. I think having a name will be easier for her to understand than telling her brother or sister.

Well ladies and gents start casting your votes.... Boy or girl????

I am feeling girl but I will be shocked if I see boy. I just feel I am suppose to have girls, so does Matt. maybe we'll be wrong. I like our boys name bette than our girls name and i like my theme I picked out for a boy better because it is so cute.

BABY #2

Ok all I am adding to the baby blog. I thought this blog would be dormant for a lot longer but I guess not. I am going to keep all baby #2 pics on this blog and keep my other blog for familiy activities. Once Baby bug #2 is born I will resume to just using The Menards not cubed lol. So please check back periodically to both pages.

Ok so here are a few belly shots. I have yet to scan ultra sound pictures so be patient. I have posted 5 weeks and 13 weeks. I know at 5 wks it looks like I have nothing but seriously I was not able to button my pants let alone have any kind of pressure on my belly. I lost so much weight from Mikaela postpartum that I acctually had a gut by 5wks. hard to believe because I was so skinny already. I really felt bloated and gross. Anyhoo.

My due date is December 10th 2008 so they say.... I measured 12 wks 4 days last Thursday when I technically was only 12 wks 1 day. So the further away they think my due date is the better because if I am actually due a week sooner the less likely to be induced. Being induced isn't likely in my case but you never know. Lets just pray I go spontaneuosly again, no drugs, no nothing. Let mother nature play her role the way god intended.

At 10 wks the heart beat was found to our surprise because they said it was too soon to hear it. 164 hbpm . Now at 12wks it was I think 153 hbpm. So right now the heart is beating like it is a girl but that can change as the baby gets bigger.

To start I weighed 112lbs and now I weigh 121lbs. With MiKay I was 126lbs prior to her and in the end 155lbs. They think I will gain the same this time too, about 25 lbs . My midwives think I might gain less weight since I am so little to begin with. They said I am all uterus that baby has alot of room to grow. Lets just hope this is another small baby too.

well check in to see new pics.

As for what we want to have Matty and I don't care either way. Yes we are finding out. I really would like one of natures surprises but matty needs to know and being a control thing I cannot not know if he does for the next months. So it was agreed to find out.
