21 Weeks

Just adding a new baby belly picture. I feel like it grows massive amounts in only a week lately so I figure an update makes sense. A new post will be added in 2 days when we find out if our little baby is a boy or a girl!! December 8th is almost here, finally!

Newest Baby Bump picture, taken just this morning...

Nothing new to note of. Find out the sex on December 8th, so that's just right around the corner. Neither of us have any idea still. One day we think it's a boy and the next we think it's a girl. Good thing purple looks good on either ;)

K-State decided to lose against Nebraska last Saturday night, so that puts an end to their magical run with Coach Snyder returning. We should be a lot better next year, and hopefully a trip to a bowl... We now turn our attention to basketball season, where the Cats should be in the top 25 the majority of the year and poised to make a deep run in the NCAA tourney. In Frank Martin I trust!!

All for now-

November Dr. appointment/ 23 days...

I had my last doctor appointment on Thursday the 12th. It was the quickest one we've had. My doctor just listened to the heartbeat, which sounded strong, and measured my belly for the first time. Nothing much to report. She says everything looks good right now and to keep doing what we're doing. She did say the baby sounded quite active, which I can definitely confirm. I'm defninitely feeling him or her more now depending on the day. She said Daniel should be able to feel the baby within the next month so that will be exciting. 23 days now until we find out if Baby is a girl or a boy! Any thoughts?? Give us your guess now, the countdown has officially started!We will keep you updated and don't forget to watch that K-State vs. Nebraska game next week, it's a big one!!

K-State Football and Baby Update

A great weekend for football this weekend!! Yes, it was the ever exciting KU vs. K-State football game as well as Gary, Daniel's dad's, surprise birthday tailgate for his 50th birthday this weekend. Both were a HUGE success!! Gary didn't have a clue about the party and K-State had an awesome victory over KU 17-10. It was quite a fun game and the weather cooperated perfectly being in the mid to upper 70's. We were sad my parents weren't able to make it as my dad just had shoulder surgery, but he seems to be doing well:) My sister was able to come, however, which was great! One more home game this year for KSU vs. Missouri and then an away game vs. Nebraska. It may be asking a lot, but we are hoping we will not be finished there this season! This football season has been a lot more exciting than we were expecting:)

Here is the latest baby bump picture. This is at 17 weeks. This was from game day prior to leaving for the game, so we had just gotten up and ready at 5:30 am. That explains the half closed eyes:) This has been the week of lots of "Wow's!" The baby has obviously grown and even those who had seen me the week or 2 before were surprised at how much the belly has grown. The most exciting news this week is that I have been feeling the baby moving!!! I'm pretty sure I felt it before, but now I'm sure as I've felt it almost every day this past week. It just feels like a little flutter in my stomach, and is probably the most amazing thing I've ever experienced. Now for Daniel's quote, "It's not fair you get to feel the baby all of the time, I wish I could feel it too." I thought that was pretty great he wants to be able to experience it too:) Our next doctor's appointment is Thursday (we will be 18 weeks then) so we will keep you posted!

Baby Bump Part II

Until this morning we hadn't updated in a while, so sorry about that. I'm sure most of you know things have been a little crazy lately around the Myers household. Everything is fine with Baby Myers, but as I mentioned before things with work have not gone well. To make a long story short, my work is being taken over by the Independence School District and they have decided to terminate the therapy department. They are, however still going to let us into the building to continue seeing our kids there at this time so that is good. So, last Friday I started my own business, Jamie Myers Occupational Therapy, LLC, and will begin seeing kids independently through Missouri First Steps and hopefully through Missouri Medicaid in the near future as well. I'm not sure how well this will work out, but if it does it would allow me to work 3 days a week, which would be wonderful when the baby is born. But, if it doesn't then that just means God has another plan for us and we will try to take things as they come.

As for the baby, you can see I have begun to get a baby bump which seems to keep growing, esp. in the last week! We are still waiting to feel the baby move, but that probably won't happen for another month or 2. And again still waiting for Dec. 8th when we find out if Baby Myers is a boy or a girl!!! We've had some opinions, but of course nobody is for sure yet:) Can't wait to post those pics!!

Baby Bump

Just took this picture of Jamie before she left for work. A slight baby bump is becoming apparent.

Nothing new to discuss other than the K-State Wildcats are currently in first place in the North. That's pretty exciting to the two of us!!

Next Dr. checkup is November 10th, so we'll let you know of anything after we have that appointment.

14 weeks

It's been a while since we've posted, but we've had a lot going on lately. Unfortunately my job has been super stressful lately. It's been back and forth for a couple months about whether or not we are closing due to financial difficulty and we have recenlty found out that the administration and therapy staff will most likely be cut as of November 1st. As for me, I plan to continue seeing the kids I can independently through Missouri's birth to 3 program. We are just praying that this will work out for us.

Baby Myers is doing just fine. We had a doctor's appointment last Friday where I was able to get the flu shot. The doctor strongly recommended I get the H1N1 shot as well, but it's not available yet so I have a little more time to think about it. We were able to hear the baby's heart beat with the little machine this time, which was really cool! Heart rate is still in the 170's:) I've been feeling much better lately and am slowly have more difficulty comfortably fitting into my pants. Other than that we are just thankful that the baby seems to be healthy for now. We will hopefully be updating soon!!
