26 Weeks

We had our 6 month Dr. appointment on Thursday and things are coming along right on track. My belly is measuring right at 26 weeks and her heart rate is still sounding strong. I had my glucose tolerance test where I have to drink this glucose drink and then they draw my blood an hour later to test for gestational diabetes. I haven't heard anything, so I'm assuming all is well. My dr. said no news from them is good news:)

Daniel is now in the process of painting the baby's room. We went with a green color for the walls and plan to have pink and brown accents. That will match the bedding we picked out. We have furniture ordered now as well, which should be in within 3-5 weeks!! We got a crib and a combo dresser with a mirror. The color of the furniture is brushed white. I can't wait to get it all put together! Here are some pics of the room and my awesome painter:) We will post more when we get the furniture put together in the room. Things seem to be coming along nicely. 3 months left and her room is getting closer every week to being ready for our little miracle to show up!!

25 Weeks

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Things have been going well. We have enjoyed the holiday and are now getting busy getting the nursery ready for baby to arrive. We have ordered furniture and Daniel has started painting. We are painting the nursery a light green color. We will post some pictures when we have everything finished and set up.

As for our girl, she has been kicking more and more, although she does have her sleepy days where she is not very active. Daniel finally got to feel her kick this past weekend!!

Our next dr. appointment is this Thursday. I have to have my glucose tolerance test done, which I'm not really looking forward to. I hear the drink is awful and I who enjoys getting their blood drawn?? Hopefully everything will be fine. As for now, we only have 9 more appointments left before her arrival. We are just waiting and continuing to get things ready for our baby girls arrival!

Baby Myers is a...

Well it's official, we know what we are having... she's a GIRL!!! Our little girl is completely healthy at this point and weighing in at 1 lb. already:) The sonographer measured her brain, looked at her heart, and did several other measurements to make sure everything looks ok so far. She also looked at her spine, which looked good as well:) She was moving around like crazy during the sonogram and had her legs up above her head. It was really awesome to see her squirming around so much. We are so happy and blessed that we have a healthy baby. Now we get to plan a nursery! From looking at her profile I'm convinced she has Daniel's nose, but only time will tell:) Due date is still confirmed for April 15th 2009!! We can't wait to meet her!!

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!
