22-Week Doctor Visit

Today we had another OB appointment and the doc says everything is going well. Addisyn's heart rate was 158 bpm (the doc said anything between 120 and 160 is healthy), which the Sonic Blast ice cream shake we consumed prior to the appointment may have contributed to Addisyn's extra movement at our appointment :) Addisyn moves around all the time. If you press on her she will kick you...she is fighter lol. Our next appointment is the last Thursday of March. At the next appointment Lindy will drink a sugary beverage and then they will take some blood. This tests for gestational diabetes. Fun stuff! Anyways, next week is spring break so we are off of school and work. We are heading down to the Villages, FL to visit with Grandma/pa. We are looking forward to having a good visit and soaking up some warm Florida sun :) We will post again after our trip.

Love,

Lindy, Brian, and Addisyn

We Registered at Babies R Us! (updated post)

We are registered at Babies R Us! We spent three hours in the store scanning every item that we liked :) We have two different cribs on our registry at Babies R Us they are both the sleigh beds with the changing table and dresser. The cherry set is listed for $399, while the lighter colored set is only $199. We like both equally as much so we included both on our registry. We had originally seen a crib set at Walmart, but after checking it out at the store we realized that it was cheaply made and we would rather not get it. Anyways you can check out our registry at www.babiesrus.com or you can visit any of the Babies R Us stores. If you find something that we have registered for at Babies R Us somewhere else for cheaper and you would like to buy it, just let us know and we will remove the item from our registry :) Anyways, we will post again soon!

Love,

Lindy, Brian, Bear, and Addisyn (we decided to spell it with a "y" at the end instead of an "o" because it is more girly)

It's a Girl!

We went back today for a another ultrasound. During the last one they were unable to get pics of the baby's spine because the way the baby was positioned. Today the baby's spine was visible and the tech said everything looked great :). The baby's heart rate was 146 and the baby now weighs 12 ounces (two weeks ago the baby only weighed 8 ounces), so the baby is growing fast. We also learned that we are having a girl! Her name is going to be Addison Kaylee :) Well this has been a busy week. Poor Brian has had a fever of 102 for the past three days. He went to the doc today and they said he had an infection that settled in his lungs. He is on 4 different prescriptions now, so he should start feeling better within 24 hours. We will post again soon!

Love,

Lindy, Brian, Bear, and Addison

Having Another Ultrasound!

Dr. Rouse called us today and said we could have another ultrasound to determine the sex. She scheduled us an appointment for Thursday, February 14th (Valentine's Day) at 1:30pm. We hope the baby will be in a more inviting position this time :) We will post again after the ultrasound!

Love,

Brian, Lindy, Bear, and Baby
