Amazing Few Days

These last few days have been really good.

April 20, 2014

I thew an Easter Egg Hunt for Clark's side of the family and it turned out really well!  Debbie (Clark's mom) brought the coffee and drinks for us, while Kyle and Cindy (Clark's brother) brought donuts.  For 225 eggs, the girls went through them like they were a piece of cake!  I was worried I should have gotten more!  It was quite a fun day :) Here are some pictures! 

















By the end of the Easter Egg Hunt, I was exhausted.  We went to my parents to go have a quick lunch then head home.  The rest of the day included sitting on my butt watching t.v. :)

Today was the day of our first 3-D and genetics testing ultrasound.  Everything went extremely well other than the fact that I had to wait for 2 hours before the doctor was even ready to see us.  The appointment took a whole 2.5 hours which the last 15 minutes was just waiting for the doctor to come see us.  Nevertheless, the baby is healthy and we go back in 5 weeks to do another checkup on the genetics testing.  
Little Ostrander's heartbeat was 163 bpm :) 
Little Ostrander's weight was 2 ounces :)

Here are some of the pics we got from the ultrasound, they aren't as clear because I scanned them and the light reflected a little.  (p.s. I marked where the head/feet/hands are, etc.)



This by far was my favorite, even with the 3d pictures we got :) 



How far along? 13 Weeks!  We are officially certain we are 13 weeks and that makes us only a week behind of what we had originally thought.
Total weight gain/loss: 8 lbs and it feels like so much more! I can't tell if the majority of it is water retention or just bloatedness, etc.  I am not eatting as much as I normally do but am still gaining weight.  
Maternity clothes? YES!  I can't get enough of them
Stretch marks? YES.... They seem to be multup
Sleep: I am trying to at least get 10 hours per night and sometimes that just isn't enough.  I find it hard to believe it isn't much, but being pregnant is a hard task!  LOL Whoever said pregnancy was easy.... she lied! :) 
Best moment this week: Watching the girls Easter egg hunt on Easter.  It makes me giddy just thinking of how much I can't wait for our future baby to participate!
Miss Anything?  I miss a lot of my favorite foods.  A lot of things don't sound good and with the accompanying cottonmouth (dry mouth) it makes it hard to make things appetizing! 
Movement: No, not unless you count that from 4-5p.m. everyday I get this odd gut feeling of movement ha! 
Food cravings: Chocolate shakes... If anyone knows me, knows that I can't stand chocolate, but that is all I want.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: Moving super fast and the smell of cooking anything 
Have you started to show yet: Yes... on top of the fat I already had, the belly is definitely blooming!
Gender prediction: Still think it is a boy and Clark is convinced since the doctor said "he"
Belly Button in or out? In
Happy or Moody most of the time: I can pinpoint the mood... It is being irritated very easily.  
Looking forward to: Going to bed early (aka by 7:30) and getting my full night's rest!  Clark is already asleep :) It was a long day!
