My heart stopped for a hour!

I have had some crazy bad cramps for a few days so I called my doctor and they said they want to get me right in to do an ultrasound and blood work to make sure I'm not miscarrying. My appointment was not for an hour after they called. I called Justin and had a good cry and freaked out a little bit. The worst thing is having him gone. But my mom came with me so that was good. They got me right into the ultrasound and at first the tech was just looking around. After a few minutes she said there is your babies heart beat and it is very active. She would start to measure the heartbeat and it would jump. It was so funny. After we did the ultrasound they had me go do lab work. The doctor told me that I had a UTI and that was making me cramp and that was way better than a miscarriage. Wow that was very stressful and I'm so glad that it went good. But for that hour I really think my heart stopped!

11 weeks

Friday was my first doctors appointment. They didn't do much but when he went to listen to the heart beat he couldn't find it. He was not worried but that meant we gone to go do an ultrasound. So we went a pick up Brinley so she could go to. She seen the baby on the screen but of course she is little so she didn't know that it was the baby in my tummy. I'm still to early to find out what he are having and that stinks but I hope we can do one in a few weeks so we can see. I want to start painting the nursing. I'm so excited to have my OWN house so I can paint the walls and hang pictures. So I hope in a few weeks we can do an ultrasound. I can't wait!!

Brinley is going to be Big Sister!

We are having a baby! About a month ago we got insurance back so we decided that we were going to take my IUD out and see what happens to have a baby. The doctor said that is would take about 3 months for me to start and get regular. Well 2 days later I started. So I was 8 days late if I was regular and just thought oh well my body is all messed up from the IUD. Then later night we went to dinner and I didn't feel good. So at 8:30 at night I went to the store and bought a test come home and 3 minutes later... YEAH!! So now how do we tell everyone. We wanted to make Brinley a shirt that said "I'm going to be a big sister" but there is no way I could kept a secret that long. We decided to have Brinley color a picture on a card and we googled to see what development a baby has at 4 week and seen that they get a heart beat. So we wrote on the card "your 8th/16th grand child just developed a heart beat!" And had brinley give it to them today. It was so fun to see their faces light up! We are so excited! I calulated our due date on the computer and it said Oct. 26 that is 3 days before my birthday and Brinley was born 3 days before Justin birthday. This is the best birthday present ever!!

Potty training

I have been want to potty train Brinley lately and I have been doing a little bit like putting her on a little potty every now and then but I just decided yesterday that I'm just going to do it. So I put her in underwear and put her in the potty every ten minutes. I don't start until 7 at night and she went an hour before she peed in her panties and then we went to back. Then today we have not been home a lot so I started at 6 put her in panties and set a timer for every 10 mins. We went and sat there for a minute or so and after an hour and a half she went potty in the toilet. I screammed so loud I think I scared her. We called daddy and grandmas and 10 mins. Later she went again she went 3 times in a row it is now 8:30 and she is still dry. I'm so excited. I almost started to cry. It is so silly the thing that parent get so excited about but I love it! I love being Mom it is the great joy in my life and I'm so blessed to be able to be a stay at home with her to. Sometimes it is hard with Justin here but life is still good.
