Memories...

I have always prided myself with having an excellent memory! Somewhat photographic, somewhat just sharp... anyways since I found out I was pregnant, my memory has been FAILING... my mom used to tell me how great her memory was before she had kids, but I have to admit I never really believed her, I just thought that was a normal mom thing to say... Sorry mom, and I believe you now! 

The memory loss started with little things, forgetting something at the store, losing my train of thought mid- sentence,  leaving for work without my pants on... you know little things.  I chalked most of them up to just being so excited to be pregnant and having a lot on my mind!

Well, I believe it is time for me to face the music... I am losing my mind!  Thursday, I got totally turned around driving to my dentist appointment in the neighboring town, not an area that I frequent, but I have been there enough to know where I am going... As I was driving to my appointment, I realized I was going to be about 5-10 minutes early... no big deal, just my efficiency at its best... by the time I got to my appointment I was 5-10 minutes late... I hear several loved ones saying "That's the Remy I know..." Anywho, I could not figure out where I was or how to get where I was going...I called Brad, my save all when it comes to directions, but he was in his weekly meeting... I kept driving and called back... still no answer.  After more driving around I decided to call my mother in law... She picked up right away and when I told her what was happening we had to pause our conversation for some deep hearted laughter...Luckily she knew exaclty where I was and was able to get me to my dentist appointment no problem...

I can't describe how stupid and confused I felt that afternoon... I had given myself a headache from over thinking and getting nowhere! haha! I laughed about it a good bit as did Brad once I told him the events of the day...

All this to say, I am slowly losing brain cells... I mean giving them to Tucker :)  So if I call you randomly, please pick up... it is likely that I am lost and need you to find me!

19 Weeks Sonogram

Let me just say that this was the most fun sonogram yet! I have only had one other, but this one takes the cake! We got to see our little guy move and squirm so much, it was precious!  So here is how we found out it was a boy...

Sono lady: "look there are the legs"
Me: "Aww his little legs"... "I mean or hers... I keep doing that!"
Sono lady: " You guessed the right gender, its a Boy!"

Me: "Really?!?!"

Sono lady: " Really"
Brad: "Yes!" (in a proud manly voice)

We were so excited and still are!!! I was a little nervous at first though, because the sono lady could tell it was a boy right away and when she showed us how she knew it was, we were less than convinced.  So she said she would take her measurements and move around and see if he would give us a better angle!  After the first set of measurements, she went back and well... he was holding it, I laughed, and Brad said "that's home base" (again in a proud manly voice)!  She took some more measurements and then went back one more time and our doubts were erased... I will let the picture do the talking...

Its the "thing" in the middle above the word "bottom"

Like I said... No doubt!

This is his little head, a profile view... I think we have a mini Brad on our hands!

Footprint!

As I said in the last post, Tucker weighs 12 1/2 oz.  This is 4 more oz. than his developmental stage!  My first thought was that my due date was off, but the dr. said everything else is on target for my due date... which is when Brad reminded me that he was a 9lb. baby! Yikes! In case you are wondering I am only 5'4" and weigh roughly 127lbs... remember when you were younger and your mom or grandma would tell you that if you swallowed a watermelon seed that you would grow a watermelon in your belly... well, I haven't swallowed any seeds, but I have a feeling I will be delivering a watermelon in July!   

It's a Boy! Tucker Bradley Webb

Tucker is a big boy! He is weighing in at 12 1/2 oz.  Everything else is on target for 19 weeks!  I will post sono pics and more later!!!  We are VERY excited to have a boy, and so glad he made it super clear for us to see him! Hehe!

You CAN"T have your CAKE and EAT it too...

Well this title pretty much sums up my week! 

 The Cake

No work for 3 days do to the ice storm!!!!

  The Bite

 Dr.'s office is closed and I was supposed to find out if Baby Webb is a Boy or Girl today...

Needless to say I am very bummed :(

So here is where I am trying to be Thankful... I needed the rest this week, I caught a cold on Sunday and work Monday was miserable because of it, so I am very thankful that I was able to get better without having to deal with more kiddie germs!

Now I am praying that my appointment will be rescheduled very soon!!!!!

As Promised... Belly Pic... Week 19

Here you go!!!

This seriously happened over night... I was shocked to wake up to a belly Friday morning... This picture was taken on Saturday. 

I know I have not been great about posting the progress of my growing belly but thats because I never felt like it was really growing... sure I had gained weight but it was well dispersed (unfortunately) and the belly looked just slightly more plump, like a small spare tire decided to use my waistline as storage... also it changed everyday with what I ate and how, Forgive me, bloated I was... I would go to bed looking similiar to this pic most nights but would wake up able to zip all my old pants (notice I did not say button).  Anywho those days are gone... now I go to bed with a belly and wake up with a belly and I love it!

With how sick I have been, it has been hard to get "good nutrition", I did my best, but was still worried about baby growing.  But God is good and gracious and last night I felt the little one move and kick all night... It doesn't feel like much yet, just little flutters that I can tell, forgive me again, aren't just gas!  It is so fun! I can only feel baby when baby moves on his/her own... when I push and try to make him/her move nothing happens... haha... baby webb might be a little stubborn or lazy... Which definitely does NOT come from Brad or Me... But does describe our dogs quite well at times... but NOT Brad and NOT me! :) Who am I kidding... Brad can be a little Stubborn and I can be a little lazy... It builds Character, right?!?

Well we will know on Thursday if Baby Webb is a Boy or a Girl.... So I have a survey on the side bar of my blog... take a guess! And then leave a comment with what you picked!

Are you kidding me???

My immune system is CRAP!  I am sick yet again... This time its a head cold and luckily the worst of it was yesterday (Sunday), so I am at work today, but want to do nothing but sit here... everytime a kid comes near me I rush for the hand sanitizer...

I have taken my prenatal vitamins everyday and have even started drinking V8 Fusion (lets get real, I hate veggies)  but apparently my immune system is still down.  When I told my mom yesterday she gave me the "Remy Nicole" like I was in trouble... haha...it made me laugh (on the inside, I felt to horrible to crack a smile).  I would randomly start crying yesterday too, HORMONES!, because the body aches were not fun... Brad told me I needed to toughen up just a little (in a nice way) it actually motivated me to stop crying haha... I am such a mess!

Speaking of Brad he is on track for becomming the Husband of the Year!  He started off January with a promotion, raise, and added responsibility.  By mid January he was waiting on me hand and foot because I was sick and couldn't get out of bed... and this past weekend he cleaned like crazy, fixed the fence and did some yard work! This doesn't even begin to describe all he has done... He is too good to me!  I Love you!!!!

Be looking for my next post... Belly pics #2...There is finally something there!

Home Sick... :(

The Stomach Bug = the most miserable I have felt in a long time...What about morning sickness you ask?  Not the same... with morning sickness, you throw up and feel better... with the stomach bug you throw up and never feel better and never stop throwing up... YUCK!!!! sorry for the graphic description... But it looks like I am finally on the mend.  It has been over 12 hours since my last "episode" and I am starting to feel much better... and doctor said that baby is perfectly safe and isn't affected by the bug at all!

In other news, I have a sweet, precious, little nephew who was born on January 7th!

 Milo Alexander Jacobsen

First 24 hours! 

At home safe and sound!

Baby Webb can't wait to meet cousin Milo!  And we get to find out what baby Webb is on Feb. 3!!!! WOO HOO! I can't wait to know!  I will take a belly pic once I feel better... although it can be very deceiving (the bump that is)... One day I am huge and the next you can barely tell I am pregnant...
