9 Weeks~Green Olive

Well, I'm nine weeks pregnant and my baby is starting to look like... well, a baby. LOL! My doctor's appt. is next week and I'm getting more and more anxious everyday. I'm so excited. My symptoms haven't really changed. I still need to pee every five minutes, I still get nauseous on occasion, my boobs are still sore, I can smell everything, and I'm still really, really tired all of the time. It's all worth it though. Nine more days till I see the doc! Yay!

We Got a House...Finally!

Guess what? We made an offer on a house two days ago and it just got accepted. YAY!!! We got it for $152K, the sellers are going to pay our closing costs, and we're going to lock in our interest rate at 5.7% on Monday! I am so happy!

It is the cutest little house. Well, it's not that little. It's 1,894 square feet! It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a cute kitchen, a huge, fenced backyard, and a covered patio in the back. The only drawback is that it is in Tooele.

Hold on before you start panicking. LOL! The only houses we could afford in Salt Lake County were in Kearns, West Valley, and Taylorsville. Considering some of the recent events that have happened in those areas, I don't necessarily want to raise my baby there. Tooele is safer and we'll be closer to Robbie's parents so they will be able to watch the baby while we're at work. The commute is going to suck, but Robbie and I are going to carpool so I don't mind.

I'm so excited! I'm going to be a homeowner and a mom. What more could I ask for?

8 Weeks~Raspberry

Hi Everyone,

You guys are probably starting to think that this is turning into a Sunny's baby only blog, but it's really not. I promise. There just hasn't been much else going on as of late.

Anyway, I'm eight weeks pregnant and my baby is the size of a raspberry. The fingers and toes aren't so webbed anymore and apparently they are moving like crazy, even though I can't feel them yet. The ears are developing and baby's head is growing.

I don't really have a baby bump yet, but I'm going to have to invest in a new bra pretty soon, which I'm actually pretty excited about. =) I got sick this morning for the first time in over a week, but I feel fine now. I'm getting more and more anxious for my appt on February 4th. I can't wait to see how our baby is doing.

I'll continue to keep you guys updated on baby and other things as they come up.

7 Weeks~Blueberry

So...I am seven weeks pregnant and my baby is the size of a blueberry. He or she is half an inch long, fingers and toes are starting to form, and the brain is growing fast! It's so crazy how much development is happening with my little one, even at seven weeks.

My morning sickness has subsided quite a bit in the last couple of days. Maybe I got lucky and only had to deal with it for two weeks (knock on wood). I am a lot more tired than I used to be and a little moody though. I can't wait till my next doctor's appt. I might get to hear the baby's heartbeat!

This is all so exciting and it's just the beginning. =)

Doctor's Appt.

So...As you all know I went to the doctor on Tuesday. Sorry I didn't write about this sooner. It's been a crazy couple of days with going to the doctor, house hunting, and work.

Anyway, my appt went well. I'm only six and a half weeks pregnant so nothing too exciting happened. My doctor confirmed by pregnancy with a blood test and congratulated me. I really wanted to go to him to get a referral to a good OB/GYN.

So...I have an appt. with Dr. Gravelle at the IHC Hospital on 5300 S and State Street here in Murray on February 4th. I'll be 10 weeks pregnant by that time, so hopefully I'll get to hear my baby's heartbeat. =)

Sorry I got you guys all excited for nothing. LOL!

6 Weeks~Sweet Pea

I am six weeks pregnant and my baby is the size of a sweet pea. My little one is only 1/4 of an inch long, but has caused some big changes in my body. Morning sickness hit me with a vengeance last week and it doesn't look like it will be easing up anytime soon, but it's all worth it for my baby. I go to the doctor tomorrow and I'm a little nervous, but I'm really excited. I just hope that everything is going as it should be. I have a history of miscarriages and I'm scared, but I am hopeful.

5 Weeks~AppleSeed

Hi All,

I called the doctors office today and made my first appointment. I go in next Tuesday at 4:20. I don't really know what to expect, but I just want to make sure everything is okay. I'll keep everybody updated as I learn more. Wish me luck! Oh, P.S. I totally stole this from Ash, but I love it, so I'm going to use it. ;)

Oh, baby...

Because I am too excited to wait to announce this, and because everyone will find out sooner or later anyway, I wanted you all to hear this from me...I just found out today that I am pregnant! I took two pregnancy tests and they are both positive! Robbie and I are going to have a baby! We think I'm about five weeks along, but I'm going to make an appointment with my doctor tomorrow to confirm.
It's all so surreal. We weren't planning on trying to have kids until we bought our house and were all settled in, but I guess Baby Randall had other plans.
I can't believe I'm going to be a mom. Robbie and I are so thrilled we can hardly stand it. Wish us luck, hope, and pray that this baby will continue to grow and thrive.
I'm so happy! =)

Fuck This!

You know, I'm sick and tired of our offers getting rejected. People keep coming in and making better ones at the worst possible time. Robbie and I made another offer last night on this adorable house that I fell in love with. I just found out 15 minutes ago that the seller of the house accepted an offer from somebody else. God dammit! Will this bullshit ever end? I'm beginning to think we'll never get a house. It's so discouraging when you get two rejected offers within a couple of weeks. I need 400 mg of Fukitol please.

We Didn't Get the House

So...We didn't get the house we made an offer on. The bank gave it to someone else that made an offer on that house first. I'm kinda bummed, but it's okay. We'll just keep looking. I'm not settling though. I know that the perfect house for us is out there somewhere and I intend to find it. Keep your eyes open and let me know if you see anything we might like. I'm forever hopeful. =)
