ALive and Well/ Random Thoughts!

Lets see where do I start.It has been over a week since I lasted posted.I just got back from shopping with my parents, they were shopping for a Video Camera. Yesterday I went shopping with my mom and her two sisters, we went to go look at traveling systems(stroller/car seat) that what they are getting me for my shower gift from them.I found one that I liked. Yesterday we went all over, I brought some crib sheets for the baby with animal prints on it, it is so cute. I think that I am set on crib sheets I have four sets for the little one.

1. I am 18 weeks today. Yah, and feeling pretty good. I have been getting heartburn more recently, but rather then that I am feeling good. I went to the Dr this past Thursday, I started cramping really bad, and with the previa, I am not going to take any chances. No bleeding, thank you Lord. She got the Doppler out and we heard the sweet little heartbeat, she said that it sounded health and strong. At that office that I went to on Thursday there Doppler doesn't saw how fast the heart rate is you have to count it. But I heard it, and that made me feel better. She also checked me to make sure that my cervix was closed and it was, thank you Lord. She said that the cramping could be from over doing it, in which I have been taking it ease, I thought. I did have a slightly bladder infection, and was slightly dehydrated again, which could be some of the cramping. Before I left the office I asked if I could please hear peanuts heartbeat one more time, and she said sure. He or she is a wiggle worm that is for sure the minute we found it peanut would move around. I love listening to that sweet sound of my baby, I am in love already. I go back in three weeks the 15th of April and we found out then about the previa if it has moved, and should found out of it is a boy or girl then. We do have names picked out, that we have both agreed on.

2. I hesitate sometimes to post about my pregnancy, with some of my blogger friends still waiting on there little miracles to happen and going through the ups and down with infertility and failed cycles. I don't want to upset or offense anyone.I have noticed that I am not getting as many comments as I used to. I know that when I was going through the rough journey, I found it hard sometimes to be happy for those that were pregnant, where I am now. I am praying for you girls out there that are waiting on Gods plan to be revealed and he opens your womb. Please know that I am so happy, as I have waited so long for my turn to come, a year and a half my dream came true and God had other plans for the twins that I carried for 8 wks. I thought that my life was over and that my time would not come again, but with my trust and praying heart to God he allowed us to get pregnant again, in which I thank him everyday for another day with peanut. When we got pregnant in December that marked two years. I pray that God keeps this little one safe and healthy for another 5 months growing in my tummy.

4. We have found a border that we like and that we are going to put in the center of the wall, like where the chair railing would go. I can't wait to get started on moving thing and getting the nursery set up and painted. We have picked out paint as well.

5.Week 18: -Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
