The waiting begins...

I have a sad/happy/cool story to tell:

My doctor called me Tuesday to let me know that my numbers are 175 (low) and that he was unsure on how this pregnancy would turn out.  Well, no more than 5 minutes goes by and a preacher, Glenn walks through our office doors (he was the preacher that prayed over my grandparents right before they passed).

Glenn said he was here to talk to me and sat down and asked me a whole bunch of questions about my grandparents and mother. My mom and I do residential appraisals together and he knew that she did and wanted her to come to his house and give her opinion on what to do to his house to make it more marketable. Even though he came there for that reason, I felt a sense of calmness even though I wanted to just break down and cry.  I felt like he came into my office for a reason and that would be to let me know everything will be ok. Isn't that crazy? Just so random, I guess.

Anyway, my doctor did not want to take a second beta but insteasd schedule an u/s for July 9th at noon. So, cool.  Now I have to wait pretty much 3 weeks to find out if the baby is ok.  I feel good though. I have sore boobs, light cramping, tired, and headaches.  Bring it on! When will the sickness start?  I'm ready for that too.

On a Tenley Note, she will be 11 months at the end of the month!  I can't believe it.  She wants to walk so bad...she stands up by herself from a sitting position and then does not know what to do from that point.  As soon as I try to help her and plops down on her rear. Walking behind her toy is no big deal to her anymore.  She will do that all over the house and I love it.

BFP!

Much to mine and Justins surprise #2 is on it's way!  Let's hope that this one makes itself comfortable in there for the next several months.  I'm so stinkin nervous though...my worries now are, what if it's a chemical pregnancy?  What if I go take my betas and they're low? I would much rather fast forward to a month from now. So, I guess I'll start my weekly surveys.  Maybe this will help pass the time.

How far along? 4 weeks

Weight gain/loss: 0

Feeling: Crampy/gassy...yummy.

Maternity clothes? Not yet, of course

Sleep: Good, like a rock.

Food cravings: Nothing. 

Movement? I had some gas jolts. 

What I miss? Nothing now, but I'm sure that will change.

Best moment this week: Seeing a darker line.

What I'm looking forward to: My first dr. appt monday.  Blood work ...eeek!

Next Appointment: Monday!

10 months!

I can't believe Tenley is 10 months old. I also can't believe she will be a year in 2 months!  Seriously, it's crazy.  I always and still get annoyed when people say, "it goes so fast".  Yea, no kidding, but they're right.  Not even sure if fast is the right word for it to be honest.  Anyway!

Tenley's new things at 10 months!  She is:
-POINTING. She LOVES to point at anything and everything. I love it.

-Saying more vowel sounds. (ga-ga-ga, ba-ba-ba, do,do,do). I love this too.

-Can we say, attached at the hip to mama?  Yep, sometimes she even cries when Justin reaches for her. Secretly love this.

-Stands alone for about 30 seconds..then gets excited and falls.  I love that she is so proud of herself when she does this.

-Her bed time is around 9:30.  That's ok with me though because this way I am able to snuggle her longer :)

-Finally...sleeping through the night! Once in a great while she will wake up and need a bottle, but that doesn't happen too often.  Good job, Tenley! :)



ALSO, we took our first trip to the zoo this past weekend.  Tenley wasn't the biggest fan, which I kind of expected, but at least her cousins went with us.  She is a pretty laid back baby. T be honest, it was kind of a disapointing trip because all the animals were either sleeping or there were only one! Really, the only exciting part was the aquarium because at those were swiming around and actually doing something Here are some pics from that exciting trip.

She loves hangng out on daddy's shoulders.
hmmm...not too sure.


Those big fish must be pretty scary.

Seriously?  Get me off of this!
