First dream about baby!

OK, so I just had my first dream about the baby last night. I dreamt we were finding out the sex and it was a....GIRL! I am so anxious to find out what it really is. This is so exiting. I hope I have more dreams.

my baby belly- 13 weeks

It's here! This little baby is just growing and growing! The other day I kept looking down and realized that this bump protruding out of me was not something I could suck in. I have a feeling that this baby is going to take after Bud's size. Not such a great thing for me, but we'll see how it all goes. Hopefully no problems later on!

Our date

So the other day Bud and I decided to get away. We've been stuck in the house job searching for over a month and we were just sick of it. So Bud took me out to the country and into a little old town just to hang out just the two of us. We walked in the rain through all the little shops and had lunch at this cute little saloon. We ended out trip buy driving around and looking at houses. We're really considering moving up to a place like that. We can't wait to get out of where we are. So here is just a few moments of our day.
It was raining so hard!!!


The Man Burger! It was a whole lot bigger than he was expecting it to be. It was HUGE! He didn't even know how to eat it.




My sad attempts to take pictures of the cows!

A scary, then exciting moment!!

OK, so we had our appointment this morning and when she went to listen to the heartbeat, she couldn't find it. She checked and checked and checked and kept shaking her head. So so put it down and said she'd be right back. Of course I totally started crying and Bud was like, "Don't get too upset just yet". I was thinking, HELLO! She can't find the heartbeat. I was so worried and scared. She came back in with the ultrasound machine and proceed to look for the baby. For the first 15 seconds or so, she couldn't seem to find it. And of course it felt like an eternity. Then, there it was! We could see it's big ol' head and then you could totally see it's spin! It was so exciting. Once she had a good view, we were able to see the heart beating. So that was such a relief. She then tried to hear it again, but couldn't. So she looked at the ultrasound again and this time it was jumping around like crazy and waving it's arms and kicking it's legs. We were so excited! So here are the two pictures we have! Of course they aren't as good as the actual picture, but if you look closely you can see it!!! YAY!
Here is a top view of him/her. Those little dots are his/her legs and arms.

Look at that profile! He/she is so cute!

real wishes

OK, so as I read everyone's comments to my first visit post, I couldn't help but feel a lot better that I wasn't alone on that. But also, I just want to make it known that I never meant to sound as if all I wanted was a bunch of ultrasounds. Ultimately all I really want is a healthy baby/babies. I've been so lucky with this pregnancy so far: no sickness, no major mood swings...nothing! It's been great! So of course I hope and pray it just stays that way and stays healthy! I was just a little put off because I was just under the impression that most people normally have more. So now I feel better knowing that it's normal. At least I get to hear the heartbeat and know he/she/they are doing well!!! Thank you everyone!

boy? girl? twins?

OK, so I thought it would be fun to see what everyone thought. I've posted a poll to the right. What do you think we'll be having? Go vote!

My first visit

OK, so I had my first prenatal visit this morning. I was seen by the Doctor today, but I will on Friday. All we did this morning was do a bunch of paperwork and blood tests. Fun! I'm kinda feeling a little apprehensive about how Medi-cal does their insurance. THEY ONLY COVER ONE ULTRASOUND THE ENTIRE PREGNANCY!!! Does anyone else find this to be really strange? I kind of free put off by it. They only way they will do more is if there is something wrong. I though that was something they did quite often. Am I wrong? Or is this totally lame. I'm having a hard time today because I keep thinking that when all of this is over, I know I'll have a beautiful baby that I'll love, but having an ultrasound was something I was really looking forward to enjoying in my pregnancy. Now I feel like I might not enjoy it as much. I could just be feeling emotional, but thinking about seeing my unborn baby on a screen every once in a while sounds so great to me, and now that I know I'll only get one kinda bums be out. I'll see a doctor on Friday where I will hopefully hear the heartbeat, which is great! But does anyone have any uplifting words for me? Am I wrong or maybe confused? I'm just really feeling down about this right now. Stupid government!!! It's all their fault! If it was for them, the economy wouldn't be the way it is right now and we would still have jobs and I would have real insurance! Maybe next pregnancy.

Bring on the cravings!

It has begun. The cravings have started. As I sat on my couch today, I started to get this funny feeling and I felt I needed something, but I didn't know what it was. So I continued to sit there and it hit me. FRENCH FRIES! Not at all the healthiest thing, but who ever has healthy pregnancy cravings? So with us being on such a tight budget, I didn't know what to do. Once I figured out what it was that I was craving, it began to get worse. I NEEDED it! It was a must. I started to passe a little figuring out what to do, when my husband through out an awesome idea! I think he was being sarcastic, but I was totally on board. I was going to make home made french fries! So I began right away! As I began to peel potatoes, it dawned on me that I could totally work at In and Out! I won't, but I was making fries just like them.
So I sliced them all up...

Fried em' up! Yes I know, again, not the healthiest thing, but it had to be real, not imitation baked fries, no no...

Finally, just a smidgen of sea salt and I was good to go. YUMMY!!!!
