14 Weeks!

I'm fourteen weeks pregnant today!

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 14 Weeks!

Size of baby: Baby Pollock is the size of a lemon!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Couple pounds maybe?
Maternity Clothes: All regular clothes, although they are getting tight!
Gender: Can't wait to find out! Should know on February 17th. My prediction: girl. :)
Movement: Just flutters.
Sleep: I am sleeping better now!
What I miss: Nothing really - maybe sleeping on my stomach? And just being "normal". Being pregnant hasn't really sunk in yet.
Cravings: Pizza, chocolate, mexican food, cheeseburgers! I'm ALWAYS hungry!
Symptoms: Tired, restless, and hungry...all the time. And I get annoyed really easily.
Best Moment this week: Making announcements for when we find our the gender of our baby. Can't wait to see which one we'll get to use!

No picture today, yet.

Announcing Chaseton or McKinsley?

Since our first ultrasound is coming up on February 17th, I thought I would get busy making cute announcements to share with our family and friends when we find out the gender of our third baby. Matt and I have had our names picked out for awhile now. The more children we have, the easier it seems to be to agree on our most favorite names. Here they are:

Chaseton was actually a name that Matt told me he wanted to name his first son when we were dating. I can't imagine naming him anything other than that. And Matthew is obviously after his daddy.

McKinsley will be called Kinsley. Caroline is a name that Matt actually picked for Finlee that I turned down. I love it now.

Before I give them away, I'm going to add our sweet babies first photograph to it. My prediction is still a girl, but we will see in five weeks or so! What do you think it will be? Enjoy!

13 Weeks!

I'm thirteen weeks pregnant today!
I've had quite a day so I haven't had a chance to take a picture yet. This soon will come.

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 13 Weeks
Size of baby: Baby Pollock is the size of a medium shrimp!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I haven't kept track. :) Only a pound or two, I'm sure.

Maternity Clothes: All regular clothes, although they are getting tight!

Gender: Can't wait to find out! Should know on February 17th. My prediction: girl. :)

Movement: Just flutters.
Sleep: I don't sleep well and haven't been since I found out I was preggo.

What I miss: Nothing really - maybe sleeping on my stomach?

Cravings: Pizza, pizza, and more pizza and as weird as it is, tuna. I can't really have tuna but for some reason I'm craving tuna.

Symptoms: Just tired, all the time. And I get annoyed really easily.

Best Moment this week: Hearing the heartbeat again. :) I went to the doctor today and it was at 158.

I want to ask for your prayers tomorrow. I have had many, many issues with cysts. I have had many procedures to have them removed and another one has come along. Tomorrow I will be having another in-office procedure. It can be pretty scary so I just please ask for your prayers.

Christmas Announcement

A few days ago, I showed you all our Christmas card but left another part of our Christmas card out of it. Here is part two:

{Guess what? We're going to be BIG sisters! Pollock-made delivery coming Summer 2011. Mommy's expecting and we're excited and we hope you are too! Love, Jae & Fin}

That's right, Baby Pollock number three is on the way! We are excited!

I had my first appointment today and everything seemed to go well. I am 11 weeks along and due July 13, 2011-the day of my Grandpa and cousin Candi's birthday. We heard the heartbeat and it was at 150 which is normal and good for a first appointment.

As she went over my blood work, I learned that my antibodies in my blood are still there. (I had this same issue with Finlee.) They will monitor my titer count and antibodies through a specialist and blood work, which means lots of ultrasounds! So not only will I see my phsycian regularly, but I will also see my specialist reguarly too. If you could just pray that my titer count stays low so that the baby won't be harmed, we would appreciate it.

Other than that, I visit my doctor in 2 weeks and my specialist first thing in February!

Merry Christmas!

Instead of mailing our Christmas cards this year, I decided to save some postage and hand most of them out along with the few gifts that we are giving. I thought I would share for those of you that we won't see until just after Christmas.

Wishing you a warm and joyful Christmas season!

Family Update

I've been away from the blogging world for quite some time. With the holidays and school and family, we have been busy. I'm happy to say that things are finally slowing down and I'm getting back to the hobbies I love, which includes blogging!

In November, I ended up getting very sick. I was miserable for about a week so Matt took me to the emergency room where I found out that I had a blood infection, the beginnings of pneumonia, and was very dehydrated. After a series of tests and x-rays and fluids and medicine, I was thankfully sent home and with some much needed rest, I've finally been able to recover fully and I am so thankful for all of the help from both my mom and my mama Pollock and especially my amazing husband.

For Thanksgiving, we stayed home as a little family of four. We made a small dinner and watched Christmas movies all day long. We had a great time and are so thankful for the little family that we have been blessed with.

As of now, Matt and I are both finished with school for the semester, we're spending time with our precious darlings-who happen to be growing too fast, and are really just enjoying all of the extra free time that we have together.

We can't wait to spend time with our families over the holiday season and are ready to celebrate the reason for the season!

We hope you all have a Merry Christmas...I will write again soon!

Xoxo,
Tanna
