Lots of BLUE!




ITS A BOY!

We told our family with cupcakes! After our appointment I called the bakery and ordered cupcakes with blue filling and we told our families with cupcakes they had to take a bite out of the cupcake to see what we were having. It was really cute. Except our appt was in Ft Worth and I couldn't tell my mom until we got home so she was texting and calling non-stop trying to get hints on what it was. We were strong and told her No! She didn't like that too much but it was a fun way to tell everyone.







Now I dont feel too guilty for buying all those boy clothes before we actually knew it was a boy. I just had a feeling. I think his name will be Timothy Tannyn Polk. He will go by Tannyn. Unless I come across a name I like better along the way but I for now we are calling him Tannyn. Kamryn is so excited she talks to my belly all the time.Its so adorable!
The doctor visit in Ft worth went very well, everything is perfect with the baby. Growing above average, I hope that doesn't mean I will have a huge baby. We go back to Ft Worth in 4 wks for another sono and check up. The heart rate was in the 160's and very strong. We got a DVD on the sonogram, that I'm going to try and play with and see if I can get it on the computer. It was really cute he waved and was moving all around it was really cute.






Its a BOY!

We went to the doctor yesterday and confirmed it is a boy! Yay! We are thrilled and better yet everything is perfect on that sweet boy! We go back in 4 weeks for another check up and sono in Ft worth just to check everything. I will post some pics soon. For now I gotta get to work!

16 weeks

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things since the holidays. Ive been so lazy lately, its cold outside and kamryn and I would much rather hang around the house than get out in this cold. I'm so ready for the warm weather again. Ive been working at home mostly for the time being. The studio is slow now, so I'm working on files that I haven't had time to get to during our busy time. We will start getting busy again in a month or so, so I'm taking advantage of our slow period to rest a little and get things done. Once March comes we will be so busy I wont be able to look up again until the baby's here.



Ive been feeling great besides being a little tired. I cannot wait to find out the sex of the baby. Kamryn was so cute yesterday we started talking about the new baby and then she said she wanted to sing to the baby. She sang "twinkle,twinkle little star" It was so very cute!



Well, I'm officially 16 weeks! I cannot believe it..These past 16 weeks have flown by and we are so excited for our new little addition to the family.



How far along? 16 weeks
Total weight gain: lost 5 pounds
Food cravings: Ice Cream, nerds
Sleep: not great, just cannot get comfortable
Movement: Lots of flutters, first kick
Maternity clothes: Most definitely
Best moment this week: kamryn singing to the baby
Gender: still thinking boy
What I'm looking forward to: Finding out for sure if the baby is a he/ or she
Milestones: 1st kick



From the baby center: Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now,hes now the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.

Dr Appt:

Well I had my 15 week doctor appt on Tuesday and all is good with the baby. The heartbeat this time was 150 so who knows..I'm still thinking boy. I go back next Tuesday for blood work and then we will schedule my appt for Ft Worth. They think probably the end of January. I have to be at least 18 wks before I can go.We will find out what the baby is then. I cant wait! I wish I knew someone who does sono's so we could find out sooner.

My hubby had a big interview yesterday for a really good job promotion.I'm just praying long and hard for this to work out. It would help us out financially so much and with a new baby on the way it would help tremendously! Ive been hoping and praying for this..We should find out soon.

Last night Kamryn got a hold of the scissors and cut a big chunk out of her hair! I LOVE her long hair I'm not sure what we will do. I'm hoping to get her in to my hair stylist today or tomorrow and see what they think.

15 weeks!

15 weeks!


How far along? 15 weeks
Total weight gain: lost 5 pounds- don't know how?
Food cravings: pickles, bacon and salty pretzels
Sleep: pretty good besides a little girl in our bed most nights keeping me up.
Movement: Lots of flutters
Maternity clothes: only one pair of jeans fit, I got all my maternity clothes out from when I was pregnant with Kamryn and fitting into most of those.
Best moment this week: hearing the baby's heart beating/kamryn saying she loves her brother/sister
Gender: still thinking boy
What I'm looking forward to: Finding out for sure if the baby is a he/ or she
Milestones: the baby is growing and is big as an apple.

From the baby center:Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). He is busy moving amniotic fluid through his nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in his lungs begin to develop. His legs are growing longer than his arms now, and he can move all of his joints and limbs. Although his eyelids are still fused shut, he can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, he’s likely to move away from the beam. There’s not much for your baby to taste at this point, but he is forming taste buds”.

1st baby item

Well, Ive been really strong not to buy anything for the new baby yet? Considering I don't know what it is. I just have a feeling its a boy. Well, my weakness kicked in the other day I started looking at baby clothes. I bought a couple of things. One, a Christmas outfit that was on sale super cheap and one a little boy outfit (I kept the receipt if it turns out a girl)
