Doctor Visit and Wisconsin trip!

Well went to the doctor and I got to hear the heartbeat. I was a bit sad because Cory wasnt there to hear it but he will be next appointment which is June 17th and we will get to find out what we're having... hmmm.. Boy or Girl what do you think? everyone is telling me we are having a boy.. but I'm not sure. Deep down my "motherly instinct" says boy too! Anyways... the Dr measured me and he said that now im measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule so now im actually coming into 18 weeks. I can't believe that i'm almost 1/2 way done with this pregnancy. Cory and I took a mini vacation to Wisconsin to see my family and both of our friends. We left Wednesday evening and flew up there. We just got back today (Monday). It was alot of fun to see everyone again... I'll attach a few pictures! It was very nice to be up there and not be doing anything related to the wedding. Very relaxing which was good! We took a couple walks on the Green Circle trail which is a hiking/biking trail that goes around Stevens Point. many many pics from that... hung out with Amy and Jeremy at Pete's and played darts... ate at many good places. It was a good trip... We even looked for Job's up there because with Cory's job at Cessna he's on his layoff notice right now and that will go til June 19th... Then he's out of there... We can not find him a job in Hutch or Wichita (Proally because Wichtia is getting so hard hit with layoffs). So, we looked for jobs up north and applied at several... We'll see if he gets a call this week... if so we may be heading back up to Wisconsin which is fine by me! Just a waiting game now.... Here's some pics from the trip:

this is us eating at Harbor Bar right on the water...

Not too far from my mom's house... Wisconsin River and Kayaks

Us at Iverson Park How pretty!

3 Days til Vacation/ 15 weeks along!

Not much to update just thought I'd post something on here. Let's see... we are heading home on wednesday to Wisconsin for a long weekend vacation it will be nice to be home and see some friends. :) It will also be nice to be up there and not do anything related to the wedding! Phew! I'm 15 weeks along now... says the baby is about the size of an apple! Getting more and more exciting! Have a doctor appointment this week before we leave for vacation and hopefully hear the heartbeat since we didnt hear it last time due to being 11 weeks so Dr said I was just a little too small yet to hear anything but this time we should hear it! I'm still feeling tired quite a bit but have realized I do have more energy during the day while at work now so thats good. here's the baby update from baby center this week: 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). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.") Happy Memorial day everyone!! Next time I blog it will be either in Wisconsin or about our trip!! :)

GOING HOME!!!

Well its official we are heading home to Wisconsin May 20-25! I'm sooo excited... We have not been back since our wedding back in August! That was way to long ago!! It's time to go back and I kept begging Cory that we need to go back before I cant travel anymore due to pregnancy... So we deicded might as well go for a long weekend. So we cancelled our camping trip and bought plane tickets and leaving wedesnday may 20th after work and heading back memorial day monday. I cant wait. I dont know what we are going to do while we are up there... but I dont care as long as I'm back in my hometown again.. I could sit on my butt the whole time but I dont think that will be happening. I cant wait to see all my friends and Cory's group of friends up there are getting together a cookout thing for us to see everyone which will be fun!! The time will go fast but it will be worth it. I'm not sure when we'll be able to go back up North... epseically with the baby coming... Since Baby's First Christmas will be down here and then hoepfully next summer we can head up there... since i'll have 2 weeks of vacation by then!! My plan right now is im taking the normal 6 weeks off of work and then im going to go back part time working only Monday/Tuesday/ and 1/2 of wednesdays for 6 weeks. That will get me through Febraury So that will be nice!! Thats about it for now... We are not camping this weekend either due to the weather is going to be raining all weekend off and on. So we will be home not sure what we are going to do... Oh well.. Hope all is well with everyone!!
