17 weeks

So this week has been fun... the next couple of weeks are going to be interesting. This week its my ultrasound, then next weeks going to be Ryan's graduation and then the weeks after that he gets his gallbladder removed... lots and lots of fun.

I've been feeling the baby move every once and a while not a constant thing. It went crazy the other day when I ate chicken wings. I came to the conclusion chicken wings makes it hyper... It still enjoys going into places that really aren't comfortable and then stays there for hours at a time... it tends to happen while I'm at work which makes work oh so much more fun.

I've been thinking about baby showers a lot now that I went to one... I was also had the thought that I'm going to buy a Halloween costume around October for the wee little size and then once the baby comes to take a picture of it... I'm sorry but a little dragon picture would be sooo cute!!!

16 weeks

I found out at my last doctors appointment that because my husband has md in the family I get to get my big ultrasound at 18 weeks to find out what we are having instead of 20 weeks like everyone else. I get my ultrasound on September 2nd which is a Thursday morning. I'm looking forward to it, but then again who wouldn't?

I've been doing pretty good lately. I can certainly feel my uterus... there are times that I swear I feel a heel running down the lower part of me. Its weird... but then again I might be crazy but the book says I can feel movement this early so I could also be right.

I ate bad soup Saturday night while I was working. Don't eat fresh and easy fresh clam chowder, ever since I've had some pretty annoying stomach issues. My stomach bloated pretty bad and puffed out, then there was the other fun stuff... So With my stomach protruding the most I've ever seen it I took my 16 week picture. My pants still mostly fit but I don't like the feeling of tight pants anymore, but strangely my work pants still fit fine... I think its because they sit so low on the hips so my stomach doesn't really get in the way. I don't know if my bloat will stay for good or if it will go away for a while...

Other than that my pregnancy is going great. I'm full of energy, I'm not sick, and half the time if I'm not bending or trying to stand up from sitting I forget that I'm pregnant which is kind of weird lol... it took me three years and its a really nice time, it just seems to be going too fast!!!

Bella

Well yesterday was a sad day. My mom got home from work yesterday and found Bella floating in the pool. She tried to save him and try to revive him but he was in there for a while. I feel so bad for my mom. She just jumped in fully dressed and tried to help him. I haven't heard my mom so upset in a very long time. He's tried to do this before but Keith found him before... you think he would have learned from the last time but I guess not. I think he was my shortest pet besides like fish... I only had him for a year and a half. Now Bella is in the backyard right next to Kaytee...

12 weeks

(yes very bad very unflattering picture when I was right off of work) Well I went into my 12 week check up yesterday. My blood pressure is down (it was a smidge high at 8 weeks) I found out my blood work is still perfect and I'm ab positive (I'm actually excited about this fact... I can get blood from everyone! It wont be an issue) I haven't gained weight from my last check up, and the five pounds I have gained is because I rediscovered how much I love ice cream. I have been craving things but I've discovered that if I have them then I wont become obsessed with them... like I did with raviolis for about six months. I'm excited that I'm out of the dreaded first trimester. I haven't gotten sick in about two weeks which makes me extremely happy. I'm not so tired anymore, still tired but I'm not going into comas for hours at a time and having my lovely husband sneaking pictures of me sleeping... in which case I feel asleep like this almost every day... glasses and all.

I do believe my next ultrasound is going to be my 20 week anatomical ultrasound. At that point we will be finding out what we are having. I always want to have another ultrasound. Its always neat to see whats going on.

This pregnancy is going all too fast for me... its crazy I'm already one third of the way done! The next six months better go slower or else I might go crazy....

Baby Bischoff

Well it took us three years, a LOT of tests (a lot of which really weren't that pleasant and made it so I couldn't walk for a few days) and a lot of stupid questions of little old women in my ward but I would officially like to announce that Ryan and I are pregnant. 8 weeks to be exact and I cant believe I didn't blab it over the entire Internet the first day I found out. I am due January 30th so it could go on either Ryan's birthday January 21st or my birthday February 2nd... I'm just glad I'm not going to be big and pregnant in the middle of summer. I'm sick... All the time. I've known since the week the child was created that I was pregnant because I could SMELL everything and thus made me sick. I'm trying different things to try to help but its something I just have to stick through. Work is hard because working in between three nursing homes every one smells like nasty B.o ... Lets hope for every ones sake that the world keeps going in a happy place and the sickness will be over soon!!! I'm a little worried about my knees hurting towards the end but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I'm not moody, but I do like weird food at this point and become fixated on it... like last Friday all I wanted was Grandma's chicken noodle soup and flaming hot Cheetos... life is great!!! Ryan has a job and will be graduating come September

Blogging

I will actually start blogging here very soon... I actually have stuff people might want to read about but I haven't found a good way to compile it all... Give me a month or so

Forever Family

Yes I know I'm a very slow blogger. Ryan and I had a very sad trip to Utah a few weeks ago. My cousin Jeffery's baby died of sids. As soon as Ryan and I found out we rearranged our schedules and drove to Utah. We stayed with my cousin Jeremy, his wonderful wife Nichole, and fabulous child Owenater!!! I love staying with them. Hotel Hamilton has a fabulous safari room!

The funeral was like something I had ever been to. Baby funerals are extremely sad. I am grateful that I have the church in our lives to know that familys can be together forever.



We had a blast with Owen. Ryan and him seemed like they had a lot of fun together. Yes I snuck a picture of them bumping hands in the back seat of the car.
We stopped by Nichole's Grandmas house to see gobble the turkey and Rambo the sheep. Must admit I've never seen a sheep so close before... They kinda smell but yet are cute at the same time.
Ryan and I felt like we needed to help in some way. So he went with Jer with my Uncle David and helped them move my cousins apartment. So we crawled under my cousins Jer's house and stacked everything up. If it helps it helps.
Ryan and I are very looking forward to the holidays. We are going to Ely for thanksgiving. I'm very much looking forward to taking the whole week off. Ryan and I need to find a way to go to Utah more often. Its nice to be around family.
