One tiny baby!

That's right...there is one baby in there! We were so excited to see the ultrasound and our baby. It is amazing and there are no words that can describe the feeling you have when you see what you have created actually growing inside you. The cougar was laying on his/her side the whole time. The x-ray tech would try to wake the baby up or try to move him/her, but no luck. Cougar would stretch the little arms and legs he/she has and would go back to sleep. It was actually pretty cute. The x-ray tech had me get up, jump up and down, stretch, touch my toes to see if we could get the baby to move. No such luck. All that did was give the cougar the hiccups!!! It was so funny to watch. The whole little body would jump with each and every hiccup. It was so fun to watch. They gave us a DVD, but I cannot get it to work to post it on here. So, that will have to wait. But, here are some pictures of the little one.
We will have another ultrasound in about four or five weeks to find out if we are having a little Jason or a little Lynda!!! We cannot wait. Jason can barely contain himself. Before the ultrasound I thought it was a girl. But now, I keep calling the baby a him...look at his hand, look at him move. So, now I have NO idea! I know some mom's have a feeling...I have no clue. Some days I think it's a girl and some I think it might be a boy. So, only time will tell and the next ultrasound! I will keep you updated on that for sure! As for me...well, I've been feeling better. Not 100%, but I'm not sure I will for a while. I have my good days and my bad days. Some days I feel great, and some I feel nauseous all day still! I always get sick, good or bad day, around 7:30 or 8:00 every day. So, I'm thinking that's when the little cougar will some day make his/her appearance. We'll just have to wait and see! So look at the pictures, and take your guess...boy or girl???!!!

The Heartbeat!

Jason and I had our 12week appointment this past Friday. The Doctor said that everything looked good and then we finally got to hear the heartbeat! It was pretty amazing. Jason never fails to make me laugh when we are in the OBs office! While Dr. Damore had the doppler on my belly, Jason had to say..."Wow, it sounds pretty windy in there!" He's too funny, and that's why I love him! I cannot explain the feelings when you hear your baby's heartbeat for the first time! So, everyone is asking...there was only ONE heartbeat??? Well, yes...only one. BUT...the doctor said that even if there were two (or three, let's hope not!) that she would only hear one, because the baby is so small that it would be pretty difficult to decipher if it was only one beat or two. So, we wait again! But, wednesday is our first ultrasound...two days!!! We are so excited, and a little nervous. Working where I work, it's hard not to be nervous...I know too much! But, I cannot wait to see our little baby for the first time. I will update on Wednesday...with pictures!!!

Two more weeks!

So, just an update on how things are going! I've been sick, and some days are good, some not so good! I'm hoping this only lasts another two weeks, and then I will be feeling better...hopefully! In two weeks, we also get to go to the doctor and have our first ultrasound! YEAH! We are so excited! My mom still thinks it's twins, I just think it's one...but I'm leaning towards a girl, right now anyway! All I want to eat is fruit! I also am starting to show...already! I know, everyone says...no, you're just bloated or you can't be showing yet...well tell that to the baby, cause when I show people, they say...wow, you are showing! Crazy!

Also, we have started calling the baby Cougar, until we know what it is...why??? Well, Jason thinks Cougar is a tough name, and we were listening to a John Cougar Mellencamp song and he asked if we could have part of the baby's name be cougar...I immediatley said NO! He then said if we did, when it grows up and plays golf....it could be the Cougar against the Tiger!!! My husband is crazy! Anyways, as a result, the baby is Cougar, until we know what it is and we give it a name. Although, Jason still is trying to convince me to have the middle name be Cougar if it's a boy...oh man! I'll update again for sure in two weeks after the ultrasound!

Memories!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Since this is our family blog, feel free to leave a memory about any of the four of us.

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Big Changes!

So, it's finally happened (for everyone who was waiting)...we are pregnant!!! We are so very excited for this new change in our lives. We found out about a month ago, but wanted to wait until we had our first appointment to say anything. Well, we had our first appointment this past Thursday, and she said everything looks good so far! I'm almost 9 weeks. I have been feeling sick at times, but I know that it is all worth it in the end. Jason has really been reading about pregnancy, and knows everything! He tells me what is normal, what's not normal, what I should eat, what I shouldn't eat, and much more! He is going to be a great dad. He is so excited and can hardly wait! We had only been trying about two months when we found out the good news. Jason was golfing when I took the test, and I had to hold it in for 6 hours!!! It was hard! We bought shirts that say "mommy to be" and "dad to be" and wore them over to our parents house! Both of our families are also very excited for this new change as well. My mom cried for at least ten minutes! She was just happy that I didn't have trouble getting pregnant like she did. I have to admit, it was a relief for me too. My mom swears up and down it's twins. For those of you who don't know, my dad is a twin, and for the past five generations...there have been twins. There is no skipping generations in my family! So, while it's a possiblity, I'm just not sure...but she is. We have our first ultrasound in about three weeks. I will keep you all updated! We can't wait!

The animals

So...we don't have kids to write about yet...so our kids are our pets! I have learned from them though, that you can teach them to do what you want....and sometimes, they will just do what they want...Rosco in the trash and Dude in the laundry bag!

Recently...

I haven't updated everyone in a while...sorry, I'm still new to this blogging thing! So, on June 9th, Jason turned 26!!! It was fun, we got to hang out with some friends and family, and we had a good time! Oh yeah, and we bought a new TV...yeah!!! Our first big screen. 50inch plasma...and I love it! As Jason said...we might never leave the house again! ;-) Oh, and Jason plays football for the Phoenix Thunder (Fire department and police) and they played in their national game against NYFD. Unfortunately, they didn't win (even though they should have!), but they gave it great effort, and Jason played really well!
