22 Weeks!

Well one day late but I have been fighting a terrible head cold. I finally caved and went to the doctor yesterday and found out I had a sinus infection,laryngitis,bronchitis,and the beginnings of an ear infection. I didn't realize it was that bad, but the antibiotics have really helped and I think I will turn the corner tomorrow. I feel Emmy move a lot in my lower stomach mostly by my hips. She feels very sideways and doesn't show signs of moving that position anytime soon. She isn't big enough right now for it to bother me, but, I do get cramps if her head goes in the wrong area. We just bought a treadmill!!! I am so excited about it...I figure I can go on walks easier and get into shape sooner after the baby, without having to leave the house. Here is a picture of me at 22 weeks 6 days! I will write 23 weeks pretty soon.

21 Weeks-Natural Birth....

Little Emmy is kicking a lot more lately. I believe she is laying sideways across my stomach, she feels like she is in the same position as Makayla was, and she was sideways for a good seven months. I haven't gained any weight yet. With my girls I seem to get lucky, and not gain as much. I am thinking of doing a non epidural birth. I am not one to get all non drug or water birth kind of person. I believe firmly there is a reason for modern medicine. More than anything, I just want to see if I can do it. I almost just want to prove it to myself. I don't know how committed I am to the whole idea, I really wouldn't feel less like a woman warrior for getting an epidural...I am just curious. James isn't very supportive, as in he laughs every time I mention it. I hear you need to have a very supportive husband if you want to do it. But...as I get closer to delivery we will see how I feel. Here is me at 21 weeks 5 days.

20 Weeks

So it's official, we are adding another Girl to the Divis Clan! I was in total and complete shock. I really felt like this baby was definitley a boy! But as soon as I found out I was thrilled, and shocked. She looks so much like Sadie. She looked perfectly healthy and was very shy. Here are my ultrasound pictures.
Our official name for the baby is Emily Camille Divis. We had originally decided on another name, but as soon as James and I found out it was a girl, the name wasn't right. This is the name that popped into both our heads, so I know it is her name, I am so excited for our little Emily to get here, and I pretty much have everything from Sadie,so win-win.

19 Weeks

I am feeling the baby kick a lot at night now. We find out what we are having on Wednesday, I am so excited to find out. I have my idea now of what I think the baby is. I am pretty sure it is a boy, I would be a bit surprised if it wasn't. Either way, it's always my favorite day; finding out what we are having. I am always nervous for the ultrasound, just because of our history, but it will be nice to have James and the kids there this time. They are all so excited to find out what the baby will be, especially James Micheal. This week has been nice and busy, and I am glad I am half way done! The picture is of me at 19 weeks 5 Days, I have had a lot of growth this week, I am starting to really feel the baby moving up!

18 weeks

18 weeks has been nice and quiet. I am feeling this little one kick quite a bit now, mostly at night and when I eat chocolate!! My cravings have been jelly bellys, chocolate, and salt and vinegar chips. Nothing much else to report but my belly is getting huge now, people are really starting to notice now. It's funny the amount of stares I get when I am alone with three of the kids at the store. The funny thing is they have no idea I have one in school too. I love watching my family grow. It's definitely an adventure everyday! I took a picture at 18 weeks 6 days.

Week 17

I finally felt the baby kick this week. Very exciting to feel the first little movements of the babe. I got to go to the doctor this week and hear the heartbeat. I also set up my ultrasound to check everything and hopefully find out gender! I am so clueless with this baby. I did the chinese calender and it said girl. But...then I did the pendant test and it said boy. I usually like one of the names I have picked more than the other which kind of gives me a clue. But... I like both names equally this time. I really thought this was a boy because I was sick, but I have not been gaining weight like I do with the boys or craving things like I do with the boys. So....I am totally perplexed. I would actually prefer to have a boy, just to keep my pattern going, and because I know that having two girls 18 months apart will probably lead to lots of fighting. But, whatever we have will be welcomed and loved and just what we needed. Here is a picture of me at 17 weeks!

Week 16

Well, what to say... I had a hard time putting on my socks this morning. I still haven't felt any kicks yet, but I have a feeling the baby is in a very far back position, so I don't think I will them for awhile. We finally picked out our names for the baby. One boy and one girl name we finally both agreed on. I am happy and feeling good.
