This first part is for my "favorite" brother-in-law, Jason (and anyone else that doesn't like details): Dr. officially choosing 7/27 as due date; everything looks good; we'll find out what the gender is March 12. :)
As you've just read, my doctor is officially choosing July 27 as the due date because it was over a week off of the other date. She says that everything looks good, and all of the blood tests that I had last time came back fine. Unfortunately for Ryan, I'm not immune to toxoplasmosis so cleaning the kitty litter is officially his job until the end of July (he's been having to do it since I found out at my last appt. that I definitely shouldn't be exposed to it and he doesn't like it!).
I have set up the date for my next sonogram (the one where I get to find out what it is!!) on March 12. I might explode with anticipation before then, but at least I have a real date!! Also, we got to have an impromtu sonogram today in the doctor's office, on sort of a "mini" sonogram machine (it sorta looked like a laptop!). She was using whatever the thing is to listen to the baby's heartbeat. She tried for a few minutes, and then said she'd do it again after she finished the rest of the examination. So, she tries again and still couldn't get the heartbeat (apparently we have a stubborn child!!) so she had the nurse go get their sonogram machine. The cool thing about having this sonogram was that the baby actually looks like a baby now!! It's progressed from a grain of rice! She was able to show us the head and body (and where the heart was beating...so everything's fine!) which was so neat!!
I'm now 12 weeks along and things are still going great! :) Next appointment is February 13. :)

About Me
- Janette
- I've been a wife for over seven years, a mommy of one for 2 and a half years, and a mommy of two as of 12/28/10! :) I married Ryan on July 26, 2003. We always said we wanted to have kids sometime around our fifth anniversary. The closer that time came, the more we started thinking we still needed another year. However, God held us to our original plan because Karys Elizabeth was born July 30, 2008...4 days after our 5th anniversary. :) I quit my job teaching kindergarten to take on the much more rewarding "career" of stay-at-home mom. There are some days that are hard, but I love it just the same. God surprised us again in May 2010 when we found out we were having baby #2. I went through the entire pregnancy expecting him to go past his January 9, 2011 due date since his sister was overdue. However, Zane Elliott surprised us by making his debut on December 28, 2010, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Now that we have "one of each" we could be "done" with our family, but hopefully that won't be the case. :)

Wow. I'm so glad everything looks good. Don't you just LOVE having Dr. appointments? I don't think I've ever looked forward to going to the doctor as much as when I'm pregnant. So we're just 6 weeks apart. We couldn't have planned that better if we tried. :)
Glad to hear everything is going smoothly for little Dwight! I know it was great to 'see and hear'. I'm happy for you guys! See you Sunday!
I am so glad you finally got to see the doc and the baby again. Seeing the baby and hearing the heartbeat are so reassuring for mom's. I can't wait to see you pregnant when I come there in Feb.
