Remember?

This is me getting ready for our wedding.

This is Sept 07 at Brandon's Wedding.

This is in Feb 08, not long after we found out we were expecting a little one.

Then this is Father's Day.. Kelly and I's first professional photos together.

Here I am trying to feed Mattie her first PB and J.. Around 6 months pregnant.

Me and Lindsey at my friend's baby shower.. I was around 6 months again.


Mattie's Halloween outfit.. This is the back of it.. SOOOO cute.. I just hope she can fit into it.

Results..

So, today we found out the results and they were negative!! Just like I thought!! We will talk to my oncologist more tomorrow to see what they are going to do with teh lump still left in there. I'd like for them to take it out so that it is gone and I don't have to worry about it growing or anything, but we will talk to the doctor to see what they say...

I finally took some pictures that are more than just the belly.. I look wonderfully tired, as usual, but you can really tell that I am a pregnant chick! That's why I took them. There is no hiding it now.. But of course I only have a few weeks left to enjoy it.

Not so bad..

So, the biopsy itself wasn't so bad. They numbed me up and then I didn't feel anything.. The worst part was being able to see the screen of the ultrasound so I could see exactly what they were doing.. Which was neat at the time, but a litte gruesome now that I think back. I won't go into details as I'm sure no one really wants to know, I know I didn't. Going in semi blind was a-ok by me. Now we are playing the waiting game. They said 48 to 72 hours, so Friday would have been 48 hours, so I'm guessing either Monday I will get a call or they might just wait until I go into the doctor on Wednesday.

Anyway, as I was saying the biopsy wasn't so bad. But the pain afterwards sucked.. I was supposed to keep ice on it for 30 minutes then 30 off, 30 on... you get the idea. But I went to lunch with my mom instead so I missed part of that and by the time I got home I went straight to bed as I had to be back up in a few hours to go to work. I put a baggie that zip locked closed with a little ice in it in my sports bra to keep the soreness down. Well, I woke up to the whole front of my sports bra wet, the sheets wet, the pillow I was laying with was wet and the bed itself was wet.. Nice, huh? But I was so tired I simply took the ice (now water) pack out and went back to bed. Yesterday I got tired of the itchy steristrips they put on it and I pulled them off. They were ready though, they came off really easy. But now I can see the full damage they did.. And of course I took a picture cause that way I will always remember.. As you see I have a pretty bruise, but it looks to be almost all gone and that little red spot is where they made a little cut to go in through.. And I had a bandaid on it at work so you can see what that did as well..

See now aren't you glad you know me? I can prep you for all this fun stuff :)

Well, Tuesday I go to my oncologist, although I doubt he'll know anything since he is at a different hospital than the doc that had the biospy done. But he is doing a check up for the military ( I have to get it done every 1 1/2 yrs) to keep my benefits through them.

Then Wednesday we are going back to the OB, who will have the results of the biopsy. I'm hoping they call me on Monday, but if they don't oh well.. Although, if it is bad news would they call me on Monday or just wait till I'm there in person??? Or are they going to wait till Wednesday no matter what since I'll be coming in anyway?? See I got all sorts of questions about this crap.. Kelly says I worry too much. I think I worry just right. :)

Anyway, I'm hoping that at the doctor we can discuss possibly inducing me so that Kelly and I have a set date to have everything ready. And I want to know how they are going to know that baby is head down and not too big if they won't do any more ultrasounds.. That's what they told us last time, that we are only suppose to get one ultrasound and that was at 18 weeks.

Well, I am going to get off to bed so I can rest my big ol' pregnant body before having to work again tonight.. UGH.. I have to work by myself. It's cute because it's almost like my bosses don't remember that I am PREGNANT! And walking that much can induce labor, which I'm not worried about right now, but if they are planning on keeping the schedule the same then they are going to be upset when I have to leave in the middle of the night because I walked myself into labor.. :) But we will see.. Just cause I don't have a big huge belly like some people, doesn't mean that I don't feel it just as much as they do.

Oh yeah, Kelly and I went to our first baby class and it was interesting. Everyone there was due around the same time that I am and all of them had big HUGE round bellies.. I was a litte jealous. But all and all we made it through and possibly even learned a few things..

Baby is getting bigger and her movements are getting a lot stronger. I will take another picture on Monday, I think I am starting to get that little line down the belly.. Maybe it is all just my hairy belly... LOL.. :)

Look at Mattie's Growth

I do have some updates to post. A few weeks ago I found a lump on my left breast. I brought it up at our doctor visit on Wednesday. They felt it and decided that I needed to get an ultrasound to get a better look at it. Thursday I went and had the ultrasound done. And now we are getting a biopsy done on Wednesday. Now, there is no need for anyone to worry. It is a tissue mass. Not a clogged milk duct or fluid filled cyst. But they think it looks like a non-cancerous tissue mass. So, Wednesday we are going to get the biopsy and the following Tuesday I see my Oncologist (cancer doc) and Wednesday I see the OB again. So, now we play the waiting game again.

As you see, I have put together a slide of the belly growth as I can't believe just how big it has gotten in the last few weeks. I am very very excited to meet my little girl, especially now as I feel her move around a lot and the movements are stronger. The other day it felt like she was sticking her elbow (or maybe a knee) out and I could feel the whole arm or leg when I touched it with my hand, it was weird.

We also bought a special bag for Mattie.. I'll have to get a picture up on here. It is just a diaper bag from Pottery Barn Kids, but it has her intials on it so I think it is extra special.

Kelly and I have started putting together our hospital bag. The last week or two I have been buying little things for the stay and Kelly pulled out a bag. He put everything in its own little compartments and even put tags on each section of the bag that states what goes in it so we won't have to dig around to find things when we are in the hospital. And I got our diaper bag all ready too. Now all we need is to find the take-home outfit for Mattie and I think the diaper bag will be ready. We still have to put an extra set of clothes for Kelly and clothes for me to wear home as I doubt that I will fit into the outfit I am going to wear to the hospital.. It's exciting and nerve racking as well. Time is flying by, but I guess that is a good thing. The only bad part of being pregnant for me right now is not being able to get comfortable to sleep, but we've got the pillow thing down so that doesn't bother me so much anymore. And my feet hurt really bad when I'm at work, but we bought some ace bandages to wrap them up to help support my ankles and arches when I'm on my feet all night.

Boring..

Well, not much has been changing for Kelly and I the last couple days. Just working and sleeping. We go to the doctor on Wednesday so maybe that'll be exciting. We are starting our birth classes next week so that's going to be exciting. Except they moved our Labor/Birth classes from last week to the end of September.. Which will be interesting. I hate waiting that long because what if baby comes early and we end up not even going? Oh well..

I got a picture from one of my friends of her neice who is two weeks farther along than I am. Kelly and I were looking at the picture of her belly and I said 'My belly's not even close to that big!' Then Kelly made me get up so he could take a picture and we could do a side by side comparison. It was really funny because he MADE me do it! And then he would run from the computer to me and back again to make sure we were in the same position.. So now I have a picture far enough away to see my face... And I look tired as all heck but you can definetly see the baby bump now. :)

Baby Shower.. Done

Here is the last picture we got of the puppy before he went to a new home.. he was laying with all four paws out and belly flat on the ground.. it was so funny, but I couldn't get any closer without him moving.. He went home on Saturday with one of Rachael's good friends.

Well, we got through Kelly's Birthday. We did the baby shower/ Kelly's birthday party. In all of the pictures you can see just how tired I was.. I got 2 hours of sleep both Friday and Saturday.

We had a lot of fun at the parties though. We got a lot of the things that we needed for baby and a bunch of diapers. Kelly was reading to our neighbors little girl, she's 2.. it was so cute I had to get a picture and share.

We are 29 weeks now.. Only 11 to go..

I put a whole bunch more pictures up on the other website.. Just click on our wedding photo on the upper right side and it'll take you to all our pictures..
