NIGHTMARES!!!!!

Thanks everyone for responding how you have been .... Its so much fun.
So Rana wanted to know if I get nauseous by smells... not too bad really.
The other day Jody opened a can of ham and I about died. But is just depends.

Soooo... this blogs topic is Nightmares... I have been having the funkiest dreams.
Usually they are world ending nazi returning horrible type things but the last couple of nights
just weird.

Two nights ago I dreamt I went into labor and I called Kevin to come home and take me in.
He couldnt take a crew truck so I had to venture out into unmarked BLM land and try to find him. Sorry but unless your some sort of indian tracker its not so easy to find well locations. So I am driving around in the sage brush and finally have to just pull over to deliver. Mo of course is not happy just sitting in the car... so here is the kicker as I am giving birth in the sage brush and prairie land animals flood into help me.

Yes thats right I had a jack rabbit and an antelope assisting in my birth.

FREAKED ME OUT!!!!!

but oh well better than the nazis coming back and burning down Middleton. Yep thats happened.
So tell me all about your freaky dreams and weird phobias. This should be an extra exciting comment page.

Oh and HOLY COW i woke up one day last week and all of sudden there was a baby bump and a new stretch mark... I wasnt informed that your body could so easily mutate in one night but now I know. So pants dont fit and I look like I have been eating too many holiday yummies. But i love that I can tell Toad is growing.

Also figured out the names for sure... if a boy Daniel-Ian Cluff Green, girl... Fiona Jane Green...
Jane (Melissa Jane Whitehorn ) after an ancestor who was one tough mama :)

Love sent to you all.... Have a super fabulous Christmas & New Year

& HEIDI HAPPY BIRTHDAY (on sat) YOUR THE BEST !!!!! :)

14 Weeks!!!!

Angry Baby.......

So we have figured out that Toad is just like his/her mother and does not like Toady space to be invaded.

At the ultrasound when they pushed down around toad he went crazy and today at my appt did the same thing with the fetal heart monitor thingy... lots and lots of movement. It was so neat to hear and to hear the heart beat.. what a relief to hear it.

Wanted to say thanks for all the comments I get back on my blog... Heidi you crack me up!!! Its so nice to be able to share this with everyone and have them comment and be involved too.

So since I know people will comment back let try something fun... I want to know what everyones cravings were. So far I crave fruit flavored items ie: Black Forest Gummy Bears, fruit smoothies, juicy pear jelly bellies, that bubble gum that is striped like a zebra ( yes that stuff is still around with two flavor packs to choose from), and pineapple.

Other than that I dont really have cravings chocolate does really nothing for me these days.. which saddens me it has been such a very good friend to me. Seems like a betrayal when I look at it and feel nothing.

Oh well I am sure me and a box of butter rum caramels will makeup very nicely in the future.

So I am almost 14 weeks so that means 2nd trimester. YAY!!!!!! and I already am feeling so much better and have so much more energy than I did even a week ago.

Happy Days!!! and I got my very first clearanced (as that is the only way to buy) piece of maternity clothing at Target!! I am officially a shopper of maternity clothes for me WOW!!!!

Here is a pic of what Toad looks like right now.. according to the what to expect when your expecting crowd

So week 11... I need some advice!

OK so here is your chance to give me all your little hints and tips on how to deal with pregnancy....

I think I have the morning sickness thing down... I know what to do and what not to do to aggrivate. But I am having horrible leg cramps at night... so give it to me... what should I do for them?

Ok so week 11 the Lil Toad is (From what to expect when your expecting)

"Slightly more than two inches long now and weighing about a third of an ounce, your fetus is growing by leaps and bounds when you are 11 weeks pregnant. And so is his or her head, which is equal in length to the rest of the body (don't worry — all fetuses are top-heavy). On the crown of that large head (and over the rest of the body), hair follicles are forming. Fingernail and toenail beds begin to develop this week and by next week, the nails themselves will start to grow (so don't forget to add a baby nail clipper to your to-buy list).
Your baby's body is straightening and his or her torso is lengthening (sounds like a yoga pose, doesn't it?). Other poses your baby can assume now: stretches, somersaults, and forward rolls. And while you can't tell this baby's gender by its cover yet, testes are developing if it's a boy and ovaries if it's a girl. "

So I dont have more pictures of the baby but Jody got me hooked on digital scrapbooking so here are my first pages of Moira... its supposed to be a lil book... when you print it out and put it all together.

Love you all...

My First Ultrasound!!!

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!

Ok so we finally went to the Dr and got to have an ultrasound.. turns out the Baby Toad is measuring 9.5 weeks so they have changed my due date to June 7th.

For those of you who didnt know I was pregnant we were keeping it on the down low until we knew for sure everything was ok. We have waited 8 years for this so needless to say it is till feeling very surreal. But let me tell you what a relief to finally see our baby and here the little Toads heart beat.

Why am I calling it a BabyToad you may ask.... well we have a dear friend who refers to me as Toad so it just seemed to fit :) seeing as it looks like a lil polliwog.

I am feeling a lot better in regards to the whole morning sickness thing.. just super tired and a lil grumpy if I dont get protein. MY BABY TOAD NEEDS TO FEED:) LOL

Kevin and I are so excited and I think even Moira knows something special is going on. We have our names picked out (well first anyway) so depending on what toad turns out to be.

I just want to tell everyone that I am so thankful for the support we have had over the years and the positive encouragment we have been given in the baby department.

Though we never thought this would happen we are beyond thrilled that Moira will have a sibling... and that we will finally see what a combination of Kev and I will look like (Hopefully not too much of a mondo sized child)

We have decided I will be going home to deliver.... I am not about to go thru labor without my mom and sisters(oh and of course Kevin ;) )

So I will be going to stay with Mom towards the mid of April... will be so nice to share this with all my friends and family in Idaho.

Love You All,

Christin, Kevin, Moira & Baby Toad
