28 week check up and ultrasound

Hi y'all!

I'm a little behind on my blogging and catching up with my check up and ultrasound from 2 weeks ago.

At my ultrasound they checked to see if the tissue from my previous ultrasound had resolved. It appeared to have cleared which was great news! They also got multiple views of Haven's heart that they were unable to view at the last appointment. I loved getting another chance to see my sweet girl's profile!

Everything from the ultrasound looked good and the doctor says I was measuring right on track. Haven is measuring in the 57th percentile for weight.

I also had my glucose and iron test this week. My glucose screen came back normal but my iron was a litle low.

I'm so grateful all is going well so far this pregnancy. I couldn't be more blessed to have another healthy baby girl on the way!

Tomorrow I have my next appointment already at 31 weeks! This pregnancy is flying by.

Thanks for following along!

Ill be updating again soon with my appointment.

xox! Debbie

24 week check up!

Time for another update!

Monday September 12th I had my OB appointment. So far everything seems to be on track and baby's heartbeat sounded great. I've decided that I'm going to have another C-section for a number of reasons. I went ahead I got scheduled for December 23rd and few days before Christmas. My original  due date is December 29th and I really wanted for our baby girl to come before Christmas if possible. So unless our little miss decides to show up sooner we'll meet her on the 23rd.

I know these next couple months are gonna fly by! I'm trying soak up these last months spending time with Brielle Ann before her sister comes.

Thanks for the love and support!
Our next ultrasound is in 4 weeks and I'll update then unless something comes up.

Until then.. Happy Fall Y'all and have a blessed September.

Half way there!

Yesterday we had an appointment for Miss Haven Rose. It was my 20 week ultrasound already! This pregnancy seems to be flying by and I'm pretty sure its due to the fact that I have a toddler. Our first view of miss Haven was with her leg stretched up to her head. She was a bit stubborn and stayed in pretty much the same position throughout the ultrasound. The ultrasound tech had to nudge her around a bit to get her to move. I remember Brielle being just as stubborn and if Haven's anything like her sister we'll have another strong willed little girl. Everything on the ultrasound looked good expect for a small tissue concern. I will have another ultrasound at the beginning of my third ultrasound in 8 weeks. This ultrasound is to make sure the tissue is not interfering with the delivery of Haven. The doctor didn't seem to be concerned but it is just done as a precaution. Our little miss is measuring just under the 50th percentile and couldn't be more perfect. We cannot wait to meet the fourth member of our family!

While we wait for our newest addition we will continue to soak up the rest of the Summer. Before you know it the holidays will be here and then our sweet girl.

I'm feeling beyond grateful these days and happy with how far our family has come.

Our next appointment is in four weeks and I'll for sure be updating then!

Have a happy week my loves! xoxo

Maternity wear- PinkBlush Maternity

As my bump continues to grow I really understand the importance of comfort. My belly is growing much faster as this is considered my fourth pregnancy. It's hard to find comfy clothes especially when you are pregnant. I've found that maxi dresses are usually the most comfortable. I just received my maternity dress from PinkBlush maternity in the mail and fell in love! It is both comfortable and cute for my growing bump. If you haven't checked out PinkBlush Maternity yet I recommend doing so!

Happy Monday!

15 week update..giveaway coming soon!

I had another check up with my little angel girl this past few weeks. Brielle Ann and I got to listen to her heartbeat with the doppler for the first time. It was such a beautiful sound and the doctor was able to find my sweet girl's heart immediately! Everything seemed to be going on track and I had the second part of my genetic screening lab drawn. I can't wait for the moment when I began to feel this little girl move. I started feeling Brielle Ann around 17 weeks so I know it could be any day now. I'm still so overjoyed that our family is growing. I couldn't have asked for any bigger of a blessing. She will make our family feel complete. God continues to answer our prayers and without my faith I would have never gotten this far.

We were anxiously waiting a much needed mini vacay with our friends over the weekend!

Stay tuned for a giveaway with PinkBlush Maternity in the coming weeks! And below is my growing bump :)

Gender reveal!

The big day finally arrived when we would share the news with our family and friend... the baby's gender! We waited a few weeks before Charles' family was up from Texas to share the news. We had a small reveal with just our immediate family at my parents' house. I purchased a HUGE confetti balloon from Etsy that had either blue or pink inside. I also had a beautiful cake made with our baby's name to share his/her name. Our family cast their votes and then it was time to share our BIG news!

We are excited to announce we will be welcoming a girl in December! Her name is Haven Rose and we couldn't be more excited to give Brielle Ann a little sister. She will be the best gift this coming Christmas!

Keep following along for more pregnancy updates and family fun this Summer!

Boy or Girl? And genetic screening

Before my 11 week ultrasound I received a call with my recent blood work results. All of the genetic screening came back normal which was wonderful! They also had the results of the baby's gender. :) It's amazing that we could find out the gender so early in the pregnancy. When I was pregnant with Brielle we had to wait till 19 weeks. Now they can tell the gender with the baby's blood that crosses over the placenta. I had the nurse write down the gender on a card that I could pick up at my appointment that day.

Charles was able to make it with me to my ultrasound appointment and I was beyond excited to see our baby again! Our little one was quite stubborn at first but with a little help from the ultrasound tech the little one began squirming all around. Our baby appeared to look healthy and we received a call later from my OB that the ultrasound results showed no concerns.

The envelope with our baby's gender sat on the dinner table for a few hours. It took some major willpower not to open the envelope! Once Charles got home he went straight for the envelope. It wasn't exactly the plan but I figured we could find out together before our reveal. It was so funny to watch him try to sneak a peak through the envelope before opening it. We opened the envelope and..... stay tuned for the gender!
