Sprouts Growing

So we wonder will Sprout be short like Heather or tall like Jeff??? Since our last ultrasound 10 days ago Sprout has grown to 24 mms. A total growth of 11 mms, just over 1 mm per day. No aunt Meghan he/she is still not ready to come out and play, but will be ready by your graduation we promise. During this visit our wonderful doctor manipulated my abdomen so he could show us Sprout moving. Jeff was impressed that Sprout was head down, just practicing gymnastics in there. Everything looks good and we are going to have another ultrasound on September 11th, Gunner's birthday just so we don't have to wait the full 3 weeks before our 1st OB appointment. Today Sprout will experience in the womb a great USC game. Fight On!!! Here is the newest picture...

Sprout's Weird Dreams

Apparently Sprout is causing Heather to have some VERY odd dreams. While she remembers most of them, the one from last night was odd and hilarious. Just past 11:00pm last night Heather turned over and loudly proclaimed, "The baby's cereal expires August of next year." Needless to say, I was a tad baffled and asked her what she was talking about - to which she got angry that I wasn't listening. She then repeated herself and when I repeated it back she said, "Yes, how hard is that to understand?" - then promptly turned over and went back to bed....oh this will be a LONG few months ahead.

13 MM's???

Yesterday we had our 2nd ultrasound, and holy cow is Sprout growing rapidly. Last week Sprout measured 4 mms and this week is measuring 13 mms. That is more than tripled in a weeks period. Heartbeat was much more pronounced, and so far they say everything looks just like it should, although they are unable to see any defined structures at this point.

The Diaper Bag

Since I have the most wonderful husband in the world, he bought me the diaper bag I wanted. Ok yes it is a treat, and really I probably did not NEED a Coach diaper bag, but I just fell in love with it when I saw it. Hey, every once in a while you need to indulge. So my bag is the Coach Scribble Diaper Bag, and it is adorable. Now we just need to find a bag for Jeff later, because I really don't see him carrying this around.

1st Ultrasound

Today we had our 1st ultrasound at 6 weeks and 5 days. It was amazing. Everything is looking just like it should, and we were even able to see the babys heartbeating. We will have our next ultrasound next week. There is one and ONLY one baby Bailey family.

Sprout's Happenings

Many things have happened since we found out Sprout existed. Heather experienced her first earthquake and sat on the couch with Gunner waiting for it to pass. In the last week we have also gone to see Wicked. What an amazing show. It is our hope that Sporut enjoyed the story and music as well. We will definitely be looking into more shows since we enjoyed this one so much.

Knowing that it is good developmentally to the baby, we have begun reading Sprout a story each night before bed. It is our hope that as these next 34 weeks pass some of our family will also be able to talk to and read to Sprout as well. Now we are just counting down until the first ultrasound on Tuesday. Only 6 days to go. We will update around then. Lots of love to you all.

Its Positive

We are creating this website for our friends and family to keep up on what is happening with our little sprout. Since we are spread across the country we thought a blog would keep everyone updated throughout our pregnancy and after the baby was born so we can share pictures and posts.
So if you have the address to the blog you already know that we are expecting. Our estimated due date is April 02, 2009. We will be having our 1st ultrasound Tuesday August 12th. We can't wait to give you all the details.
