the recent weeks.

OK so we realize we have gotten a little behind and we are truly sorry for the lack of posts as of late. So first things first. We have switched to a local Italian doctor instead of the Military doctors. For one the military doctors were over an hour away and they just didn't seem to personable. So we Had our first appointment with Dr. Pratti Thursday afternoon. and in the short but informative appointment she actually gave us a projected date of birth. Which are you ready for this Melinda? Is Sept 18Th. And during the sonogram they let us hear the heartbeat unlike at the base doctors. The little BEAN! was moving around allot. We could distinguish the arms and legs and the head. at one point he/she rolled over as if to moon us and say I'm not ready for you to see me yet. LOL. The next appointment was even scheduled and is on March 26Th.

So the next morning comes and I am awoken to Adriana saying that i think we need to go to the doctor. She had noticed a little blood in the morning, and rightfully so got a little freaked! which is when I tried to play the supportive role and say everything was going to be OK when really inside i might have been a bigger wreck. So we went to the near by hospital and had a check up with their baby doctors since ours couldn't be there due to surgery. So they looked her over and did a couple things and deemed that the baby were in good health and that this sort of thing is kind of normal after an appointment. something you think they would WARN YOU ABOUT! But all is good now. So we are roughly about 11 weeks along and her is the new 11 week picture and the new sonogram pics. Hope you enjoy. and we will try to keep up with this a little better from here on. US

actually only 8 1/2 weeks along

Hello everyone this is Adriana. I know big surprise :) Well we had our first ultrasound today and everything went great. We are actually 8 and 1/2 weeks prego. It looks like a peanut or lima bean, but Greg says it looks like an upside down pig lol. We saw the little heart, it was going super fast, but she didn't let us hear it, hopefully next time. Well there is nothing really new with me beside I sleep a lot, eat a lot and my sides feel all tight like after working out, which I don't do, but I guess it form all the streaching my stomach is doing. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Talk to you all soon.

8 1/2 weeks

Ok so here is the picture from last weekend. Sorry it took so long. Tomorrow is the sonogram so there will be a post tomorrow about that and i will try to scan the images on to the computer to share also. So until tomorrow then. Hope all is well.

health update

Just to let you know. Adriana has been sickness free for 4 days now. (KNOCK ON WOOD) Morning and cold symptoms. And i know its time for a new Photo and we have one. But i cant find where she has hidden the camera. I dont think she wants me to post it. lol. I will find it tomorrow and upload it. so be looking out.

a rough couple of days

OK so spell check is not working today so i hope you can make your way through this post without to much difficulty. Also i hoped you noticed the new baby countdown thing up in the right corner. courtesy of La nonna susan (grandmother in Italian.) And to answer a comment question the sonogram is on the 12th of FEB. To everyday life we go. So on wensday I awoke to a phone call asking me to come pick her up at work. She had been vomiting and dry heaving a couple of times that morning. She was also starting to come down with a cold. So all in all a bad start to the day to say the least. So with the people she is working for actually beeing nice they allowed her to come home but wouldnt let her drive. So hince me going to pick her up. She had called to make a doctor appointment but the Doc said that u need to come in unless you are cramping really bad and you cant keep anything down. So we just came home and she attempted to sleep it off. She did a pretty good job that day. Yesterday they also let her stay home. The morning sickness had faded but the cold was getting worse. She was now all sftuffed up and and feelling really tired but couldnt fall asleep due to the stuffy nose problem. The Doc said she could take reg sudafed but we cant get reg sudafed here and some say you shouldnt take any medicines until 12 weeks. So she is sticking it out. She is back at work today feeling prety much the same. I just talked to her and she thinks the morning sickness might be rearing its evil little head sometime soon so lets hope it dosent in our case and didnt happen for you guys. well that brings us up to right now on the info so im going to sign off. look forward to hearing from you all soon.
