baby shoes and furniture

I went shopping with my mom this weekend. We hit up all the fun trendy little shops with all the baby clothes I totally can't afford but man is it fun to try to. Of course I didn't buy much, Just a little winter hat that I loved that was on sale and some I think hilarious little metallic silver shoes that say rock star on the top of them with guitars. My husband plays the guitar and I wanted to get something random and fun so I saw these and although they are flashy and silly. I figure they will be cute with some little baby jeans. My child is going to feel something like David Bowie with his crazy rocker shoes on.
My husband and I also settled on the furniture. We have plenty of time but we have 90 days layaway and honestly if we start paying on it next week or even the week after that then we will be getting it in our possession sometime around the end of 7 months and the beginning of 8 months. That sounds good to me. I would like to have it to put in the room before my showers. They are in motion for early August so that should be just about right.
Its so much fun.

Cheese fries MMMMM!

Hello ladies! I'm just feeling happy and good these days for the most part. I'm not sure if any of you have ever had any of steak and shakes french fries with the ghetto-fied cheese they give you when you order the "cheese fries". Point being is that I complained to my husband the first time I had them that they reminded of the soccer field concession stand cheese they give you with your ball park nachos thats not even really cheese. It tastes like plastic cheese! (you know what I'm talking about!!) Now for some odd reason its all I can think about. I get off of work and I'm hungry "hmmm what sounds good, oh I know the ghetto cheese fries from steak and shake". I just don't get it. They are delish to me now. I absolutely can't get enough.
I'm not even sure if I would classify this as a funny pregnancy craving or if its just a normal weird me craving like usual. I've eaten pickles and cheese as a snack for years. Anything cheesy I'm up for. But ball park cheesy fries, now this is a new one.

I'm a little bit worried

Today we went to the doc. Cooper looked great, he was just moving all over the place. Its always great to see him. But then my doctor proceeds to tell us that he thinks I might be at risk of developing and having placenta previa. Now he explained this to us and wasn't too concerned and said there was a chance it might correct itself in the next 5 weeks or so but that there is a chance I could have it. I read up on it on good old google today and it really scares me. The risks seem terrible. I know it doesn't have to be a really dangerous thing to have but I guess I'm just worried. I just want my baby and I to make it safely through this pregnancy. That was my biggest concern was "is my baby going to be ok". Doc N said he should be completely fine. But of course I'll still worry.

My first maternity clothes

I went out with my mom and sister in law this weekend because my pants aren't to small but they are definately getting tight and uncomfortable. I went in search of the spandex expander and of course when we got there it was hard not to look at all the fun summer clothes. I cracked up when I saw that they had a stap on belly. Way to much fun! My sister in law was like "we aren't leaving here until you try that on". It was great, Of course it doesn't really look like a pregnant belly but its close enough. They said it would add 3 months to your present pregnant state. So that would put me at 7 months with the fake baby.
I tried on a few shirts since they were on sale and I new I will be needing them very soon even if I don't really need them yet. So I bought two new shirts and the belly expander for my pants. I also bought the cream for my tummy, thighs and boobs for the stretch mark prevention. hopefully that will work. I probably should have started using that before now. I feel like I just had a little growth spurt. I'm 15 weeks tomorrow and Coop is growing fast. I'm only 5' 2" so I don't know if its because I don't have much space or if I'm exactly where I need to be but I definately am getting a pooch going. I'm excited for my bigger pregnant days Uncomfortable and all. SO MUCH FUN. I just love knowing he's growing. Thats what I pray for everyday that he's safe and healthy and growing accordingly.

He's doing great!!

Well, we went and we got to see our little man today. He looks great and healthy and the doctor told us to go ahead and tell anyone we want to. YAY!!! I'm 1 week short of my 1st tri-mester being over and its great.

I have one of the ultrasound pics we got today, Its a 3d profile picture. The rest I will scan on Monday and put them on here. Here is our little Cooper Thomas Case.

Let the neverending worrying begin.

I guess when your a parent that's what you do anyways so its completely normal to be that way when your pregnant. Somehow this week I must have had a major surge of hormones or something because my worrying paranoid side has come out full force. Just thinking anything bad could happen would send me into tears. I've managed to get it under control because seriously I cannot be letting myself be that way this entire pregnancy and my sons entire life. So I better get stronger now. There's absolutely no cause or reason for me to worry anyways, I'm just doing it to do it. Ridiculous right?
My sweet husband is of course being supportive. But come on he can only take so much from his hormone driven crazy wife. Bless his heart, He is a good man.

Went to the doc on Friday!

We went to the doctor on Friday, and to our surprise when he started the ultrasound the first image to pop up on the screen was two legs and yes thats right ladies a penis! We are most definately having a boy. There was no sign of this until this appointment so we were surprised. We just saw the doctor 2 weeks before this appointment but as you know babies grow very fast.
We are so excited. Everything looked really good. I have some great Ultrasound pics but I tried to scan them and they didn't come out good. I'm not sure how to scan them to were you can see them good enough?
Either way we are so excited, we go back in 3 weeks so when I'm 13-1/2 weeks we will see our little baby boy again. Right now I'm 11 weeks. I'm just so ready to be out of this first tri-mester.

Sorry I've been doing so terrible at keeping up with my blog lately. I was out of town for a little while and when I got back I just hadn't gotten back on to check up. I've got to stay up on things. Everybody posted so much since I hadn't checked.
