The heart beat!

Last weekend we got to hear our little baby's heart beat! It was very scary at first because it took a while to find it. Scott and I were looking at each other in PANIC but Judy (a friend of the whole Hoopingarner family) assured us that its normal to take a while because that little turkey is small still. She said that it was approximately 160 BPM... that's into girls territory from what I understand!!! haha Take a look at the pictures for the fun!!!:)

Drs. Visit

On Thursday we went to the Dr. All the tests came out wonderfully she said and everything is looking great!:) Next appt in 3-4 weeks we will hear the heart beat at this appt. Then 3-4 weeks after that we will find out what little Baby Hoopingarner is... Boy or Girl!!!:) She kept my due date at 2-20-10 as well. We got to see our little Spicy Meatball as Scott likes to call it. (Because it really looks like 2 meatballs next to each other!haha) I will post the ultrasound photo below.

I am starting to feel MUCH better besides being hungry ALL THE TIME!!! haha:) But no more sicky which is WONDERFUL!:) More to come later.....

Feeling better!

Well, the news for the day is that for the last week or so I have been feeling A LOT better! Still tired but nothing near what it used to be. I have an appointment on Thursday where I will get to see the little one and hear its heart beat!! Scott and I are both SOOO excited for this! I will get my scanner up and going so you all can see the beautiful (or handsome) little bean as soon as possible!!:)

The Dr. visit!

Today I went to the Dr. and got all sorts of information on what I can eat, what I can't eat, what will help me from being sick constantly, what meds I can take and what ones I can't, etc. It really was educational!:) I also was given my EDD of Feb 20, 2010 (2-20-10). Thats a good date!:) That puts me at just over 7 weeks (8 weeks on Friday). Next appt is July 30th and I am told I will get to hear the heart beat!!!!!:) I am so excited for that!

I will keep you all updated on the info as it comes!:)

4th of July

I hope everyone had a wonderful, happy and safe 4th of July!

Scott and I decided it would be best not to brave the craziness of Red, White and BOOM! this year and chose to watch it from the comfort of our living room on television. I am very glad we did because I have been feeling pretty sick 24/7 lately. This baby really wants me to know he/she is in there!! haha. We did however take a trip a mile down the road last night to watch the Dublin Fireworks. Which started off so smooth, not feeling sick at all!! Well sad to say that was short lived! By the time we were pulling in at the house I was running towards the bathroom. :( I am glad I decorated it nicely because it has become a permanent residence for me lately!:) haha.

My appointment is on Tuesday so I am sure I will have some more updates for you then!!

Scott and Abby plus a Baby!

Well Father's Day weekend was quite an exciting one for us! Not just celebrating our Dads and Grandfathers but we also found out that we will be parents! It was quite a surprise and it took some time to gather ourselves from the shock of it all but now we are so excited and ready to start this new chapter in our lives.

Things were going quite swimmingly, besides the extreme tiredness, until last night when my body decided that I wasn't feeling icky enough. Needless to say I have been so sick since last night!:( Not only that but I have been able to display a wide array of moods. Moods that can change from literally one second to the next. Poor Scott is so worried because I am getting good at randomly crying and having no reason for it. I try to explain it but when I don't exactly know why I am doing it, its difficult!

I will try and keep everyone updated on all the happenings in our life with the new addition to the Hoopingarner Family!:)
