32 week appointment
Yesterday I had my 32 week appointment. Kloey is growing right on track, im measuring 32cm and her heartbeat is a strong 140. She is still head down, the doctor showed where to feel, and I could feel her little head! What a miracle! I think it's amazing that babies know to turn, another amazing thing God does! On thursday I have to go to the clinic and get my H1N1 vaccine, they are only offering it to pregnant women right now until they get more in a couple weeks. Hopefully it goes ok, I've heard it can have some wierd side affects... but it's better than putting me and Kloey at risk of getting the swine flu!!!
Only 10 more days till my Babyshower!! Im soo excited!! Yeaahhh!!!

Happy 5th Birthday Jordan!
Happy Birthday Jordan!!!!
I couldn't write yesterday on his actual Birthday, my poor guy has a sinus and an ear infection right now. He hasn't been feeling good since saturday evening after his party, he got a really bad nose bleed and kept saying his ear hurt really bad. I took him to the doctor on Monday and sure enough he is very sick. :( My poor guy is a trooper though. Yesterday he stayed in bed all day and I read him books and even got to take a nap with him myself. I went and picked up a Happy Birthday balloon and a cap gun for him and Jesse to play with when he feels better.
I'm keeping him home today also, he has a field trip tomorrow to the Apple farm in Solvang and I really hope he's feeling well enough to go! I Love you Jordan Soooo Much!!! Happy Birthday!! And get better my big boy!!

27 WEEKS!!
Almost there! About 90 more days!
Your BabyThis week marks the beginning of the third trimester. The retina, which is important in the reception of light images, develops its normal layers by the 27th week of gestation. These layers are important in receiving light and light information and transmitting it to the brain for interpretation. Your baby's skin is quite wrinkled from floating in water. This will stay this way until a few weeks after birth as your newborn fills out into a baby. Your baby is about 14.5 inches long, and weighs over two pounds.
Your BodyCongratulations!
You have officially started your third trimester. Way to go! Your body will need an extra 300 to 350 calories each day. During this time you will continue to put on weight and will continue to do so until about your 36th or 37th week. You will notice that the weight you gain will be different in the placement then the weight you have gained to this point. As long as you are eating healthily and maintaining a well-balanced diet, the weight you gain during pregnancy is not considered fat or unhealthy, but instead, necessary for sustaining both you and your baby. Now is not the time to worry about the number on the scale and you should not diet while pregnant. If you are concerned with the amount of weight you are gaining - whether too much or too little - discuss it with your doctor. You may be experiencing some shortness of breath from the pressure of your uterus on your rib cage. As your uterus grows, it places pressure on the rib cage and prevents your lungs from being able to expand completely. But don't worry. You and your baby are still getting enough oxygen. In your third trimester it is important to recognize the signs of premature labor. Research shows that premature labor is more common in some women in the summer months then other times of year due to dehydration. Be sure to continue to drink plenty of fluids.

25 1/ 2 weeks!

Six and 1/2 months and counting! It's coming closer and closer to my due date, and i'm getting very anxious! I'm going to make a list today of everything we still need for Miss Kloey Nicole before she arrives! I am starting to realize her routine that she has, she is a night owl and likes to keep mommy up all night kicking and moving! She is usually asleep in the morning till about 10am or until I start doing my housework! And she usually is sleeping until 3 or 4. When daddy comes home from work she wakes up and he gets to feel her kicking everywhere too! Sometimes it feels like she has ten arms and legs! Jordan likes to talk to her and kisses my belly every morning when he goes into his classroom for school! I can't wait for our little princess to be here!!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 25:
fetus in sixth month Your little grower’s physical proportions are evening out at this point and most of their remaining development will largely be weight gain and lots and lots of nervous system development. The good news is: if your child is born premature now they’ll be more likely to survive without too much trauma as their lungs began to produce “surfactant” last week, which means their tiny respiratory system is getting stronger with each passing day. Yes, now’s a good time for a minor sigh of relief and a quick pat on the back. All that hard work and conscientious living is really getting your child prepared for a healthy delivery. Keep up the fabulous work mama! This week they’ll be scootching slowly out of the old breech position and start rotating (already!) into a better position for exit during their birth. Their head and feet are slowly rotating so that the head is pointed down towards the birth canal. Time is short (or really long, depending on who you ask)—just (still!) 14 weeks left before you can go back to being a single-resident human.
And how's mom doing? Trimester two is finally almost over, which means you have that one final trimester of pregnancy to enjoy (and suffer through). You could celebrate this landmark passage by purchasing some piece of clothing designed to make your curvy body look as gorgeous and classy as possible... and don’t let the Try to practice good posture—it will alleviate some of the back fatigue as slouching is actually harder on your back price tag stop you, this is an act of self-love not book-keeping. But before you max out your credit card, remember: you’re only going to get larger, so buy smart. Speaking of larger, you’re obviously carrying more weight now and your back is going to let you know. Don’t let this get you down or make you feel like a weakling—it all comes with the territory of being preggers. Try to practice good posture—it will alleviate some of the back fatigue as slouching is actually harder on your back. It’s also common for women to experience leg cramps during this period. Go ahead, strong arm someone who loves you into giving you a massage. Or if you're lucky enough to have the extra bucks, head to a spa that specializes in pregnancy massages and get the full-treatment.
You may have already noticed that your hair seems fuller, thicker, more plentiful and darker-- especially your body hair. There are two basic reasons for this: 1) you're shedding much less (head) hair than you usually do and 2) your body's hormones contribute to the way your body hair is growing right now. Not to worry, all the hairiness will return to normal after you've delivered your baby.

A cute email to share!
My mom sent this to me, an d I thought it was too cute!! I thought i would share it! :)
From the diary of a Pre-School Teacher
My five-year old students are learning to read.
Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,
"Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant! "I took a deep breath, then
asked...."What did you call it?""It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the
picture!" And so it does... " A f r i c a n Elephant " Hooked on phonics!
Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.

Here are some new pics of my vacation to ventura! It was sooo fun!! Jordan loves the beach and it was so pretty this year!!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 16:
fetus in fourth month Over the past three weeks your astounding growing baby has managed to stretch yet another 2 full inches (totaling about 4.5 inches) and weighs around 3.5 ounces. Yessireee, that’s some pretty serious growth... and with it comes several physical developments! For starters, their head to body ratio is finally starting to even out a bit as the rest of the body is actually growing faster than the head at this point. Yes, your little light bulb is not so top-heavy. Their adorable little limbs have lengthened, almost reaching their normal proportions which they will have at birth. Their eyes are still closed but moving and if you had an ultrasound, which many doctors recommend you have at about this time, you may even see your little one sucking on a thumb, not to mention the necessary signifiers to let you know whether you’ve got a wee lad or lassie.

14 weeks!
Getting closer!! Fetal development in pregnancy week 14:
fetus in fourth month Isn’t it glorious? You and your little buckaroo have roped your way right into trimester numero dos! Are you ready to rock!? Okay, okay… maybe just a little rolling and poking. Needless to say, your baby will definitely be making themselves known in the upcoming weeks. At about 3.5 inches long, their little body and limber limbs are coordinated enough for loads of complicated motions. In fact, their whole body is moving right now! You're not feeling it because their current size is still a bit too small to make an impact you'd recognize. Still, their movements are recognizable on an ultrasound. Speaking of which, you shoud be scheduling one with your health care provider! Week 16 is the classic date as you can usually determine whether your little one is going to pee standing up or sitting down. Your baby is also starting to develop the ability to move their eyes this week, although the eyelids still remain fused shut. What's more, they can make all sorts of fun facial expressions as they practice squinting, frowning, and grimacing. Cute development of the week: their little hands can grasp at things and they may already be sucking their thumb!
And how's mom doing? What’s in the forecast for your second trimester? We’ve got a heavy concentration of developing fetal movement, which will increase in magnitude in frequency through the duration of the second trimester before subsiding in the third trimester as womb-space becomes limited. If you think you’ve got the second trimester is typically experienced as the most exciting and enjoyable of the three— the morning sickness is gone, you definitely feel and look pregnant, but you’re not yet an overstuffed-lumbering-mammoth gas or some kind of odd bowel obstruction right now, it might actually just be your little one poking you hello! You’ll become more familiar with the sensation as the frequency and intensity increase (and you’ll never quite forget this special feeling!.
On to the less exciting news. In your second trimester, you will most likely experience some if not all of the following symptoms to varying degrees: dizziness, headache and back pain. Just like morning sickness during the first trimester, your chances of experiencing a given set of symptoms increases if you’ve already had them in a previous pregnancy. Unfortunately, if you’re starting to experience back pain, it will most likely increase as you gain more weight towards the end of the trimester. Although unavoidable during your waking hours, you don’t have to suffer so much during the night—there are some wonderful products out there such as the full body pregnancy pillow, which will help you make it through the night without too much undue suffering. Water retention is another fairly classic albeit annoying pregnancy symptom which typically leads to swollen fingers, toes, ankles and/or legs. These are all perfectly normal (and fairly bearable) symptoms that should not be a source of unnecessary stress. Despite these annoyances, the second trimester is typically experienced as the most exciting and enjoyable of the three— the morning sickness is gone, you definitely feel and look pregnant, but you’re not yet an overstuffed-lumbering-mammoth. Go team go!

11 weeks!!... feeling tired and fat!!
I don't remember being pregnant with Jordan THIS hard! I just feel yucky all the time!! Hopefully this will pass as I go into my second trimester! I am sooo amazingly thankful for this baby don't get me wrong, but I am ready to stop feeling so miserable all the time!Fetal development in pregnancy week 11:
fetus in third month Maybe you’ve noticed… your baby is a super-duper grower! Your lil' fetus will be gaining a substantial amount of weight this week and has already achieved fruit-size-status comparable to a plum. What's more, your little scientist is already starting to explore their body, focusing most intently on touching their head, and especially their face and mouth. Their mouth in particular will provide them with hours of entertainment. This happens not only because your baby is gaining coordination, and is therefore able to move a hand on command, but also because their palms have gained sensation and can actually “feel” what it touches.They're also developing their swallow reflex this week. And lastly, your baby's smelling and other olfactory senses will begin developing this week, which when combined with the maturing taste buds, will provide your baby with their first experiences of taste and smell.
And how's mom doing? If you’re still enduring the joys of morning sickness, it should finally be subsiding to the point of non-existence by the end of this week. The growing placenta combined with your little one’s developing pituitary gland have given you a break on hormone production, so now your can focus on Think about it, if it’s not good for you, then it won’t do any good for your developing baby. If you’re finding that you’re still hungry after dinner, don’t simply default to having extra ice cream for dessert the fact you’re about to enter the second trimester of pregnancy, which can be most aptly characterized by lots of growth for both you and your little uterus-tenant.
At this point you should be making a conscious effort to gradually increase your consumption of healthy, vitamin-rich food, but remember: THIS DOES NOT MEAN LIFE IS NOW AN OPEN BUFFET. Think about it, if it’s not good for you, then it won’t do any good for your developing baby. If you’re finding that you’re still hungry after dinner, don’t simply default to having extra ice cream for dessert. Have a second helping of vegetables and fish, or whole grain bread with jam. Good nutrition is absolutely vital for your baby's brain and body development.
Additionally, make sure you’re taking “me-time” to center yourself and focus on your body’s interactions with your baby: listen to relaxing or inspiring music, read good books, think happy thoughts, you know, all the mentally stimulating stuff that puts you in a good mood and makes your pregnancy feel like a positive experience. In other words, watching international news isn't recommended. The better you treat your body and emotions now, the healthier and happier your child will be once “they’re on the outside.”

10 weeks!

Im almost to my 2nd trimester, 2 more weeks to go! Oh Baby! :) :) :) I have a little pooch already! And my pants are starting to feel a little tight!
Week 10: Graduation Day has arrived!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 10:
Fetal development in pregnancy week 10:
fetus in third month Your astonishingly tiny baby has been hard at work growing as fast as possible—almost doubling in size in the past three weeks! Amazingly, you’re in for a repeat size doubling performance within the next three weeks! Your tiny champion still weighs less than a quarter of an ounce but has already completed the most critical stage of their development. Using Doppler technology, your doctor or gynecologist can let you hear their tiny rapid fetal heartbeats this week (145-165 beats per minute!). Chances for miscarriage are greatly reduced when the heartbeat can be detected, so take a sigh of relief if you’ve been needing one—it hasn’t been an easy ten weeks! What’s more, they’re getting ready to make their first baby poop! Your little one’s major organ systems are developing, including a functioning digestive tract capable of moving food all the way through their bowels. The final shiny gold star on their fetal behavior chart for the week: your little scrapper has already developed defense mechanisms to protect them on reflex!
And how's mom doing? More good news for mom: the placenta has grown substantially in size and function and is now beginning to manage some of your child’s hormones, finally taking some of the hormonal burden off of you! Since the placenta has gradually taken over the hormone production for your baby, you should finally pregnancy is not a standardized procedure so much as an individual journey start to notice that much-awaited decrease in morning sickness symptoms. Like everything else, though, this is just a general guideline... if you have lingering effects for another couple of weeks, don’t fret (or fret, but don't blame us)—pregnancy is not a standardized procedure so much as an individual journey.

9 Weeks!!!
I am 9 weeks and 3 days pregnant!!! yeah!! My little miracle is getting bigger everyday!! I love this baby so much already!! Jesse and I have agreed on names already!!
Khloey Nicole for a girl!! and Dylan Jacob for a boy!! Whatever it is, this baby is such a blessing!!
Khloey Nicole for a girl!! and Dylan Jacob for a boy!! Whatever it is, this baby is such a blessing!!Fetal development in pregnancy week 9:
fetus in third month Congratulations! Your amazing growing baby has been accepted into to the fetus-club, a very exclusive and exiting new stage in their prenatal development. Basically, this means the little sweet pea has graduated from swimming embryo creature to a recognizable human being! This week in particular, the irises of their little eyes can function, but (frustratingly for them?) their eyelids remain fused shut for a while yet. Their external ears are formed and their inner ears are now filled with fluid—so your little one is already developing their sense of balance. Your baby's little swimmer legs are still relatively, although other bodily developments are going forward at a nice pace: their kidney is actually functioning now, which means they’ve started urinating (this might seem charming now but wait till you have to start buying diapers!).
And how's mom doing? You’re nearing the end of the first trimester and while there are plenty of dynamic and noticeable changes going on inside of you, not many changes are noticeable to you, with the exception of a mildly bulging midline-- which doesn't look pregnant enough to stop people from wondering if you need to Having a baby is the ultimate test for your body—if you take care of your health now you’ll come out of the pregnancy on top of your health and ready to be an energetic mother lay off the donuts. Although your body might seem a little boring right now, you can expect the creeping-up-effect of weight gain as you will gain roughly 1-2 lbs gain per week (some more and some less). It’s not a bad idea to chart this to make sure you’re not over or underfeeding both of you. As you’ve entered into the Fetal Period, it might be a good time to evaluate your personal health regimen—that is, if you haven’t already. Are you eating enough protein? Remember, protein can be found in beans, soy products and nuts—it doesn’t have to be a 12 ounce sirloin! Are you sleeping well, exercising right, drinking enough (non-sugary) fluids and getting your vitamin C? Having a baby is the ultimate test for your body—if you take care of your health now you’ll come out of the pregnancy on top of your health and ready to be an energetic mother, if not, well, let’s just say, you’re increasing the chances of suffering from depression, osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity, and a multitude of little nasty viruses (think colds and flues) that good health could've beat before you even noticed they’d invaded.

8 Weeks

Unfortunately this is how I spent my Mothers day night, no more hotfudge sudaes for me and baby... it was sooo good though. I only got sick a couple times with Jordan, maybe this means it's a girl!! i feel totally different with this one too, so we will see in a couple months!!!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 8:embryo in second month Woohoo! You've got one whole inch of baby inside of you! Your little embryo has finally reached the one-inch mark (30mm). And if it were possible to take a peek, you could actually see your tiny baby without a telescope! What’s more, your baby is finally starting to take on some very distinct human features. For starters, their little tail (really just the spinal cord) has disappeared completely. It’s nice to know your baby can no longer be mistaken for a sea creature! Additionally, both their toes and fingers are prominent with very little, if any, webbing. Upper and lower limbs all show recognizable joints (elbows and knees) and the lower limb bones are starting to ossify. But don’t expect your baby to resemble either parent quite yet. Right now, your baby’s head is disproportionately larger than the rest of their body--making up almost half of your little one’s height and weight!

God is Good!
Yesterday around 3:00 pm we found out Jesse got the job at Raytheon, his background check and drug test went through finally!! It was such exciting news!!! He starts Monday morning and will be training for the first couple months and then he will move to the night shift, which I think he will really like because he is a night owl not a morning person.
I am just sooo Thankful for everything in my life right now, we truly have an amazing God and I am blessed to have baby # 2 on the way and Jesse's new job to look forward to!!

Here's some info on my 7th week of pregnancy!!!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 7:
embryo in second month Your baby is really beginning to develop more physical definition this week – their oversized head isn’t just large and oblong anymore, it’s actually a little bit pointy. The tiny receding tail bud is now starting to be overshadowed by the growth of their legs, which are now complete with knees and the beginnings of toes. Their eyes and ears are the most visible features on their head and their miniature bones are starting to harden throughout their body. You also have some variation on a boy or a girl at this point, although their genitals won’t be visible enough to determine which color cigars you’re going to buy until around the 16th week.

Jordan is going to be a big brother!!!!
So we found out last night around 5pm that we are pregnant!!! Yeah!!! it has been a long time trying, and we are sooo excited!! God has given us another miracle!! I am about 4 weeks and 3 days along! My due date December 20th! Which is exciting because my birthday is on Christmas so that means our baby will be born around my birthday!! Yesterday Jordan had a Dr. app for his kindergarten wellness physical and, it's kinda funny cuz after he was done and we were waiting for the nurse to come in and give him his shots and said " mom and dad, how come we aren't having a baby?" I told him we just have to keep praying and we will someday. But then Jesse and I got thinking and I was a couple of days late for my period so I went to Wal-mart and got a three pack of tests. I was shocked when I watch the one line go to two in a matter of seconds!! And then another one, both positive!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!! We have an amazing God!!

Kindergarden here we come!!

On Thursday Jordan had his kindergarden registration!! he did so good!
I can't believe my baby is going to start school already! i also signed him up for a free preschool program that starts on may 5th, i'm really excited about that because I really think it will help him ( and me) prepare for school. The school gave me a packet to work with him everyday on his Alphabet and writing his name, he already knows how to count to 30! and all his colors and shapes.
So I have been working with him everyday learning line by line of his alphabet and tracing the letters of his name. It's amazing to me how fast kids learn now! i'm so proud of my little boy!
