First Doc Appt!

I am 10 wks along and had my first doc appt today! Brandon and Chayse went with, though Chayse was too interested in figuring out how to get OUT of the room, rather than stay in and see the baby on the screen. I am sure he will get more attentive as time goes on and he realizes more whats going on! Little Baby Leavitt looks great and had a whopping heartbeat of 186! (Maybe it had something to do with the two sips of Diet Coke I had before I went in!) My next appt in Aug 22 and I look forward to getting to check in the with doc again just to make sure the baby is doing great. Since I have had two premature babies, they are keeping a close watch on me and want me to keep strict on seeing the doc every 4 wks. Because of the fact that I started my appts when I was 10 wks...my next appt is when I am 14 wks and the next is at 18 wks. Usually you would just wait until 20 wks so you can see the doc and the ultrasound tech at the same time to find out the sex and get your monthly check up. But they didnt want me to wait 6 wks..so I luckily get to find out what we are having two weeks earlier than I had expected! Who knows if that made any sense..but in my head it does! Anyway, something is weird with my scanner so I wasn't able to show the cute lil peanut's picture..but I attached a 4D picture of what a 10 week old fetus looks like! Too fun! :)

Chayse @ The Cruise In

Every July, Cache Valley has an even called "The Cruise In" and on Saturday night they have a parade of all these old, refinished cars. It is pretty entertaining and fun to see all the different cars, and of course some really snazzy new ones sneak their way in! This year we sat right by a band that was playing and Chayse really enjoyed listening to their music and dancing to it!



Chayse is the king of funny faces! I am not quite sure what caused this one! He is such a goof!~

Chayse got a new camping chair for our July Camping Trip, but we decided to give it a try at the parade and Chayse loved his puppy dog chair! He looks so comfy! (Thanks for the idea Tegan!)

We had a lot of fun at the parade this year and look forward to next year! We are hoping my dad will bring his 1956 Willeys that him and my brother re-did!

Is it a Boy or a Girl???

So I was reading an article on iVillage.com and I saw this fun article: Boy or Girl? 38 Fun Ways to Guess Your Baby's Sex. Here is the checklist for a boy, and then a girl!

It's a boy if:

• You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy
• Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute
• You are carrying the extra weight out front
• Your belly looks like a basketball
• Your areolas have darkened considerably
• You are carrying low
• You are craving salty or sour foods
• You are craving protein -- meats and cheese
• Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy
• The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy
• Your hands are very dry
• Your pillow faces north when you sleep
• Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you
• Pregnancy has you looking better than ever
• Your urine is bright yellow in color
• Your nose is spreading
• You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles
• You are having headaches
• You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number

It's a girl if:

• You had morning sickness early in pregnancy
• Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute
• You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear
• Your left breast is larger than your right breast
• Your hair develops red highlights
• You are carrying high
• Your belly looks like a watermelon
• You are craving sweets
• You are craving fruit
• You crave orange juice
• You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy
• You are moodier than usual during pregnancy
• Your face breaks out more than usual
• You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread
• Your breasts have really blossomed!
• Your pillow faces south when you sleep
• Your urine is a dull yellow color
• You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves from side to side
• You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number

So far.. I could check more on the girl list than the boy list. Though the Chinese birth calendar says it will be a boy. I am only 9 weeks, so I still have 11 more weeks til we find out, but I just have to do fun little things to keep it interesting until then!

Baby Toys!

My sister showed me a really cute site for baby toys that I just love! They are soft and furry and so cute in a simple way! Most of the toys are in soft subtle colors and just perfect for a newborn to snuggle up to! I am definately going to by our new lil baby a few of these toys, once I can get myself to actually buy something. I feel like I am jinxing myself if I buy something before the first tri is over! :)
