Baby Furniture

Yesterday we bought some baby furniture for our nursery from Kid's Supercenter up in Sioux Falls. We bought the baby's crib which is chocolate brown and we bought a matching dresser/changing table. We will get the furniture sometime in May or June. We will post pics when the nursery is all put together!

Another Ob visit!

This weekend I was having some complications and I called the doctor on call and thank God it was Dr Angela Aldrich. She told me that it wasn't an emergency but she still wanted to see me in the clinic today. They checked the baby's fetal heart tones and they were 144. Then we got to do an ultrasound..I was so excited and kind of scared. Everything was fine with the baby and we got to see the baby's brain, spine, stomach, heart, fingers, femur among many other things. However we did not get to see if the baby was a boy or girl! I guess we will have to be patient and wait until my next ultrasound on March 31. The baby was facing towards my spine so it's little bottom was towards us. The baby was also in a kneeling position as you can see on the ultrasound picture. We were so excited to hear that everything was normal and it was pretty exciting to see our little one!

Ob visit

Today I had another OB visit! Everything is doing great! It was more of a social visit. They checked my blood pressure, urine for protein and glucose, wieghed me, and checked fetal heart tones! Everything turned out good and the baby's heartbeat was 158! It was so much louder than the last time! I am so excited for the next visit....it will be March 31 @ 10 am and we will hopefully get to find out the sex of the baby. There will definitely be some pics to follow from the ultrasound.
Another update is we have been looking at baby names and can't wait to narrow them down when we find out the sex!

2nd Doctor's Appt

We had our second doctor's appt this week. It was an easy one. They took my weight, blood pressure, and urine. Everything checked out ok. The nurse also doppled the baby's heart beat and it was 155. It was so amazing to hear our baby's heartbeat!

Nursery!

Today we bought the baby bedding! You can see it by copying and pasting the link...http://www2.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?DeptID=62438&CatID=62730&GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=14e9ece&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CMID=62438|62644|62645&Fltr=&Srt=&QL=F&IND=1&CmCatId=62438|62644|62645|62730. It is from JC Penney and it is frogs and ducks! We wanted our nursery to be gender neutral so we can use it for future children as well. Today we also bought a beige shag rug for the nursery. We will put pics on when the nursery is all done so you can see it!

Also I have noticed that clothes, mainly pants, are getting a little too tight so baby is definitely growing! We are almost 11 weeks along and so excited!

1st Doctor's Appt!

Today was our first doctor's appt.! The doctor had us do an ultrasound and we got to see our baby. The baby is very small; quite like a jellybean. We got to see the heartbeat, which was a little flicker, and the baby's heart rate. The heart rate was 120! We also found out that our due date is August 25, 2009 which is actually the same due date that Andy had when he was supposed to be born! Maybe the baby can wait a few days so it can be born on Andy's birthday of Sept 2. We will have to see.....I will be posting a pic of the ultrasound once I get it to the right size to post.

Surprising the Ebersole's at Christmas

December 26,2008
It was so hard to wait a couple of weeks to tell my parents but somehow I was able to do it! We flew into Indianapolis and drove to my parent's house. When we first got there we said hi to everyone and then I showed them my shirt. I had bought a shirt earlier that week that had a stork with a baby on it and it said due in August! I told everyone that I had a really cool new shirt and everyone looked at it and knew right away! It was a great Christmas this year...we also told both sets of our extended family!
