After impatiently waiting, we finally found today that we are having a boy. I'm not going to lie, I started to think it was a girl. Mainly because EVERYONE kept saying boy. You know how it goes, everyone says one thing and then it's the complete opposite. Well obviously that wasn't the case in this situation.
It was so amazing to see everything on the screen. He was very active during the whole process. He is looking very healthy. We got to see his bones, his heart and his brain. All developing the way it should. According to the computer he is weighing about 1 lb. When the nurse informed us of the gender I don't think I have ever seen anyone jump as high with joy as my husband did today. His "legacy" (as he calls it) will be passed on. I was laughing so hard, smiling ear to ear. Happy to be having a boy first.
Now, for the next step...getting Ronald Lee Murray IV's room ready for his arrival. Let the decorating and planning begin!!!
So as most of you know we still have yet to know the sex of little baby. All thanks to the navy hospital and them giving us the run around. However, we did get to hear the heart beat. It was so amazing! Hearing this "thump, thump, thump" going super fast. We also kept hearing scratching noises which,according to the doctor, was the baby moving around. I definitely got a little emotional. I'm surprised Ronnie didn't. I think he just really wants the ultrasound more than anything. To be able to see how he/she has developed since we it last will be even better. And being able to know what we are having would be awesome too. I'm getting anxious looking at baby's room wanting to decorate so bad! Well we will hopefully get to know on the 24th of this month. I am not making any promises but I know for sure it is an ultra sound. Keep your fingers crossed for me. :)
Well hopefully the time will go by fast for me, considering I go back to work tomorrow. I'm not going to lie, definitely nervous. Especially since I've been out of grooming for two months now and I'm going to be in a new environment. But this will finally get me out of the house and I won't be so bored anymore, and maybe I will make some friends too. I will let everyone know how it goes tomorrow. Wish me luck! :D
Sorry all that it has been a few days since my last post. I have been busy trying to get things done, furniture shopping and looking for a car. Which I am happy to announce that I now have transportation! About flipping time, right? And we also bought a whole new bedroom outfit. It will be amazing to finally be able to sleep in a real bed rather than a plain old mattress. We will receive it this Sunday. Woot woot!
Anywho, how was everyone's Fourth of July? Mine was okay. Not as great as I wanted it to be but I am very happy that I got to spend it with great people like my husband, his uncle and his uncle's girlfriend Shari. We went swimming and had a wonderful BBQ. Even Daquiri got to come have fun with us. No fireworks for me this year unfortunately due to Ronnie having to be up early tomorrow and too much traffic that I really don't want to drive in. Didn't get too many pictures but I did bake some 4th of July cupcakes and took pictures of that.
Well Happy Fourth everyone! Hope everyone was safe and enjoyed blowing things up! Have a great night!
Good morning wonderful blog readers! And what a glorious day it is...hopefully. It's only 8 am so let us see what the rest of the day brings us.
I finally got to video chat with my best friend Angel last night. Makes me want to go home for a visit so bad. I miss her and my family so much. But I'm crossing my fingers that I either get to go home next year or she gets to come visit me next year. We shall see. Thank goodness for phones, computers and video messaging because otherwise I would probably go insane if I don't get to talk to my Angely Poo! :) I would say more but I think my scrapbook page will say it for me. So here ya go, I'll post more scrapbook pages later. Have a great day!
Just a quick one before I head to bed and hopefully actually get some sleep this time. Like I told my mom earlier on the phone when this child does something bad it's Ronnie's kid not mine. :) At least that's what I learned when I was growing up. Whenever I was in trouble my mom's favorite line was "Paul! Deal with YOUR child before I scream". Always worked too. Poor dad!
Well "Ronnie's child" decided to let me know that him/her was in my tummy for sure by rolling, kicking and jabbing my in all sorts of places all nice. Keeping me up till 3 am. Then when I finally got some sleep I get woken up by Ronnie getting ready for work. And once again I can't sleep till it's almost 9am. And then up for the day at 1pm. My sleeping schedule is out of whack it's not even funny! I go back to work in a little over a week and really need to get some decent sleep before then.
Good news is I am not at all disappointed about my baby moving all night. Actually I sat up and started crying because I was so happy to feel the crazy weird feeling I had going on in there. Made me smile and excited even more about the fact that I am having a baby. Our first wonderful bundle of joy! Ronnie even laid on my stomach and was talking to the munchkin today about how ecstatic he is to finally meet him/her.
Next step, finding out the gender. I'm getting pretty antsy about it too. Didn't help that I got the reminder call about my appointment on Tuesday at 1pm. Woo hoo! Four more days!
Alright time for this one to try and attempt to sleep. Crossing fingers that I can manage it this time and hopefully munchkin will sleep too. One can only hope :) Have a fantastic night all!
I woke up in a fantastic mood today. Must've woke up on the right side of the bed or something like that. Or maybe its because things are finally looking up. :)
One of the biggest problems now a days in this society is money issues. Not being able to do anything because you had to pay so much in bills or in my case get a new place to live. Living from paycheck to paycheck sucks and not being able to do anything sucks even more. Stuck watching t.v all day or sitting at a computer all day because there is nothing good on the t.v is even worse. Granted I will probably still be doing these things but with a little more ease of the mind. I have been stressed out just due to the fact that I really can't wait to get back to work so I can help with the money situation. But today things have finally started looking up, I've always told myself things will be okay and things will start looking up soon. But unfortunately didn't know how soon. Well things are great today! I woke up smiling (still slept in though) and am not angry about one thing at all.
I scrap-booked a few pages this morning. Really, really need to get out and take some more pictures. Using older ones gets kind of boring. Luckily 4th of July is coming up next week and my camera will be all set in my hand the entire time. Woo hoo! What is everyone's plans for the holiday? Mine? Well the way things are looking up, my husband and I plan on driving down to Goldsboro, North Carolina to spend it with his dad and family. I'm excited, haven't had a good 4th of July in awhile. Lets blow things up!!!!
Hope you like, worked pretty hard on them. And put a lot of thought and feeling into them. Especially the first and last one. Despite our different opinions Bee I will always love you and I will always be here for you. I may not agree with half the stuff you do, just like you don't always agree with mine, but you are my baby sister and my best friend.
I haven't really been in the blogging mood. A lot has been on my mind which is what I have been trying to avoid. Stress, stress and more stress. But when I do blog and scrapbook it all goes away. I really need to go back to work so that way I have more to do than just sitting at a computer or laying around the apartment. I still haven't fully adapted to this area yet probably just due to the fact that I don't have a car to get anywhere at the moment. But also because I have no one here to do anything with. It's even harder when Ronnie barely has any time off. He has had one day off in the past 2 weeks. So when he is home he's too tired to do anything. It's tough but I knew what life I was getting into. I dealt with my dad being gone all the time and so I'm used to it. It just makes it harder when you don't have any friends here. And that's why I really need to get into crafts and what not to keep myself busy. When your poor though it's kind of hard to do stuff like that. So I just stick to my computer and scrapbook till I go back to work and make extra money for us so I can do fun stuff like that. Well here is my last page for the night. I will be making more tomorrow. Have a great night all!
