Baby GIRL! We are so excited for Keira to have a little sister :) I know from experience how awesome it is to have sisters, hopefully they will be best friends like I am with mine!
Baby girl is doing great, everything they checked looked good and her h/b was 141. Ten fingers and ten toes and already beautiful :) Poor thing is going to get a lot of hand-me-downs, but we'll make sure to get a few things she can call her own ;)
I recently joined the Amex Starwood Preferred Guest Bzzcampaign through Bzzagent as well. Like many others, I definitely don't need any more credit cards, but was willing to learn about the card at least since none of the cards I have right now have any really great rewards to them. I also do not carry an Amex card.
The rewards look pretty good - you get pts you can use toward a stay at a Starwood hotel and bonus pts for signing up, room upgrades if you spend so much, etc. We like to travel so it sounds nice, unfortunately we have never stayed at a Starwood hotel and hadn't even heard of the brand before so I have decided not to apply for the card.
As a Bzz agent, I am loving the new Bzz Campaign I was lucky to be chosen for!
Elmers has always had the best products for gluing and adhering items for craft projects, and now I have an excuse to try them out.
Last weekend happened to be Gram's 80th Bday party, so I decided what better to start with than a card, made primarily by me but decorated by Keira and her newfound coloring skills :)
So I made a trek to JoAnn Fabrics for some extra supplies (paper, stickers etc) and checked out the goods in the Bzzkit to see what items would work with our project. We ended up using the Elmers glue stick and a few glue spots, along with the Xacto scissors and corner rounder. The end product was super cute & Gram loved it! Keira of course loved adding the stickers and coloring all over it as well :)
Pics will be added soon!
Ugggh - my mirror is streaked of course, but it is late and I am lazy LOL!
14 week appt today went well. I am down a lb (damn persistent m/s!), blood pressure is good (was a bit high with K), and we were able to find baby's heartbeat right away this time.
Big ultrasound is scheduled for Oct 18th! So soon, and we are so excited!

Back in June we hosted a Febreze party and got quite the loot with that party as well. House Party is a great way for brands to market their products, and it is so nice to get items for free!
is the number of beats our baby's heart is beating per minute, and how many times he/she steals mine :) 
Friday, August 20th was our first OB appointment. It went well, pretty standard stuff. Only issue was that he was not able to find Baby's heartbeat with the Doppler. So yesterday we were able to SEE the heartbeat instead :)
There are a few reasons why the Doppler did not work - the baby could have been moving too much, my uterus is slightly tilted after having K, and according to the ultrasound the placenta is forming toward the front making more padding for the machine to go through. Nothing that would be cause for alarm, thankfully.
A few notes - the bloat is down a bit - so I no longer look huge :P The morning sickness has not subsided and I am pretty miserable, but I'll take it. I'm thinking it will get better soon, right? :) One thing I completely forgot about with K that is hitting me HARD right now, is the ITCHING! It is insane. I would really like to tear my skin off some days (and nights, not fun!). I always attributed it to the weather, winter, dry skin, whatever. But now I really think it is a pregnancy thing because it came back :P
Anyway, enough of the complaining - we are so happy and blessed. All of the annoying things are things that also make me laugh and smile, because I know that there is a beautiful little baby snug and sound growing and kicking up a storm.
