Baby Girl!!

We're having a girl! I had my 24 week check up and decided to have the ultrasound tech write down the sex of the baby and seal it in an envelope so Derek and I could find out together. During my ultrasound they took 4D pictures of our little girl which was very cool, I think she looks like Will. They did find fluid on her kidneys, which means we now have to monitor them by ultrasound every month. She could have a blockage in the tube that carries the urine from the kidney to the bladder or the valve isn't functioning correctly which lets some urine back into the kidney. It is something we have to watch and pray she grows out of it. I also found out during my appointment that I do not have gestational diabetes, yeah! Now we are on the hunt for a girls name that both Derek and I like and that is hard! We also have to go through all of Will's clothes that we have stored, set up the kids new rooms and Derek and I will be moving our room back downstairs to the main floor. Busy life for the Springer's !

Our Nephew is here!

Congrats to Ryan and Nicole. Baby Wyatt Kenton was born today just after 4pm weighing in at 8lbs 6oz and 20.5 inches long. We are so excited for them and can't wait to meet our new nephew. Will and Addison asked if they could go to KS to play with their new cousin. We'll be visiting soon!!!

Fun! Fun!

So I am dealing with something new this pregnancy. Unfortunately I have developed varicose veins that are pretty uncomfortable. Lucky me gets to wear full maternity compression stockings. Very cute! Walking a lot to get the blood flowing and resting with my legs elevated has helped. My doctor says they will most likely go away after I have the baby. I hope so!

Long time no blog!

 

So it's been a really long time since I last wrote on the blog and somethings have change in our lives. As you can tell I'm preggers again for the 3rd time and feeling great! I will be 22 weeks on Tuesday and had my ultrasound done almost 2 weeks ago now. We did not find out what we are having and it's killing me. I love the surprise at the birth, but for some reason I really want to know this time. So this got me looking back at all the old posts I had made during my pregnancies with Will and Addison and I thought I reallly need to be blogging about this pregnancy. I loved looking back at all the funny comments friends and family made and how I was feeling and what I was thinking along the way. So here goes...
like it said, i'm almost 22 weeks and felling great. I'm taking yoga twice a week which helps me feel somewhat normal. I can relieve stress, stretch, talk with other women about thier pregnancies and It gives me sometime away and to myself. I am still running my at home daycare this year and it's going well. I watch Will and Addison, my neighbors Hudson and Owen, and my good friends son Gavin. The kids keep me moving and very busy, so needless to say, I'm taking naps when they do. I have another doctors appointment in 2 weeks to have another ulrasound done to check the babys spine(couldn't get a good reading last time) and to take my gloucose test to check for gestational diabeties. I'm hoping to be in the clear for that. I'm also debating with myself and Derek whether or not I so find out the sex of this baby. Stay tunned to see if I find out!
