Makena's Nursery

Congratulations to Ashley and Troy Haigh on the birth of their beautiful daughter Westyn Marie Haigh. She was born yesterday March, 18th at 12:59 pm. Mom and daughter are doing great. She is absolutely beautiful!!!

On another note....I finished putting together Makena's nursery this week. It's so fun to decorate a little girl's room. Here are some pictures. I also went to the doctor this morning for a post-car-accident ultrasound to make sure everything looks okay and to do the glucose-test. Everything looks great - she's got some really long legs (uh-oh...do I see a basketball player in the future?)

Car Accident - so scary!!!

Friday afternoon was very traumatic for Makena and me! I was driving north on I-5 and a kid in a jacked-up Chevy Tahoe lost control and swerved into my lane. His back right bumper collided with my back left bumper and pushed me into the right hand lane. It happened so fast - thank goodness he pulled to the side immediately and gave me all his information (thank God he was insured!) I was so shaken up that I could barely talk - I just kept thinking what if Makena is not okay? The police were on the scene within minutes and I was able to drive to the hospital after that. The E.R. doctor hooked me up to a machine that monitors contractions to make sure I wasn't having any. They were worried the force of the impact could have torn the placenta from the uterine wall. (scary stuff, huh?) But I wasn't having contractions or any cramping/bleeding plus her heartbeat sounded strong. They did some urine tests and found a little bit of blood so they kept testing until it came back clear. All-in-all it could have been a lot worse. My poor car is in the shop now and hopefully will be fixed in the next couple weeks. I felt the worst for Greg - that is not a phone call any husband wants to get. My parents were here this weekend so we just hung out with them and tried to take it easy. Hope all of you had a better weekend then I did!

Halfway there....

We hit the halfway point! The second trimester seems to be going by a lot faster than the first trimester. Although I'm starting to have back pain already which means the third trimester is going to be painful. Our next appointment is March 19th for the blood sugar test....which is really funny since I sell a blood sugar test for a living. :) I told Greg he didn't have to go to this one since they are done doing ultrasounds. I always look forward to hearing her heartbeat though. There really is nothing like the feeling you get when you hear your baby's heart beating! Here's a picture of the belly - 22 weeks, 2 days. I've gained 9 pounds so far but sometimes it feels like 90. No swelling or vericose veins yet....keeping my fingers crossed. Hope everyone has a great week!
