Lolli's baby :)

Lolli randomly stuck a stuffed animal up her shirt today, walked over to Poppy and said, "Ya wanna feel the baby in my belly? It's moving already and you might be able to feel it, but it's not ready to come out yet." Adorable! So of course Poppy pretended to be all excited about feeling a "kick". They're so excited to be getting a new baby!

Ultrasound!

Lauren was 18 weeks and 1 day pregnant by her LMP and it was time for her ultrasound! Zach, Lolli, Poppy, Cathy and Rod went along to see the action. They had a short wait in the lobby before being led back to the U/S room. It was a pretty big space which was good since they had a crowd there! As Lauren laid back onto the table, Poppy came over and grabbed ahold of her arm said, "It's okay mom, I'll hold your arm. You'll be great, Mom!" It was so sweet!

The tech gooed up Lauren's belly and started the U/S. Lolli thought it was really neat to see the heart beating but she was bummed not to get to hear it out loud. The girls paid attention for a few minutes and then started playing catch with Rod's gloves. Oh, and Poppy styled Gma Cathy's hair. The tech had to spend a lot of time chasing the baby around because it was on the move. She mentioned repeatedly that Lauren and Zach were going to have their hands full because apparently this baby is ridiculously active.

The estimate said it weighed about 8 ounces and was exactly on par for the 5/17 due date as far as growth is concerned, which is interesting because the OPK indicated that Lauren ovulated 5 days late, so she was concerned about the EDD being pushed back to 5/22, which could easily mean a June baby. But all is good :)

As planned, Lauren and Zach opted not to peek between the baby's legs to find out if it's a boy or girl. They're saving that surprise for the birth day. They haven't met with Lynda yet to go over the results, but the tech did not indicate that anything looked abnormal which is good. Hooray for a healthy baby!!!

17 week midwife visit

Lauren's 17 weeks pregnant today. She, Zach and the girls went to Lynda's for a check-up. This was only the 2nd time Lauren got to hear the heartbeat and the first for everyone else so that was exciting! It was around 148, and the baby was moving around to dodge the waves :) Lynda actually felt it move, which was neat. Lauren's BP was 100/70 so doing good! Her uterus is almost all the way up to her belly button and the baby was up pretty high. It'll be interesting to see what that means in regard to placenta placement whenever they have an ultrasound.

Poppy told Lynda we're going to name the baby Vivica or Poppy. She also asked why Lynda didn't get the baby out after we heard the heartbeat ha ha. Lolli's face lit up like Christmas when she got to hear the heartbeat! She was curious about the doppler goo being blue instead of white.

All in all a good visit!

Barbie Jammin' Jeep

Lolli's been asking for a Barbie Jeep for pretty much her whole life, but I cringe at the price on even used ones. When she made her nightly wish on a star tonight, it was for a Barbie car that fits 2 kids so her and Poppy could drive around next summer. I want so badly to grant her wish but the $ thing still gets to me.

But when we got home, Zach checked the balance on his work reward points account. It looks like when his next round of points get credited, he'll have enough to get the Barbie Jammin' Jeep! Brand new, for free! We're hoping it comes in time for Christmas because they would FLIP OUT. But either way it's gonna be awesome. I can hardly wait :)
