11 Weeks & ivf graduation

Oops! Just found this in my drafts... posting super late but changing the posting date so it stays in order :)

I graduated from my IVF dr. this week!  I love Dr. Wilcox, but I am SO glad to not need his services anymore!  To me, it means I'm nearing the safe zone.  Plus, his appts are butt expensive so it'll be nice to only have $20 copays and everything else covered by insurance. :)

Gender reveal 2.0

On Monday, two of my friends and I threw a combined gender reveal party :)

I'm 6 & 12 weeks behind them, but it's so fun being pregnant with friends!

Everyone came over around 6:30p and we visited a little and then helped ourselves to the ice cream bar that we set up.  It was so yummy!  We had vanilla ice cream with a few toppings to choose from, banana, brownie bits, crushed oreo, sprinkles, crushed graham cracker, strawberry topping, hot fudge and whipped cream.

One of our mutual friends offered to make the gender reveal boxes for us, which was totally sweet & they turned out so so good!

We all opened our boxes and revealed the genders at the same time.  I'm a little special and threw my box in the air.  I'm not sure what I thought was going to happen haha.  Whatever.  I'm pregnant.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the event so I only have these few that I jacked from my friends fb page haha.  Again, I'll blame being pregnant.

Anyway, here's a little video our friends husband put together of the event. Including the reveal...

Drum roll please...

 For fun, I asked my friends on fb whether they thought I was having a boy or a girl. 

70% guessed girl and 

only 30% guessed boy.

Those of you that guess boy are right!

Duke Dangerfield Barney will be joining our family for Christmas this year.

I can't wait for Wyatt to meet his little brother!

9 weeks already?!

I'm already 9 weeks!  

These last 3 weeks have gone much faster than the first 6, thank goodness.  I had an appt with my IVF dr. on Tuesday and we got to see Baby Barney!

Baby B is as big as a green olive this week

So the good news this week is that baby has moved up more toward the middle of my uterus.  The spotting has almost entirely gone away and the dr. told me that I can SLOWLY start resuming responsibilities around the house again.  There are still things off limits, like vacuuming and picking up Wyatt, or anything heavy, but it's nice to know that things are looking better and that I'm approaching the 'safe{r}' zone.

This whole nausea thing is new to me and I hate it.  I didn't experience morning sickness at all when I was pregnant with the boys  and it was amazing.  This time, it's like an all day everything makes me feel nauseous but not enough to throw up.  I guess I should be grateful that I'm at least not throwing up.

Actually, what I've really been grateful for is Jared and Wyatt.  Jared has been beyond helpful keeping the house picked up and clean and Wyatt taken care of while he's at home.  And Wyatt has been SUCH a good boy for me!  It's like he knows I need a little break.  I have some pretty awesome guys in my life :)

Potty training dog

We've had Wyatt's potty in the bathroom for almost 6 months now.  We always have him sit on it before bath time, just for practice.

Lately, he'll follow Jared or I into the bathroom and sit down on his potty while we're in there.  It's one of the main reasons we set it up so early.  So he could learn it's part of daily behavior.  He's started showing more potty cues and will tell me when he's gone poop by coming up and saying "ew"

Well Wyatt has decided that dog needed to be potty trained first. haha
I walked in the bathroom to find this

I have such a fun kid :)
