Baby Crib

I was asked to add pictures of our most recent purchase for the baby room. Since we don't have the room painted and done yet, we also haven't the crib put together just yet. So anyhow, here's a stock photo of what the Crib will look like, along with the changing table that we're also thinking about getting. Looks awfully nice if you ask me...

Dr Visits, Hospital Visits, Oh MY!!!!

I have been going to the doctor on a regular basis, about every 3-4 weeks to have my blood pressure taken, as for some reason it doesn't like to be stable. I am now on blood pressure medicine, which is okay for the baby and really helping out with the blood pressure itself. I am currently getting readings of 120/77 or in that area. Which is good. I am really enjoying my OB, Dr. Kay Thatcher, she is honest, to the point, but is looking out for mine and Baby Loseke's best interest. She did refer me to a perineonatologist with Methodist hospital. (Let the freak out begin)...

I had an appointment set up for last Wednesday with Dr. Andrew Robertson, at Methodist. I can honestly say I don't think I have cried so much before a Dr's appointment. We met with his nurse, Kim, who is probably one of the nicest nurses in the world. We went right in and started our 20 week ultrasound. Dr. Robertson came in soon after that, impressive for a Dr's office to actually see the Dr. right away, he started to explain the ultrasound and the process of what he was looking for, it was the most amazing ultrasound i have ever seen. Derek was along with me, so it was a great joy for the both of us. We actually got to see the blood flow to the baby, the baby's weight and length... the best news was Dr. Robertson, said we have a healthy baby on the way, he wants me to continue watching my blood pressure and taking the medicine, but other than that everything looked great!!!! I will continue to see him for the remainder of the pregnancy, but that is just to monitor the growth. So please keep me and Baby Loseke in your prayers as we continue our journey.

Moving Up

So it has been exactly one month since our last post...so we should probably get something new and exciting up here. It has been a crazy month for all of us. First Derek and I have moved out of the apartment and into much needed space in the form of a house. We love the house....we are making minor updates as we go, Derek in fact is currently putting in a new kitchen sink. The house is great for our upcoming needs. We are pretty much moved in with the basics. We are completing projects and hope to start on the Baby's Room soon. You can see pictures of the house and its updates on Derek's website www.unplannedthoughts.com under the photo section. There are some major improvements done, which just happen to be with a can of paint. Derek's mom has been working very hard on helping out with painting since I am not really wanting to be around the fumes. My mom actually worked on redoing the countertops, which look amazing and we have gotten many "we love the countertops" on. Without the two of them, we would be in a lot worse condition of the house. We will keep you updated on all the house changes. Hopefully we will be able to have a house warming party soon.
