I have new Beaner pics. Yet, I haven't looked at them once since the Dr.s office yesterday. I don't mean to jump boat or anything, but I think it's time I do what I do best and pursue the answers. I am going to make myself another appointment, tomorrow in fact, in order to discuss with my normal doctor a second consult visit for ultrasound. The ultrasound doctor yesterday was the bearer of bad news, and I'm beginning to get suspicious. He placed our baby below the 10th percentile for fetal growth at this point. This was based on leg/head/stomach measurements. Yet, when those measurements are computed in the GE ultrasound machine, the machine approximates baby weight at 2 pounds. This makes no sense when you begin to research/know/are told that a 2 pound baby at 27 weeks pregnant is perfectly normal. Yet, if the measurements of the baby is small, then how can the baby be 2 pounds and vice versa? Unless.... either 1. something is wrong or 2. the measurements are off. Fundal height is up to date and correct and my weight gain has certainly been obvious and regular, so I really don't know what is going on.
The major questions arise when we look back at the pattern with our ultrasound doctor from the beginning. In the beginning, he said I had a heart shaped uterus. The next appointment that was quickly dismissed and apparently no longer an issue. Then it came up again as something just to keep an eye on. Last appointment he told us the baby was measuring small which is why we went again yesterday to see if growth continued, which it did, just not at the rate he thinks it should be going. Then yesterday he said "Did I mention last time your baby was breached? Well it still is." No, he did NOT mention that. And then I got all concerned about it, except for again if you do the research and gain knowledge from knowledgeable sources (other moms, other nurses, and other doctors) you will find that a breached baby this early is still okay because babies could turn up to 38 weeks and some even days before delivery. So why does this doctor seem so concerned with it?
He seems to be fairly intelligent and he is a nice guy, he is older so he has experience. Which is exactly why I want a second opinion, either from an obgyn ultrasound doctor or a maternal fetal medicine doctor. Yes, they might be annoyed at me about being so direct with my requests when I am not the knowledgeable one, yet, I am the one that will or will not have a baby and that could depend on how involved I choose to be.

Fast week slow days
Somehow it is already Friday, even though each day seemed to drag on and on and on! I am getting really bored and I don't really feel like cleaning every minute of every day. Therefore, cleaning is still a viable option but not a fun one! I have finally sewed all the squares together for my quilt and have yet to put a backing and maybe a middle in. Once again, I have the time to do it, but now I lack proper motivation. I still feel so good about finally getting the pieces together I am not ready to break into the finish! Same with scrapbooking...I finally finished the year 2008 and now have 2009 to complete, not to mention 2010. However, if I get all my stuff out again, the living room floor will be cluttered for another week or two, and then the vicious cycle of thinking my house is so messy begins again! So I am at a stand still. During the past few days I have worked on my class work, arranged my NFL fantasy teams to be just right, and have caught up on an amazing amount of television, mostly comprised of baby shows and different TV series shows. The weather is nice today but my left lower back/hip seems to think it is okay to stab me like needles, so I haven't done much walking this week. Beaner kicks continually and usually curls into my lower left hip, so I am thinking I might blame the Bean on this back pain! Don't worry, Bean's tough, he/she doesn't mind being blamed. In fact, if I were reading this out loud as I am writing Bean would probably laugh with mischief!
I looked up a moby wrap today. I decided I want to try one out which also made me decide I can make it myself. The video makes it look so fancy and complicated, but it is simply a five yard piece of cloth by 20 inches wide. So basically, to make it, all I have to do is buy a five yard piece of cloth and cut it to the proper width. And viola! I have a baby carrier. But this brings us back to the sewing machine, which means I will have to pull it out again and start this new project when I still haven't finished my quilt! I think to motivate myself maybe I shouldn't start my wrap until I finish my quilt. And really, there is no sewing required even, except I want to make the edges look nice.
When Dave gets home today he said he was going to wash and wax the car. I will be very impressed if this gets done! I will be even more impressed if he can talk me into helping! I have some exciting news but cannot share it this early as of yet. I have to work out some details first then I will share. And no, I still don't know what I am having, no I still don't know where I am moving, and no, I am not having twins. So maybe it is not that exciting, but you'll have to wait till next post to judge the excitement yourself!

Baby Gear
Shopping for baby gear can be really fun, especially if you
are a mom-to-be without a job, social agenda, or school! In other words, lately
I have really enjoyed looking at baby items. The number one thing a new parent
must purchase is a car seat. Baby cannot even come home from the hospital
without one!
The journey of car seat searching began several months ago when I made my baby
registries. Without any prior knowledge on the topic, Dave and I chose two car
seats from Babies R Us: one was a stroller car seat combo and the other was a
car seat you leave in your vehicle and cannot carry baby around in. The
stroller combo caught our eye mostly because of the stroller. We liked the
three wheels (or so we thought) and Dave was very excited that the thing had cup
holders! (Yes, let a guy go shopping with you and you find the REAL things that
matter :) !! ) Upon first glance at the car seat, everything appeared to be
'safe' and just fine. To see our pick, go to: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3904359
The second car seat we picked out was similar to a Chico, Graco, Evenflo or
Cosco. We liked the size, seeming to be 'safer' than a smaller car seat and
there 'appeared' to be comfy padding and necessary safety features. We
picked one out only with the comparison of the other car seats in the store.
I'm sure our choice looked similar to this: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3882167
Just this week I deleted both car seats from our Babies R Us registry. After a
little more research and suggestions from friends, I decided to add the Combi
Cocorro car seat combo. Without seeing it in person, I have decided that I
love, love, love the color, and the seemingly ease of use and carrying the baby
around were also pluses. The car seat can be taken in and out of the car and
also attached to the cocorro stroller. The Combi is made in Japan. Although
this car seat looks fun and appears to be great in the beginning, I have also
decided against this car seat as well. Why? First of all, I couldn’t find many
tests or reviews on the safety and ratings of this seat. Second, it does not
come with a base which means every time you want to carry baby in it, you must
take it out of the car only to re-strap it in upon your next trip. This didn't
seem as 'safe' to me, because without a base, you have to get it in perfectly
every time to have maximum safety. Also, because it is so compact, I started to
think maybe smaller isn't always better, especially when it comes to keeping
baby safe. I would feel safer with more bulk, more protection. Then, when I
really got picky I decided I didn't like that it doesn't have a sun/wind visor
on it and the stroller itself, other than light weight and easy to haul, really
had no features. I still think this is a neat car seat to look at and probably
easy in terms of carrying weight, but I just wasn't sold. To see the one I thought
I wanted, click here: http://www.combi-intl.com/Products/Item.aspx?Item=12&Color=7

Four months ago
when we began our car seat shopping, we
really didn’t know what we were getting into, what we needed, or what mattered.
Our first pick came mostly based on the stroller, with the car seat as ‘just a
part’ of the package. The second pick seemed a bit safer as we did read the
features listed and compared it to the car seats next to it. The third pick we
put a little more thought into, mostly seeing convenience, quality, and compact
size.

of course I was pregnant and I knew I would
love this baby no matter what. But the difference today is that I physically
feel the life inside of me moving, kicking, and rolling. I have heard the
heartbeat
and seen the silhouette of our child. I’m not sure if many parents go through
this or not, but when reality sets in and you can feel the life, you start
thinking differently about everything. Now that I ‘look’ pregnant and I feel
the baby every day, there is a new connection. This reality is getting stronger
that one day soon I will have this baby in my arms, on the outside of my body.

Dave and I never
forget about our terrible car-totaling
crash about three years ago. When I think about the damage that happened to the
car and the simple miracle we are okay, I start to think about what if baby was
in the back seat? And when you have lived through such an experience, you can
really picture vividly the reality of the situation. And when I think about
putting our baby in the first car seat, I now cannot see the advantages to that
particular seat. So then I start to research safety ratings, crash tests, and
all the little extras that keep our little bundle of joy safe.

Without knowing
where to go next, I again recruit my
husband, hoping this time he will see more than just the perks of cup holders
on a stroller! This time we do our research. We watch videos, we read reviews,
and we find, simply put, the best. Unfortunately, ‘the best’ also happens to be
the most expensive. I cannot say from my own experience because I have not even
purchased the seat yet, but hours have been poured into reading other parent’s
reviews from various sites. We have
finally decided on a car seat combo that we like, that we trust, that has, over
and over, proven to be the best overall when you read what everyone else says
about it. We really like the Britax Chaperone seat and stroller combo. The
chaperone is a carrying car seat that has a base you install in the car. The
seat itself can be taken on and off the base and easily attached to the
stroller. The stroller itself can be used alone or with the car seat for
various configurations. The car seat has been tested in real collisions,
unlike other car seats that are tested
in lab settings. The car seat itself only weighs 10 pounds, which is comparable
to the ‘lightweight’ Combi. Also, the car seat has the additional features I
liked, with a visor for sun and rain. The stroller has been reviewed as very
well-made, sturdy. The bad reviews say it is bulky and heavy, but that is
almost a welcome thing to us, because we feel that means it is of better
quality and more sturdy. An added benefit to the chaperone is that it can
actually be taken off the base and installed in a second car without the base.
The idea here is if the base is in mommy’s car and daddy has to pick the child
up from daycare but does not have the base, all he has to do is strap the car
seat right into the car!

Safety 1st
car seats also received high safety
ratings and reviews, but time and again people said they are not as quality
made as the Britax. And I can understand why! What is the third complaint of
Britax? Cost!!! The American-made car seat rated #1 is also the most expensive.
But if you know me, you know I have magical ways of finding deals J. The total
cost for
the car seat and the stroller on the website itself is $538.00!!! This same set
can be found at Amazon for $479.00. But trust me, I don’t stop there! I
searched the Internet far and wide for two hours this morning. I would find
sites that have both, but not sold in a package. I would find discounts, but
then one would be out of stock. I found a really good site, strollers.com that
sells the combo set for $379.00. Now I knew I was getting closer! Oh, I should
mention that Britax.com has a combo special for $299.00 IF you like the only
overstocked color offered, which is navy blue diamonds. The fabric isn’t bad,
but it isn’t my first choice. Which is what sent me searching elsewhere for the
same deal with a different color. Now, the stroller.com site also offered a
promo discount that, viola!—made the combo $303.00 with free shipping! I saw
this and was very excited! Then I saw there were only three left! So I called
the company. After all of that, I find out they haven’t updated their site and
the deal is no longer available for that color! Bummer. But, don’t give up
right? So, then I went to diapers.com and looked around. They offered the
package deal for $379.00. As I was just about to settle and pay the money for
the color I wanted, I had a last minute idea! I called the company, and lo and
behold, they match other dealers! Which means, I have, at last, found my combo
car seat and stroller for $303!! Dave of course made me be open to other combo
brands and to check costs. I found most other combos that would have decent
safety ratings were still going for 250-300 total. So, to have the one I want
and trust, which is originally $538 for $303, I definitely feel safe with this
decision! To see our final decision, visit:

The rest of the baby gear will probably be
used and bough off of Craig’s list, which I am a-okay with! We have a beautiful
brand new bassinet and we will soon have the ‘American Dream’ car seat combo. I
might be eating ramen noodles for the rest of the month, but as long as I take
my prenatals, all will be successful.

Outtings
Tuesday morning my friend invited me to Bible study at the church. I went, thinking it would be good to get out of the house and maybe have some daily structure and social connection, other than sitting my house alone all day. I figured there would be about 8-10 people. Nope! We get there and walk into a room with almost fifty women! I guess that 'connection' is available!
Wednesday morning I worked on my quilt quite a bit. As my first quilt ever, things proved difficult when trying to sew strips together both horizontally and vertically! Oh well, the baby probably won't notice the absolute mismatch of corners! The project kept me busy all afternoon at least!
Today, Friday, my eight month pregnant friend Sarah picked me up and we stopped at Starbucks for some pumpkin spice chai teas. Then, we headed over to the base to attend a Budgeting for Baby class. The class was actually very informative and organized: two things I did not expect! At the end of class, they give each expectant mother a gender neutral layette set worth $75.00 and we get to pick out a baby boy or baby girl blanket. Because I do not know what I am having, I chose a baby girl blanket. My mom made me a beautiful baby boy blanket last year and so if it is a boy I will be set! And now if it is a girl I am set! Sarah and I then went to Rumple New Skins, which is a baby store with some new and mostly gently used items. We had a good time just looking around. When we arrived back at my place, I was pleasantly surprised to see the co sleeper/bassinet which my mom had ordered for me was at my door! Sarah and I spent half the time trying to unzip the gear from the bag it came in! The zipper would not budge and for no obvious reason! Finally, (like 20 minutes later) we were able to get started! Two pregnant women bending, twisting, lifting--it would have been a site to behold! But together we managed to assemble into the co sleeping position, which is a rectangle with one side lowered that sits next to the bed. For our moving situation and timing, this is the perfect option for baby right now. We plan to look at cribs when we get to our new place in January and go from there. The co sleeper is very nice and very flexible as far as what you can do with it. We can use it as a bassinet, a small play pen, a traveling bed, or the actual co sleeper. I am excited for Dave to get home and see our hard work and beautiful new gift!
The Nebraska Corn huskers play the Washington Huskies tomorrow in college football, in Seattle. We thought about going but decided our big TV would be just fine, after seeing the tickets began at $125.00!! That is more than we would have to pay to go to an NFL game in Seattle! Go Big Red!
The Colts play on Sunday and Beaner has told me his/her eager anticipation for the game, in hopes that they turn there previous game play around and possibly step it up! So, this weekend will be the Beaner/Mommy/Daddy (?) football weekend. When the games are on, the Bean is kicking!

Super Hero
Hobbling down the street and
Trying to take a little breather-
Breaking for the day underneath
The leafy cedar
Looking forward as the hill
Seems always longer
Steeper distant-
Feeling sharp pains every step
Every instant.
Three days now no more relaxing walks
To take-
Inside the house catch your breath-
Catch a break.
Labor and Delivery it's time to plan
A visit-
But not for the big moment "This is it!"
No instead to find out that
The ligament is pulled-
Strained stretched done for now-
The uterus its job to hold.
No more outside walks,
No more cool breeze on the face.
Finding the bed to be
The new molding place.
A day before the party
The graduation the big day-
Where friends and food will gather
Playing games the night away,
And don't think this pregnant lady will
Roll the dice to chance,
A big soft recliner keeps me rollin
The party still will dance.
So no I'm not the super hero
I'm the princess in distress-
And my super hero husband
Did the house chores did the rest.
He cleaned all day and rearranged
My house to hold the fun,
He pampered me and cared for me
And when I thought he's done-
He ran the errands, set the stage
He was the greatest host.
A daddy in the making-
The one I love the most!
The night was such a huge success
The show does go on-
My super hero made it possible to play
Almost till dawn-
And when the guests left for the night
And we went fast asleep-
I knew my super hero was ready,
For any giant future leap.
This Beaner will have the greatest
Daddy of them all,
For all the love he shows mommy
Daddy knows his Daddy call.
Trying to take a little breather-
Breaking for the day underneath
The leafy cedar
Looking forward as the hill
Seems always longer
Steeper distant-
Feeling sharp pains every step
Every instant.
Three days now no more relaxing walks
To take-
Inside the house catch your breath-
Catch a break.
Labor and Delivery it's time to plan
A visit-
But not for the big moment "This is it!"
No instead to find out that
The ligament is pulled-
Strained stretched done for now-
The uterus its job to hold.
No more outside walks,
No more cool breeze on the face.
Finding the bed to be
The new molding place.
A day before the party
The graduation the big day-
Where friends and food will gather
Playing games the night away,
And don't think this pregnant lady will
Roll the dice to chance,
A big soft recliner keeps me rollin
The party still will dance.
So no I'm not the super hero
I'm the princess in distress-
And my super hero husband
Did the house chores did the rest.
He cleaned all day and rearranged
My house to hold the fun,
He pampered me and cared for me
And when I thought he's done-
He ran the errands, set the stage
He was the greatest host.
A daddy in the making-
The one I love the most!
The night was such a huge success
The show does go on-
My super hero made it possible to play
Almost till dawn-
And when the guests left for the night
And we went fast asleep-
I knew my super hero was ready,
For any giant future leap.
This Beaner will have the greatest
Daddy of them all,
For all the love he shows mommy
Daddy knows his Daddy call.

It's Official
My new title: I am officially the coolest house wife ever! In the past two weeks I have baked homemade bread, made homemade blackberry jam (from berries I picked myself!), cleaned the entire house, completed an entire scrap book, set up a mutual fund, opened a savings account, enrolled for a certification class, prepared meals from scratch, created two baby registries, and the icing on the cake: I am now 100% football season ready, after creating my NFL.com fantasy football team!!!!!!!! WHOOO HOOOOO!!!!
So top that June Cleaver! The best thing about finishing college in August is having all the time in the world to watch every preseason and regular season game! This is pretty easy to do with a DVR! :) So I may not make money and I may not be getting any more college education, but I am a highly efficient NFL football game watcher :) Beaner loves it too and I know this for a fact because when big things happen on the big screen, Beaner kicks and flips and cheerleads along! Plus, I think we have telepathy when it comes to football :) So my offical new NFL draft team name is Beaner's Blitzers. If you don't know what a blitz is, that is when the line breaks out of ordinary play in order to surprise or come up behind the quarterback for a sack. :) See, told you I'm the coolest house wife ever!
In other Beaner news: next doctor's appointments are not yet set but soon will be scheduled for three to four weeks out. Until then, I must stock up on the nachos, chicken wings, sparkling alcoholic free punch, and watch the games :)
