Finally, I know, an update!

Okay, so I know. I'm horrible at keeping people updated via my Baby Blog! Do you know how hard it is to find some time to sit down and write about everything? I'm sorry friends and family! Anyway.. here are the latest updates!

Baby King is growing and growing. I'm 14 weeks pregnant - can you believe how fast the time flies?! I find out what I'm having Nov. 25th and get to hear the heartbeat for the first time Nov. 4th at my 16 week appt. As soon as I find out what I'm having, I'm going on a baby shopping spree! It's right before Thanksgiving, and we all know the sales that go on after Thanksgiving! I can't wait! I'm so afraid I'm going to spoil my kid ROTTEN! Anyway, we officially have a girl's name if we have a girl... Madilynn Michelle King. We are working on a boy's name. We agreed on Bryce, but I'm not sure I 100% like it.

The last appt we went to was at my 12th week, and I swear we have a future sports star on our hands. Little baby King was moving and kicking and swinging her/his arms like no other. It was hard for the doctor to even take a picture, because she/he wouldn't stay still! We got to see all the little fingers and even the toes. Talk about one amazing feeling. I kept laughing and smiling, which only made the baby move even more. I have a new ultrasound pic. You guys can find it on my Myspace www.myspace.com/californiabrooke - if you don't have a Myspace, all I can say is GET ONE! Most of my updates are on there, and I get on that a lot. Buuut.. for the people who do not have one (and want nothing to do w/ it), I'll be posting the baby pic soon. I promise! There are also pics on my Myspace of my little preggo belly.

I am starting to feel little flutters of my baby moving, but I'm not feeling any hard kicks, yet. The baby is still too small for me to feel anything. All organs are officially done making and now it's time for Little King's brain to grow and development! He/she is also growing the little hairs all over his/her body. He/she is working on making faces and can even suck his/her little thumb.

I am so excited to find out what I'm having! I really want a little girl, but of course, I'll be happy either way. So far, our baby is healthy and growing at the perfect rate. My levels are great and all my tests came back perfect. I have to say (and maybe brag) about how lucky I feel.. and am. My life has been a rollercoaster of good & awful times, but I truly feel it's all led up to this moment. I'm meant to be a Momma. I can't wait to be able to hear my baby scream in that hospital room and I can't wait to kiss it's little forehead and hold her/her against me.

Talk about my emotions! My mom and I and some family friends went to the Calico Festival and we caught glimpse of a little newborn. We ended up talking to the mom. The baby was 9 weeks premature, and was born in July. He just got out of the hospital and weighs 6 pounds. He was a pure picture of perfection. His name was Kevin. Looking at him made my eyes water and seeing his Momma take such precaution against taking care of him just made my heart melt! Then... I got uncomfortable walking around for 3 hours, started getting hot, and got a bad headache. I had to go home and lay down for a little while. After taking 2 Tylenol and drinking a bottle of water, I felt fine. Unfortunately, my headaches have been HORRIBLE during my pregnancy, but I'm dealing w/ them.

Well, that's all for now. I'll update more often, I promise!!!!!!!

With love,
Brooke & Baby
