Hello little one
We had our 3rd appointment today. Not so good :( We're looking at a high risk pregnancy...mommy's blood pressure was high. It was high last time, but not too bad, well today it was pretty high. So now we have to do a 24 hour urine test (yup...don't ask questions it is what is sounds like) and a blood test. Then back to the doctor next week. Chances are I will be put on medication to control my blood pressure. JoJean reassured your daddy and me medication is going to be o.k. and it is better for you and me to take medication then let the blood pressure go untreated.
The good news...we had an unexpected ultrasound! JoJean couldn't find your heartbeat with the dopler so we got to squeeze in with the ultrasound techs. And as soon as you popped on the screen you waved :) Unfortunately daddy didn't catch this. But you're quite the active baby, we got to see you move all over the place, so much that the ultrasound tech even commented on your activity! Daddy claims you mooned him ;-)
In four weeks we go back for a normal, at least I hope normal, appointment. At that time we will do all the prenatal testing for genetic diseases and do our gestational diabetes test. We're also going to have out official ultrasound...and at that time we'll be able to find out if you're a boy or girl if we want. We're still on the fence!
Love you!

I can't believe I forgot!
I forgot the most important thing about daddy's "staycation!" He will be planting the GARDEN! We'll see how the upside down tomato plant hanger works and his efforts to keep the animals out goes. But I'm excited, and you should be too, for all of the fresh veggies we're going to have! Tomatos, romaine lettuce, onions (mommy's favorite)-walla walla and red-, cucumbers, japalenos (ahh!), green and yellow peppers, green beans (o.k. maybe this is my favorite), and zuchini...and um, I think that's it! Anyway, look forward to some good fresh veggies :) And we'll have plenty to give away if anyone out there wants some!
Your first concert, daddy's "staycation" and the debate cont...
Well Peanut, I hope you are nice and rested, we didn't get much sleep yesterday. But I'm sure you were wide awake jamming last night...you enjoyed (at least I hope) your first concert! And in true Aubree fashion, mommy choose to take to to the classics first...yup, the Billy Joel Elton John Face 2 Face concert was your "first." It was wonderful :) Not feeling so hot by the time Billy Joel took the stage for his solo set, but at least mommy got to watch Elton perform and of course, he performed all of my favorites! Hope you enjoyed...I think daddy might have even enjoyed it a little!
Well, it's Memorial Day weekend (and your mommy's 30th! birthday...I will NOT be turning 3o this year, we are postponing it until next year so I can enjoy a margarita:)). We've got a lot planned. "Aunt" Lisa is moving today...don't worry, just into a house in Port Huron, so she'll be close...and daddy is helping her move, I'm going to supervise (sometimes growing you is a better present than you can imagine!). We're also off to Lexington to visit Chris, who is our contractor! (Side note, your father just got out of the shower...tmi probably coming...and stood in the middle of the living room and did his best Tom Cruise-Risky Business-pose and says "ROCKET MAN!" He really likes Elton. Silly I worned you!). We're headed to see Chris because we found out yesterday that we will be getting the MSHDA property improvement loan! Which means A LOT of construction going to be happening around here! We're getting all new carpeting in the house (daddy will like that since he doesn't like the laminate flooring in bedroom), you'll be gettting a brand new, never used by anyone, bedroom and we're re doing the bathroom! I can't wait to take a nice bath! We're also going to work on that bumpy driveway and the basement. So lots will be going on here. And then the rest of the weekend will be filled packing and purging stuff from the house to get ready to temporarily move out. It's a great excuse for some much needed spring cleaning. And we'll head to the Hilewsky house on Sunday for their annual Memorial Day party...maybe next year you can come too!
And...the best news of the day....I think I have convinced daddy to see "my" side of the great debate. Yup, you might just be the best surprise EVER! We'll see if he sticks to his guns on this one, but I thought of the best arguement for NOT finidng out this morning! And he said..."oh, that's a great idea, that might have just convinced me!" I'll keep you posted.
Keep growing little lime! Love you!!!

The Great Debate
Today you are 11 weeks and 1 day! I can't believe it...but I am still waiting for next week, when supposedly the magic switch flips and all of the morning sickness disappears. I'm hopeful, but not counting on it ;-)
There has been so much discussion about finding out what you are...even though we can't find out until mid July. Mommy says wait and let it be a surprise, honestly, how many true surprises do we have in our lives? Daddy says, "I need to know NOW!" So mommy is working on daddy, and daddy is working on mommy. So we'll see who wins out.
I know everyone says what about paint colors and all of the things you need for the baby...but here's something you should know about your mommy right now...I am entirely way too cheap to buy all cute pink and brown baby items or green and blue stuff, because if you have a little sibling, I'd like to use the same things for them! So who knows, you might just have a lot of yellow for your first few months...which isn't an entirely bad color :) I happen to look quite nice in yellow, so I am sure you will too!
Either way, your daddy and I have agreed on one thing, your name will be kept a secret. We have shared a few of our ideas with some people, but the official name will be kept a secret. One reason is we'd really like to meet you before we give you something you're going to be stuck with for the rest of your life. We have picked out some beautiful (we think) names that each have a significant meaning to us...so we hope you like whatever we choose.
So my food for thought for you this week is...if you want to be a real surprise think about positioning yourself just right at our next ultrasound so we can't find out what you are ;-)
Love you!!!
