Thank heaven for little GIRLS!
ITS A GIRL! Her name is Kaylee Faith and she is due October 24,2010. She is healthy and growing well. We had a great visit it was so neat to see her on the monitor. We were able to see her moving and yawning. I loved seeing Johns face when we found out we were going to a baby girl. He had a great big smile on his face and of course I was crying.I was also thinking of two people my grandmother and my little brother wishing they were there.
After our appointment we went to target and started our registry. It was so weird because we had avoided this section for so long and now we were there shopping for our little miracle. John and I are so happy that words can not express how we are feeling right now. Next weekend we are going to Babies R US to register and get her a couple of things for her room. We did decided we are painting her room a pale mint green and her bedding will be baby elephants.
Oh I forgot to mention the night before our appointment I woke up with horrible abdominal cramps and our ultrasound showed it was actually braxton hicks contractions. It worried us at first but Dr. Schilling told us that its not uncommon for me to have them right now but they normally happen later on in pregnancy. I just have to monitor them and if the happen for frequent I have to go to the hospital to get medication to stop them. He said I have to stay off my feet and drink plenty of fluids.
Tomorrow is Father's Day so we are heading to Fayetteville to see spend time with our families. We get to show off our ultrasound pictures of Kaylee. Sorry it took so long to post this blog we had a bad storm on monday and it fried our modem so we were without the internet until yesterday afternoon. Our next appointment is July 12th it will be a check up and I think they will do the glucose test not sure. More to come later :0 )

20 wks
I m feeling great and we find out on Tuesday what we are having. It seems like these last couple of days are taking forever to get here. We are so ready to find out!!!
The baby has been moving and kicking alot this week. John was able to feel a kick for the first time which was amazing to him. He loves to feel for any baby kicks or movements. We also got to see my belly move and see when the baby kicks. We now spend our evenings just watching and feeling my belly.
This weekend I made one of the hardest trips in my life. I went with my parents to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina to see my little brother before he deployed. It was hard to let him go but I know God is with him and he will protect him. We had a great time while we were at Camp Lejeune lots of memories that I will never forget. So today my little brother Lcpl Rodriguez, Jeffrey A. deployed to Afghanistan at 9am. Not a day will go by that I wont think about him. I will pray for him and all the troops everyday for a safe return home. The only communication we will have is just to write letters. We are also allowed to send packages that have batteries,gum, granola bars, and socks. I miss him so much already. My family is strong in faith and we support each other through this hard time. Our great news on Tuesday will bring everyones moral back up. God gave us this baby at the right time.

15 week check up
Well we had another great appointment. We got to hear our baby's heart beat and it amazes me every time! I cant believe I have a baby inside of me. The doctor said he wants me to gain more weight because I m a little behind on my weight. I also had some blood work done which is for mental illnesses, downs syndrome, and my iron levels. And my results came back today and everything was negative/normal. I m also still dealing with a low blood sugar and Dr. Schillings says that I m just very sensitive and I just have to eat more small meals. We are so greatful to God for giving us another great appointment. Our next visit will be June 15th and we ll be able to find out what sex our baby will be. We cant wait to find out!
We also have our names picked our for a boy we have Jayden Perry and for a girl Kaylee Faith.
Yesterday we went to target and bought our baby its first gift I took a picture and its posted at the top. We re ready do more shopping soon!

April
A lot has happened this month. Easter was great first we went to his parents church and then both of our families got to spend the day together, which was really nice. The food was very tasty. Only thing was we missed two people my grandmother and my little brother Jeffrey(he was at 29 palms in California for training).
Then my allergies were bothering me because of all the pollen and I also had laryngitis for almost 2 weeks. I m also having a low blood sugar problem which leaves me weak and tired. The doctor said I have to eat 6 small meals throughout the day and I have to carry candy with me at all time.
John and I also went down to Valdosta to visit my brother in-law for a weekend. It was nice to go down there and see them. It was four years since we last went down to visit them. We had a great time.

Finally this weekend my little brother came home from California and Im so excited to see him. We havent seen or talked to him in one month(they didnt allow him to call home). It was hard on all of us since we were used to calling or texting everyday. He ll get to see me my little belly :). His deployment date is June 9,2010 to Afghanistan, and I m not looking forward to that day. So we are heading to Fayetteville for a weekend of family time.

12 wks
YAY!!! Im 12 wks! I have been doing pretty good I didnt get morning sickness at all so I m pretty lucky according to lots of friends and family. But there is one thing that has bothered me and its my allergies. Its pollen season here in Georgia so my sinuses have been killing me. I just got my voice back two days ago because of all the sneezing and coughing caused me to get laryngitis. Which was not fun at all.
Now I m doing a lot better with my allergies I mostly try to stay inside. My next visit to Dr. Schilling is still May 4th and I ll be 15 weeks by then. We cant wait to see peanut again.
John took some pictures of me and my little belly at 12 wks. Its weird seeing myself with a belly since Ive never had one before. Its neat to see Gods work right before your eyes creating this little being inside me.
