Week 16: Gender Time!

Exciting news for the Vickery's this week, and I can't wait to share with everyone! I am a little over 17 weeks pregnant, and I realize I have been slacking! I missed blogging about my 15th week,  I was so sick and in bed all day everyday, so there really was nothing to share! 

Last week was my 16th week and it was over the 24th of July! Usually every 24th I find myself up in Spanish fork with my grandparents, lighting fireworks, and going to fiesta days! Sadly, this year my hubby had to work, so we stayed in Cedar and went swimming together! After swimming, we decided to go get tropical smoothie and drive around to see all the local fireworks! 

I was really bummed this week because I thought I was going to find out the gender of baby V. We arrived at the doctors office and my doctor told me she didn't want to give me my first ultrasound until I was 20 weeks. I was super sad because 20 weeks was a month away, and we were really anxious to find out. My friends had a gender reveal party planned for me that day, but we had to cancel. :( So of course, if you know me, when I want something I make it happen! I found a really great doctors office in cedar, (my other doctor was in St. George) and I told them my situation, they were more than happy to get me into their office for an ultrasound! 

Tuesday July 29th, we had an appointment for our first ultrasound at 11:15 am. I loved the doctors office, everyone was so kind and gave me all the answers I needed! In the ultrasound room we got to see our baby! The first thing the doctor tells us is "it looks like its a girl!" I was so happy, and I immediately threw it in Logan's face, because he was certain it was a boy. Then all of a sudden the baby moves, and the doctor says"oh hold on I see something sticking out, now I am not sure if its a girl or a boy." The baby would not stop moving, and it was taking forever for my doctor to find a result! The doctor told me we would have to wait a few more weeks to find out for sure. I immediately got so sad because I was back to square one! 

All of a sudden the baby turns over and spreads its little legs and BAM it was for sure a boy! Beckham Bret Vickery is on his way, and is happy and healthy! We are so excited to bring our baby boy into the world come January 2015!

Week 14:

So I decided to blog every week from this point on about my pregnancy! I wish I started sooner but since I am officially in my second trimester I thought this would be a perfect time to start showing my progress and talking about what went on this week! Now everyone says, "Second trimester is a breeze", well so far that is not the case for me. Not only am I way more sick than I ever was during my first trimester, but I also have zero energy, and pretty bad Round Ligament pains. Not to mention I had to take a trip to the hospital because I was having really bad pains in my back and side. I got really nervous that something was wrong with little baby V. 

After two long hours of getting tests done and lots of waiting, I finally got an ultrasound, and baby V was doing better than ever! In fact, that little guy/girl couldn't stop moving! The baby also decided to give mom and a dad a nice wave to let us know he/she was doing just fine! (We should find out the sex of the baby really soon!) That was a tear jerker for me, and logan was beyond fascinated! The doctor confirmed that everything with baby was perfect and healthy, it turns out I just had some really bad ligament pain, and a bladder infection. My whole family was so worried because of course this had to happen over our family reunion, so my aunt Deb had my uncle Todd, and my cousin Conner come to the hospital and give me a blessing. I am so thankful for that because not only did I feel better, but I truly felt the spirit, and the love my whole family has for me, and this little baby of ours. After that it was smooth sailing for the rest of the night! The next day we had our family reunion on this little lake in Stansburry, Utah. It was so much fun! We played games and ate amazing food. It was so good to see all of my dads side of the family, there were so many people there and I didn't know everyone! Week 14 has come to an end, and I am so excited to see what's in store for week 15! Stay tuned :)
