Belly at week 28

Christmas Eve! It is getting close and I am getting big.

Belly at week 26

We went to the Metallica concert on December 10th and she did not like the opening act. She kicked and would not stop moving, but then Metallica came on and nothing just peace in my belly until she got hungry around 11:30. I forgot to take pics before and during the concert so these are when we got home. It rained when we were walking back to our car (that is why I look so bad!)

Also... earlier last week I had a doctors appointment and got the OK to go he said as long as I wasn't in the standing section I was fine! I am up 10 pounds total in my pregnancy. I am trying to get the next 10 to 15 slowly not all in one month (Christmas)!

Belly at week 24

This was week 24 and Thanksgiving! I have so much to be thankful, especially that I had stretchy pants on to eat however much I could!

Christmas Time!

Belly at week 23

I am now 23 weeks going on 24. There is big belly ALL the time now. She must be going fast. My next appointment is on Tuesday, I have my orange drink that I have to drink before the appt. to see how I do on my sugar levels. Hope all is well. I have gained another 5 pounds since my last appointment. That is a total of 11 pound! Lucky me!

3D Ultrasound Pics

We went on Friday and got a 3D ultrasound done. She moved the whole time she was being recorded. It was pretty awesome, I will try and put some of the dvd clips on I can't promise anything though. I will warn you that the 3D pics are a bit weird.

My 24th Birthday

I went to disneyland and the best part it was Free! Kim and Justice picked me up at around 11:00ish and we headed off. We walked around, ate, and only went on the train and monorail, when my feet were tired. Byron showed up at around 4:00 and we just hung out and I had a GREAT time.

Belly at week 21

Well, I am now almost 5 1/2 months pregnant. Time is flying by... This picture makes me look huge!!!! In my defense I was at disneyland for my birthday and ate anything that looked good!! I am trying not to gain too much, but when she is hungry, she is HUNGRY!

Belly at week 20

So, I lost or misplaced my camera. I had Byron take this with his Iphone, and it's not that great.

Lyric Leal Cwierz

Her little profile, then her belly and legs over her head

She is looking at you with her hands by her face

It's real!

After the ultrasound on monday things got very real. I went all day just so, so excited! Then night time hit and worry set in. Now that it's real calling it she or Lyric, it just seems so exciting and scary. I am trying to be very positive that everything will be ok, but it's very hard to let it all go because I have NO CONTROl over the situation what so ever. So, please keep praying for her and her safety, also for me to just have faith in the Lord that He has the whole situation under control!

It's a GIRL!!!!

We went this morning at 8:45AM for our ultrasound. The baby was not being very cooperative and wanted to be in her little balled up position. She at first was just there sleeping away, I told the lady that we really aren't morning people and she told us neither is your baby. It was pretty awesome, after I emptied my bladder she started to stretch out and kick her legs. Then when she told us it was a girl, I thought she was going to say it's a girl she just said SHE is not leaving that little corner! We could barely make out anything she would say, so she was on her female parts and says-If you couldn't make out some of the other stuff I was saying there is NO way your gonna be able to see it's a girl-She told us to take her 30 years of experience!

Kicks!

Late last night I was laying in bed with headphones around my belly letting the baby listen to some Beatles, when I felt something. I thought gas until during the next few songs the baby for sure kicked. It was pretty nice to have reassurance that something is alive in there.

Belly at week 17

Belly at week 16

4 months! It is crazy to me that I am gonna be someone's mom. The doctors appointment was routine check up. They told me to look for a pediatrician, luckily I had one in mind. So, I am getting pretty excited. My next appointment is on the 19th of October for an ultrasound. They will make sure everything looks good and check all body parts. 

Belly at week 15

It has officially POPPED! I am a pregnant lady now. We went to a class with a nurse practitioner just to give us the run down of the whole pregnancy thing. I got to hear the heartbeat again and I gained two pounds. And surprisingly I am ok with that, the thought that I might have loss again got me worried. We go to our regular doctors appointment on the 5th and the ultrasound on the 19th. 

Belly at week 14

It has hit me, I am pregnant. And I am about to gain some weight that the baby needs, but that I don't want my body to get. It doesn't seem worth it right now, but hopefully once I see the baby it will make it all worth!!!

Belly at week 13

The belly is becoming more apparent it seems as the hours go by. At night time my belly is fully popped and by morning it has went down, it is pretty funny. 

Belly at week 12

Belly at week 11

Well, we went to the doctors and heard the heartbeat, that was cool. I have lost a pound since the last appointment, and everything is looking good and healthy. I go again on October 5th. I am gonna make my appointment to find out the sex of the baby for the end of October. We will be taking Mason, Faith, and maybe Reed, Jordan, and Amanda. 

Belly at week 10

The belly has come out a bit. I am getting past the chubby stage and off to it's a tight belly. 10 weeks going on 11, the weeks are going by so fast. All I can think is that 4 more weeks I am in my second trimester and in 10 weeks I will be half way through my pregnancy. The clock is ticking fast.  My next Doctors appointment is Thursday, September 10th. I am not sure what is going on in this appointment, but I will post after I find out. Up to date I have gained 2 pounds, I am always tired, and the "morning" sickness has hit me at night. I have NOT thrown up so thats great, but I get pounding migraines and nausea that all I want are the lights off, to lay down and to watch or maybe just listen to the tv.  I know i am wearing the same thing as the last picture. My clothes are still fitting so far, but I already have some maternity clothes waiting in the wings. I am gonna ride out my clothes as long as I can!

Boy or Girl?????

Everyone will be happy to know that we will be finding out the sex of the baby. After some long talks, I gave in to finding out the sex. I really want to be surprised, but Byron really, really wants to find out. Instead of it being a back and forth for the next 7 months we will be finding out in November sometime. I will post as soon as we know! The names we are leaning towards right now are Lyric for a girl and either Fox or Fender for a boy. We will know soon enough.

Belly at week 9

So, I am 9 weeks and 4 days today. I have a bit of a gut, but it's different then having a few extra pounds. It is tight and always stays that way. My clothes are all still fitting just some shirts are a bit snug in the top area. I am at the can't tell your pregnant stage, but I feel chubby. I have only gained about 2 to 3 pounds, and have been walking at least 3 days a week at the track (trying to stay fit). I am doing ok on the sickness front, but i get about 3 migraines a day. 

Baby Boy or Girl Cwierz 1st Picture!

Here "it" is Baby Cwierz! Our first picture, isn't "it" cute already? I am just joking. It looks like a head and a fishy looking body. I went to the doctor today and the baby only is measuring 7 weeks and 5 days. 

So my new Due Date is March 27, 2010. 

He also said that everything looks great and healthy. Seeing the heartbeat was an amazing moment, it is now very, very REAL! 

Belly at week 7

      

Time is flying by fast before we know it will be here. I go to the doctor on tuesday and am excited for it to be REAL. I still forget sometimes that i am. 

3 years and counting!

We drove up to San Diego on Saturday the 8th to do our anniversary baseball game(Byron works on the 11th)!!!! It was a long drive up (3hrs), but we had an amazing time! The Padres won so that was good. 

Belly at week 6

I am 6 weeks now approaching 7. I can't believe I am almost 2 months along, 7 more to go. Seems like a long time, but I know it will fly by. 

The books say that the baby is as big as a blueberry!

I got a little gut now that I am not liking and my belly is hardening a bit. I am feeling fat and hoping that i can lose this weight after!!!!

Vacation

We went to Laughlin Sunday night - Thursday morning! It was very relaxing. We went to the river Monday and Tuesday and spent Wednesday by the pool. I got a nice tan and  played bingo and Won, only $60 though but fun! I tried enjoying wearing a bikini, who knows if i will be able to wear one again - Stretch marks :(
