Merry Christmas to Us

Well it is official I have started to feel the baby kick or it is actually more like I have started to feel the baby tickle my tummy. What is funny is since I have sat down to do stuff on the computer the baby said good morning mommy. The baby also says hello to everyone that is reading the blog. Anyways one week from tomorrow we will get to call the baby by name hopefully, so next time I post you will know if you can call it Levi or Saleigh. We are so excited and it will be here before we know it especially since the holidays are coming and that time always goes by so fast.
We hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Cherish every moment shared with family and friends. Well I need to go so that I can get that final Christmas shopping done.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Love, Lester, Kelli, and Baby Maberry

Question

I want everyone that has already had a child to describe to me what it felt like when you first felt the baby move. I think this will be interesting to see everyone descriptions and to see how different or alike it was for everybody. If you will just leave a comment and let me know how it was for you.

December Appointment

So we went in for our monthly appointment yesterday. It was a pretty quick appointment. She felt on my tummy and said the baby was growing. Then she used the little Doppler thing to listen to the heartbeat which she said was still going strong. They scheduled us for our sonogram where hopefully we can find out the sex but if this baby is stubborn like his or her daddy then I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get to see anything. Anyways that is scheduled for New Years Eve at 11:00, I am so excited we will get to ring in the new year knowing if we are going to have a boy or a girl, hopefully.

November Appointment

Well we had our third appointment last Thursday everything went great. We got to see the baby again and hear the heartbeat which was a very strong 172 BPM again and he or she has grown as you can kind of tell by the pictures. This sonogram wasn't as clear because this the first one that she did with the Doppler sonogram but I am still proud of the little baby picture. When we first got in to the doctor's office she just tried to listen for the heart beat but she couldn't find it with just the machine so she said there was nothing to worry about that sometimes it is just a little early to hear with that machine. So she took us back to do a sonogram and when she found the heartbeat it was an amazing sound to hear. I love that sound. Well so everything is well from the Maberry baby front.

Wonderful News

Well I have some wonderful news......................................are ya'll ready to hear it..............................

ok here it goes...............WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!! I have been to the doctor twice already and it is amazing to see how much the baby has grown. The doctor said after seeing the growth and the very strong 172 BPM heartbeat, that she feels very hopeful for everything working out this time. I still get a little worried every time I go to the doctor but I know it is in God's hands and he has a plan. I go back to the doctor on November 6th. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us, please just keep praying for our precious little peanut baby. I guess I will be blogging more often now, this blog will now be a Making of a Maberry blog until we get to Meet the New Maberry.

Here is the picture from our first appointment. The heart rate at this appointment was 136 BPM. And my due date as of this appointment was May 27, 2009.

This is when I went back to the about two weeks later. It is crazy to see how much the baby grew in just a week and a half. At this appointment the heart rate was 172 BPM. My new official due date after this appointment is now May 22, 2009. My mom was able to go with me to this appointment because Les had to work, you should have seen her face when she got to see the baby and hear the heartbeat. Just remember to keep us in your prayers.

Halloween is coming

Bring on the decorating!!!! So as most of you know my favorite holiday besides christmas is HALLOWEEN. I love it. Today I am cleaning up the house a little bit then tomorrow the decorations come out. I will for sure be putting more pictures on here of my halloween wonderland.

Don't worry I am still alive

Well I made it through last week but let me tell you it wasn't easy. I did not get home till like 2:00 in the morning on Tuesday oh yes you heard it right 2:00 in the morning. But I made it through the week.

This weekend was good I actually got some sleep well more than I did during the week. We went to Zach's scrimmage on Saturday and it was actually beautiful outside which was nice. Pretty much for the rest of the weekend we just sat around and hung out. We did have some of Shiela's amazing apple pie.

Well this week is just a little crazy but I still better get to bed so that I don't go crazy.
