Jessica's Baby Thread! *Updated 1/25*

[Baby On Board!]

Okay, so I've actually gotten quite a few messages and PM's etc... from various people congratulating me and asking me to keep them updated, so I am just going to make an offical post. From here on out, all updated baby photos/belly pictures/ultrasounds etc... will be posted in this thread.

As of today (Jan. 9th, 2006) I have just hit my 24th week EXACTLY!

For those of you that want to look more, I created a baby site for Natalee with pictures, a journal, photo gallery etc... it's the "baby's page" so it'll be updated as much as I can, and the birth announcement will most likely be posted up there.

Are you kidding?? I CANT WAIT to dress her up. lol my husband isn't all excited and woo about me treating her all girly girl he wanted a boy, but we're both happy boy or girl. lol can't wait though. Plus, I've heard from so many people that girls are much easier to take care of than boys as babies.

[Luv_98_Degrees]

lol. :D :D It's kinda like my mom & dad, my dad really wants a boy but so far my mom & dad have just 3 girls.

baby girls may be easier, only 'cause they can't squirt their pee on you when you change them lol. but i've heard that little boys are easier to handle. and i have to say my bf's three little boys are pretty good most of the time. but i told him that once we get married we're having a little girl whether he likes it or not lol.

ps congrats :D.

[Luv_98_Degrees]

lol really?? awww!!! im the only girl in my family.

yep, but I'm the oldest, & I really want a younger brother!!!! :D

lol. Girls are probably easier to raise, but according to my dad, "women equals problems!" :D

[Baby_Girl89]

lol yeah well my brother was probably more difficult in my family but it was probably because of his mental illness than his y chromosome lol.

also i've heard that from like reports and my cousins have sort of compared notes on their children for me lol. but all the same i love children and i want one. the reason i want my girl is because i already have three older adorable boys in my life i don't really need another one lol.

[Luv_98_Degrees]

lol. it's like everyone who have girls in their lives want a boy & everyone who have boys in their lives want a girl!!!! :D

[Baby On Board!]

[Baby On Board!]

Thanks guys! I had an alright time...I plan to write about it. Trust me.
It deserves needing to be written.

[Luv_98_Degrees]

I'm glad you had a good time, I'd love to hear about it!!!! :D

[Baby On Board!]

thanks, im SO exhausted though now. lol

[jnd98forever]

awwwww.. i love baby showers especially seeing the cute little outfits for the baby...I remember this one time where it was a family friend's baby shower and we had gotten her abunch of clothes. My favorite outfit was this little pink dress that was a-d-d-d-o-o-r-r-a-b-b-l-l-l-e it came with matching booties too! =))) you should of seen me in the store when i saw it on the rack i think the whole store heard me go eeeeeeeee :D


hey i don't think I said congrats yet....wellll Congradulations!!!!!!! I think Natalie Grace is an adorable name =))

[Baby On Board!]

thanks so much! the baby shower today was definitely different. i plan on posting about it in my blog :) when i have time. im just so tired now.

[Luv_98_Degrees]

Can't wait to hear about it, Jess!!!! :D
But you should rest for now!!!!!! :D

[Baby On Board!]

had my glucose testing freaking 1st thing this morning. Tests came back negative (Good in this kind of case) so I'm okay. That solution they make you drink is DISGUSTING. I thought I was going to puke. Anyways--I had an exam to just to see how the baby is doing and how everything is going. Everything's going good! I got 4 ultrasound pictures printed because I wanted to send some over to Zach--I know it'll take a while to reach over there but, I want him to have some nontheless.


She's 14 inches long right now and weighs a little under 2 pounds. :) Its so cool, I think, how technology allows for you to know and see all this. It's SO cool!


I'll be posting in my blog all this as well :)

Here they are!

[Lindsey Lou]

adorable :)

[Baby On Board!]

thanks---is it bad that I sitll had to have her point somethings out to me in the pictures. hehe. Poor babies---their parents can't even tell they're anything but a blob the first 9 months of their growing lives.

I could make out her head and body easily now, but the 2 middle sonograms--I had to ask about. :)

[~*baby_gurl*~]

o those sonograms are adorable!

[Raevengeance]

ok Jess - so what exactly are we seeing in the middle two??

Heck - I'm impressed that I can even make out the head on any of them :P The ones that I do occ[arse]ionally see - it's like - ummmm what exactly am I looking at?? ;)

[Forever_Lost]

lol... I have no idea what I'm looking at in the 2 middle ones... the first and last ones are adorable though. :D

[jnd98forever]

lol...im just gonna throw this out there the second on is of the baby's nose???and the third one is beyond me lol shows you how much I know...

[Baby On Board!]

lol I had to ask the doctor too!!!

The 1st one I could tell, the second one yes is her nose---well, it's a face shot of her.

The 3rd one is her waist down--trying to show her legs but I dont quite think all of her leg made it in the actual picture. She was kicking like crazy! And the last one again---I didn't have to ask about. hehe.

I had 3D done to, for the FIRST time. But I was trying to scan them and they wouldn't...I came out fuzzy looking. So I called my mom and asked if there's somekind of solution or something, I know they have on the sonograms b/c it's not a regular sonogram type, the material of the paper or whatever is weird. But she told me how to do it :)


These are amazing wait till you see them. They're just about done scanning. Zach's going to kill me when I tell him how much it cost to do that. hehe

[Baby On Board!]

okay done scanning now just gotta load them. lol

Okay--these ones I can explain b/c they're clear and I was talking to my doctor about them.

those are the 3D ones...I think thats the only time I'll have it done because it wiped out my wallet...its really expensive, but if it's just once out of 9months I think its worth it!

[Forever_Lost]

Wow... those are awesome. Aww...

[Luv_98_Degrees]

awwwww..really cute!! Thanks for sharing, Jess!! :D :D

[Baby On Board!]

You're welcome :)

[Baby_Girl89]

lol I know...I think they're worth it too. It was like an actual "session" I had to do, but it was so cool! I wish they had these things when I was a baby---I'd have LOVED to of seen it of me. :)

[Lindsey Lou]

Cute pics!! Why does she get two rooms?

[Baby On Board!]

Cuz' that nursery is at my mom's house. (the "Twinkle" theme one) My mom's going to be watching her while I finish out school, and will have her more than anyone when I'm in school and finishing up, so she did a nursery herself. :) Actually---let me rephrase that, she asked my brother and cousin to help on it. :) She just told them what she wanted it to look like. She wouldn't show me until it was done either! I think it came out nice though.

[Forever_Lost]

Aww... those rooms look so cute. :D I'm sure she'll feel right at home in them. :)

[Lindsey Lou]

Ohh!! I completely understand!! Its so adorable! :) Both of them :)
