Quad Screen Results

For those of you who don't know what this test is here is a brief description:

The quad screen measures high and low levels of AFP, abnormal levels of hCG and estriol, and high levels of Inhibin-A. The results are combined with the mother's age and ethnicity in order to assess probabilities of potential genetic disorders.
High levels of AFP may suggest that the developing baby has a neural tube defect such as spina bifida or anencephaly. However, the most common reason for elevated AFP levels is inaccurate dating of the pregnancy.
Low levels of AFP and abnormal levels of hCG and estriol may indicate that the developing baby has Trisomy 21(Down syndrome), Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome) or another type of chromosome abnormality.

My Doctor's office called today and my test was NEGATIVE, which means that everything is fine! I am so happy, these sort of test make me nervous.

4 mth BaBy update...

Well my little baby is doing great! he/SHE is about 5inches long and heart beat is very good and strong 157bpm! I had to get blood drawn for the quad screen which made me very weak since i'm already anemic anyhow. I also had to get the Flu Shot and I swear my arm is worthless even today.....I had lost some weight, actually quite a bit, but it is normal and everything is fine!! Check this out...When I went to the desk to schedule my sonogram and next appt. thier was only ONE appt. left before Thanksgiving (which would be time for my check up) if I wouldn't have gotten that appt. I would have had to wait 6wks instead of 4wks!!! You all know I would have WIGGED out!! Anyway, Sonogram is scheduled for Tuesday, November 20, 2007!! (I will be 5mths) Keep your fingers and toes crossed that the little booger shows its goods off!

I haven't posted in a while, shame shame~!

I am so sorry I have not posted a blog in a while. Things have been so hectic! So I will fill you in a little on what has been going on with Mr. Kullen and the new little one. Kullen has started a school called Kidz-a-palooza. He hates it! He does have a little girlfriend named Presley. He told Miss Presley the other day that he was going to buy her some ear rings and matching shoes!! His favorite things to do are: go to wal-mart and buy a toy, play with his dog "Tuffy", watch Spongebob or any other cartoon on Nick, annoy Aunt Gretchen, and he always wants to go to Baby Kale's house because "he loves him and have never seen him" as he says. He has been getting a little attitude here lately, but I'm sure it is just a stage. We recently moved to my Dad's house in Maud, and he is super happy about it. I'm sure he and Pawpaw will have a blast together!

As far as the little one,

my second doctor's appointment went well. (3 months) I heard the baby's heartbeat via doppler 152bpm. My weight was perfect, blood pressure good the only thing is that I am anemic. Nothing that a horse pill looking vitamin taken every nite can't cure.

I will make sure to be posting things on here so that I can keep up with stuff and so can you! ;)

1st Doctor's Appointment

On Tuesday, August 28, 2007 I had my first visit with Dr. Bingham in Texarkana. She was awesome! I have been having morning sickness really bad and she gave me Zofran to ease the symptoms and it completely knocked them out! I feel alot better. I had an Ultrasound done and I could see the tiny heartbeat beating 171bpm. I was 8 weeks that day, so I am due April 10, 2008!! Kullen and Gomaw went with me to the doctor and had a blast..Kullen had alot of questions, of course.

Oh, the pencil test say's "It's a girl", although its just a wives tale. Hope it turns out right. Keep your fingers crossed. hehe

Big Brother, KULLEN!!

Kullen will be a big brother in April!! He is so excited!! Shortly after he learned the big news we made a trip to Wal-mart where he was buying his "Sister" everything he could find!!!!!! Hope it is a girl, or he will be sooo disappointed. But he will love it no matter what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Due date: April 10, 2008
First doctor's appt: Aug 28, 2007 (sonogram)

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

Father's Day with Pawpaw

Father'

Little birds in the plum tree

On Father's day, Me, you & Daddy went to see PawPaw Joey, and then all four of us went to Aunt Jan's house in Maud. She had a plum tree in the back yard. You loved the plums. Then Pawpaw discovered a birds nest. You had a ball. Then Daddy in attempt to get more plums, he was climbing the tree. He is silly.

Happy Birthday, TRENTON!

Your little freind, Trenton, had his 4th Birthday Party! Miss Cole had Hot dogs, sno-cones & Cake!! You had a blast! Miss Cole did an awesome job on the cake!

Typical boy!

We can get a white one.........

Last night Kullen asked me if he could have a baby brother. Of course knowing me, you can imagine the look on my face--(OMG, no, not from me, atleast not now.) So I just told him maybe one of these days he could have one, when the time is right. So he looked at Opie and asked him the same thing. (he has been playing us against each other to get his way, lol) Opie said, "No, not right now." Kullen looked at him as serious as he could be and said "But Daddy, we can get a white one." I about fell out. I have no clue where he came up with that. HAHA like he would have a "chocolate" one as he calls it. lol Kids say the darndest things sometimes. Funny, nonetheless.

Mother's Day Pictures....

Last month for Mother's day, I took a few pictures of you and Blake for Gomaw. Here are a few of my favorites.

Mighty Kid

You now have a "imaginary friend" named Mighty kid. The other night you were taking a bath and I noticed you kept talking to something in the corner. So I asked you about it and you said it was your friend Mighty kid. So I being curious asked what he looked like. You replied that he had dark hair and blue eyes. Then you threw in that he lived in Texarkana and worked at McDonalds. You told Daddy and I that when it rained Mighty Kid drove his truck real fast and stopped to sleep in the pond. Isn't imagination awesome?

You stayed at Gomaw's the past two nights because she is off work and keeping you so your don't have to go to school. You made her think you wanted to come home, but really all you wanted was the new truck and fruit-roll ups that I bought for you at Wal-mart the night before. She called later to say that your saw your "Skeleton" which what you meant to say was "You saw your shadow"......silly boy.

A better way to scrapbook!

I have decided to start posting all of these
precious memories so that our family and friends
can keep us with all the times of your life. I also
did this so that when you get older you can go back and read
what Mommy and Daddy have written, along with
all of the comments that family and friends post. Love you.

Look how big you are!

Mommy took this picture on the last day of FBCCA dayschool. You look so big and act so grown. At the program you sang songs and laughed with friends. Your teacher, Ms. Rhonda Blackwood made you a scrapbook that will be cherised forever. You have grown alot in this year and I look forward to many years to come. Love you.

Mommy
