We are now 21 weeks along.....it is so hard to believe (except when I look down:))
Still feeling wonderful! Except a little cold that I have picked up somewhere......hate that I can't take anything for it, but its not too bad yet. Long hot (lukewarm) baths have been doing the trick so far....
We have started to clean the house and get ready for the "changing of the rooms". We are moving the office into the craft room and the office will become the baby's room. Crib and furniture shopping have begun and I also bought some material to start making blankets. Shopping for a girl has been so much fun! Kirk even made the comment that although he really didn't care either way what we had.....as we have begun shopping, he is glad it is a girl because shopping has been so fun! She will definitely be the apple of her daddy's eye.....she already is :)
"Nesting" has really begun to set in for me.....I look around the house and want to cry because of the things I feel need to be done before the baby is born. The bathrooms are the first to be spring cleaned (I know its winter, but I don't have the luxury of waiting till Spring..haha) and then we will move to the kitchen and bedrooms. I'm realizing our house is a lot bigger than it looks :) especially with a protruding belly. I want to get all of this out of the way while I am still feeling good, and the hopefully when she is born we can relax and enjoy the new bundle of joy!

It's still a girl....a healthy one!
We had another Ultra Sound this past week.....and its still a girl!!! We were a little worried that something might have dropped since our last one :) We breathed a sigh of relief knowing that we won't have to take back all of the fun things we bought.
This ultra sound was much different than the last one.....it was a little more hurried, not as intimate and I think I was a little more nervous for this one because of what the doctor could find as he checked out her organs and other body parts to make sure she is developing correctly. No worries! All looks well....and we are very grateful! It was neat to see her stomach and her kidneys....I had no idea they could be seen this early. We could also see all four chambers of her heart, both lips (for clef palate) and her brain. Needless to say Kirk and I were both very intrigued. And once again, Kirk was right up next to the monitor, pointing out things and asking questions. He is so cute when it comes to his daughter and he wants to know it all.
I am still feeling wonderful...a little pain but compared to my first 3 and half months, this trimester seems like a breeze :) The baby's bottom is right on top of my pelvic bone and so Im afraid that the pain will continually get worse as she gets bigger unless she decides to move up a bit. The doctor told me to take some aspirin for the pain, but other than that there really isn't anything to do for it. He told me to continue to stay active and walk a lot....umm....is it a problem that the more I am out and about walking, the less I can move at night? He laughed....as if he knows the pain! HaHaHa!
Kirk and I spent the whole day on New Year's Day this year up at Park City shopping for the baby. We took a lot of the Christmas money we received and bought up a storm. We got some great deals! We don't really know what we are doing when it comes to sizes and such but we bought a lot and hope that at some time it will fit (and be in the right season). If you see the baby with a sweater on in the summer....don't ask questions, you will know why :)
I was amazed when we came home, we really had spent all of the money on the baby! We bought a pair of socks for Kirk and some body spray for me! It is funny how your mind frame changes with a child on the way. The great thing is, we had so much fun doing it that we didn't notice we didn't buy anything for ourselves!
We hit our 5 month mark this week! My belly is starting to round out and I think its a little more obvious that I am pregnant instead of just gaining weight:) We love it!!
Missy
***This note is more for me....I don't think anyone else cares about the weight I gain:) But I haven't been keeping track so I am going to do it here:
First appointment: 11 weeks pregnant, gained 7 pounds
Second appointment: 15 weeks pregnant, lost 2 pounds
Third Appointment: 19 weeks pregnant, gained 1.6 pounds
At my last appointment I asked the doctor if I should be gaining more.....don't get me wrong, I feel fat :) and have no complaints about not gaining a ton of weight, except that it might not be healthy for the baby and I just wanted to make sure. The doctor looked at me and grinned and said "That is the great thing about being pregnant, you can eat like a horse and not gain that much" . HaHa! The baby is healthy right now and so he's not worried, I should gain the most in months 6 to 9. So onward we eat!!! One of my favorite past times!

Realization
My posts are getting farther and farther apart......but who am I kidding, I can't claim that I was ever a good journal writer......I am definitely trying to change that!
Things are continuing to progress well with the babe.....I am feeling great! The sickness is gone for the most part and now it is just the normal growing pains and being overly tired; especially when I try to fit as much into one day as I used to :)
Kirk and I are still having fun shopping for baby items, discussing names, and trying to foretell just how much our lives will change. Its fun to think that next year during this time of year that we will have a cute little bundle to add to our holiday cheer. The past couple of weeks, after we do something (go to a party, shopping, dinner etc.) we talk about how the event we just experienced would have been different if the baby were already here. Sometimes we are not sure if we would still be able to do that particular thing with a baby and others we think it will only be that much more fun! It still seems a little unreal!
We had our niece Kennedy over last weekend for a "sleepover" while she is staying with Grandma and Grandpa for 10 days. We took her to Wendy's for dinner, "swam" in the big bathtub and watched movies on the "big TV". We had a great time! But the following morning was definitely an eye opener for me. We had somewhere to be at 9:30 that morning. So we got up in what we thought was plenty of time and started to get ready, but come 9:30 we weren't even close to being able to leave. I had to get another person ready besides myself, we had to "fix" breakfast instead of just grab something to eat on the way out the door, etc. I think Kirk and I realized that we weren't going to make it about the same time. We looked at each other and said "there is no way we are not going to make it". We laughed a little and then reality sank in...haha. Needless to say we didn't make it....and we realize that things will definitely have to change. (this is definitely not a negative change......it will be good for us to have to think more about someone other than just ourselves! :))
I don't know if I mentioned how much I LOVE maternity clothes...but they are great. I thought I would feel silly in them but they are so comfortable I don't see how I can't wear them! :) The past week has switched from the stage of "mmm...my pants are getting a little hard to do up" to the stage of "no matter what I do, these are not going to do up! Nor am I going to be able to breath if by chance a miracle happens and I do get them done up!" Its a fun change, as I grow, it seems more real! This is not just a weight gaining period in my life but we are actually going to have a baby!!!!! Yippeee!
We are looking forward to having a few days off for the holidays. It has been fun to have Kirk home more often now that he is in between semesters. We will celebrate the day when school is no longer an issue in the Glancy household, and cherish the extra time that we will get to spend together as a family.
Merry Christmas!

It's a GIRL!!
We are having a girl! And we are sooo excited!
We had another doctor's appointment last Thursday and everything looks really good. Kirk and I left the appointment debating on going to Fetal Fotos or not and finally we couldn't handle the surprise anymore and so off we went!
We are SOOO glad that we ended up going. Not just because we were able to find out what we are having but because the experience in and of itself was incredible. The nurse that did the ultra sounds was so great and made the experience for Kirk and I one we will never forget.
The nurse first led us into a small, cozy room, with the lights dimmed and sweet lullabys playing. I laid on a cushy table (much better than the doctor's office) that was in the middle of a couple of monitors and the big machine, they do not want you to miss a thing. She poured the warm jelly on my belly and then pushed record (they record the entire experience on a DVD for you) and Kirk and I began the journey into the womb where were able to watch our little girl move and play for about half an hour. It was the sweetest experience, the ultra sound was so clear, and we could see every little limb and a lot of body detail. At one point she looked right at us and were able to zoom in on her sweet face. She had her legs crossed at the ankles almost the entire time, and she LOVES her hands to be up around her face (she began with them crossed under her chin). The nurse said she thinks that we have "a thumb sucker" on our hands.
The nurse was sensitive to the fact that this was our first baby and that we just wanted to enjoy watching her for a little while. She just sat there with us, moving around the camera so we could see the baby from all different angles and watch her move. At one point we must have made her(meaning the baby) mad, because the little sweetie curled up in a real tight ball and then quickly shot both her arms and legs straight out as if to say "Leave me alone, I am trying to sleep! :)" (We know where she gets that attitude)
The nurse could not tell right away if she was a boy or a girl because she did not want to un-cross those feet. So the nurse turned off the DVD recording and had me lay on my left side for about 5 minutes to see if we could get her to move around. She said this trick works most of the time; laying on the side makes the baby shift to get comfortable again. It worked! As soon as I rolled onto my back again, the nurse placed the camera on my belly and we were able to look right at her little bum....soo cute! The nurse took a few moments to get a good look and then looked at both Kirk and I and said, "it looks like you have a little girl". Of course I started to cry and Kirk looked at the nurse and said "Are you serious?" I think we were both a little shocked....for some reason, we thought it might be a boy and we had already decided that he was going to be named Daxton! HaHa!
I think the moment she told us were were having a girl was very special for both Kirk and I....it was the climax of the experience as a whole. I felt the spirit very strong at that time, and know that this little girl is meant to be a part of our family. How excited we are for that!
After the exciting discovery, we continued to watch her play a little bit. She moved her hands away from her face long enough to open and close them a few times. We could actually see all the fingers on each hand. It was amazing!
Kirk and I are excited to be parents....the little sweetie, as she is called right now, seems to be doing fine and we are having so much fun thinking of names for her and shopping for anything PINK! We went Christmas shopping on Saturday night and it was hard for us to veer away from the baby isles in order to get our shopping done! We always seemed to walk right towards the baby section first thing! At the end of the night, I was soo tired and Kirk looked at me and said "I could do this all night. All I want to do is spend money on the baby right now, I don't care about anything I want." For those of you who know Kirk well and know that he usually has quite the list, you will probably find this as sweet as I did.
Ali arrived this week and brought with her the cutest little swimsuit from Gap. It is pink :) with a 3-D yellow and orage pineapple on the front. Its almost so small its hard to imagine the baby will ever be that tiny. But it will be perfect for Bear Lake since we will be going a couple of months after she is born and she will need a swimsuit! Carlye also gave us some adorable onsies last night, there are 5 of them, each with a different design in all shades of pink. To look in the baby's closet right now might bring a few laughs, it consists of a swim suit and a few onsies....what more could a girl ask for!!?? (Thanks aunties, we love you!)

14 Weeks!
We are now 14 weeks and counting :) !!!!
Things are going well and I am beginning to feel better and have more energy. I feel like I could still probably sleep 12 hours at a time some days (I think I could probably do that before!) but it's not as bad as it was. The sickness is off and on, mostly "on" when I eat something in particular. We just add that item to the list of "cannot haves" and try something else.
I have begun to have a real aversion to meat, which is VERY wierd for me. Kirk is a little worried and hopes that it will only last throughout the pregnancy. He likes the fact that I enjoy eating a juicy steak with him or barbequeing all summer. He's a little afraid that this might carry on even after the baby is born :). On Sunday he grilled a tri-tip (which I couldn't even look at) and I suggested that we try grilling me a piece of chicken instead. As soon as he set it in front of me I knew I was going to be sick.....I could not eat it. So....Kirk thought, maybe if he put it back on the grill and burned it to a crisp it might be easier for me to eat (this is how my mom eats her meat since she isn't fond of it either). It helped a little, I was able to down almost half of it.....I tried the little trick I learned in Chile: mix the gross meat in with the mashed potatoes and you hardley know its there :) (I know, mixing food is so unlike me!) Bless his heart, Kirk is trying so hard to help me feel better and get enough nutrients, I know he is at a loss most of the time, but I appreciate his effort. He's great!
Lately we (maybe more me than Kirk) have been dying to know if we are having a boy or a girl. I think we are getting an itch to buy something for the baby! LOL (maybe that's why Kirk has constantly been on Ebay looking/buying maternity clothes!) Some guys at work are trying to talk me into getting the Fetal Fotos done since they can tell a lot sooner....they are so expensive but they might have me convinced...almost. It would be great to hit the Christmas sales! (I know, as if there are no sales any other time of the year!) If not, we for sure have an appointment on January 3rd to do an ultra sound.....I hope we can wait!
Wow! Thanksgiving has come and gone.....it always goes by so quickly! But I still want to mention that this Thanksgiving Kirk and I have so much to be thankful for. In Sunday School, the Sunday before Thanksgiving, they gave us the opportunity to give a short "thank-a mony". Kirk and I were both selected to share and we both expressed our gratitude for all of our many blessings. Especially for the opportunity we have to be parents, our wonderful family and friends and of course, for one another. Once again, thank-you for all of your support! Your prayers and fasting mean a lot to us and also the offers to bring us dinner or help in any other way is very appreciated!
We love you!

We made it!!
Today we are officially 3 months pregnant! That is a BIG accomplishment for us!
I was hoping today that I would automatically start to feel GREAT again :) since they say once you hit your second trimester you usually start to feel better. It was a rude awakening this morning to wake up feeling nauseous when I was ready to begin spring cleaning my house (yes, in the winter) and start walking on my treadmill regularly again. HAHA! All kidding aside, the sickness isn't so bad, and we are definitely not complaining! If it means the baby is healthy we will take it anyday!
I was told yesterday that I look pregnant. What do you say to that? Was it a compliment....that I look ravishing with a little extra weight on me? Or was he saying, "you better lay off the Slurpees, its starting to show!?" I wasn't quite sure what to say, so I said "Thanks" as if it was a compliment and walked off thinking, "Oh my, and I'm only three months." Mmmmm....
I am definitely starting to see that all the funny stories I have heard about others when they are pregnant really are a possiblilty. Sometimes you really do feel like someone else has control of your body. I've had to start writing things down, whereas before I prided myself in having a pretty good memory. It's wierd how things seem to slip right from my memory the minute I store them away for later :)
Once again, we are soooo excited to be to this point! It almost seems unreal at times, but I am quickly reminded that we will be parents soon everytime Kirk checks to see how the baby is doing when he gets home from work at night. He hopes that just maybe (even though its early) the baby might hear him whisper how much he loves him and how excited he is to be his daddy.
I am going to try and post pictures soon.....I haven't figured out how to do that yet :) Maybe with Kirk's help.......
Lots of love always...

Hey ALL!
We are having a baby!!!
We just got back from our first doctor's visit! The doctor confirmed that I am 11 weeks along and he gave us a due date of May 31st! We were able to see the baby and the heartbeat through an ultrasound. Tears came to both Kirk's and my eyes at the sight....we have never been able to see that before! Kirk just kept saying "I can't believe how big he is! He has a big head, and limbs and everything! LOL (yes, he said HE....> he thinks it will be a boy so he can have a golfing partner) One more week and the doctor said my chances of miscarrying go down to 3%!!! We are sooo excited. It seems so real now and as Kirk and I ate lunch after the appointment we started to make a list of all that needs to be done before the baby is born and what we need to buy. Both of us are grinning from ear to ear and probably won't stop for the next 6 months! Thanks so much for your fasting and prayers in our behalf. We love our family and friends soooo much and appreciate your love and concern for us. We will keep you posted. I started a blog so that I could write in it as a journal for us and an update for you! It's http://fancyglancy.blogspot.com. I just started it, so give it a couple of days and it should be ready to go! Lots of Love- Kirk and Missy (and of course, baby Glancy)
