We scheduled our 4D ultrasound for August 20, 2009. They said they would be able to tell the gender of the baby..yahhh!!! We can't wait to have that done. We have an online username/password so our familes can watch it online and be there with us during the exciting time!
We bought our first diapers last night...never to early to begin the stockpile!

We had our third doctor's appointment today. We heard the heartbeat again; it has slowed down to 166 beats/minute since 3 weeks ago. We also got to hear the baby kick right in the middle of listening to the heartbeat! :) I gained 3.8 lbs in 3 weeks....I was sure to let my doctor know that I don't eat fruits or vegetables, I don't exercise and I've been eating lots of greasy foods! She didn't see to mind too much! According to the Chinese calendar (which our doctor says is about 96% right), we will have a little boy. Our next appointment is 08.18.09 and we will schedule the ultrasound!

We have been throwing some names back and forth…I like Emma Clair (Emmett’s middle name, named after her Daddy of course) but Emmett isn’t sold on it yet. I also like Madilynn (Lynn being my Daddy, Patty and my middle name) Clair. Emmett likes Addison Clair/Lynn or Tatum Clair for a girl. For a little boy…Emmett V, Cole, Jackson or Kaden. Nana wa-wa’s (My Mom) pencil trick has us convinced it’s a little girl. My nausea has subsided quite a bit since the beginning; I still require naps sometimes during work breaks and lunch. I am very anxious to find out if we are having a boy or girl. We look at baby clothes/accessories everywhere we go. I can’t wait to start buying those cute little outfits!

We had our second doctor’s appointment today. My weight is the same as last time. I am 9 weeks and 4 days. I’m still nauseas quite a bit but I’m learning to eat things that help out a little bit. All blood tests came back negative. We listened for the baby’s heartbeat. We didn’t expect to hear it since it’s still early and everyone warned us that we may have to get an ultrasound. However, she was able to find it pretty quick and it was strong and very quick, 177 beats/minute. Emmett and I were very excited to hear it for the first time; everything seemed real then. An ultrasound would have been nice too though! Our next appointment is scheduled for July 28, 2009 at 4:00 p.m.

We had our first doctor’s appointment today. We were both very nervous and I had to give what felt like an infinite amount of blood for testing. Our next visit is scheduled for July 7, 2009 and we will listen for Baby Shaffer’s heartbeat. I have been really nauseas from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. I’m also extremely tired…good thing Emmett has taken over cooking and house chores.
