It's a boy!

Well...this came as quite a surprise! On Friday October 12, 2013 (15w1d) Tyler and I were at the car dealership looking to trade in the Fusion. I excused myself to the bathroom for only about the eighth time that day, lol. I went pee as usual but this time I noticed blood in the toilet. I freaked out and walked out to the showroom and told Tyler. I called my OB on call and was told that he/she would call me back but they never did. I didn't waste any time at all and we went straight to the E.R. After checking in, they didn't even have me sit in the waiting room. They took me to a room and did my vitals. Then they led me to a room where they performed an ultrasound. Thankfully, baby was just fine. Baby was sucking its thumb, rubbing its little face, and even had the hiccups. Heart beat was at 134bpm and everything looked great! I wasn't supposed to find out the gender until November 1st, but Tyler immediately burst out and said, "Can you see what it is?" The little pumpkin had its legs crossed so the lady performing the ultrasound had me roll over on my side. After I did that, baby uncrossed its legs and there, plain as day, was a little wee-wee. LOL! After 4 hours of sitting and waiting, the doctor concluded that it was either a cyst on my uterus that popped OR that it could have been hemorrhaging from where the placenta connects to the uterus. Either way, he said that it was nothing to worry about and that everything was fine! 

So now, come April 4, 2013, we will be welcoming baby Mark Tyler Korell, Jr! 

Second Trimester!

It's been a while since I updated this thing. Lots of things have happened since my last post! First of all, I can finally announce that I am into my SECOND TRIMESTER! YAY! What's funny to me is that the first trimester is supposed to be the time where you pee often. I beg to differ! Now that I am into my second trimester, I am peeing now more than ever! I think the baby has made a bed with a pillow directly on top of my bladder ;)

Where do I begin?!

On September 22, 2012 I worked a double. I got off work at around 10:00pm and Tyler told me that he was picking me up from my house when I got home. He came by and scooped me up and told me that he was taking me somewhere. Somewhere...at 10:00 at night. Oooookay? We were driving for about an hour when I got impatient and asked where the heck we were going. He told me it was a surprise. I had no idea what could be so surprising that late at night after I had worked a long day! I was tired and cranky, lol. We finally got to our destination a whole hour and a half later. He parked the car and asked me if I knew where we were. Well duh...it was the same place where he had asked me to be his girlfriend and the same place where he first kissed me! He asked me to get out of the car, so I did. Then he asked me to close my eyes. When I opened them, I was SO SO SO SO SHOCKED to see that he was proposing! EEEEEEEK! Totally unexpected! I can honestly say that I never saw that coming. I am SO HAPPY!!! 

More good news came just a few days later. I had my second appointment on September 26, 2012. Was a very quick and easy appointment! Got to hear baby's heartbeat with the doppler. The doctor never told me what the heart rate was, but it sounded lovely. (Wasn't a big fan of him. He seemed very rushed and kind of rude). Before I left, I scheduled my anatomy scan for November 1, 2012 at 6:00pm! This time, we'll be able to tell if it's a boy or girl! YAY! I can't WAIT! I don't have any intuition anymore. At first I thought it was a girl but then I had a dream it was a boy. So now I am really clueless. I don't care what the little blessing is, as long as he/she is healthy. I have my next checkup on October 24, 2012. I assume they'll just listen to the heart beat again. That's quite alright with me because a week later, I'll know if we're having a little price or a little princess!
