The Nursery!

My mom, my sister, and Daniel did the nursery over the Halloween weekend- Daniel did not want a pink/purple paint.  So, we chose tan/sage paint and add purple decoration to make it girly.  We also chose animal/jungle theme.   Here are the pictures!  :)

Mom found this picture.....

First Baby Shower and 4-D Pictures! :)

It has been crazy since Oct 9th.  I was at work, lifting a tray onto my desk, when I felt a pop, then sharp pain shot through my belly.  Then a pattern of sharp pain and tightening muscles came... I waited for 30 minutes before asking a co-worker if it was normal.  She assured me it was normal.  I went back to work.  About a hour (total) later, the lady came to check on me and asked if I still was having pain.  I said yes, and that it was stronger.  She mentioned that she thinks I should call my ob-gyn because she thinks it could be Braxton Hicks.  So, I called my ob-gyn- the office was closed, but I left a message with the answering machine.  About 45 minutes later, the doctor texted me and asked where I was.  I said I was at work in Acworth.  She said that that I was too far to go to her hospital and that from what she heard about my signs - that I should go to the closest ER Room to make sure. 


So, I went to Kennestone - they rushed me to the Labor and Delivery and had the machines on me within 3 minutes.  They watched the machines for about 5 minutes.  Then, they turned to me and told me that I was having contractions.  They did a test to check my area.  They said that it was opening down there.  I was in pre-term labor!!  Ahh!!


They managed to stop it after a total of 5 1/2 -6 hours and ordered me to bedrest.  But, they said I could go to my first baby shower in TN as long I stayed in bed or sat down a lot.  




Here are some pictures from the Baby Shower.

 My goddaughter and me.... I was present for her birth and shes almost 1 year old!!!!

One of my best friends - I have known her since she was 2 years old!

My Georgia boys!!!  Arty, Derrick, and Eric came up to TN from Atlanta just for the baby shower.

Then I returned home to be in the bed most of the time until my appointment with my ob-gyn on Tuesday.  He is not my regular ob-gyn (my regular one was rushed to do surgery).  He ordered me 1 week of bedrest to see if it would reduce the pain. 


I also had a final appointment with a high risk doctor the next day.  He had 30+ years of experiences so I would trust him more.  Daniel and I got a surprise... they did 4-D ultrasound pictures of Whitney Elizabeth!!!  I cried after the first shot of her and I couldn't watch the rest of the "tv show".  The last "view" of her on the tv- was her covering her face like she was saying, "Please... no more pictures!".  Already a diva like her Aunt Leslie.  LOL


At the end of this blog, I will post the 4-D ultrasound pictures for you guys to see.  :)


The high risk doctor asked me what happened and I explained.  He did some tests and determined that when I lifted the tray, I tore my scar tissues on lower belly (I had surgery for Endometersis shortly after I got married) and with the baby growing.. it stretched the scar tissues until it tore and MIGHT have caused a hernia.  He said that there is NO way of knowing for sure until after the baby is born.  Because we are not allowed to have x-ray or MRI - ultrasounds does not pick up anything like that.  If it is confirmed that I did tear it, I will have surgery after the baby is born, to repair it. My case is now closed at the high risk doctor!  The baby is healthy and perfect!  GOD IS SO GOOD!  :)  Thank you for your prayers!


I had a follow-up today with a different doctor.  He ordered me NOT to return to work until after the baby is born.  He said that there is a high risk that I can make the tear worse if I keep lifting at work (he said that the baby still has 2 months to grow and will triple in size) so no more work until next year!!  Meanwhile, pray for me and my sanity!!  :)


We want to thank you all for your prayers and support- We love you guys!!




Looks like she got my nose and chin and Daniel's lips!  :)

 Yup, she opened her eyes in this picture!!

 Looks like she went to sleep.  :)  An Angel!

  60 DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE WORLD DEBUT OF TANEYHILL PEACH!

Disney 2010

So Sorry for the delay

So Sorry - We had a hectic time since the last post.  I am not sure if "hectic" is the right word.  I think "a scare" is a much better way to describe it.  I had a quad screen, which is a type of a blood test that tests for 4 things - spinal bifna is one of them.   I was going to decline the test, but when the nurse mentioned "spinal bifina"- I gave them permission to take the test.  They called me few days later, saying that I showed a possibility of having a Down Syndrome Baby.   So, they referred me to a high risk doctor. 

Daniel, my mother, my sister, and I went at the end of July - to the high risk doctor.  He explained that in 500 cases, only 10 women can test positive or shows abnormal results.  Then only 1 in 10 end up having a DS baby.   In my case, it was due to miscalculation between the last menstrual date and due date - it did not match (that can cause the risk to go up). The baby is healthy and perfect.  On the ultrasound, the doctor said, "That baby does not have Down Syndrome!  Look at how fast shes moving."  The peach was moving fast - it looks like she was body surfing or doing gymnastic in my belly.  :)

But, he did find 2 cysts on the baby's brain.  He said that it is due to the development of the brain.  Everyone get it. It normally dissolves by 24 weeks gestation.  In his 30+ years of being a high risk doctor, he only saw 1 woman that actucally gave birth to a baby that has cysts.  He ordered me to go back to see him in 1 month.  With a lot of prayers and putting our trust in God, our answers has been answered.  Our peach is fine - no cysts and no problems so far.  God is so GREAT!  :)

One funny thing happened while the 2nd visit to the high risk doctor - The peach was actually sleeping  and not moving much.  About 10 minutes before the tech was done taking the pictures, she woke up and looked like she got mad.  Then she processed to flip around and showed us her butt.  Here is the picture of her face - you can see her mouth opened and her fist next to her face.  

The scanner made it darker.... :(  There is a picture of her 2 feet, but again, the scanner made it so dark that you couldn't see it.  :(  I will fix it and hopefully, I will put them up as soon as I can.

On Aug 12, I was at my grandmother's house.  We just had got done with lunch.  I was laying down on the couch when I felt a kick.  I realized it was the peach and it was my first time to feel her moving.  I got excited and told my grandmother.  She was so excited that she got to be a part of the journey.  She called my mom while I told Daniel.  He was so determined to feel the peach.  Unfortunately, he did not get to feel her until Aug 28th. 

Mom2 (that is what I call my mother in law) and Ron was with us when Daniel felt the peach for the 1st time.  He said it was a huge powerful kick.  Mom2 got to take pictures right after Daniel felt the baby.  Here is the reactions.

Trying to feel the baby

Few seconds after he felt the Peach for the first time.

I love this picture of Daniel..... he looked like he was awed- does he?  :)










Lately, our baby has been a little bad girl.  She hasn't been letting her mommy have her beauty sleep.  Just kidding - :)  She has been moving a LOT!!! 

Here is the most recent picture of the belly which was taken on 9/14/10.  I am 26 weeks and 3 days along.

Oh, yeah, we also picked a name for our little peach. 

Her name will be  

Whitney Elizabeth Taneyhill.  

She is named after my sister, Whitney, who has been there for everyone in our family and is a role model to me even though I am the oldest.  :)  Daniel picked Elizabeth after my middle name because it rolled off just right and sounds perfect.  My side of the family is calling her Lola for a nickname after my greatgrandmother.  Daniel does not like it - so we are thinking of a nickname right now.  :)

We are going to our first vacation since we found out.  We are going to Disney World for 7 days and beach for 2 days - we cannot wait!!  :)

We also want to thank you all for praying and be there for us during this journey.  It has been full of surprises and changes.  We love you all!
