I am telling you guys, it is the small memories in life this time of year that makes me miss my MOM and family so much!!!!
I know I am a day early, but I had some time so I wanted to update: 12 weeks and last full week in the 1st Trimester!! YAY!!
Week 12
Baby has more then doubled in size during the past three weeks, weighing in now at 1/2 ounce and measuring (crown to rump) about 2 1/2 inches. Which is about the size of a Large Plum. Baby's body is hard at work in the development department. Though most of his or her systems are fully formed, there is still plenty of maturing to do. The digestive system is beginning to practice contraction movements (so baby will be able to eat), the bone marrow is making white blood cells (so baby will be able to fight off all those germs passed around the playgroup), and the pituitary gland at the base of the brain has started producing hormones (so baby will one day be able to make babies of his or her own.)So needless to say baby is developing and staying busy at work! 12 weeks and 6 days will be the final day of the 1st Trimester, and in week 13 starting month number 4!

I have my 12 week appointment on Sept 8th, which is this Wednesday, I will be posting and updating after the appointment!
Praying for a strong heartbeat and wonderful checkup!
Just thinking about what the next 4 months of Saturdays looks like, makes me SMILE so big!!... This is the best time of the year! Our home will have fall decorations, pumpkin coffee in the mornings, and Football on ALL DAY LONG!!.. I love College football and this time of the year, just is the best ever!!..
Of course our home will channel surf between two teams for sure! The Florida Gators, and the FSU Seminoles! But all is ok, because I love him to pieces and he loves me, so we can cheer for each others teams until that last weekend of NOVEMBER!! :)
GO FOOTBALL, GO GATORS, GO SEMINOLES, and GO FALL!!

So of course we wish there was a sure way to go ahead and find out what we are having.. It is KILLING me, we want to know very badly!! Mostly because we do see cute baby things, but more importantly to announce a name, and began referring to our baby as our Son or Daughter!.. Anyway so of course there are a MILLION wives tales that say what you are having etc, etc.. I have read funny ones, and crazy ones, and YES any test or quiz I have taken it!! hehe..
Every quiz has come out BOY, and most of all the wives tales I can already do are BOY! So who knows!! hehe.. I know only GOD knows what we are having, but it is fun to see what all this stuff says.. of course Most ppl say you are stuck out in the front with boy and round with girl, well it is TOO soon to try that one, so we will found the gender I am sure, before that happens!
Anyway I even took the Chinese Calendar test, with my age and month conceived and it said BOY! yay right..haha
Well I spoke with my mom a few days ago and she told me about one that has been around for years, and years and that she did it and, it was right and my aunt did as well. So I googled the DRANO test and found it.. It is kinda neat.. you have to use Drano Crystals and your first morning urine is best! Well I bought some the other day, and I tried it that night, I knew it wasn't the morning but Patrick and I really wanted to see what it was going to say, well it turned BROWN right away, ... meaning BOY!!
I told one of the other coaches wife who is pregnant as well, and we decided on Thursday when we had a play date with the kids we would both do that test~ So here are our RESULTS :)
Lauren is not finding out this time, due to having two boys and this being their last pregnancy! I am praying they get their little girl!! :)
So Lauren and I took this test first thing on Thursday morning together!! :)
Online is states, you pour your urine into 2 tbsp of crystal drano (that is in a glass jar).
Then if within 10-15 seconds it turns brown, green-brown, dark in color it is a BOY
if there is no change, stays yellow, greenish-yellow, blue or blue-yellow is it a GIRL.
(just so you know the crystals are blue)
So anyway we both did the test, she is 18 weeks and I am 11 1/2 weeks. Well Mine instantly like before fizzed up about 2 inches think and turned BROWN/Dark in color..
Hers however did not do really anything, there was little fizz and it stayed yellowish, blue/green... which means GIRL! :)
Needless to say, she says she is still not finding out, but kinda neat if you ask me, that to Pregnant ppl took this test, and got two different results!! At least the test is not fake to that part.. So we have decided, either I am having a BOY and she a GIRL or me a GIRL and her a BOY, but either way we feel we are having different genders :)
IT WAS FUN!
and right before we poured them out, we def took a picture to save and share!!
But we decided fun needed to continue for a few minutes.. So we tried to the OLD, OLD,OLD ring test.. you take a piece of your hair and pull it through your wedding ring. Then have someone hold it over your lower belly where the baby is until it stops moving.. Then if it starts going back and forth it is a BOY and if it goes in a circle it is a GIRL..
Well she did my test to me first, and it sure enough went back and forth :) YAY BOY again!
Then I did her test, and sure enough it started going in a circle.. Could it be a GIRL??
WE had a wonderful fun time.. We are not going out and painting pink or blue rooms, nor taking it too serious! However it was neat and sure is passing the time for me, until we find out next month!!
here is our cool picture to share!! Hers is on the right and mine is on the left... We will see if Drano is right???!!
So everyone has been asking me to take pictures of my bump and post it on facebook. To be honest however, due to the bump not really being hard until recently I knew it was more chubby belly then anything :) ..hehe.. And that wasn't going on FB. So a few days ago, it kinda just popped out, the bottom part of my Belly to my Belly button is completely hard or very much harder then it was. So I decided to post the pictures.. Not to mention a girlfriend of mine saw me yesterday after not seeing me for about 2 weeks, and said wow you have a bump now :).. so I knew it was time.!!
The first picture is more front/side it is hard to see, then the next one is the side picture. I pulled my shirt down, and have decided clothes makes me look so much bigger.. not to mention the zoom was on too in the second one.. but you get the idea of the bump!! :)

YAY! We found the Crib and Changing Table/Dresser we love! It is a Convertible Crib which we love and the Dresser/Changing Table combo is wonderful! My wonderful parents are purchasing it for us as a BABY GIFT and we are so blessed and honored for them to do so! I can't wait for it to get here!! So excited that the big things are out of the way, and once we find out the gender in about 6 weeks, we can begin the journey of registering and announcing the baby name we have picked out!! :)
~The Turners~
So excited! We had a wonderful family friend, send us a wonderful gift card for our move, so we decided to see what we could get with it!.. This was a store we both didn't need anything else from, so after searching online we noticed they had a baby department and most items where for online purchases. Needless to say after searching through it all, we actually found this Diaper Bag we BOTH loved and knew it was the one we wanted!!.. So we placed the order, and it finally came in yesterday!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!... I can't wait to find out what we are having and go and register!!
however, on an even better note, this diaper bag matches our STROLLER set we picked out Perfectly, and since ordering it, it now is no longer available! Isn't GOD good to have placed that wonderful gift card at the time we found a wonderful item for baby!!
