15 weeks and Doc. Appt!

Hey there!

I had my 15/16 week check-up yesterday and it went great! I heard the heartbeat,
which is amazing every time!! My doctor then discussed a possible date to deliver our sweet baby  which will be February 8th (for now)  :)  Super exciting!!! She will only let me go to 39 weeks due to having a repeat c-section (so no more waiting past my due date! Yay!)

How I am feeling: Pretty good! I am still exhausted ( but I think that has to do with chasing little man around and school is starting back up) so my days have gotten a little busier around here! The nausea finally disappeared so yay!! 

Cravings: pizza, pasta, subway sandwiches (such a shocker there right? Haha) anything sweet and now spicy! :)

Clothes: no longer wearing my pre pregnancy clothes...maternity clothes are all I can wear ;)

How's baby? The baby is still doing great! At our check-up even our doctor had to chase our active baby around to listen to the heartbeat :) I think I've already felt little flutters at times ( only I can feel them though) you can't feel them from the outside yet ;)  We also got our results back from the NT testing back and the results were normal!

When is my next appointment? September 19th, this will be the anatomy scan where they look at the heart chambers and take measurements. This will also be when they tell us if we are having a sweet baby boy or girl, but we will have to wait until the 20th to find out with everyone else at the gender reveal dinner! That's right we want to as surprised as y'all and we can't wait to share the excitement!

How are Phil and Forrest ? Doing good!! Although Forrest is getting over a cold and ear infection
:( poor guy!

So the next time I'll update everyone will be when we know what we're having!!! That seems so soon!! Yay! We can't wait!! I have no idea what we are having but Phil is confident it's a girl ;) so we will see in about 4 weeks! :)

We love y'all!
Courtney, Phil and Forrest

Our Family is Growing!!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome back! :) This is where I will keep everyone updated on baby schoenfeld # 2!

So let me start from the beginning! :)  Phil and I found out that we are expecting on June 10th. I was anxious to take a test (those who know me, know I don't have patience when it comes to these things) Then the next task was to keep it a secret until June 27th because that is when we had our sonogram to confirm the pregnancy and on June 28th we told our family the exciting news! I am attaching a sonogram picture and a picture of how we told our parents below! So now fast forward 8 weeks... I am 12 weeks and 4 days according to my last cycle but the baby is measuring at 13 weeks and 4 days, so I am gonna go with the baby's measurement. :)

How I am feeling: better! Up until last week and still some this week I have been feeling nauseous pretty much all day as soon as my stomach feels empty...totally different from being pregnant with Forrest (I never had 1 ounce of nausea with him) I am still exhausted half way through the day and really can't function without a nap.

Cravings: pizza, pasta, pickles, cherry cream cheese and anything sweet!

Clothes: still wearing regular clothes but I have a feeling that will be changing soon ;)

How's baby? The baby is doing great! This baby is always on the go, I have a Doppler at home that I use at night to hear the heartbeat and let's just say my wrist hurts from chasing it around my stomach to hear it...  ;) I have had 3 sonograms and it is amazing how much they change in just a matter of weeks!  The last sonogram I had was Friday for the NT test.  The baby did great and has the sweetest profile, I am totally in love already! I got to see the baby's tiny fingers and hands moving all around and stretching its legs in and out and opening and closing its mouth! ( I will post sonograms below)



When is my next appointment? August 23rd but there will not be a sonogram that day. 

How's Phil and Forrest? Fantastic!!! They are the loves of my life and I am truly the luckiest girl!! Forrest started Mother's day out last week and he's doing pretty good for not being left with anyone besides family...he is still very much a momma's boy though :) and this past Friday he officially became an independent walker! He's been walking for a while by holding on to your finger but Friday he took off down the hall and didn't look back! :) my baby is really growing up :( Forrest is also becoming quite a comedian, he mimics any sound you do and loves saying quack quack and moooo. He also says dada, mama, bath, ight(for light), og for (dog) on, off,  ball and a few others.

What's new with us? We officially sold our house a few weeks ago and are now in the process of building our dream house in bulverde!! In the meantime we will be living in an apartment for 6 months so that will be interesting with a 16 month old, 2 dogs and ourselves...


I'll update y'all after our next appointment!
Love y'all!
