Bump!

I'm the worst at remembering to take bump pics! But I'm trying! Here we go!!!

13 weeks!

14 Weeks

Other news. I am intending this blog to be like my 'pregnancy journal' since I never found one I liked.

So here's what's new in pregnancy land.  Morning sickness is virtually GONE! There are still some smells that will trigger some nausea but nothing unmanageable. Meijer still makes me gag once or twice. It's so stinky in there! But I am glad to be rid of the all day nausea.  Ick.

Cravings are as weird as ever. Liverwurst, fruit snacks, instant breakfast.... 

I have already started peeing when I sneeze. Isn't it a little early for that? Oh pregnancy, you're so fun.

Ultrasound

Today we got to see our little bean! It was so much fun! Lyla kept pointing at the screen and going "baby! baby!"

Our little munchkin was awake and moving around like CRAZY! He/she was moving her head back and forth, arms up and down, and doing some sort of jumping up movement! Water aerobics? It was so fun to see all him/her moving all around! The baby is measuring right on schedule with our due date, and everything looks great! Heartbeat, 158 bpm!

We thought we might get to see the gender today, even though it's a bit early. Our technician told us that she has been able to tell some at 13 weeks. However, our baby was being a bit coy and we couldn't even get a peek at that area! Bummer! He/she is laying face down basically snuggling the placenta. Not easy to get a glimpse. Oh well, only two more months until we get to see our baby again! Can't wait!

What a great day :)

First Appointment!

Had our first doctor's visit on Friday! The nurses, NP and our doctor were all so excited to see us back and to meet Lyla! Lyla surprisingly did alright in the office and didn't bawl her eyes out the whole time! We've had a lot of trips to various doctors lately so maybe she is realizing that not every nurse or doctor is going to poke with her with stuff!

We got to hear our little one's heartbeat! Our doctor found it right away but then baby squirmed away so she had to find it again haha, but all is well, 150 bpm! The dr then went to feel the size of my uterus, but it deeps back so she couldn't feel how big it was. She said that this is completely normal, but that we'll need an ultrasound so we can be sure we're on track with our estimated due date and to make sure all is well. The heartbeat is strong so there shouldn't be anything to worry about!

We're just excited because we get to see our baby on Tuesday already! We normally wouldn't get an ultrasound until around 20 weeks, so we are quite happy :) It will probably be too early to predict the gender, but we are kind of hoping they might have an idea hehe.
