12 Weeks

If you look very carefully at this photo you will see the baby is sucking its little thumb.   Its hard to see because it turned out so blurry, but the baby's head is on the left side of the photo, on the right side you will see a tiny little foot and by its mouth its little thumb that it was sucking on.   

2nd Trimester

According to my doctor I am 12 weeks pregnant which means tomorrow is the first day of my second trimester! I had my 12 week appointment today and they couldn't find the baby's heartbeat which was quite the scare for me so they sent me down to ultrasound and they were able to find the baby which was sucking its thumb and wiggling its head and toes. The heart rate dropped from the ER visit at the ER visit it was 166 but today is was 156! It's so amazing to see it move around its definitely something I thought I'd never see! I am so happy about this baby and I already love it so much! I have had quite a bit of morning sickness and throwing up, my lower back and hips ache a lot! The breast tenderness isn't bad at all now which is a nice change! The newest development of my body is I have had terrible stretching and pulling in my belly and some serious constipation. The doctor has given me some ideas to help with the constipation! He says the pain and stretching is from my ligaments being pulled from the weight of my uterus. Things are looking really good which makes me very happy! I will upload a picture of the baby sucking it's thumb in a little bit. Also I find out what the baby is on December 19th which I am very excited for! Scott thinks its a girl and I'm saying its a boy so we have a fun little bet going! I guess we will find out in a little over 2 weeks!!

11/12 Weeks

I apologize that its sideways, but i didn't know how to fix it!

11 Week/ 12 Weeks

I had a little bit of a scare and thought something was wrong with the baby while I was at work yesterday.   I started getting this really sharp pain in my belly and it really worried me.   I left work and went to the ER.   They checked the baby and everything is fine with it.   I still have the pain, thinking it might be an ovarian cyst or something but its getting really sharp and really painful.   which is why I am writing in the blog at 3 AM.   When they did the ultrasound to check the baby yesterday it was the MOST amazing thing i had ever seen in all my life.   Baby was doing summersaults and kicking and waving its arms and hands.  It was just completely enjoying growing.  It was so adorable you can see its little fingers and little toes, its eyes and ears and face.   Its not a little bean anymore.   It was moving all over the place in there it was amazing I couldn't feel it moving around in there. It was the best moment of my life.   I can't wait till its born.   hopefully  this pain will go away, but sooooo glad that the baby is doing good and growing well.   I thought I was only 11 weeks but the baby is measuring at 11 weeks and 5 days so second trimester here we come!! :)

10 weeks pregnant

I can't believe I'm only two weeks away from being in my second trimester! Things have been pretty smooth I have had really bad nausea achie hips and back! The prescribed me something for the nausea which didn't really help but it sure helps me sleep! My next appointment is a week and a half away which is kinda scary I'm so excited to hear the baby's heartbeat again! I think I'm going through withdrawls! I kept having nightmares that I had the baby but it didn't have a bed! Needless to say the baby now has a bed! Lol

9 weeks pregnant

This is a major milestone for me! Never in a million years did I ever think I'd make it this far! I'm very pouchy and my boobs are huge!! My nausea is worse then ever and I swear I spent half my shift in the bathroom at work today! My cravings have gotten weirder then ever too I crave things like sloppy Joe with tuna on a chicken patty! Lol Scott I think was disgusted! I am having a hard time with the bending sitting and lifting restrictions! My next appointment is 3 weeks away which is considerably difficult seeing is how I've had 8 ultrasounds within the first 3 weeks of pregnancy! I love being pregnant even though I'm sicker then a dog! Hopefully the next three weeks will fly by for me till I can see and hear my baby again! It's truly the happiest moment I have ever felt!

8 Weeks Pregnant

Sorry Its sideways, I tried to fix it.   8 Weeks pregnant, I'm further then I have ever been.   Baby is very healthy and has a very strong heartbeat 163 beats per minute.   Everything looks really good still and i'm very pleased with the progress.   My boobs hurt, my back hurts, i'm getting fatter in the front... things are changing.    I think Scott is getting more excited as well.   I have had a lot of spot bleeding which has been pretty scary!    I graduated from high risk to semi high risk,   I have lifting, bending, and sitting restrictions.   But instead of going in from two to three times a month to once a month unless anything changes which we are going to be positive and things are going to go perfect!    Everytime I see that little thing on the screen and hear that little heartbeat i fall more and more in love with this baby!   I feel so blessed to be able to create life with the love of my life.
