13 Weeks!! 2nd Trimester!

Sooo we made it to 13 weeks! We had our first OB appt with our New Doctor last Wednesday and yes we got another ultrasound :) We are sooo Lucky! We are soo Thankful too because that is how we wanted to show Bree (brians daughter) that she was going to be a big sister!

11weeks 5 day Ultrasound....

So doc said everything looked good, we heard the heartbeat on the doppler and also saw it on the ultrasound.. Its so amazing that the baby looks like a little baby now, with a head and feet and arms. Our little nugget kept moving around putting his hands up to his mouth, wigglying everywhere, it was sooo neat to see. Brian was especially excited because he didn't get to see these kind of ultrasounds with Bree, so it was nice to see him soo touched by it :)

We actually had Bree that night which worked out perfectly, so we showed her the ultrasound picture to see if she could guess what that was, she couldn't really tell what it was, so we told her it was a baby and she was going to be a big sister. She was a little confused on how she was going to be a big sister if the baby was in my belly, so we simply explained to her that it was part me and part daddy and since she was part daddy this was going to be her half brother or sister! She then understand and was super excited. She kept touching my belly and telling me that the baby looked like a jelly bean :) hehe.

Were so happy shes soo excited about it. Everytime she comes over she touches my belly and asks me if the baby is getting bigger, and I show her on a ruler how big the baby actually is, she is very intrigued by the whole situation! She tells us she wants a sister!

I'm doing well, the morning sickness has surpassed! YAY!!!! I can finally attempt to eat some protein again without wanting to throw up! Im a little fatigued though, I still get extremely tired and worn out and have to go to bed early, and take naps.

We started looking at baby stuff, car seat, stroller, playpen, mostly the major stuff, there is just so much its overwhelming! But we definitley have ideas of what we want and colors and such!

Well that pretty much sums up week 11 and 12! Until next time.....

Ahh 11 Weeks we are ALMOST in the safe zone! Doctor Appt on Wednesday, as soon as mommy hears that heartbeat through the doppler again it will be a VERY EXCITING DAY! Time to spill the Beans!!! Although im soo Nervous and Excited all at the same time!

This week was rough, I had horrible body aches, like when you get the flu, all over my arms my back, my legs i could barely stand up I was soo sick, and on top of that I had a headache the size of TEXAS that would just not go away I was miserable. So needless to say with that I was freaking out, thinking something was wrong ( which I hope not) Prayers please!

Nausea subsides for a couple days, and then it reoccurs, my symptoms are slowly letting up but not fully, They say around week 13 and 14 they are normally gone and you start to feel great! Good Lord I hope so! This has been rough on Me!

Mommy is starting to show, slightly, Still just look fat and not pregnant! My pants are starting to squeeze on my uterus so its a little uncomfortable! Other than that im good to go!

Thats pretty much my exciting journey this week/ boring/ uneventful and sick! Just sooooo excited for next week!!!!

10 Weeks 1 Day

Our little nugget at 9 weeks 3 days (6/11/12)

He/She looks like an upside down cockroach! LOL

Baby grew to 1 inch and has a 165/bpm heart rate :)

Well this week has been a whirlwind. I made it to 10 Weeks though :) Woke up Monday morning with some tingling and numbness in my right leg and right foot, which eventually led to tingling and numbness in my right forearm and hand, which almost felt like I was losing circulation. I called my OB's office and they told me since I'm tingling i need to go to the ER, "oh what fun" So after 3 hours in the ER, blood work, some standard nuero testing, I was dehydrated and need to be seen by a Nuero Doc, so my OB admitted me for the night! Not Fun! I had another ultrasound though which was exciting, babies heart rate was 165/bpm very strong! Baby has also grown HE/SHE was about an inch! The heartbeat was soo fast and loud i started crying, there is no feeling in the world better than hearing that heartbeat ;) I was then hooked up to an IV, I was dehydrated (Thanks to M/S), With all that said, Baby and I are fine and doing great! I guess it was nothing to concerning so that makes me feel better!
Our 12 week doctor appt is Just over a week away! Unfortunetly were sad because we dont' get the 12 week ultrasound now and have to wait for our 20 week genetic/gender scan 10 more weeks and we will now if our little nugget is a boy or a girl!
Mommy is definitly starting to feel better,  I'm able to eat more, drink more, and not be running to puke every other second. I'm able to get out of bed and move around and actually do stuff again for the most part. I do still get nautious and I get extremely fatigued, I need my 2 hour power naps otherwise I will not make it through the day, but I am about 75% better than week 7 & 8, those were by far my worst weeks!
Well thats pretty much all the interesting stuff that happened with me and baby this week! Until next week....

9 Weeks!!!

Ahhhh 9 weeks, Feels spectacular! Why you say because that means I only have 3 more weeks left of this horrid morning sickness! ( fingers crossed) Baby and I are doing good, except for the fact that im running to the porcelain goddess every morning and every afternoon and every evening, but luckily I have been able to keep liquids down for the most part and my vitamins which is good news! I have become of professional sniffer, the smell of basically ANYTHING makes me want to vomit, especially the smell of SMOKE, ugh, I can not believe I was ever a smoker!

I went out browsing today, because today has actually been a good day, I haven't thrown up yet, needed to get out of the house and get some fresh air! I bought my first baby item today, its one of those bath towels for infants and it was a polar bear, it was just too cute I couldn't pass it up, its all white so it can go for a girl or boy! Although i wanted to buy every girl and boy outfit in the store ahhh 10 more weeks till we find out what it is! SOOO long from now!

2 weeks and 5 more days until I get another ultrasound and get to meet my new doctor! Im dying to see my little nugget again! The anticipation is killing me! We are also planning on announcing it too so that should be fun! We can't wait to tell Brianna she is going to have a little brother or sister soon :)

This week has been pretty boring, mostly just sick and tired,  getting very restless at night, not getting very good sleep, so my daily naps help out, except for the constant urge to pee! Hopefully things get more exciting in the next few weeks! Until then.....

7 Weeks 4 Days

Our Little Nugget grew! We made it past our mark from last time! We could not be more thrilled. Got to hear and see the heartbeat again, Soooo cool and soo thankful that this little guy/girl has a strong heartbeat and is growing, and all mommys test came back great, we are one healthy happy family right now! I was so lucky to get another ultrasound but now I am sad I won't be seeing another one until 12 weeks which is a month away, but atleast it will actually look like a baby next time!

This past week has been horrible, the morning sickness / ALL DAY sickness is in full effect! There are some days where even water makes me vomit! Eating and Drinking has now become a chore! Since nausea has been a constant 24 hour companion to me DOC prescribed me some anti-nausea meds, I have yet to take them but hopefully they will give me some relief, because some days i can't even stand up I am so sick, and other days I'm ok just plain sick but not puking! Brian has been such a great support, taking over all the household duties, not complaining i haven't cooked a meal in 2 weeks, cleaning and doing laundry! Im so glad he understands and is such a big help! 4 more weeks and hopefully this will all subside and I can go back to eating and drinking normally again!

Doc told us today that she is closing her practice and moving out of state, which really stinks, we really like her! So the hunt for another OBGYN is in full effect! Hopefully I'll be able to find a good one quick!

But thats all the fun that happened this week! busy week of being sick!

6 Weeks 6 Days

Yup its true! Brian and I are expecting our first child together January 11, 2013. We could not be more thrilled! We are both so excited! Today baby is 6 weeks & 6 Days along. We have a long way to go, and we haven't announced it yet, except for my parents and my sister and my two besties, Hey a girl needs someone to talk to about the miracle in her belly :) We are not going to spread the love until about 12 weeks. We had an unfortunate misscarriage last month, I was supposed to be 9 weeks along, but the babies heart stopped beating around 6 weeks. I had a very natural, painful misscarriage, I would not wish this pain on anyone or the emotional rollercoaster a woman has to go through during a time like this. It is simply devastating. Its amazing how much you learn to love something from the first positive result! Luckily my body bounced back to healthy right away and everything went perfect. Obviously because I ovulated 2 weeks later and were pregnant again! My mom calls me fertile myrtle! We had our first OB appt on Tuesday, The baby measured 6 weeks 4 days ;) We saw the heartbeat and even got to hear the heartbeat, which was amazing because most of the time you can't hear it that early! Our little bun must have a strong heart, just like mommy and daddy!

Our little grain of rice, the little white dot at the top left of the wall is our little boy/girl! So crazy we heard the heartbeat from something soo smally!

Due to our misscarriage we have another ultrasound on Tuesday May 29, 2012 just to make sure babys heart is still beating and still growing as it should. Extra cautious due to the misscarriage and me getting pregnant again so fast. So im nervous and excited all at the same time. Its in Gods Hands! But the way mommy is feeling with all the nausea, I think this one is sticking :)

I'll be updating everyweek and / or at milestones so stay tuned for the wonderful pregnancy of Our new little addition coming soon.
