Week 12

Another week down and only 28 more to go!

We had our first real dr. appointment on the 21st! My midwife did the regular OB check that's required and we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time! It was the best sound I have ever heard and was really strong and fast!

Some people say the faster the heartbeat, that means it's a girl! I guess that next time we'll have to see if it's still fast.

Pregnancy updates:

How far along: 12.5 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 1 pound as of my dr. appt on Wednesday!
Maternity clothes: haven't needed any yet.

Stretch marks: none.
Sleep: not too bad. Just trying to find a comfortable position.

Best moment this week: Getting to hear our sweet baby's heartbeat. It was fast, 160.
Missing Anything: sleeping all the way through the night!
Movement: not feeling anything yet.
Food cravings: none that i can think of.
Started showing yet: somedays i think so, but Mike assures me that i am not. I would think within the next 3 weeks or so.
Gender prediction: Girl?
Labor signs: Nope.
Belly button in or out: In!
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Happy or moody: Pretty Happy!
Looking forward to: a little belly and hearing the heartbeat again!


More updates next week :)

WEEK 11

Good morning,

I am home today due to now having 2 days off from work a week (sigh of relief)! I haven't been feeling well at all the past 4 weeks and it has been a rough ride trying to beat the nausea and having to eat every 2 hours to do that! Each week I have decided that I am going to start doing pregnancy updates, so starting with week 11:

How far along: 11 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 0 as of last week.
Maternity clothes: not just yet. maybe within the next few weeks i'll buy a belly band or something.

Stretch marks: none.
Sleep: pretty good so far, just trying to get comfrtable sometimes on my back or stomache for long periods of time isn't really possible for too much longer. Oh and having to get up 2-4 times a night to pee.

Best moment this week: Getting generic zofran to help with nausea in the afternoon and evenings!
Missing Anything: being able to eat a turkey sandwich without heating the meat first or feeling bad when i get a deli sandwich. They are tasting so good though. Oh and ice coffee.
Movement: not feeling anything yet.
Food cravings: I haven't had any cravings, just aversions. Chicken and the smell of it makes me sick and also certain veggies too.
Started showing yet: not really, but my belly is getting fuller. This week I noticed my pants getting slightly tighter. I am having to use the rubberband method on some of my jeans, ha!
Gender prediction: I really haven't a clue at this point.
Labor signs: I would hope not!!
Belly button in or out: In!
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Happy or moody: Happy most of the time. Upset or sad when I am not feeling good.
Looking forward to: my 12 week appointment to hear the heartbeat and maybe see our baby for the first time!!!

I don't have a pic to post right now so I will post pics next week for sure, maybe one of the baby too!
