growing belly!

Ok so my friend keeps bugging me to post pics up of my belly. I know your not really showing yet at 12 1/2 weeks, but I swear that I am, or maybe its just fat! ha ha Either way it's bigger so here are a couple of pics. I also have been feeling great, no nausea, more energized, and I feel like eating much healthier food! I've been getting in lots of fresh veggies from our garden for baby.

We are also going to have new carpet installed in baby's room soon so hoping to get someone in here within next couple of weeks to look at it. I'm thinking of going with a nice durable, stain resistant burbur, but still unsure yet. Anyway will be sure to post any new pics when I have them. :)

Here is a 4 week pic, 8 wk pic, and 12 wk pic.

Another drs appointment

Ok so I'm around 11 weeks and just got back from my second drs appointment. I was hoping for another ultrasound, but they didn't think it was necessary. They said I wouldn't get another one until around 18 or 20 weeks. I did get to hear the baby's heartbeat, which was very reassuring. It was about 160 beats/min. which they seemed happy with. Everything else looked great and no more morning sickness, yay!!! Now I'm just hungry all of the time! I've already gained 5 pounds, yikes!! I guess it's all those carbs I've been craving.

Looking forward to having more energy in my second trimester and hopefully getting lots of healthy exercise in. Well thats it for now. I'll be sure to update with any new news. :)

10 weeks and feeling great!

Well I am now at the 10 week mark and looking forward to the end of the first trimester. I have been feeling a little more energized and my nasuea is pretty much gone. I was starting to think the sleepiness was never going to end!!

We have another doctors appointment at the end of this week and I have a feeling this will be a long one. We recently had to switch doctors because of insurance purposes so I am anticipating the full workup again. Fingers crossed that maybe I will get another ultrasound and get another peek at our little one. It so reassuring just to be able to see the little heart beat on a screen.

It's been really hard for me not to do any baby shopping and planning. I told myself that I would wait until at least aug. before we started doing any of that, but the planning/organizing nurse inside of me is desperate to get things rolling!! I am also desperate to know if it's a boy or a girl. Guess we will just have to wait till that 20 wk ultrasound for that one.

Well nothing else new until the end of this week. If I'm lucky enough to get more ultrasound pics I'll be sure to post them at the end of the week.

Ultrasound Pics!

We had our first ultrasound today. I'm 7 weeks and 3 days, by the us. They also gave me a due date of Feb. 15th give or take a couple days. You can't really see much, its very small about the size of a peanut! Anyway here are the pics. Also heartbeat was good 147. Now I don't have another appt. until the end of july. Enjoy the pics everyone!
