Week 14 Update

We had another Dr. appointment September 21st. We got to see our little one again because they could not hear the heart beat from the outside so they did an ultra sound to check everything. I was very nervous when they could not find it of course all the bad thoughts come to mind but as soon as we saw "it" jumping around in there I was much more relaxed. I was funny because it had a HUGE belly and I teased Joel that it was taking after him, and every time I laughed the baby spazzed out! I hate not being able to see it everyday, I wish I had an ultrasound every week!

We did find out that we get to find out what we are having on November 2nd. We are so excited it will make things seem so much more real. My belly continues to grow at a rapid rate however I have lost two pound and my blood pressure is better then it has been in a long time. I joked to Joel that this pregnancy is going so well that I should be pregnant as much as possible! LOL he =just said "yeah right".

Right now the baby from head to rump is about the size of a navel orange. It amazes me to think that not to long ago it started out as a little poppy seed and has grown so big in such a short time.

Week 12!

This is it the fist big milestone in our life as parents! This week is our 12th week and our last week in our first trimester. I am so excited to make it this far. It is getting harder and harder to sleep and Tums have become my best friend, but other then that still no puking and my symptoms have been very easy to deal with (now lets hope that carries on to the kid).

We had our second doctors appointment two weeks ago so I am a little behind on the up dating. It was very easy really just a question and answer session. I LOVE my Doctor. She is very funny and makes me feel very hopeful that everything will be fine. We did not get to hear the heart beat at that appointment which we were really bummed about, but we did get an ultrasound that next day which was really special. We got to see that baby, it was moving like crazy, which made a good picture really hard to get, what a miracle to see. I had been scared that this was all going to turn out to be, "oops just kidding you are not pregnant" since it had been so easy, but this really made things real. We also got to hear the heart beat which took our breath away, Joel was the funniest because he was so happy and just kept laughing. The beat was at 195 but they said that at this point it was so little and that is why it was so fast.

We are dying to find out what we are having.. (surprises are for the birds LOL) I have had 3 girl dreams but last night was my first boy dream so I don't know! Joel thinks is it a boy, but we really don't mind either way. We are just ready to meet them, ready for parenthood I don't know.. but really ready to meet this baby.
