13 weeks!

Holy hell! Where'd the first trimester go?! I'm feeling pretty good. We can find the baby's heartbeat easily, though we haven't really felt the need to do so very often. My uterus is clearly growing, and I'm quickly growing out of my clothes!

OK, so the big news....I had my u/s on Monday, August 23rd!!! The student u/s tech who did the u/s was fabulous! She turned the screen so I could see the baby really well. Trouble was just moving all over the place! It was surreal! Anywho, a pic of Trouble:

Personally, I think it's a boy. There was a butt shot at one point and I think I saw a little dickey bird. I really don't care much either way though. I'd just like to be able to buy cute girly clothes for once!

I had an appointment then on Wednesday, August 25th. It was at Dr. Duggan's clinic, but she wasn't there. I saw her resident Dr. Boudreaux instead. She was wonderful, and I'll get to see her another 2 times. She looked up the report from the u/s and there was nothing out of the ordinary noted, so I guess the source of the bleed will remain a mystery for all time. What matters is that the baby is OK now though, right? 

Anywho, must sign off....big brother will be waking up from his nap soon!

11w0d

11 weeks?! Seriously? How the hell did that happen?! Craziness.

OK, so updates...
...ultrasound is booked for August 23rd. I hope to God they'll give me pics this time!
...I've been referred to Dr. Duggan again. I'll probably see her around 14 weeks.
...I can now feel the top of my uterus and the heartbeat is much easier to find.


...Jesse likes to kiss and hug "the baby"
...The baby in my ticker looks like an actual freaking baby! Holy crap!

10w3d

We've been finding the h/b again! Yay! It's just higher than I thought it would be. :)

I'm starting to get kind of comfortable with the idea that I'm actually pregnant.

9w5d - Worry

I haven't found the heartbeat for 2 days in a row now. I'm not freaking, but still worried. Hopefully the little one is just being a bugger.

8w6d

I've been so busy lately! At last I've found time to update.

So yesterday, at 8w5d, WE HEARD THE HEARTBEAT!!! We found it with our doppler. Crazy, huh? Gonna have another go at it today.

Haven't heard back from the doc's office on the u/s. It's driving me nuts.

7w3d - Jumping the gun...just a little

I am a lunatic. I tried to find the fetal heart beat with the doppler today.

Needless to say I was not successful.

7w2d - BLAH!

I have mild to moderate nausea and NOTHING looks good to eat. Certainly nothing that's gluten free.
