A Little Late - 6 Week Ultrasound

Here's the pic from my ultrasound debacle a few weeks back.  I thought I was almost 8 weeks, but I was only measuring about 6.5.  Isn't my baby the cutest you've ever seen??

Okay, so maybe my baby is just that shadowy space on the right in the corner but I still think he or she is beautiful.  I should be having my second one in December for sizing and testing and stuff.  The pic should be much better.  With Brie's people who said they could never tell what an ultrasound was supposed to be could make her out in the pic!

13 Weeks

My little one has reached the size of a medium shrimp and weighs almost an ounce...

Today was a really bad day for me and my IBS.   I really hope it calms down soon.  Everything else is fine...pretty quiet with nothing to report.  Three more weeks until my next prenatal appointment.  I'm starting to show, too...maybe I'll be brave enough to take monthly profile pics.

Body By Rand McNally...

So I'm upstairs getting ready for bed, you know...wrapping the hair, taking out the contacts, putting on the pj's...the usual.  I know pregnancy does a lot to your body and the circulatory system starts working overtime...but good GAWD!  My chest looks like a road map!  There are blue veins everywhere!  I know this must've happened the first time around, but DANG!  I really do feel like I'm experiencing this stuff for the first time!

12 Weeks Today

Yep, our little munchkin is growing steadily...it's about the size of a lime. We had our second prenatal appointment today and we got to hear the heartbeat!  It was strong and steady at 150BPM.  Kenny says it's a boy.  He was right the last time, so I guess we'll have to wait a little while longer and see.  The doc says my uterus is still pretty small, but everything is doing fine. 

I'm feeling all right, I guess.  I had a really bad headache last night and ended up in bed around 5pm...didn't even watch the game.

I weighed in at 214lbs.  10lbs during thie 1st trimester isn't a whole lot (I hope).  I'm really trying to keep my weight loss in check this pregnancy.

A Little Worried

I'm 11 weeks now.  I was 11 weeks when I started spotting with Gabrielle.  She's absolutely perfect and nothing was wrong, but the spotting constantly made for a stressful pregnancy.   I know every pregnancy is different and I may never spot during this one, but the thought is still there...

11 Weeks Today

So the little munchkin is the size of a fig now...

That's still pretty small. I read that his or her feet could fit on my fingernail.  SO TINY!  I'm feeling much, much better.  I even have more energy, even though I fell asleep on the couch while Kenny was fixing dinner.  Man, this Snuggie is no joke!  It's nice and toasty.

Our 2nd prenatal appointment is one week from today.  I'll have a longer post then, I suspect.  Heartbeat time!!

Week 10

I'm feeling much better these days.  I still get pretty tired, but my nausea has subsided greatly.  This week my baby is about the size of a kumquat.  How big is that, you're asking?

Yep, still pretty dang small.  I'm just glad I don't feel like complete crap all of the time anymore.  I'm still wearing pre-pregger clothes (well, most of 'em), so that's something!  Nothing else to report on the baby front, really.
