14 weeks!

This ultrasound picture was taken at 12 weeks. We got genetic testing to make sure so far everything is okay. Baby looks good and we did find out what the sex of the baby MIGHT be!!! A girl!!! The tech was pretty sure about it, but we will get it confirmed on our 4D ultrasound in 2 weeks. We can't wait for that! We have invited a lot of family to join in on the fun. 

I am dying to start shopping for baby things, but I will wait until we get the sex confirmed. 

We also met our Dr. for the first time this week, since we changed Dr.s  We LOVE him. He has a great sense of humor and great bedside manner. I am now officially in my 2nd trimester which is a huge relief! I feel like we made it, but I know I will have really made it when I deliver! I am already uncomfortable which is disappointing as I have a LONG way to go! I feel like there is lack of room in there and having trouble breathing regularly. I have bad side aches.  I think it has to do with my back and neck being out of whack and being in a lot of pain from that. So, tomorrow I go to the chiro and Sat. I go get a 1 1/2 hour massage. That should help! 

12 weeks!

Okay here is my 1st belly shot! I woke up this morning...stepped on my scale and said Holy Cow! I gained 2 lbs in 1 day....frightening! Hopefully, it is the baby growing and not just me!! 

On Wednesday we will have ultrasound pics. We are hoping to get a sneak peek at a guess of what the baby is. I won't get my hopes too high, but some women have been able to tell this early.  I guess if the donger is pointed up it is a boy and if the donger is pointed straight it is a girl. The donger on the girl is the clitoris taking shape. There is your anatomy lesson! I really can't stand surprises and technology needs to get better fast for us impatient women! 

Well we do have our 4D ultrasound scheduled for May 16th to find out the sex. I will be 16 weeks. Only 1 more month to go! 

11 Weeks 4 days!

Well, I have decided that I would post once a week, but have failed to do that for a couple of weeks! Oops! My mother brought it to my attention. Thanks Mom! Sometimes there are just not that exciting of things to report. 

I am in my 11th week and went to Texas to celebrate Easter with my sister and her family, my mom and brought my other niece Ashlynn with me. We had a great time being together. It was a bitter sweet time for me as I know I won't make it back here for quite some time. Next time I will have baby or toddler in tow and it will probably be quite a Hollywood production with all of the things you have to bring for one little human being! One of the best moments was sharing my sister's bed with her (yep she actually let me in her bed again!!) and having conversations before we hit the hay. I got all of the sisterly advise on "to breastfeed or to not breastfeed" and many other topics! It was great to have that time together. 

Now it is time to go back to my other family.....the wonderful husband and fur kids. Boy, did I miss them! Oh how the heart grows fonder while you are away. 

How am I feeling you ask? It was getting better, but it came back! I have to stop jinxing myself. Whenever I have 1 good day I say "Oh boy, I think it's over" Nope it all comes back with a vengeance the next day! I am almost through this 1st trimester. We go in soon to see the baby and get genetic testing. I can't wait to see how much bigger "it" has gotten.  What do you think you are having...you ask? Hummmm......I always have a strong feeling it is a girl, but I have dreams about that I am having a boy & a girl. So, I have no idea what it will be, but we are DYING to know!!
