Waiting

I have been telling people this is the most boring part of the pregnancy. I am 14 weeks and I dont know the sex of the baby so I cant plan the nursery, buy clothes, or think of names. I dont feel anything moving and I am not sick anymore. So basically I am just waiting. In the beginning it was new and I was sick all the time so I was totally aware of this new life but now its just like watching water boil. The good thing is that I have some energy back so I have been getting back in the gym. I have been walking and running a little here and there. I feel better just doing it.

Heartbeat

This morning we heard our baby's heartbeat. It sounded like a choo choo train. Really fast. I had an ultrasound this morning and the baby is getting so big. It's developing normally. I saw the brain, spine, and little fingers. His skull looks like a little alien. He was holding his little hands up and it looked like it was sucking its thumb. I refer to the baby as he because it is easier but in about 6 weeks I might have an definite answer. My doctor said I need to watch what I eat because I gained 10 pounds in 5 weeks. Hopefully I can fix that now that my stomach is working itself out. Junk food just seems to go down easier. How can you get sick on chips. I still cant believe this is happening. For years I didnt think I was even able to conceive because of the PCOS but only 1 month off the pill and surprise! Jason and I are moved into the house so now we have 2 empty rooms. The baby's room will be right next to ours. I am not scared or worried. I think we will make great parents. I am scared about having to go back to work after my materninty leave. How can I leave my baby all day? I guess I can deal with that later. For now see all the new pictures.

NT test

Tomorrow I have an NT test. It measures the amout of fluid in the babies neck. I went in to have it last week and the baby wasnt big enough. It basically tells you the risk factor for having certain diseases. I have to be there at 7 am! I also have my 2nd prenatal visit right after the test. Jason will be there and I hope the baby is jumping around like he was last week so Jason can see it too.

Boppy

I came home from the other day and Jason had a present for me. It was a Boppy pregnancy pillow. It is shaped like a comma and it helps you sleep on your side and provides support for your growing belly. I thought it was so sweet that Jason got me present for no reason at all.

Coolest Thing Ever!

I had an ultrasound this morning and I could see the arms, fingers, legs, bladder, eye cavities, and nose cavity. The baby was kicking its legs and it looked like a jumping bean. It was bouncing all over the place. Coolest thing ever! I think I am starting to show. I cant tell if its really happening or in my head. I bought some maternity clothes. I think its too early but my pants wont button. Everything sounds disgusting except pizza, candy, chips. I hope this part will pass soon.
I am really getting excited about this baby. I just want to meet the little thing. I want to hold it and be a mom. I cant wait to feel the baby kick. I just want my baby now!

The 2 little dots are the hands!

Heartbeat

Well I have been to the doctor twice and had 2 ultrasounds.The first ultrasound showed the baby about the size of a blueberry. The coolest thing was seeing that little heartbeat. It looked like a little light flashing on and off. The second ultrasound looked like a little seamonkey. I had some blood tests. I think I need to get used to being picked and poked for a while. My morning sickness is pretty much gone. I am too big to button my pants now. For some reason the part of my brain that knows how to eat healthy has been blocked and I just go for the junk. I hope this settles down soon. I still have to remind myself that I am pregnant but I am very excited because I want to hold my little baby.

A Little Blueberry

So this is my first post. I thought this might be a cool way to track my pregnancy and everything that goes along with it.It hasn't even been a week since I found out I was pregnant. I don't even know how far along I am. I will find out on Tuesday when I get my first ultrasound.

















It still doesn't feel real. Am I supposed to suddenly be aware that I have a living being inside me? Besides the nasuea that has been a daily reminder for the past 3 weeks, I wouldn't have guessed I was pregnant at all. Now the thought of eggs or chicken makes me want to head for the bathroom. I have been extremely tired as well. I have never been this tired in my life. I better get used to it because the next 20 years will be very tiring.So Jason and I are very excited. He has been so great. He stays at my apartment almost everynight.

Meet the Parents

This is us. The proud parents to be! Dad has a sense of humor, doesn't take life too seriously, works hard, and is grateful for everything he has. Great qualities I want to teach our baby.
Mom has a sense of humor, is a little neurotic, and takes everything way too seriously. She is very caring and will make a great mom.
