14 Week Appointment

I had my 14 week appt to find out that we are measuring more like 15 or 16 weeks. She is having me do a sono at my next appt. to reevalute the due date. She said that I'm measuring atleast 1 week later, if not two. So maybe we will be looking closer to the beginning or middle of Feb!! Yeah, I hope they move it sooner. I can't wait to meet her. I am also excited about having another sono so that I can see her, but also they should be able to confirm the gender. Other than that everything looks good!!!

My next appt is September 23rd.

Could it be a GIRL????


We went in for our screening today. The baby appears prefectly healthy and everything has developed well. The HB was 160 and she measures 3.5 inches. It was so cool to see her this time. She was waving her arm, kicking, and she kept opening and closing her mouth the whole time. Maybe she will be just like her mama, a big mouth!! haha! As you can see in the picture her mouth was wide open during this shot. We also got to actually hear the hb this time! This really is amazing and I am loving it so much.


So while the doctor was doing the sono I asked him if he had a guess as to what the sex was. He told me that he can't be 100% sure at this time, but he guessed girl. I asked him how sure he was and he said 90% sure!!! I am soooo excited. I already bought a little pink dress, I couldn't help it. I just figured I would keep the receipts just in case they tell me differently at my next sono. The big sono where they will confirm the sex will be in about 6 more weeks. So for now I'm thinking PINK!!! Honestly the Dr. seemed pretty confident, so we'll see.


As far as how I'm feeling....I'm feeling great. This past week has been a huge improvement. I have more energy and just feel a million times better! The past few days I have really been feeling weird things in my tummy. It really feels like things are stretching in there! I told Jason today, you know your tummy is getting bigger when your elastic waist pants are feeling tight!! Haha! I can't wait to really start showing, right now I just look like have eaten one too many candy bars!


Take care everyone!!!


P.S. oh yeah, I'm now in my second trimester!! Hooray!!!

Cross your fingers and say a prayer!!

Well, we go in next Wed. (the 19th) for some screenings. This will be a sonogram and blood work to test for down syndrome and other abnormalities. The doctor said that there is a good chance that we may find out the sex of the baby during the sonogram!!! I asked her if that is really possible at only 13 weeks pregnant. She said yes because they use a high tec sonogram machine which gives you a very clear picture of the baby. They don't have the equipment to do this in the office so I have to go to the hospital to have it done. So, pray for a) the screening to come back normal and b) that the baby cooperates and that we can tell the sex. I will post the results as soon as I know!!!!
