Boy oh Boy!

I had my big ultrasound today. It's a boy! My husband had a hard time seeing the body parts so finally the tech got a great shot in between the legs and there is no doubt. We are so excited. My boys will be just shy of four years apart so I already have a lot of boy clothes in the correct season and now they will have a buddy to do boy things with!

It was so fun to see him moving around and kicking. He kept bringing his right hand up to his face but we couldn't tell if he was putting it in his mouth. He measured at 9 ounces and 6 1/2 inches.

The ultrasound went well. There is a little concern because the last third of the placenta is not fully covered with tissue and umbilical cord. They are NOT diagnosing it as vasa praevia BUT they are going to watch a little closer and do another ultrasound in 8 weeks to check it again. My doctor is very reassuring that he just wants to be cautious and expects everything to be fine.

Here is a picture of the little guy:

I have been feeling well for about two weeks. I made the mistake of taking my vitamins in the morning and threw up during lunch. I won't do that again.

I've got a feeling

I felt the baby move for the first time on October 5 (18 weeks). It was a fluttery feeling across my stomach. Now everyday I feel it moving around, kicking, turning, doing whatever it does in there.

For Sale

Maybe I have hit the nesting stage because I have this urge to get rid of furniture and items I have been holding on to in an attempt to clear out my house. Thank you KSL classifieds.

Belly

I had five people at work say something like "Wow! Your belly has popped out" so I must be really showing. (14 weeks)

How is it that I am feeling worse this week ? I was hoping to start feeling better but the nausea and throwing up has increased dramatically.

11 weeks

Today I saw my famous OB Dr. Terry. He and his nurse Cyndee were so excited for me to be pregnant and made the visit so fun. He used an old ultrasound he had for a sneak preview. It is amazing how much has changed in 5 weeks. The baby was kicking like crazy and punching it's arms the whole time, so fun to see. I measured exactly on schedule with the original due date of March 11. I can hardly wait.
