Baby's Gender.....

IT'S A GIRL!!!! :D

All results came back normal as well, so it is a healthy baby girl. Hooray! 

We found out early by doing a Harmony test that finds the baby's blood in the mothers blood, just had to have blood drawn. It does various genetic testing for down syndrome, etc. but can also pinpoint gender. 

13 weeks on Thursday!

Symptoms: 
-STILL queasy. Hoping this will pass within the week as all of the websites I have read promised and as I enter the 2nd trimester. 
-having some round ligament pain, which is periodic sharp pains in the lower abdomen. 

No photos this week, sorry! Will include some in the next post! I need to go immediately shop for girl clothes now ;)

Week 11- Surprise ultrasound!

So we weren't supposed to have another ultrasound until 20 weeks, but the Doc. couldn't hear the heartbeat through the abdomen check yet. So I got to have another ultrasound to hear the heartbeat and see the baby! Wow! What a change in 3 weeks!

Little nose and eyes and feet... SO CUTE! *gushes*
Baby is almost 2 inches big! Healthy heartbeat and size for the age. Baby was also wiggling around this time. 

Also today I had blood work done.. 7 vials of blood! Wow, it seemed like an awful lot. But apparently it is a lot less than giving blood. 

Pregnancy symptoms are somewhat the same. My weight is the same as well. Only 2 weeks left of the first trimester! 

10 weeks pregnant

Hello all!

Sorry for the late post, we have been very busy and just got back from a trip to Hawaii :)

How far along? 10 weeks

Baby's size: Cherry! CHEEERRY... CHEEERRY BAABY (Ya know, like Sherry baby..?)

Weight: Starting: 129.4/ Current: 132 :O (this is partly thanks to Hawaii overeating XD)

Maternity clothes? No :P

Symptoms: 

-Still with the queasiness! Tuesday was pretty awful, but overall it is mild and worse before meals

-Had some sharp pains, though not frequent. Apparently this is my body "beginning to move and expand". Basically my joints and muscles are going to creepily distort themselves to make room for our cutie Koerber :)

-Will spare you all the details, but have had an upset stomach for three days straight. Somewhat troubling, but trying to work my diet to combat this problem, including bananas, rice, applesauce, and such. 

-I do have food aversions, but usually not to foods I love. After a couple of days in Hawaii fish started to make my stomach churn. Sometimes meat in general is less appetizing. 

Miss anything? Jeggings. 

Food cravings: This week I was really craving apple juice. I gave in to this craving. I also really want some toaster strudels but I am trying to ignore this one :( 

10 weeks

At 8 weeks we had our first ultrasound! Baby was a healthy size and I got to hear the heart beat! It was so fast and a truly awesome sound.

The picture isn't very good, and the scanner is giving me problems. So I took a picture of the picture.. 

Sweet alien baby at 8 weeks

Starting on left, big black circle is head and brain, little arm on top, etc. Ok so baby didn't look like much yet, but it was only the size of a kidney bean, so cut her/him some slack :)

I am really looking forward to the end of the first trimester and beginning of the second. Then I will feel like baby is going to be  alright, and the queasiness will hopefully be gone. I'm actually looking forward to the cute prego bump :) 

I will update again soon! And Happy Birthday to my husband today! :)

Thanks for reading~
