Time for a belly pic

It's been a couple weeks, so here's one from this morning. I'm 13 weeks 4 days today!

Ultrasound!!

We went to a place called A Little Insight, just for a "fun" ultrasound so the kids could see. My mom came, and Landon was there, of course. The tech said the earliest they've been able to tell gender was 14 weeks, and I was 13 weeks 1 day that day. About 5 minutes into it, she tells me she thinks we have a BOY! So she looks around some more, the baby is moving around and sure enough - boy parts!! There's NO question at all!!

Here's a couple pictures from the ultrasound:

Already?!

It's been a week already? Where is the time going?

I feel better as far as the nausea goes - we'll see if it STAYS that way. Like I've said before, I'm not holding my breath! I'm getting nerve pain in my arms, but the doc isn't sure what it's from. If it's still happening by my next appointment, they want to do some nerve testing. I don't know what that entails, but it can't be enjoyable. I'm getting headaches quite frequently now, but that's just part of being pregnant - comforting, right? LOL!

I did a photoshoot for a friend yesterday, who has cancer...well, she HAD cancer - she just got done with chemo, and they say the cancer is gone and now it's just about sustaining. She starts radiation in a couple weeks, so hopefully after that, she'll be completely D O N E!

Anyway, that's been my week. I'll be taking belly pics tomorrow. I skipped a week, and I figured I'd do them every couple weeks now. Growth isn't as drastic every week now - thank goodness haha - so every 2-3 weeks I'll take one!

Gender Prediction!

Well, already everyone is putting in their bets on what sex the baby will be. So far it's about half and half! Just for fun, here are results from different websites, all "predicting" if the baby will be a boy or a girl!

And Website #6: http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/family/174482/Chinese-birth-predictor--Baby-boy-or-girl
It's a boy!


WELL THEN!
Looks like the majority says girl....so we shall see!

Appointment and movement?

Back on the 14th, I think I felt the baby move. It's pretty early so I can't be 100% sure, but after two previous pregnancies I really think that was it! I had an OB appointment on the 14th, and we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time! We'd seen it on ultrasound, but hadn't heard it yet. It took about 20 minutes and two doctors to find it though - stubborn child, already!! I was starting to get a little worried, but she finally found it. Landon and Anyssa were both there with me, and Gabe was still in school so I recorded it on my phone for him! He really enjoyed hearing it when he got home!

Anyway, when she had the doppler on my stomach, I could swear I felt a SUPER LIGHT *thump*. Now mind you, it wasn't hard at all, it just felt like a little flick...when I layed down in bed that night, I felt a bunch of fluttering in that same spot. It happened for about 5 or 6 seconds!!

So baby is healthy, mommy is healthy. I go back in 4 more weeks!

Tick tock, tick tock!!

Time is just ticking away!! 11 weeks already - it seems like I just posted week 10 yesterday!! My book says that the baby's already formed feet and toes could stand on my fingernail. Wow, how tiny!

I have an appointment on Thursday for my first in-office visit. We should be able to hear the heartbeat!! I'm so excited!

Can we scratch that?

The last post that is. I'm so tired, and I've been feeling nauseated again. I thought I was in the clear, but I thought it might sneak back up on me. It's off and on though, so I can deal with this a little better. This weekend I plan on resting up from being so busy during the week so maybe I'll feel a little better!

10 weeks and feeling good!

Just tired, but that's a given. I haven't had morning sickness in about a week or so now, and my appetite is getting better! I'm so relieved!! It looks like the bad days are behind me - for the most part probably. I'm sure I'll still have those "yuck" days, but few and far between are much better than every.single.day.....

Here's this week's belly pic. A lady at the maternity clothes store looked at me in utter shock when I told her how far along I am. Well, I'm on #3, what do you expect?? LOL!!
