15 weeks :)

so i had my second prenatal appointment today. the baby sounded perfect, and the heart rate was 160 BPM. :) according to old wives tales over 140 is a girl. so maybe girl? lol i hope!

and i guess i havent even gained a full pound since last time. i was surprised! i thought sure i've gained like 2 or 3 pounds since then. i mean, this is almost six weeks later! at first it was 105.9, and now today i was 106.7. i've been eating plenty. so idk, but my OB said she's not worried about it at all, and that she'd rather me gain lots of weight at the end. so if she's not worried then i'm not either. i'm eating all the time and i'm trying to eat healthy and taking my prenatal vitamins every day, so i'm not sure what else to do.

and at first my blood pressure shot through the roof. of course i had just ran up the stairs to the OB department, so i was still halfway out of breath and those tests always make me nervous anyway lol. but my hand fell asleep during it and was turning purple, which has never happened. i was kinda getting worried. but then she took it again on the other arm and none of those things happened and the numbers were much better. lol i was starting to get worried that i had preeclampsia or something. but i guess i dont, so yay!

i'm getting a little bigger, or more so i'm starting to look more pregnant that just fat. which i'm happy about. :)

14 weeks :)

hello second trimester! supposedly i'm now supposed to be gaining a pound a week...idk if i can do that...like i'm worried that i just wont. but now baby is growing fast and bigger so i'm hoping (s)he will help me out. :) now for the most exciting news of all: i believe i've felt flutters! they're just very faint and don't last too long, but i'm pretty positive that's what they are. i talked to mom about it and she thinks that's what they are. they feel like the butterflies that you get in your stomach, but in my uterus. :) lol it almost tickles, makes my wanna do something about it, but its from the inside so i cant lol. either was i'm so excited by it. i can mainly only feel it when i'm relaxing, not really when i'm standing or moving around. i love it though. tomorrow i have my second appointment with my new parent support program, at 1030 in the morning lol. so early. and then next week on march 4th i have my next doctor's appointment. there they're going to listen to the heartbeat. but no ultrasound. :( i wish! i guess i'll have to just be patient and wait for the week after my bday. lol

13 weeks

aww, almost done with my first trimester. i'm so excited! and i'm just getting bigger. >.< and i finally uploaded belly pics from camera lol so yay. :) i've decided to not get the triple screen test. if they ended up having to do an amniocentesis i wouldn't want them to, since there's a small chance of miscarriage and i'm not willing to take that chance. plus there's a high result of false positives, so i'm like no thanks.

anyway, lets watch me grow!!! haha.

4 weeks:


9 weeks:


13 weeks (current!):


yeah...now i just look fat lol. but that's okay, it's all totally worth it. :)

12 weeks

almost to the second trimester! and still no more morning sickness. :) so my next appointment is march 4th, and that's just where i'll hear the heartbeat, but no ultrasound. :( but i'll have an appointment to just get an ultrasound (and hopefully find out the sex) at the end of march. it's taking forever! and i'm starting to show some. i mean if you looked at me you wouldnt be able to really tell i don't think. i've just noticed that i'm a bigger. and pants aren't as comfortable. but man, i've been so bloated lately. i look way more preggo thanks to that. exhibit A:


yeah, i'm not usually that size though. this is how big i really am, w/o being bloated:


see, a little better. :) either way i'm just excited. and tired. oh i've been so tired. and there's so much to do, so much homework and i still have to work all the time....ugh. oh well, i'll get by. i'll be more tired when baby gets here.

and i've decided on where i'm going to get the 4D ultrasound at. i'll probably get it around the end of may. everything seems so far away! but hopefully time will fly. so far it actually kinda has been flying by. :) thank god. i want to meet my little one!

11 weeks

Well i'm eleven weeks and four days today :). i had an appointment with the new parent support group today, and the lady was really nice so that's cool. :) AND no more morning sickness!!! yay!!! and i have my appetite back. :) but now i'm always hungry and i'm afraid that i'll end up gaining too much weight. :( i hope not though, and i'm trying to eat healthy. but i'm almost done with the first trimester! woo hoo! oooh but am i ever tired. and bloated. but not really a belly yet (except at night when i'm really bloated). but i can feel my hard uterus through my pelvis. :) that's exciting. umm, other than that not much happening this week.

10 weeks

so i had my first appointment today and found out that i'm actually 10 weeks today, instead of 9 weeks and 6 days, so my ticker is one day off. :) but i had my ultrasound and got to listen to the heart beat. i just about started crying, it was the most beautiful thing that i've ever heard. and the baby is just perfect. good, strong heart beat, so active, (s)he kept wiggling and kicking, it was so cute. i just can't believe how active (s)he is! i wasn't expecting so much movement, it was the most touching thing that i have ever experienced. even more i still can't believe that little miracle is living within me. it's just so amazing.

the baby's heart beat!


all the little arms and legs accounted for!


how cute! the little belly, head, arms, legs, perfection


i'm in love


maybe the back of the baby?


side view!

7 weeks and 4 days

well, on the bright side i've been getting less morning sickness, so yay! but on seven weeks i threw up again (second time so far). I had the OB orientation yesterday and got a lot of magazines and such, but i still can't wait for when i have my first appointment. my baby is moving now, but i so wish that i could feel it. and i wish i could show a little. but no, nothing.
