Good Appt

Met with the family Dr yesterday as we needed to ease our worries minds. Since it will still be 2 1/2 week until we meet with our OBGYN, and another 4 before our next u/s we needed some ease.

So we met with the Dr to use his portable u/s, listen to the HB machine. Got to hear the HB. I was sooo nice to hear.

We also had an intern with the Dr, so she actually performed the u/s. She said because there is 2, it's difficult to know if you are hearing 1 or 2 HB, or the same baby over and over again. DH said he heard 2, because she put the wand in two different places. All I could feel was pressure on my belly.

Also brought up the fact that I started having lower abdomen/pelvic pain since Sunday afternoon. Hurts when I cough, sit, or bend over. Hard to explain the pain. But they said it was probably my uterus growing and stretching. Posted the pain aches on my Due in March Board, and most of the ladies said they have the same uterine stretching too. Phew!

Still feeling good. Tired, but good. I did weigh myself at the Dr too. And only gained 8 pounds in 8 weeks. Not sure if that's good or not.

I think I like this....

So I am now in my second trimester. Woo Hoo! Huge milestone. And I am surprised by how good I actually feel. I do have the dry heaves some morning (once a week, if that), but no nausea. I am still tried but I do feel that I have more energy that the first 13 weeks.

I still haven't told my work yet, guess I am a little scared that something can still go wrong. I hate all this worrying. My OBGYN appt still isn't until Oct 15. But since our 12 week u/s came back really good, you would think the worry would stop. Nope!

13 weeks

13 weeks:
I'm 3.5 inches CRL & weigh 1.5 ounces; I'm practicing smiling, grimacing, frowning, and squinting.
I'm developing my vocal cords for all that screaming I'll be doing in the middle of the night.

Update

So we finally told my parents this past. Told mum first as dad was having a nap. Mum started balling, then DH started balling.. Long story short is they are so happy for us.
Mum already wants to start baby shopping.
And she's been calling more often already asking "How you feeling, or what protein did you have today, You know you need more calcium now"

ARGHHHH....We've been trying 5+ years to be pregnant, we've done our research; I think we already know what we are supposed to be eating. I know she means well tho...

12 weeks:
I'm 3 inches & weigh one ounce. My tiny unique fingerprints & all 20 teeth are formed.
Gross! I'm already secreting urine! Good thing I am generous enough to stay in here to save on diapers.

Milestone #2 accomplished!

Had our NT scan this afternoon. And both babies are doing fine despite all the worrying, passed the NT scan with flying colours. Abnormalities are over 1 in 4,000 so nothing to worry about.

What a huge weight off our shoulders!

Baby A: Was flip floping around. HB: 149
Baby B: Looked asleep. HB: 158

The babies are measuring 13w2d. And we are at 12w2 days give or take. Baby A is measuring smaller than Baby B now. But everything is RIGHT on track.

PHEW!!!!!

Back from mini holiday

As you read from my last post....the start to the holiday wasn't the greatest...But then felt wonderful except for a couple of tummy aches and being tired....

Took the ferry over to the island to visit with the in-laws friends, and the first morning there...ending up throwing up..but I hadn't eaten yet. Looked like orange juice....and it came sputting through my nose. YUCK!!! Needless to say I was smelling OJ all day!

The throw up night the host made a seafood lasagna....Was a little weary eating it, cuz it's taken up so long to get pg, I don't want to chance anything....

Countdown to the NT scan and another peak at the babies is on....Till Friday!

11 weeks:
I'm 2 inches CRL & weigh half and ounce; I can swallow & my tiny tooth buds are forming.
Nothing says "I'm pregnant" like chronic constipation.
