Update

Since I'm starting this blog at 12 weeks and 2 days....I'm going to catch you up on the past 12 weeks...Steve (husband) and I found out I was pregnant March 29th...it was planned. We started trying in February...so we were lucky it didn't take long. For anyone trying to get pregnant, we highly recommend using clearblue fertility sticks....it worked like a charm.


We had our first doctor's visit at 8 weeks...it was such an amazing experience to see our baby for the first time and to hear its heartbeat. Steve really wanted twins and kept asking the doctor where the second fetus was haha She kept having to tell him there was only one baby inside :)


Here is a picture of our first ultra sound:

The following week I happened to be at the office when I went to the ladies room and noticed I was bleeding. Now that was a scare! I immediately called the doctor who sent me to the hospital...we had another ultrasound at 9.5 weeks. The baby looked healthy and the heartbeat measured a strong 177 bpm....Ill never forget Steve's face as he looked at the u/s machine- he looked as if he were about to cry.

I did have to go to the doctor the following morning and get a shot in the butt since I'm 0 negative. Luckily the bleeding has stopped and not returned knock on wood!

Our next doctor's appointment was at 11 weeks and 2 days...our doctor is great. We had our NT scan scheduled for the same day, so she asked if we wanted to have an u/s with her as well...well of course we did! It's always a bit nerve wracking not knowing if the baby is okay, so it's very reassuring to see it and hear a heartbeat. Here are the pictures at 11 weeks and 2 days:

Funny how one looks like an alien (our lil peanut is covering its ears with its hands) and how one looks like a baby's profile from the side....
So we had the NT scan that day, they were able to take the blood, however the baby was measuring too small for the test, so we have to go back today. It's a pain, but so worth it since we get to see our munchkin again! Luckily I have had a rather easy pregnancy...no morning sickness at all. I have been very tired and have awful food aversions...but as far as pregnancy symptoms go...I've been lucky! So now that you've been brought up to speed....I'll start posting updates Weekly!
