I wanted to post this yesterday and didn't get a chance!
Well first off, I thought my doctor's appointment was Monday and it turns out it was actually scheduled for Tuesday. Oops. Pregnancy brain. They were nice enough to see me anyway. I was hoping for an ultrasound but no such luck. That's a good thing because it means we finally heard the heartbeat!
I was 9 weeks when we heard Baby Girl's heartbeat and let me tell you, waiting these extra two weeks to hear it was terrible! I was so nervous that we weren't going to be able to hear it. He tried using the abdominal Doppler at first but no luck. So then he went in with the vaginal Doppler and after an uncomfortable minute or two, we had a hear beat.
174.
Nice and strong. For some reason, I didn't write it on my blog what Baby Girl's first heart rate was but I think it was in the 160's.
Anyway, I go back in 2 weeks for my first ultrasound and I can't wait! I was pretty sick over the past week with a terrible cold but it seems like that is getting better now. The doctor didn't seem to be concerned by it.
So, for now, I am not doing too badly. The nausea and morning sickness has pretty much subsided. It was much worse this time around. I have been really tired this past week but I think that was just from the cold I have. It's definitely hard being pregnant and having a toddler to take care of.
I was craving sweet cereal pretty badly. I was going through a box a week! Captain Crunch, Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms. Now Baby Girl loves Lucky Charms! But I haven't had too many cravings lately. Maybe it's because of the cold.
I was getting worried because even though I was eating more the past two weeks, I was still losing some weight. It looks like I may have gained a pound over the past week, though, so I'm not worried about it anymore. Still down 3 pounds!
And boy has my belly popped!!
Sorry about the bathroom photo. I took it quickly at work and wasn't able to get a better shot.

I took this one today but it didn't come out as good as I had hoped. Next time I will have a better picture!
Now that you've seen the bump, don't forget to vote! Boy or Girl?!
Next update in 2 weeks!
Your bump is SO cute!! I'm guessing GIRL!
ReplyDeleteOh the wait for the first ultrasound is the worst!!!! Army hospital makes you wait til you're 22 weeks too- not even a crying pregnant lady would soften their hearts!! I am gonna vote for team blue- because I think more morning sickness means boy or twins... Lol.. But your bump seems to little for twins.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, you are such a cute mommy! Glad you were able to hear her heartbeat. Yup, her. I'm off to vote. ;)
