13 Week Bumpdate



I finally got to see my little baby today!  It seems like it took forever to get here!  I had my first ultrasound with Baby Girl at 12 weeks, 5 days so they are very comparable in size.

The heart rate today was 171 and, again, I didn't write down the heart rate for Baby Girl at this time so I can't compare!  I think hers was still in the 160 range.  The baby didn't move nearly as much as Baby Girl did at this point.  He or she just chilled with his or her hands up by his or her head, like he or she was laying in a hammock!

Everything looks good.  Doctor says the baby is measuring perfectly according to my due date.  They did the neck test for Downs and that was normal as well.

I took Baby Girl with to see the ultrasound.  She was a little freaked out at first.  I don't think she liked being in the room.  But once the lights went off and we got situated, she was fascinated by the screen.  She was bored with it after about five minutes.  Oh well!

I thought the nausea and morning sickness had subsided but I was wrong.  It's back...and it's worse than ever!  I have been getting sick for the past three days.  It's horrible!  So much different from last time.  The backaches are bad and I started to get headaches already.

I have been trying to go to bed earlier but I am always tired.  I guess I can't help that when I've got a toddler to chase after and a baby feeding off of me!

No serious cravings, but I think that's mostly because I'm so sick all of the time.  I'm happy to report that I still haven't gained a pound, but my retainer of -4 pounds is now down to -2! 

I had originally said that I didn't have strong feeling of boy or girl on this one.  I was kind of hoping for another little girl but I just wasn't sure.  I think I have to change my vote. 

I just got this overwhelming feeling after the ultrasound that this one is a boy.  I can't really explain it but it was just this weird feeling I got.  That and this pregnancy has been completely different from the last one.  I guess we will just have to wait and see.  I don't think the gender ultrasound with the doctor is until April.

So here he or she is!  There is only one in there, no twins like my husband's friend kept saying there would be (not that I would have minded at all!).

Now the hard part is going to be talking my husband OUT of naming him Bryan Jr if it is a boy!

Don't forget to vote!  Boy or Girl?!
Next update in 4 weeks!

    Oh how I miss this. I miss looking up every week how big the baby was and what was going on. I loved the kicking and the movement. It was like my own little secret that no one else could feel. It was just for me. Congrats on baby and thanks for sharing with us.

    Nausea doesn't sound too fun, hang in there! I am sure it is all worth it in the end :)

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

Big News!

We have been trying very hard to keep this to ourselves for just a little while longer but I can't wait anymore!    Baby Miller #2...due 09/01/13!!!!!!!!! I am 8 weeks and 1 day I have known since Christmas Eve I am much more tired and much more nauseous this time around I haven't gained a single pound yet, unlike last time I am not so secretly hoping it's another girl If this one is anything like Baby Girl, he or she will be born mid-August I've been leaving hints all over the place but no one noticed! I am so excited!   I've already had one doctor's appointment but I was only 7 weeks so there wasn't much to do.  We couldn't hear the heartbeat or anything so the next appointment will be much more exciting!  My next appointment isn't until February 11th so that's when I'll get to hear and possibly see my next little monster!  So exciting!   PS:  Notice the blog title?!
