18 weeks...Baby is the size of a Sweet Potato!

How far along? 18 Weeks

Feeling: Great actually, outside of the aches and pains daily I am feeling pretty good. My uterus stretching is a pain though.

Maternity clothes? Only a pair of maternity jeans, otherwise I just wear leggings, or flowy empire waist tops. I haven't really made the leap to buy more maternity clothes but I do need them.

Sleep: I can stay up a lot later now! I bought a snoogle and its the best sleep of my life. So recommend for pregnant ladies out there :)

Food cravings: Honestly nothing really... I have hit a break lol.

Movement? I have felt baby flutter around in there here and there :)

What I miss? Nothing! I would not trade this for anything.

Best moment this week: This post is long overdue...but two weeks ago we found out we are having a baby GIRL! We are so thrilled...we both wanted a girl so bad.

What I'm looking forward to: We get to see the baby  in two weeks again for my A/S!

Next Appointment: April 16 for my 3 hour glucose test... I failed the one hour :(

Milestones: Baby should be hearing now!

Here is our baby girl...Sadie Mae P.

10 Weeks (2 days, Oops a little late)... Baby is now the size of a Prune!

How far along? 10 weeks 2 days

Feeling: Pretty good other than the constipation...I have to try something soon because this is nuts! Hubby finds it funny but I beg to differ. Still pretty tired but I can stay up past 10 now haha.

Maternity clothes? Just my shirt I take weekly bump pics in.

Sleep: Still pretty sleepy.

Food cravings: Hard boiled eggs with mustard and mayo

Movement? Nope nothing, way too early.

What I miss? Nothing! I would not trade this for anything.

Best moment this week: I finally heard the heart beat on the doppler! Even if it was for a few seconds it was amazing.

What I'm looking forward to: We get to see the baby  on Tuesday :)

Next Appointment: February 19th

Milestones: Baby should be moving now!

Baby's Heart Beat 9 weeks 5 days

I have been trying for the last couple weeks to hear a heart beat...it is so frustrating to not ever find anything! After some v.e.r.y. long sessions, and numerous proddings...and pokings...and bruised areas...I finally got to hear it a few seconds...and even record it :)

I am so blessed to get to hear it...with hardly any symptoms I love hearing that baby is still alive and doing well. Daddy and I can't wait to see you on Tuesday again sweet pea. We already love you soooo much!

Last but not least....our baby's heart beat :)

Feeling: Pretty good actually. No real nausea anymore unless I don't eat. Pretty tired still.

Maternity clothes? Just my shirt I take weekly bump pics in.

Sleep: Still can't get enough!

Food cravings: I have been LOVING orange juice!

Movement? Nope nothing, way too early.

Best moment this week: We got to see the gummy bear on Tuesday! It was awesome.

8 Weeks 3 days...Take a look at our gummy bear!

Well I had my 8 week ultrasound today. I should be at 8 weeks 3 days, only based off of my last appointment. Baby measured at 8 weeks 2 days, which is what they would be based off LMP. Everything went well for the most part. Hubby couldn't make it so my mom went as a stand in. She got to see and hear the baby for the first time! It was awesome having her there. Unfortunately I was dehydrated apparently, and little one's heart beat was at 182. Needless to say I have been chugging water ever since. The nurse also said my blood pressure was high...BOO. I am hoping it is a fluke due to being dehydrated but they want to send me to a high risk doctor for a consult.

Other than that everything seems to be going just fine! They actually managed to get a really good shot of our little gummy bear. (That is what it looks like!)

Next appointment in 2 weeks :)

Sleep: Still so sleepy.

Food cravings: None really.

Movement? Nope nothing, way too early.

What I miss? Nothing! I would not trade this for anything.

Best moment this week: Seeing our little bean on Tuesday and hearing its little heart beat :)

What I'm looking forward to: We get to see the baby again on Tuesday :)

7 Weeks 6 Days

We have almost hit the 8 week mark, and I couldn't be more terrified. I have realized that I am one of the paranoid pregnant women. I feel like everything is going wrong! I have had nausea this last week almost constantly through the day, and as of 3 days ago? Nothing. I have been virtually p-e-r-f-e-c-t in that department. I woke up this morning and my boobs barely hurt unless I poke them and they are not as full and heavy. This freaks me out. I wish they still hurt and I was still sick to my stomach so that I knew everything was OK in there! I know pregnancy symptoms come and go but I still feel like I should feel SOMETHING. Plus I Google everything which does not help matters. I haven't had cramping or any spotting, but am terrified that come Tuesday when we have our 2nd ultrasound the doctor will tell me that the baby stopped growing and has no heartbeat. I pray every night that this little bean is OK. I cannot imagine starting this process all over again.Until next time, from a very paranoid pregnant woman ;)
