11 Weeks!

Hello,

I know I have not updated in a while, but here I go =). We went in yesterday for an ultrasound and I cant even tell you how excited we were. The difference between this week and 2 weeks ago is nuts! The little baby is now about about 1.6 inches long and about .25 ounces. To give you an idea, that is about the size of a small lime. It may seem really small still, but this time we were able to see almost everything. We saw arms, legs, head, body, even the nose was visible. It was so neat. The doctor said the baby was measuring right on, eventhough 2 of the pictures say I am 12w 4d instead of 11w 2d, but that was because she had my due date entered into the computer incorrectly.

I think the best part of the visit was that the baby had hiccups while we we there so the doctor would hold still for a minute and you could see the rythmic hiccups, it was so cute. It made me giggle =0).

We will go back on 11-11-11, but I do not think the doctor will do an ultrasound again until I am 18 weeks =0(. Maybe I will have to go visit Melissa (my sister) at her school one of these upcoming weeks and have her sneak a peak with their equipment!

Here are some pictures:

9 Weeks!

Well, I am not going to lie, these last 2 weeks were quite stressful. I have been really anxious about going to the doctor again, and have not been feeling completely up to par. So far my morning sickness has been pretty on and off, but I feel like it stepped up a little these past two weeks. I can't tell you how many nights I came home from work, went straight to the couch and never moved. . . . Poor Adam is probably ridiculously tired of taking care of me all the time =o).

Well, we got to relieve a little bit of those nerves today. We had another appointment and got to see our little baby again. It was great! The doctor had quite a bit of trouble getting a measurement and a decent picture because the little he/she refused to be still for even a second =o). I am considered 9 weeks today and the baby was measuring 8 weeks 6 Days (close enough) and the heart was beating at 181bpm, which is great. Here are a few pictures:




I was a little sad because I now have to leave my fertility doctor and schedule an appointment with a regular OBGYN, but hopefully the new doctor (once I decide who), will be just as great. I hope to get in with a new doctor within the next 2 weeks. My fertility doctor will still be doing blood tests on me and monitoring my hormone levels until I am completely off of my hormone supplements, but no more ultrasounds with him =o(.

I am starting to notice slight body changes, but nothing that I believe would be too visible to others yet. I can tell that my clothes are getting a little snug and I am quite uncomfortable when I button most of my pants, but to be honest, I am loving it because it means that the little baby is growing!!! :) Here is my 9 Week picture:


Well, I think that is about it for now. I will check back with you all soon. Love you!
