Random Week 13 Appointment!

Hello There! Today I went to a random appointment... one that the doctor seemed to think was necessary! He told me all my blood tests were good, and had me set up my next appointment for 3 weeks for more blood tests, and 4 weeks after that my Anatomy Scan!! If you ask me, all this could have been done over the phone! 


Baby's heartbeat was easy to find, and I even heard him/her kicking towards the probe, as well as the movement of the baby. All things I had previously heard with my Doppler at home! 


Doctor is very optimistic and told me with a heart beat like this- This baby isn't going anywhere! He/She is happy where she is and will stay there until its time for his/her arrival! 


Next Appointment is December 21st and Anatomy Scan is January 20th!! Gender guesses are  welcome!!! 


Until Nest Time!! 

Week 12!! Goodbye First Trimester!!!

Hello everyone! We are please to announce we've made it to the 2nd trimester!! We have been to our 12 week appointment with the Perinatologist. She said Baby looks Great! Next appointment is Monday with OBGYN to go over ultrasound and blood test results and to plan my triple screen!! 

Baby is about the size of a Lime, or a Grade A Large egg, depending on the book! It weighs approximately .5 ounces and will be around 5 ounces by Christmas!!! Looks like I'm not going to get to loose that Holiday weight this year!!! 

Here is baby chillin out! It actually took a while to get a shot where he/she wasn't squirming all over!! You can see the outline of the face, two little hands and baby's legs curled up at the far right. 

 Looks like baby is like Mommy and Daddy and already likes his/her thumb! See the little fingers defined? 

 Here is baby's face!!! Its amazing the detail of the jaw bones you can already see!!! 

 Last but not least, Mommy's belly!! Baby is trying to make itself visible! Its really nice to finally start to look pregnant! I'm so ready for that!! Good bye belly ring... hello baby bump!! 

Check back soon for more updates!!!! 

9 Weeks!!

It’s been 9 weeks already since little Baby Fors got comfy inside me! These days he/she has made Mommy’s favorite rooms the bathroom, the kitchen and anywhere where I can NAP! I very much so enjoy the couch, and my new pillow that helps me sleep! I am no longer in my pre-pregnancy jeans, and those around me are noticing the little bit of chunk I had in the front before now is taking a rounder shape. Sometimes my belly feels hard, and sometimes it doesn’t. We have purchased a Doppler but have not successfully found baby’s heart beat yet. 

There are more votes for Boy by my friend Jill, and my Aunt Jerilyn, but I am still in belief it is a girl. We will know in January if not December. Whatever it is, I’m happy!! A little less than 3 weeks until the next appointment, and we should be able to hear baby by then!! 

According to the books, Baby should now be moving around like a kick boxer!! His/Her optic nerve and eyelids should be formed. I can't wait to see it on the next scan!! 

Love Baby already!!

What do you think? Boy or Girl?
