I meant to start this at the beginning of the pregnancy to keep everyone updated, but with work and Amber's ballgames, haven't really had the time.
Today, I am 14 weeks and 2 days pregnant and couldn't be any happier...other than heartburn during the first 5 or 6 weeks and a head and chest cold that keeps coming back, I have had the most uneventful pregnancy -- I guess uneventful, but have nothing to compare it to, so, uneventful for me!!
I went for my 13 week doctors appointment last Tuesday, February 3rd! It was a bit of a scare at the beginning because it was supposed to be just a regular appointment where they listened to the baby's heartbeat with the doppler. However, they neglected to tell me that there might be a problem with find the heartbeat because of the extra "fluffiness" in my tummy....they ended up doing yet another ultrasound and everything looked fine and right on track. Todd was able to go with me and he got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time...he was amazed!! A whopping 158 beats per minute!
I scheduled my next doctors appointment for March 3rd. I will be 17 weeks at that point and she still thought it might be too early to find out the gender, so, she said she will order another ultrasound 2 weeks after that....We are looking at March 17th for the "sex" ultrasound!!
Todd and I are really hoping for a girl, but will really be happy with boy, just as long as it is healthy!
I have some ultrasound pictures that I am going to try to scan and add to the blog --- wish me luck!
