14 Weeks!

Today was my 14 week visit with the Dr. I was so nervous that I was getting a bit light headed. I guess it didn't help that it was lunch time. :) Within a few short minutes she put me on the table and found the heartbeat pretty quick this time with the doppler! Good and Strong. Relief flooded over me and I've been on a happy high all day. So glad all is well!
Above is a picture we took sunday.. I think I've finally beaten Aaron :) The shirt I wore emphasizes it a bit, and the buttons down the front added extra bulk. More pictures with 18 week ultrasound and baby's sex in 4 weeks!

Abundant Blessings

Its been a crazy few days, but I'll start by saying all is well! 

On Monday the 2nd I went in to see my OB Dr Culburt for the very first time. I was so sick with nervousness that I almost threw up in the waiting area. There were several pregnant ladies waiting. It felt so good to finally be apart of that group! 

Once I got in she immediately talked to me about my nausea and said she will put me on a type of sleeping pill called unisom plus vitamin B6. She said it should help. We then talked about ORM and the process I went through. She was so kind and interested. She then had me lay down to listen to Baby's heartbeat with the doppler... I was so nervous and anxious. She couldn't find the heartbeat at all. I started crying and freaking out. She said "don't you worry, it's likely my fault, lets go take a look at your baby" She kicked out her nurse setting up the ultrasound machine in another room for another patient and immediately put me on the table and found the baby. Baby pea was moving so much! Turning and twisting, sitting up and laying down. She said because baby was moving so much that's why she couldn't get a heartbeat with the Doppler and he happened to be sitting low. She tried hard to get a good still picture, but pea wasn't up for holding still. The ink ran out on the machine, so I just a took a picture of the screen with my phone. What you see in the picture is baby facing away from you, with the face up at the left. Just so darn cute! 

So because I've made it to 12 weeks the chances of miscarriage have gone down considerably and I can breath a huge sigh of relief! Thank heaven for answered prayers!

I was so happy and thrilled that I decided to go ahead and take the kids across the state to a 4 day family reunion without Aaron, camping! It was so great visiting with family that I neglected my body signals and preceded to get sicker until the last night at 3 in the morning ( i swear the whole camp heard me) I lost all the junk food plus I had injested the entire 4 days. Let me just say I will never EVER eat clam dip with ruffles again. TMI? Probably, but it's my blog. Hah! 

Even though I still feel sick and hugely tired I am grateful for the continued signs of pregnancy that remind me of the little blessing growing inside.
