So last time I blogged (I know I am awful at keeping this up as a daily thing, but I will always update eventually) I was going to the doctor that week. Well, we have had TWO more doctors appointments since then! When we went to the first of the two, we got to see the baby again. SO much bigger! While we were looking at the baby, it did a complete turn and flipped sides. It was pretty cool. Didn't look to much like a baby, more like a teddy bear alien type thing. haha. I mean that with all the love in the world my future baby! Then we got to hear the heartbeat! It took a lot of work from the doctor. Apparently the baby wanted to be extra difficult and position itself really far back. But with some patience and effort from the doctor, we heard the heart beat! It was breath taking! I just looked up at Billy and couldn't stop smiling! I can't even describe the feelings that washed through me. All I can say is that it was pretty amazing!
We went back to the doctor two weeks after that (yesterday) for some testing. Basically they look at the folds on the back of the baby's neck and do blood work and tell me the odds of my baby having Downs Syndrome. But just from the sonogram part there is really no chance of the baby having Downs. The baby is so much bigger, again! And in the begging of the sonogram was so active! As part of the test, they need to get the baby to do this little jumping motion. So I had to cough and she would push on my belly to get the baby moving. It was so cool how much baby was moving around! Baby even started to wave! We could see its little arm just moving back and forth saying hi! Then half way through the baby grew tired of entertaining us and decided it was time to stop. Luckily they got a good view of things before hand and everything looked great! I go back in a month just for a check up and then in two months, we are hoping to see what the sex is!
My mom's boyfriends' daughter has a three year old son so they decided to give me their old infant carrier. Super exciting. Very first baby thing!! I can't wait to find out what the baby is so I can start buying clothes and what not!
When people say creating a human being is hard work, they are not joking. Holy crap! I am always so exhausted! I have never been so exhausted from just waking up in the morning and making breakfast before! Hopefully since I am starting my second trimester things will get a little easier. They say your second trimester things get better so we shall see!
