9.2 week belly

I had to take a belly pic cause Josie told me that my belly was growing. Silly girl!

Jealous!

I could trade places with Zoe for a day. All she does is eat and sleep. It would be so nice.

10.1 wks

I am so emotional today!!!! I am one day further than I made it my last pregnancy. I had my D&E at exactly 10 weeks last October. It was one of the hardest times of my life. I am so happy that I have passed that milestone but still fear for the future. I am so grateful I have made it this far. I really wish I could see or hear baby so that I knew he/she is still growing. I can't tell if the emotion is excitement or fear, probably a combination of both. Come on little one, let mommy find you on the doppler so she can stop worrying about you.

8 wks 5 days

Symptoms-exhausted all.the.time, all day nausea, constipation, HB, heart palpitations, bleeding gums, bloat. I think I have every pregnancy symptom possible but I am not complaining, they reassure me that LO is growing. Oh and I have had a headache every day for the past few days that never seems to go away. Cravings-ketchup???? Really??? Yesterday I just wanted ketchup. Some days salty, some days sweet. Starbursts!!!! I tried my Doppler yesterday even though I know that it is still early. I cannot wait til I can hear the bebe's heartbeat next to mine.

8 wk appt

I had my 8wk prenatal appt today with the doc I met when he did my D&C. I have to stay with an OBGYN until I am no longer considered high risk. After today I can go back to a midwife so my next appt is with my midwife!!!! Yayyyyy!!!! Appt went well. Didn't really do much and didn't get to see baby. He said everything looks great and my uterus is a good size. I will update more later, I am exhausted. I feel good enough about this pregnancy that I bought a pair of maternity capris from motherhood. I still have my maternity clothes but they are all for winter. I've never been pregnant through the summer. Oh ya... I've gained one lb already and it's probably all in my top shelf. I already had to buy a size bigger in hardware for the girls.

7 weeks!!!! Our beautiful baby is measuring 7 weeks exactly and has a HB of 133!!!! No empty sac, we have a BABY! The u/s tech knew our story and pointed to the little heart flickering away and asked if I could see it. The tears started flowing uncontrollably from both Spencer and I. It was such a beautiful moment. It's not the greatest pic cause I used my phone at a bad angle but here "she" is! This gave us enough faith to tell the kids about their little brother or sister. Tyson was just like oookaaaaayyy, and Josie said, "Oh mommy! This is amamzing!!" as she hugged me. Ha ha! They are so different, I love it!

I have my second u/s scheduled for tomorrow. The fear has brought up the memories and emotions of my journey with my angel baby......
