Its a boy!

Oh my..I have been super busy with work and everything I haven't posted in so long. Well we found out today that we will be having a boy! We were supposed to be having a girl but I guess not? lol I haven't really much to talk about everything has pretty much been on cruise control for a while now. My Quad Screen results showed Negative x3! So no open neural tube defects or anything detected :) Iam one happy MOMMA!

As for fetal movement I haven't really felt anything and Iam now 5 months and 1 day! I mean I feel little movements here and there but Im not sure if its gas or not lol. I haven't really picked out names either I guess because I wanted to be SURE of what we were having before I really started name hunting.

And the best part of pregnancy has to be THE WEIGHT...blah I have gained 6 lbs so far..I know that doesn't sound like much but my tummy is getting HUGE and I don't know where it's coming from either? Oh well at least its not 15-20 lbs :)

p.s. As I was typing this blog I felt a whole bunch of fluttering in my belly..is it the baby? ohh I wish I could tell for sure!

=]

Today I had my follow up appointment and guess what?! NO BACTERIA yessss! Now I'm doing well and you know what I haven't burped up that ulgy taste in about 3 days *knock on wood* I think I figured out the problem..my prenatal vitamins I took it and about 5 minutes later I burped up and it finally clicked, its the vitamins!

So I have been going to work this past week and am doing quite well I mean I still get nauseous but its not as bad as it was before.


Well anyways, back to the appointment the ultrasound machine wasn't working very well today it actually kept messing up so the doctor wasn't able to do any measurements or print pictures but thank God I had my camera phone with me so I snapped two pictures and a video of the baby's heartbeat♥

I will be going back in a month for my next visit unless I have any problems and lets hope I don't! It's just sad to think I have to wait a whole month again to see the baby! =[

Blood Anyone?

Okay so last night was horrific, I kept waking up with terrible stomach cramping on and off all night. This morning I woke up feeling like a zombie and was super nauseous, so I finally called in sick for the first time and they told me to go ahead and come in for an appointment (I hate sounding like a baby crier). So I came in and I took my mom with me and they said that it could be that it's getting worse so Dr. Barnes had me go in for an ultrasound to make sure the baby was okay first. The baby has grown so much in just 4 days, and guess what? The heart rate went up to 130 today. My mother joked around about how the baby looked like Patrick Star from Spongebob Squarepants *lol* Now the measurements say baby is 7 weeks and 4 days! We should get an accurate measurement in 2 more weeks.

Now to the serious part..

Vampires came out..it was time to draw my blood again :( So okay I had 2 tubes of blood and he also wanted me to have a blood culture and boy its weird..its like glass jars of some kind and they have to draw out 2 bottles and repeat it in 30 minutes. Well, as we all know I'm a super hard stick so they had trouble finding my veins in total I got stuck 5 times today..and not only that I had to get a shot on my bum!! I'm telling you today was not good.

But I get to be off of work today and tomorrow..I surely hope that everything is fine Thursday when I return back to the office.

Till then keep me in your prayers.

First Appointment

eee! I'm excited! Today was my first visit and let me tell you its HARD to fast, I wanted water so bad. The visit went very well :) I finally got to hear the baby's heartbeat♥ it was truly amazing. I'm surprised I didn't cry (I'm such a baby) I also found out that I'm about 6 weeks and 5 days and my EDD is May 17, 2009..which is our 3 year anniversary! I will be going back next Friday for my lab results lets *cross our fingers* and hope everything comes out normal. Could you believe I've gained 2 lbs in a week? I need to watch what I'm putting in my mouth. Ohh and today I didn't get nauseous either YAY!



Well I'm going to go to my parents house and show them my pictures :>
goodbye
