Peek a Boo, I see you!

I have started to rack up quite a collections for so early on in a pregnancy. It's cool though because this kiddo can see itself from a gestational sac. More embarrassing that a bear skin rug picture? We'll see when they start dating ;)

3/26 - So this first one I "stole" (took a picture with my iphone after the doctor left). There was a mixture of wonder and fear going on when I took this. The doctor had just gotten through say "well it could be a pregnancy, or a miscarriage" this worried me and it sucked. I wanted to be excited and she ruined it for me. Oh well... I have a new OB now and lots of beautiful ultrasounds of a healthy growing baby... Yay!

4/9 - Second one, same doc. Here we see the yolk sac (and I think) the beginnings of the fetal pole. The doc was (a little) better and I had Jerry with me, I think she could clearly see how incredibly excited we were to see development. She said, "you're still not out of the woods yet" but she stfu when I said "well it's some development and that's great as far as I'm concerned"

4/19 - New (awesome) Doc and Baby is fully out of hiding!!! Wow at this point we were just shocked and crazy excited! Only 10 days since the "yolk sac" and there is a beautiful perfect fully formed one inch baby. arm and leg buds out and I swear to god it's smiling at us and dancing no less (Jerry took a little video I'll have to post someday when I figure that out). Happy, happy day!

5/13 - Appt. with NT nuchal translucency specialist I am requested to see at 12 weeks. Appt. was emotional for me, Jerry really helped me through this. It's so hard when they want to test you for disorders. I mean, it's good to be prepared, but does that mean we would love it any less? No. So some of it just seems like an exercise in futility and another reason to worry. Luckily we made out like bandits and had the best results you could possibly ask for. But then are asked "do you want the second round so you can have a 90% read?". "No thanks", I'm sure there are going to be plenty of chances for poking and prodding later. For those of you that have been through it maybe you can understand. At this point just want to enjoy this pregnancy and not spend time worrying about things that are god's plan anyway ;)

 Bye for now! Next time you see me we'll be seeing if I'll be playing team peen or team hoo-ha ;)









It's so nice to be through the first trimester. I feel a lot more relaxed and am getting excited more and more everyday having a happy pregnancy while waiting for our little one to arrive...
