15 weeks ;-)

This week was not so pleasant as I had bad stomach pain and started getting pretty bad skin allergies ;-(. We luckily got a Dr. appointment to check on my stomach pain and make sure the baby is ok and, yes baby is doing great. Eric said it sounded like a little robot when he heard baby's heartbeat soooooo cute. The Dr. was actually able to suggest some stuff to take for my allergies as well so I'm feeling much better, no more itching every two second. The stomach pain was nothing major so that is good. Anyway we have another check up in 2 weeks and then our big ultrasound in 3 and 1/2 weeks.

Eric also took an update picture of my belly today. I started measuring my belly to see how much it is grows and it went from 34" at about 12 weeks to now about 36.5" YAY.

13 week check up

Well we had our 13 week check up today, nothing crazy just checking my blood pressure and the baby's heart beat. It is beating very strong and rather fast so some would conclude girl, but we'll see what the Ultrasound Technician says in 5 weeks and 5 days. I guess let the guessing begin ;-) Our next check up is in 4 weeks on June 25th, yay. I can't believe we'll be 4 months by then, CRAZY how fast time goes by.

And we passed 12 weeks ;-)

I am 12 weeks and 1 day today, well according to the doctor I am 12 weeks and 5 days today, so whoop whoop only 191days ;-)

We kind of forgot taking a belly pic last week, so we took one today and wow the difference is quite noticeable at least to me. I feel more like a blob than pregnant but that belly will only get bigger. 7 more days until our next Dr. appointment and we will be done with trimester # 1!!!

Happy Mother's Day

Oh what a great weekend ;-) My lovely husband got me some really pretty roses on Saturday as for some reason I was just totally not feeling my self. He also decided to help me keep that pregnancy weight in check by buying me Sour Patches and Life Safe Sour Gummies. We spent the night in great company with our good friends Melody and Jack and some delicious Chicago Style pizza.

On Sunday morning my little Chloe Bear was all excited to hand me a card for mother's day, what a sweetheart I hope she will be equally as excited for the new addition. At night our dear friends Rachel and Jim came over for dinner and brought over the most beautiful pink tulips for mother's day for me (as Rachel is set that this little Baal will be a girl). We had the most amazing Cesar Salad and well once again Chicago Style Pizza, sooooooooo good ;-).

The Daddy Quiz

Eric took a quiz the other day about what kind of dad he will be and please note:

Ha, I'm gonna be a great daddy according to this quiz lol :-D

Diapers, baths, late-night feedings -- this dad will handle them all like a pro. You can count on him to administer the medicine for baby's first ear infection, and he'll probably want to take Junior to the doctor, as well. In fact, hands-on dads are so involved that they make great primary caregivers (this is the dad you want at home if you're planning to return to work). His parenting style will be based on nurturing, togetherness, and total involvement -- being there for his child will be his first priority.

Just in case he forgets, now it's blue on green so he won't be able to get out of diaper changes and sometimes getting up at night ;-).

9 week prenatal visit

Finally the day has come ;-) I've been counting down the days til today to finally get to see the baby again and know that everything is ok. After filling out tons of paper work Eric and I got to see our baby on the ultrasound screen. The Dr. called it a little Gummy Bear cuz, well it did kind of look like one ;-). He pointed out the head and the arms and legs, soooooooo cute. Needless to say we were super excited when he turned up the sound and we got to listen to the baby's heart beat. It was super fast but wow this was like the most amazing thing ever!!! The baby even did a little wiggle for us and we got a real good look at that little heart beating away ;-)





So after measuring the baby it turned out I am 9 weeks and 1 day. Our due date however was calculated on me being 9 weeks and 5 days so Baby Baal is expected to arrive around November 27th ;-).

Now it's time to wait again until in 4 weeks for my next check up. I will be 13 weeks and 1 day by then, CRAZY!

7 weeks pregnant and counting ;-)

Well not much to post, but here is a picture of my belly at 7 weeks and 1 day. Things are going great, I feel amazing besides feeling like a blob, LOL.
