We love it!
We still check for her heartbeat daily. And before anyone wonders why I'm using "she" and "her" today its because I've been using "he" since the get go and Brian and I decided we should test out how "she" feels for a while.
I keep trying to go every other day and sometimes I can do it but usually I can't.
Last night, she gave us quite the scare with the doppler. The longest it has ever taken us to find the heartbeat since that first time has literally been a minute and usually it is closer to 15 seconds! But last night she didn't want anything to do with the doppler and it took a good ten minutes before we decided to get up and take a break because we were both going a bit crazy. Five mintues later we came back to it and within 30 seconds there she was, beating away!
HUGE sigh of relief.
But I think I'm done with the doppler for a few days. I don't want to be that scared again!
I say that, I'll probably cave and do it again tonight or in the morning!
I have another appointment set for Monday, including an ultrasound, this time with a MFM. I'm not too sure what the appointment will entail but they did say they'd do a "detailed" ultrasound so I'm excited!
How far along? 13 weeks
Total weight gain: - 1 pound (as of 12w2d....I refuse to weigh myself at home though so I'll have to wait until my 16 week appointment to find out for sure)
Maternity clothes? Still in my BeBands
Stretch marks? No.
Sleep: Still want to sleep all the time but starting to deal with some insomnia. Ick!
Best moment this week: Hearing her heart beat after I couldn't find it for so long! Sweet relief!
Miss Anything? Nope!
Movement: Not yet.
Food cravings: Still no cravings.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Being awake makes me queasy! I thought it was getting better and I suppose it still is better but it's also gotten a wee bit worse again. I haven't been able to keep dinner down lately. Not fun!
Gender prediction: No clue!
Labor Signs: Geez, hope not!
Symptoms: Tired, sore boobs, nausea, vomiting, headaches, heartburn
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.

I've had a few scares with the Doppler recently too. Maybe because they are moving around so much? Enjoy your ultrasound on Monday- post some pics!

I love these posts!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry the little one scared you, but so glad it was just that, a scare.
13 weeks! So awesome!!! So excited for you and Brian, and sorry for that doppler scare! I am thinking of getting one but am scared that I will become a wee bit obsessive over it. Can't wait to hear about the "detailed" ultrasound on Monday! That sounds so exciting!!!
