We found out in the middle of July that we are expecting another little girl into our family! We got to go sneak a peak when I was about 15 weeks pregnant.......a perk of Colby working in the radiology department!
Then about a month ago we got to go in for our BIG ultrasound and get a better look at her. She looks to be developing great! However, she is a bit bigger than Hayden was. On my ultrasound report this one is showing an expected delivery date of 12/29/13------my due date isn't until January 6th!! I am hoping to at least go to the first of the year. With Hayden, the ultrasound report read that she would be born on 4/16/10 when my due date was in fact the 17th. She came right when the ultrasound predicted...........I'm hoping for some variability this time!!
We like to look at this little picture of her foot!
This picture on the left was taken at only 11 weeks! I definitely started showing FAST. I started getting asked if I was pregnant way early this time too. The picture on the right was when I was 17 weeks.
And here is on at 19 weeks just getting ready to go to work!
I am now at 24 weeks and haven't taken a picture in a while......I guess I had better!
Pregnancy thus far:
I started getting sick earlier, around 5 weeks. But it was just throwing up once or twice a day but by 7 weeks I couldn't go anywhere without my blue throw-up bags, Zofran, and Phenergan and still throwing up from the time I woke up till I was able to finally go to sleep. Luckily I was working as House Supervisor a lot at that point so there was a bathroom always close at work. Although I think I was quite sick this go round, I still don't think it was as bad as last time. I actually caved and used meds to help me out a little bit for this pregnancy---I think I was too stubborn last time. The Zofran didn't seem to help much but it does take the edge off. Phenergan works better but it knocks me out and makes me exhausted the entire next day! Being really sick lasted until about 15 or 16 weeks and then it really started tapering and I finally regained a little bit of energy. I still throw up about every other day. Some days are worse than others. I notice that if I don't take my Zofran every single day, it wears off and then I have a bad day again. So I have been trying to keep on top of it to keep the vomiting to a minimum.
I started feeling her move very quickly this go round-----she is quite the acrobat!! I started feeling the subtle movements around 11 or 12 weeks. She really started to crank it up around 17 to 18 weeks then Colby finally felt her at 20 weeks. This was all significantly sooner than last time. I can now, at 24 weeks, see my belly really ripple with her movements. I just wonder what it's going to be like in my third trimester! She is going to mutilate me from the inside out haha!!
We have not settled on a name.....not even close!! It is definitely a lot harder this go round! Millie calls her Kennedy......that one is currently a frontrunner but we are definitely not settled.
Just a few more weeks until third trimester!! Time is definitely ticking!!
