It's A....

GIRL!!!! The tech said she is measuring right on time and appears to be very healthy!! She is definitely smalled than Hunter was at almost 20 weeks. We are so excited and nervous at the same time. Thank goodness she will have her big brother to look out for her!!

Look out world, there is going to be one pretty lady joining us very soon!

Will scan and post her pics soon!

Love,
Nicole

Time is flying

18 weeks! Woah, where did the time go? We are just one week away from the big ultrasound. If this little one cooperates, we will find out if it's a boy or a girl! We are so so so excited. I bet this week will feel like the longest week in history...ok, maybe not...but close!

I am still tired but am feeling much better! Thank goodness. Round the clock nausea is not fun! Am just looking forward to this upcoming appointment and then the holiday season will be upon us. Ahhhh...my favorite time of year!

Please keep us in your prayers for this upcoming appointment/ultrasound. The most important thing is that this baby is healthy!!!

Love to you all,

Nicole

So sick of feeling sick...lol!

I definitely thought I would be feeling so much better by now, but the sick feeling is still lingering. The past week has felt like 1st trimester all over again. At least I know the baby is doing well, but man, I am ready to feel GOOD! No, GREAT! LOL!

We are only 4 weeks away from the big ultrasound. Let's hope this little one cooperates! If not, it will be a surprise until March!! I am starting to feel like I know what the gender is...but will keep it to myself until I know if I am right!!!!!

Love to all!

Doctor appointment

We had our doctor appointment today! Wee One is 13w5d and getting big! Look at that looooong leg! WOW! The entire time this little one was kicking and waving and dancing around. It was so much fun. Hunter was amazed! He couldn't stop staring. Lane and I both tried to see if we could tell if it's a boy or a girl...but no such luck! If s/he decides to cooperate, we will find out on October 27th! That's only about 5 1/2 weeks from now....woah!

Besides the fun ultrasound, everything else went great. All of our screening tests came back negative, which is awesome. I somehow have manged to only gain .9, so almost a pound! Pretty impressive for almost 14 weeks if I do say so myself.

I have the day off today so Hunter and I are going to get out of the house for awhile. Will update again soon!

Love to you all,

Nicole

P/S Doesn't the baby look like s/he is sitting inside of a heart?! Now that is LOVE!

2nd Trimester

Well, here we are! We will "officially" be in our second trimester on Monday. Seriously, that went by really fast which makes me nervous! When I was pregnant with Hunter, time seemed to pass so slowly...not this time. Overall, I am feeling a lot better. I still have my barfy moments, but not near as bad as it was, thank goodness. My belly is starting to pop. If you ask Hunter where the baby is, he pats my tummy...too cute!

Next doctor appointment is a week from today with another ultrasound-so more pictures to follow soon!

Lots of love to you all!

10 weeks

Well, we have officially made it to 10 weeks! I am definitely ready to start feeling better and it just hasn't happened yet. I'll have a few days of feeling pretty good and then- BAM!- back to feeling icky. I am not complaining since it's a good sign, I am just ready for food to sound good again!

The doppler is being broken in nicely, hehehe! Last night this little one was playing hide and seek which I did not find funny...at all! Heartbeat is still ranging between 170-175 which is nice and strong.

I am ready for second trimester to get here...just a few short weeks away!!!

Doppler & Heartbeat!!!

So, the Doppler arrived today!!! Lane gave me the pep talk on remembering that it's still early and not to panic if we don't hear anything. I thought to myself, maybe we should wait, but that thought lasted about .5 seconds! How on earth could I not try immediately? HELLO! Hehehe! Anyways, we busted the Doppler out and....WE IMMEDIATELY HEARD A GOOD, STRONG HEARTBEAT!!! WOHOOOO! Our little one's hear rate ranged between 170-175! Music to our ears!

We will record it the next time we check and see if we can post it here. Holy toledo, we are even more excited!!! At 9 weeks 4 days we got to hear our baby's heart beating away! Yahooo!!!
