Recent Dr. Appointment

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and I was able to hear my munchkin's heartrate again. The heart is still beating between 170 and 175 beats per minute. I can also feel the grwoing pains in my hips an sides. This baby must be growing pretty fast. I am starting to develop a little bump. I will post a photo soon. Near the end of April I will go to my big Ultrasound appointment and I will hopefully know then what gender my precious little one will be. After that I will be able to finally go shopping and post the registries. I am super excited and am glad to be able to share my journey here with you.

Hoot hoot!

This is the Owl Picture I painted for the Nursery. I painted it at Swirlz art, which is a local place where one goes to paint and have fun. I really love the Owl and am thinking that it will probably be a guide in what theme we end up choosing.

Update

I have not had a chance to update you all sooner, but I have just been really busy with school and student teaching.

About a month ago I had my last Appointment and I got to hear my munchkin's heartrate he/she was just pumping away at 175 beats per minute. I have my next appointment next week and can't wait.

Now what else am I doing?
I am trying to be healthy and eat well. I do, however, have chocolate and sweets (probably more than I should) but I am trying to cut back. I am also trying to have a good time with this pregnancy. I am now in week 15 and am working on starting to show. My belly is definetly starting to pop out and can't just be sucked in any more. ;) I am excited because now people can actually see it.

I recently painted an owl painting for the baby's room, but have not gotten any further on decorating ideas. My mom knitted an amazing blanket and some of my dear friends gave me some great gifts. I will add some pictures later.

For now all the best,
Until next time.

11 Weeks and going strong...

I am now about 11 weeks along and am ready to be done the first trimester. The nausea and the headaches are getting annoying but it could be worse. I had another Ultrasound this week and got to see the little one doing Gymnastics or Zumba in my Tummy. The heart beat was 175. On Thursday i went to my doctor and got to hear the heartbeat. My little worm is doing good so far and I am doing great.
Here is the Ultrasound. The little one has a face and arms, legs and all body part it is so very adorable.



I have been taking Prenavite and alsotrying to eat healthier. I have some fruits and veggies everyday. I also love yoghurt and a Pretzl roll with Goober. The other day I had eaten about 6 donuts. I love Krispy Kremes they are my favorites.

The news...

I am pregnant. As of this week we can put me at about 9 weeks. :D I found out that I was pregnant about 4 -5 weeks ago. I went to Urgent Care thinking I had a bladder infection, and when they checked the Urin it came back Pregnant. This was news to me, a surprise because my husband and I had not been trying or planning. At this point I called my mom and told her. I decided that before I would tell my husband I needed to have it double checked and went to my primary care physician. She confirmed for me that I indeed am pregnant.

After telling my husband, I have my first prenatal visit scheduled and a week later I am at the OBGYN. Initially I just talk to the nurse. The following I get to come back and get my first Ultrasound. Yay!!! there is a baby, a very small one, but it is there.



I will try from now on to keep you guys posted on a regular basis.
