Baby Update: October

Today marked my second REAL prenatal appointment! 

Here are the updates:

My Weight: 116.5 (never weighed this much in my entire life)
My Blood Pressure: 110/71
My Temperature: 98.3
Baby's Heart: 150 (they said this is "perfect" for a healthy baby at this stage)

My next appointment is November 24th.  I have a regular checkup in the morning and then an ultrasound in the afternoon to find out the sex.  They don't have enough space in the woman's clinic to do routine ultrasounds anymore so I have to go through the radiology department for ultrasounds from now on.  I should have ultrasound pictures to post then also!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Thursday marks 15 weeks so I will have more pictures up within the next week for everyone :).

13 Weeks! Finally, into the 2nd TRIMESTER!

I have some updated photos for you all... I have grown more than I thought!  I guess since I see myself everyday I don't really notice but my oh my this makes it all seem much bigger now than it was 2 weeks ago!

The only baby update I have at the moment is that I made my appointment for the gender ultrasound!  DRUM ROLL PLEASE....... November 24, 2009 and 2:15pm!  Which if you notice is only about a month away already!  I can't even believe it!  My mom and grandma will be traveling down here for Thanksgiving and should be arriving on November 24th!  We are hoping they get here before my appointment so they can also come with Don and I.  Mom has obviously seen an ultrasound with me but they are much more updated and clear... and well they didn't have those when Grandma was going through this so she is really excited to be able to see something like this!  It's going to be one of the best days of the year...

Girls Name: Hailey Sue... we both loved the name Hailey and Sue was Don's late mother's middle name so we wanted to honor her as best as we could (not to mention that is super cute).

Boys Name: Connor Lewis... Connor has been a favorite in my brain for awhile now (like when I dreamed about having kids when I was younger) and when I mentioned it to Don he couldn't think of a better name himself (yeah, I am good I know) and Lewis is Don's middle name!  It fit so well together that there wasn't really any other option for us on this one.

Enjoy the pictures!  I am going to do them every two weeks until I hit 20 weeks and then I am going to try to do them weekly since I will start growing a lot more by that point! :)

Into Week 12... inching closer to Week 13

Just wanted to update you all on my progress the past week or so...

I am at 12 weeks right now... this Thursday will mark week 13 and the 2nd trimester.

I am gaining weight much better... already two pounds since my last appointment... and at 13 week I will post updated pictures.  Mostly so I can see the progress myself but also for everyone else ;)!

Hope everyone has an amazing week! 

11 weeks!

This is what you all have been waiting for... my very first belly I've ever had!  I know I know... I promise it will get bigger soon! :)
