(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[Lara310809]

I'm yet to scan them in, but I got this cute photo of my girls with the scan pics, which we used to announce the pregnancy on Facebook. I had been stuck for an idea, and even this morning I had no idea; thankfully I thought of this last minute

 

[lilrojo]

aww that is super cute Lara..

 

[Laelani]

Aww Lara such an adorable pic!!!

Had a bit of a scare today. Went to the bathroom to find a bit of blood. So I did what any concerned person would do and called my doctor's office. They said to come in right away to get checked out. First thing she checked for was UTI and that's exactly what it was. Thank goodness nothing is wrong with the baby! She did surprise me though and said that we will listen to the baby's heartbeat. She found it almost right away and it was nice and strong at 145bpm. A heartbeat has never sounded more beautiful!!!

Awe...lara...thats SO precious!!

lealani, glad all was well!

 

[Laelani]

Thanks, me too. I was worried.

Laelani I'm glad everything is ok spotting is so scary!

Lara I love your pic it's adorable! Any guesses on gender from the ultrasound?

My appt went well my dr was doing a c section so I had to see a nurse practitioner she rescheduled me to see my dr next week and listened to baby's heartbeat it was 168.

That's great that you got to hear the heartbeat

Afm: I'm 11 weeks and the nurse gave me the option to try or not try the Doppler. She said they don't usually hear it till 12 weeks but sometimes get lucky. I had her try, no such luck, I got excited since I thought I heard it but she said that was just me, not baby. She was very unconcerned about not hearing it and so was the doctor, but of course it makes me nervous! Thankfully I don't have to wait long to see what's going on in there, my next scan will be next Wednesday, we are doing the 1st trimester screening, mostly just to have another chance to see the baby FX everything is okay, I am going to be at least a little stressed till then since I didn't get to hear the heartbeat

DHBH with my dd we tried to listen for hb at 9 weeks and the nurse couldn't find it. They did an ultrasound to make sure she was ok and she was fine kicking up a storm in there. We didn't actually hear hers until 13 weeks so I wouldn't worry. My dr didn't offer the nt scan...so maybe they don't do them here. I can't wait to see my baby again though and I have no idea when my next scan will be!

Lara- that picture is absolutely adorable. LOVE it and such a special way to announce.

Laelani- I'm glad everything is okay!

I had my scan today. Baby turtle is doing wonderful and measuring completely perfect with my dates. Heartbeat was 158. I wasn't overly excited about the pictures that she gave me (because the baby's hand is up beside his/her face and it looks like an elephant trunk ) but I did get a video on my phone



We told our girls when they got home from school and their reaction was priceless! They are over the moon excited and immediately ran over to give me a big hug and started asking questions. Throughout the evening they have hugged and kissed my belly and told me that they can't wait to meet their new brother or sister.

Hey all, thought I'd share my bumps too. They're from 6, 7 and 8 weeks - amazing how quickly they grow even though baby is still so small! Although for the last one, it was taken the morning after I had a lentil curry so that might have influenced the size Sorry for the semi-nakedness!

 

[SugarBeth]

Love everyone's bumps!

I just looked at my first bump picture at 5 weeks and the one today and wow, I can't believe the difference! It's been steadily growing each week and now I'm definitely getting somewhere!

This is week 5 and 7:

I thought I would share my belly shot as well. My body just isn't holding up like it used to. I honestly believe that after 2 pregnancies my body is just going ahead and preparing for what's to come
