Friday, 8 Feb
So far, just heartburn and cramps... nausea occasionally, and mostly at night, so I sleep it off. Had an ultrasound on Wednesday, HR 149bpm and all is well. :-)

Saturday, 23 Feb
So funny... I was playing with the doppler at work on Thursday, not thinking I`d actually hear anything yet... and there was the heartbeat!! I was so surprised! It`s so exciting to hear the little heart beating away...

Saturday, 1 Mar
So I had an ultrasound on Wednesday for some persistent, uncomfortable cramping. The ultrasound showed my 10 week 3 day little peanut wiggling around, with visible arms and legs and all!! HR was 169 and all looked well. However, it appears that peanut had a twin that stopped growing around 7 weeks... we `re having another ultrasound next Wednesday to follow up on the status... but for the moment, at least peanut is ok!!

Monday, 3 Mar
So here`s what we`re thinking for names:
Girl- Grace Scarlett
Boy- Holden Patrick
I`m anxiously awaiting my ultrasound on Wednesday. I will update after that!!

Thursday, 6 Mar
The ultrasound today went well, FHR 149bpm and it was wiggling around like last week. The twin has not grown and has no heartbeat. I will be seeing MFM next week for my first trimester testing, so that`s the next step I guess.

Tuesday, 18 Mar
I know I haven`t updated recently... the appt. last Thursday went well, the twin definitely stopped growing. We could see tiny hands and fingers. All of our genetic testing came back fine, so I`m finally feeling like I can relax and enjoy just being pregnant. :-)

Friday, 21 Mar
So I`ll be 14 weeks tomorrow, and I am still fitting in my normal clothes. No weight gain yet, as of Friday. But I have just started to notice the bottom of my belly sticking out a little, and it`s enough that it`s making my pants a bit uncomfortable. I hadn`t noticed before because I wear scrubs all the time at work. So I`m thinking I can get a couple more weeks out of my favorite jeans, and then I`ll have to start looking for something that has some stretch!! :-)

Wednesday, 26 Mar
So we found out on Monday...
it`s a boy!!!!!!!!!
My husband is beyond thrilled... and so am I ;-)
