UPDATE!! ~*10-29-07*~

So I had my first appointment today!! I had the full body physical, which is always embarrassing. Before she began the physical, she tried to find the baby's heart beat! I was so excited as was my husband. So I sat back and listened closely waiting for her to find it. She came across the heart like 3 times but as soon as she did, the baby would move away!! She said she would try again after the physical, so she could leave my legs up in those oh-so-comfortable foot rests. She started looking in a completely different spot. She moved the wand around and she said I probably wasn’t at 10 weeks or she’d find it, and as she said that I took a deep breathe and right as my lungs were full she found the heart!!!!! I didn’t even try to breathe out!! It was a strong 171 BPM!!!!! That was awesome. I was so happy, had butterflies in my stomach...it now seems so real. (Oh and since she found and heard the heart that put me at around 10wks). I’m just out of this world happy I heard my little one!!! After though, she told me I am scheduled to have a dating u/s since I’m not 100% sure when my LMP was… yay!!!

UPDATE!! ~*11-7-07*~

I scheduled my ultra sound today!! It’s November 27. kinda sucks I have to wait that long...but time will fly cause I am very eager to see my little one!!

UPDATE!! ~*11-15-07*~

Today I finally got my paper work back and I am officially separating from the military!! YAY!! My very last day is Jan 25TH!! Although I will be leaving the area early, it’s such a relief to finally know for a fact I free..... :) I will finally be able to choose my own doctor! And even better, I finally get to be with family again!! I’m soooo happy!! I've been waiting for this to be finalized for a month now. Now I just need to move...hope my ever growing belly won't get in the way! :) :)

UPDATE!! ~*11-27-07*~

So, I finally had my first u/s!! It was so amazing to see my little one moving all around, and having a great time kicking my uterus! Ha. I still don't know what I'm having because the tech is "not allowed" to tell us until 20 weeks. How stupid. I mean, I know it wouldn't be 100% (it never is) but come one, please just take a guess!! Oh well. I have a few pics of s/he!! I can not wait until I can find out what I am having, so, at my next appt on the 10th of Dec I'm gonna have the doc schedule an u/s for 18 weeks (right before Christmas) so I can find out. I've waited this long what's 3 more weeks. So I watched the little one yawn, stretch completely strait out, and then the baby turned upside down on to its head! So silly. One of the pics the tech printed is of the baby with its hand on its big belly! Omg, I can't wait to have the little one outside of my body!!!! YAY!! I'm having such a great day!! Oh and the heart beat was at 149 bpm! I couldn't hear it, the u/s machine doesn't work like that? But the tech highlighted the heart and the machine showed each beat, like an ECG (I think that’s the heart thing). Anyways, I thought it was amazing to see the heart. 149 heart beat means girl, according to wives tales. We will see :)

UPDATE!! ~*12-03-07*~

I am starving all the time! I seriously cannot get enough to eat. Started feeling the baby move around a little bit. I don't feel it all the time, but when I do it is definitely a distinguishing feeling. I was 'sick' Friday; basically I was unable to balance myself out and was walking into walls and stumbling. I looked like I was drunk!! So I went to the docs, they couldn't tell me what was causing the problem (military doctors are awesome) but I found out I have low blood pressure. I was kinda worried about that, and she showed me that it’s consistently low and generally around the same. A little reassuring I suppose. Better then high blood pressure! The nurse checked the heartbeat which I was so happy about. 150bpm. much louder now and easier to locate. Big difference from 10 weeks! I felt really guilty that I was able to hear the heart and my hub wasn't there to enjoy it with me. :( So, the babies doing well and I am too, aside from having a never ending hunger!! Hub turned 22 on the 1st!! Definitely enjoying myself much more in the second trimester!! Belly starting to get a little bigger, probably going to start having trouble hiding it in my uniform from now till I get out!! HA. 2 more weeks until I find out the babies sex. We decided if the doc doesn't set up the appt the week before x-mas my hub and I are going to pay to have it done at a clinic. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE!! ~*12-10-07*~

Just had my 16 week appointment, but technically I am really 17 weeks. So we heard the heart beat, in the 150's like always :) and my doctor won't change my dates up to go with the dating ultrasound information. I find that really stupid because we had that scan so we would know where I am in the pregnancy, since I didn't know (wasn't keeping tack) of my LMP. She said that the date I guessed put me close enough to the dates that the u/s gave. They were off by 5 days. Not to big of a difference but that is still a lot!! She told me the only way that was going to change was if the dates were different by 8+ days! Kinda crap if you ask me. Anyways, had the quad screen test done, 2 weeks to wait for the results. Not nervous at all about it, but I still would like to know. Asked the doc to send in the request for the u/s to be at 18 weeks instead of 20 so we would know the sex before x-mas, so she said she would. Wasn't a bad visit. Just wish the doc was more ready to update the info as she got it. I know its only 5 days and more then likely the baby isn't going to be born on that date specifically, but it makes a difference to me. Bleh, I never leave there fully satisfied! Gained 7 pounds!! Wow.

UPDATE!! ~*12-11-07*~

Tried to set up my u/s today, and the clerk said they will not set me up for one before I am 20 weeks! How stupid!!! Even though my doc put it for 18-20 weeks, because it is for an anatomy scan (checking for the proper growth of everything) he said that there might be a chance everything isn't fully developed and they may have to set me up for a scan 2 weeks later. So stupid. They can't honestly tell me 2 weeks makes that serious of a difference. Like when I went at 15 weeks, we could clearly see all the fingers and toes ect. I am so sick of the military doctors. Looks like we will be paying to have one at 18 weeks then, so we will know before x-mas. Although I will have my 20 week scan on 3 Jan. That's always awesome to look forward to.

UPDATE!! ~*12-15-07*~

Just came back from an ultrasound, we paid to have a 3D/4D scan to find out the gender and..... ITS A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooooooo excited!!! We went to the store and bough his first outfit, the one he will were on his way home from the hospital. It is so amazing to finally be calling my baby a HE!!! It was amazing!! No question about it, this little baby is definitely a boy, we could tell the second the doc looked between the legs, it was like oh there is definitely a penis!!!!! YAY WE ARE HAVING A LITTLE BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE!! ~*12-27-07*~ Pregnancy's annoyances

Christmas was an alright time for me. We took a road trip to Florida to visit my hubs parents. It was okay. His grandmother...back at 15 weeks when I had my u/s we e-mailed the pics to everyone, and she saw them with my aunt who thought she saw testicles....even though she never had a baby and she isn't even like an u/s tech, just the most annoying know-it-all (I don't even talk to her because she is so annoying)...and his grandmother believed her. So when we showed her the new pics and told her it was a boy she was like I knew there were testicles! I was like actually they aren't even present until 29ish weeks! And if they were they wouldn't be visible in an 15week u/s. Of course she started with the "I know everything lecture".....drove me completely nuts. Aside from that, it was an amazing vacation. I do love seeing family, even if they get on my nerves. The people with advice or doctor information are always the ones who never had babies...which is my hubs whole side of the family!! HA!! What is with EVERYONE GREETING YOU WITH A BELLY PAT!?!?!??!?!! Am I a petting zoo animal? Does my stomach have please rub here written on it? Better yet, DO I KNOW YOU?!?!??!?! NO!! Please stop petting me. Maybe I'll start selling corn for 25cents so I can eat it from their hands while they rub my stomach. I feel bad for the goats in the petting zoo. Pregnant people aren't here for your rubbing pleasure. We still do want and enjoy our personal space. I think I will start to do it back to people. Just because I am pregnant, I didn't suddenly become public property. The last thing that annoys the heck out of me......my sister!!! I was talking to her on the phone last night and she asked if I could feel the baby kicking. Of course I can (almost everyone at this point can) so, I obviosly told her yes. She goes I don't know why I asked you obviously can you're so freakin' skinny!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR nothing makes me want to rip people's teeth out more then that line. I'm sorry but that is not the reason for ANYTHING!!!! Everyone has been saying that to me my whole life. I know I am small, I watch what I eat an exercise...what the hell do they think would be the result??? All I've heard is "sit in the middle because your so skinny" "eat more your so skinny" "you can't be shy in a bikini your so skinny" every time I hear that line I just want to stab my ears!!!!!! I'm starting to think that everyone might be envious? See most of my family is on the bigger side (not that that is a bad thing) and I am the smallest one, so are they saying it out of envy? It's not my fault, and it makes my self-conscious to hear it all the time. It's the same way if I changed what they said into them being "fat" Either way being skinny has nothing to do with the ability for the doc to find the heart beat, me feeling it kick.....or anything pregnancy related!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH. On the bright side I only have 2 weeks before I move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
