Look at those perfect little fingers! 22 Wks, 5 Days.

Hello all! I managed to get pregnant the very first month off the Ring...Oops. It was a very happy accident and I'm absolutely thrilled. I'm also extremely terrified since I'm new to this and not exactly prepared. Due May 14 of '08.
Everyone says that I'm not even showing, but tell that to the clothes that I can't button. I did put on a bit of weight all around (okay, a LOT of weight), ESPECIALLY in my hips and thighs. I envy those of you ladies with fantastic bellies!
Had one US Nov. 8 but for diagnostic purposes only I didn't get any pictures, but the tech did throw me a bone and let me see it. It had taken almost an hour (with a catheter in...OUCH). I was almost in a panic because she said at the beginning she couldn't give me any info. At the end she said what took so long was little guy was moving around so much and doing jumping jacks - she couldn't get a good picture! I was so relieved and awed to see it moving around and that little heart beating away steadily.

Dec 5: 17 weeks today! I had been pretty sure I was feeling the baby move before, but now there's no doubt! I was feeling it even more than I thought. When my midwife used the doppler she kept saying, 'do you feel that? Did you just feel that?' The baby was moving around so much you could hear it on the doppler. Now that I know those feelings were the baby I realize just how active that little one is! Wow!

Couple days shy of 20 weeks. My friend got to be the first one to feel the baby kick! I `m dying to get my scan and find out if it `s a boy or girl, but it probably won `t be until close to 24 weeks. Insurance companies...sigh. We `re keeping a close eye on my blood pressure too, it `s been creeping up from it `s usual 100/70 to around 130 systolic. The diastolic tende to bounce up and down, but I hope it `s not becoming a trend. I very much want to have this baby at home.

Hope everyone had a great holiday! I finally got to tell my younger siblings and they were pretty excited. My youngest brother will be 3 very close to my due date, so everyone was joking about how young of an uncle he `ll be. I `m a little worried because I `ve had some light spotting today...I had that during and at the end of the first trimester, but not since 14 weeks. Not sure if it`s normal cervical tenderness or not.

I was actually able to hear the baby `s heartbeat with a stethoscope today. Tried for like a week without any luck but I followed the kicks and found it. I figured it would be a shosh sound but it sounded EXACTLY like like a heart sounds thru a stethoscope, just quiet. I had to double check to make sure it wasn't mine, ha. My 10 year old sister got to feel it kick, and my 8 year old sister asked if that dark line on my stomach was "where they're gonna cut " me to get the baby out, lol. They think all babies get delivered by Cesarean...I thought it was cute anyway.

Had my ultrasound today! I `m having a BOY!! At first I hoped for a girl, but I had a feeling from the beginning that he was a boy. Of course there was a 50/50 shot of me getting it right, lol. I `m so happy! He wasn `t the most cooperative when it came to getting good pictures (he kept his arms crossed over his face), but he flashed the tech long enough to get the gender (then promptly crossed his legs) and gave us a wave. Friday my midwife said my uterus was on the large side for 21 weeks, but according to the ultrasound they want to push my due date a week later. That still fits, because there were only 2 dates that I could have possible conceived, and they `ll be 22 and 21 weeks ago Wednesday. YAY!!

22 Weeks 2 Days...Starting to look pregnant? The first one I took myself. I think it's the only one I have where I look pregnant and not just fat.

These are at 26 Weeks 5 Days.....Can you find the baby poking at my belly?

Sunday, 9 Mar

Had my antibody screen and glucose test last Friday. Passed the glucose with flying colors and my antibody screen was negative. Got the Rhogam shot too. My hemoglobin is 11.4, down from 13 when I first got preggers, but still good apparently. Also, I had to actually draw my own blood, lol. They stuck me 3 times and blew it (dunno why, cuz I `ve got really good veins... but EVERYBODY has `off ` days). I mentioned that when I was in medic school I `d start IVs in myself when we were learning just to see I could do it. So she was like, hey, wanna try? It `d been like 4 years since I `d done that, lol, but she put the tourniquet on for me and there it was! She couldn `t believe I did it and probably thinks I `m crazy, haha. Baby Daddy called me a showoff, but I just didn `t want to get stuck any more, LOL. I don `t know how I can stick myself and be fine, but when other people do I sometimes get faint. Guess I am weird.

Anyway, baby's doing great and when she felt for the position she said he was head down (whoo hoo!!) I was 29 weeks at the time but my uterus is measuring a hefty 31. And they moved my due date to May 24. So.....How the hell can I be measuring so big but the ultrasound says the baby's smaller than my original due date, LOL.

Still no closer to coming up with a name....got it narrowed down to 4 or so. I probably won't come up with the right one until he's here and I can see for myself who he "is."

Baby Daddy still hasn't contributed ANYTHING, no baby stuff, no medical bills, nada, but he's telling me where the kid is going to go to school and what the kid's name ISN'T going to be. He also doesn't return calls. Honestly, I don't know why he bothers going to the appointments when all he does is bitch about going. Does he think it makes himself look good? So he can say in court that he was "involved?" What an ass. I've been so torn between cutting him out entirely and trying to keep him involved, but I think keeping him involved as long as I have is just going to bite me in the ass later down the road. The lights are slowly coming on, just hope it's not too late....

Yep, I `m pregnant...I just went to 7/11 at 3AM to get a friggin ` ice cream sandwich! 3 more days until my B Day :(. But 7 more weeks to go till my due date. Time is starting to go by slowly for me, yet I still feel like I'm running out of it too quickly to get everything done.
