Week 14

Not much to report this week unfortunately... I haven't had any appointments to update about. I've just been super busy with the kiddos and hubby. Joey started playing indoor soccer last week which was not only adorable but super fun to watch! He has his first game on Saturday which we're really looking forward to. Annie girl has been super clingy and fussy so she's kept me really busy tending to her needs and tantrums... but I am enjoying all the extra snuggles I get from her! :)

Otherwise.. Same old symptoms but less intense now. I've only had mild nausea every now and again, and I've been able to pinpoint certain foods that make me nauseated. Particularly breads... I have been getting horrible stomach cramps/nausea whenever I eat certain kinds of breads. At least I know now though!! I'm still struggling with fatigue, but I am getting a tiny bit of energy back again. It's helping a lot as far as being able to manage my housework and my kiddos.

One little change that has occurred over the last couple weeks is that I've noticed little flutters here and there. They feel familiar to me so I'm pretty sure I'm feeling baby dancing around every so often. It's still hard to say though because I didn't feel Joey move until I was almost 16 weeks... and with Annie I had a anterior placenta (placenta was right behind my belly button) so I didn't feel regular movements from her until I was about 6 months pregnant. I have heard that the more babies you have, the earlier you feel them moving around. So I guess I'm not crazy! It's just so different this time. I feel like I'm pregnant for the first time again.

Anyway, that's about all that's new!! I have my next appointment on April 2nd. I'm pretty excited about that!! I always love going to visit the midwives and hearing the heartbeat. At the end of April we get to have our 20 week ultrasound!! I'm so excited to see how our little one has changed!! I will continue to update if anything changes until all these events take place. Thanks for reading dear friends!! God bless!!

Week 12... part two

Just a quick update... Went in for a NT scan today. Everything went perfectly, and much to my surprise they had the results as soon as it was over. Baby measures completely as he or she should at this point with no indicators of any disorders... Just as I suspected. It was nice to see that our baby was doing just fine in there! His/her heart rate was 160 bpm this time! So far it hasn't been below 160... (just how Annie's was!) Girl perhaps? Who knows... waiting until he or she is born to see!! :)

The peri-gestational hemorrhage was still present by the placenta, however it measured a lot smaller than last time and the doctor said she's not concerned about it in the least... what a relief! Glad to be done worrying about that!

Anyway... all seems to be well at the moment!! We got a great picture of our sweet little baby... Such a cute little profile!! I'm in love again!!

Not much else in the way of updates though... just the same old symptoms, but I am definitely starting to feel a little more energy creep back into my life. Such a blessing!! I am so grateful for the many blessings in my life. Thanks for reading friends! God bless!
