Oh baby baby

So I would be thrilled to add a picture of baby...but we didn't get a printout of the quick ultrasound that I had. Today Adam and I finally met our OB doctor and we absolutely love her!!! I'm so glad with my pick. Today we were told that I have a very healthy pregnancy and I have no risk factors for the growing baby. She was going to possibly look for the heartbeat and I told her that all I want to do today is just see baby so she said she would see what she could do. Within minutes my nurse was carting in the ultrasound machine. Baby was moving and punching around like crazy. We saw the heartbeat and she said baby looked great. Our due date is  November 7th and is official. Now when baby decides to come only time will tell. I have a list of questions that I will start answering weekly, hopefully when I put up weekly pictures. I will answer them today since I haven't taken my weekly picture yet.
How far along: 12 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Back to my normal weight before my weight gain with Celiac
Maternity clothes: I bought a belly band a couple weeks ago, but haven't had to use it.
Stretch marks: None
Sleep: Sleeping great, but still completely exhausted ALL the time
Best moment of the week: Getting to see baby, words CAN't describe the emotions I felt when I saw our little blessing in the screen.
Miss anything: Recently have been wanting a mixed drink or a glass of wine, none of that business for me though.
Movement: From the ultrasound moving like crazy, but haven't felt anything yet.
Food cravings: Fruit and salty potato chips. Not eating them together or anything crazy like that.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, zero morning sickness
Have you started to show: Yes there is a bump!
Gender prediction: I think boy
Labor signs: None
Belly button in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: ON
Happy or moody: Happy all the time, pregnancy is GREAT
Weekly Wisdom: Whenever you get the chance walk. I have concluded that working with my third graders has been excellent exercise.
Looking forward to: My next doctors appointment to get a full ultrasound to see more of baby. Also to say goodbye to my first trimester so hopefully some of this exhaustion goes away.

Some chocolate sounds great and I'm thinking of making some brownies GF of course. Since my last baking frustration a preboxed brownie mix might be best at least for tonight. I plan on posting pictures of how they turn out.

  1. This is so cute. We are really happy for you guys!!! I know exactly how you feel... my first pregnancy was very similar. Pay attention when you are about 18 weeks.. my mom said, "do you remember fishing and that feeling when the bobber would go under the water" ... same feeling when the baby is kicking/jabbing ;O) ~ Ariel
