Pregnancy Picture Diary

I think it's about time for me to start tracking my baby bump so that my baby will always have pictures to look at and see how they grew inside the womb. Nine weeks

13 weeks

15 weeks and 1 day

Second Prenatal Visit

On Monday I had my second visit to the OB. We were so excited to hear the heart beat again and then of course to schedule our sonogram to find out the sex of the baby. The nurse found the heart beat right away and it was a strong heart beat. The nurse said that its heart beat was in the 160 which is normal I guess. The doctor came in and started feeling around on my stomach. She helped me feel my uterus. It is about the size of a softball and you can feel it in just above the pubic bone. It is so cool how the body works. We scheduled our sonogram for May, 19th at 3:15 p.m. We are so excited, less then five weeks to go until we can start calling our baby a "boy" or "girl" instead of "it".

Tomorrow marks the 14th week into my pregnancy. Goodbye 1st trimester, hello 2nd trimester and from what I hear this is the time I will feel the most comfortable. I'm so excited to start showing. Only a couple of weeks a way.

Pregnancy Literature

Since this is my first pregnancy, I have had so many questions about what's normal and what's not. I've wanted to know every little detail about what is going on in my tummy, so I decided it was time for me to get some books to read. I got two books that I have really enjoyed reading. Those books are: What to Expect When You're Expecting and Your Pregnancy Week by Week. Here is a little run down on what these books are about.

What to Expect When You're Expecting

This book is from what I have been told is like the pregnancy bible. It is a guide that answers the questions and concerns moms and dads-to-be may have. This has been a great book that has answered so many silly questions I have had. It's saved me the trouble of calling my nurse everyday.

Your Pregnancy: week by week:

Now this book I got because I wanted to know every little detail that is going on in my tummy every week. Right now in almost my 10th week of pregnancy, my baby is about 1 to 1.25 inches long and my uterus is a little bigger than a grapefruit. The baby is looking more and more like a human being but still really small. It's arms, legs and fingers are longer. The neck is more developed. The eyelids are fused shut and won't open until the 27th week. The baby is able to move it's limbs but it is not noticeable to me. I love knowing how my baby is growing inside of me.

Today I got two more books from my brothers fiance Kelli. She had my nephew Mason last summer and he is an angel. She sent me these two books that really helped her after Mason came into the world I look forward to reading these books and implementing some of the things Kelli used to help her with Mason. The books are: Secrets of the Baby Whisperer and Good Night Sleep Tight.

First Prenatal Appointment

We had our first prenatal appointment today. Oh my gosh it was so amazing!!! Our doctor took out the little thing to find the heart beat and she told us that most of the time at only 9 weeks you won't be able to hear the heart beat. But we were of the lucky ones. She found it and it almost made me cry. I can't believe that I have a little baby inside of me. I feel so blest to be where I'm at right now. I can't wait to be a Mommy!!!

We're Having a Baby
