Baby T: 9 Weeks, 5 Days

One thing I wish I had from my previous marriage is Sean's Baby book. In that I had an ultrasound for every month! It was like a timeline! In Germany they do Ultrasounds every month, unlike the U.S where you usually only get 2 or 3.

Somehow in the divorce, my Ex got the baby book. I suppose the great thing about this blog, is that I can post all my baby stuff this time around and no one can take it from me.

It's kinda cool to have a blog while your pregnant, You can look back at all your posts years down the road!

Above is the Ultrasound we had today! What a crazy amazing difference from the appleseed ultrasound I had at the hospital in the very beginning of my pregnancy! It was awesome! I could see the little arms and legs moving around and then at a few points I could see the little heart beating away! The bottom Right photo is the FHR (Fetal Heart Rate) which is a healthy 165BPM!

The technician even did a 3D one for us, so cute!

I won't have another one until week 20 to find out the sex!
11 more weeks for that! But the first Ultrasound is always one of the best! You know your pregnant, but seeing it up there on that screen just makes it all, real.....and Perfect!

Ultrasounds have come a long way since Sean was born though, 3D's didn't exist and the pictures weren't as clear. My OBGYN is awesome too, the stirrups were HEATED! and so was the table! and we got to see all the images on the wall in front of us on a huge flatscreen, no need to turn our heads to a tiny monitor! It was nice!

Next visit is December 27th!! In 4 Weeks!

Week 7 Day 5

So i think I'm going to do one of those timeline things. Take a picture every week for 40 weeks! I'm starting now at Week 7 Day 5. Next week I will take a picture at Week 8 day 5 and so on.

This week my belly just popped out of nowhere! I was a little chunky last week, but this week it just popped! I remember with Sean I didn't show until I was about 12 weeks, maybe a little more.

I've been reading online and in "What To Expect When Your Expecting" that with your second child you start to show between weeks 6-10 because your uterus has already been there done that and it expands sooner. So I guess this theory is true!

I've ditched my regular pants and live in Yoga pants. For work I got some Maternity Khaki's at Target.

I was supposed to get an ultrasound on Monday but it was a bad day.
We drove all the way to the appointment (30 minutes away) to find out the ultrasound was not covered by my insurance, Everything else is, except Ultrasounds...Fucking ridiculous. They wanted $170.00 for the Ultrasound! We just didn't have it. If we had known it was going to be that much we could have saved and been prepared! But NO ONE told us! Stupid Asshats. If we were in Massachusetts they would have let me just do the ultrasound and billed me. But nooooo, not here in Florida! It's pay or no appointment!

So we turned around and went back home. We will have to reschedule next week after payday!

But baby is obviously growing LOL, so i'm not too worried about anything! I just want to see the little booger and hear that heartbeat and i'll be more at ease. The heartbeat is a huge milestone that every Mother just wants to hear!
