HB on the doppler finally!

I turned 11 weeks yesterday!

So yesterday I was playing around with the doppler... I hadn't used it since Monday when I wasn't sure if it was the baby. I realized I might had heard the baby but actually record my hb... since I took my pulse and it was the same.

So yesterday it took me a good 10 minutes before I found the baby, I found mine right away so now I know where it is... and heard it for a LONG time! just to get familiar with the sound... and then I found my LITTLE BABY!!!!!!! Very close to mine and I got to record it!! It was saying 145 to 170 so I know it was the baby!

It was hard to keep it for a long time, baby kept moving around! But I got a good sample, hopefully you can hear it!! Let me know what you think!

Oh and my friend, she ask her DH and he said this was definitely the baby!

10 weeks!! 4/21 - 4/27

I guess I'm following a pattern of posting the day before the next week! But I guess its better since I can share how things went during week 10!

From 10w0d until 10w2d I felt like crap! On my bday I got the worst gastritis, OMG I looked 9 months preggo and I was hurting soo much!! The day after nausea was intense, but nothing like Friday when for the first time I threw up A LOT, this was at night. The day after, 10w3d, was better, still nauseous but nothing too intense. On Sunday and Monday I was feeling perfect! My bbs were not tender anymore, I woke up twice to pee instead of 3 times, nausea was gone! Actually on Monday (10w5d) I was extremely hungry during the day, nothing will fill me up! I was eating every half hour!! At night I got the worst migraine and went to sleep at 9pm until 8am the next day! I think because I panicked my symptoms were going away!

Today, 10w6d, I'm not as nauseous as before, but the nausea came back. I'm hungry but nothing like yesterday, and I feel SUPER tired! We will see how the rest of the day goes, but I think my nausea is back!

Oh and I tried to use the Doppler yesterday, I really think I picked up the baby's hb... it was ranging from 135 to 160... but after many comments I'm not sure if I really did. I know it is still early so I'm not too stressed about it! I will give it a try during the weekend again!

I'm going to Ocala this weekend with Jorge, to visit his horses! He is very excited and I'm too since I get to change airs!

Yesterday we bought a new car! Well, DH leased a new car!! An Audi A6, he is sooo excited!! I wanted an A4 for the payment, but he really wanted this car and it will have more space for the baby. I think this will be the last time for a while, that he will be able to get a new car like this since I'm sure baby's expenses will increase in the next few years, specially when daycare time comes in! So I'm letting him enjoy his new toy!

Next appointment is on May 6th, cant wait!!!!

And a baby bump, still little!

10 weeks



10.5 weeks

9 weeks

I guess I'm late again, since tomorrow I will be 10 weeks! But here is a recap of this week!

First, I had my first OB appointment yesterday... just b/w, urine sample, and going over my medical history. So here is basically what he said:

- I will be treated as a normal patient, but he will put in the chart high risk, in case I freak out and need more u/s or monitoring. He said I could come every 2 weeks if I wanted to until I feel more comfortable. For now since I will be having an u/s in 2 weeks, he is seeing me 2 weeks after that.

- I will stop progesterone at 12 weeks like Dr E said, but I will continue on baby aspirin until at least 20 wks, maybe even further.

- I can travel up to 24 weeks without a problem and cruise too.

- He said I could exercise but he would prefer just walking, he said it would stress me out too much and I agreed.

- He didn't use the Doppler at all since he said it was too early to hear the baby's hb, it will give me too much unnecessary stress. He said by 11-12 wks we might hear it, maybe even later since I have a tilted uterus.

- My sequential screening is set for May 6th at 3:30pm, he said that the Dr is great and if the baby cooperates maybe we can find out what we are having! I will be 12 weeks.

- My next Drs appointment is on May 14th at 11:45am.

It was basically a good appointment, disappointed that we didn't see our little miracle, but I knew it was a possibility since I had just had an u/s on Thursday. I have been feeling great since last Thursday... but yesterday, OMG I was feeling like crap! I was nauseous all day and my gastritis came back. Today I'm feeling better, but nauseous again. I'm happy if all this means miracle baby is growing strongly.

I took some pics on Sunday, I tend to get a VERY little belly at night but then I wake up with none... here are both pics to see what I'm taking about!

MORNING



NIGHT

Graduated from the RE! Praise God!!!

The appointment went great!!!! Baby measures 9w0d which is 1 day off my LMP but 2 days ahead of my ovulation!!! HB was 172!!!! and OMG the baby was MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!! We are keeping the due date of Nov 17 for now.

My mom started crying immediately! I was shaking of how nervous I was!! The Dr was laughing... and put on the HB like 3 times for a long time, so that I could relax :)

We saw the arms and legs, and he also said the spine was great too! So we officially graduated from the RE!

I'm keeping the progesterone and baby aspirin until 12 weeks.. and he said no more intralipids infusion which makes me nervous, but I need to trust him!!!

Our first OB appointment is on Monday, which Im sure it will be b/w and paperwork. And then our next u/s will be at 12 weeks. I'm so excited and cant thanks God enough for this miracle!!

And now the best part, the picture!



Thanks for your continuous prayers!!

Last RE appt today...

I'm having my last RE appointment today, this one is with the Dr and not with the nurse. Hopefully we will graduate today!

I have been so confident and positive about everything, I had promised God that last appointment and I was doing a great job. Then yesterday I felt great all day, and I started to panic a bit. Then I had horrible dreams at night and woke up super anxious!! I have been soo nauseous all morning, not sure if from the pregnancy or from how nervous I am, 1245 can come fast enough.

My parents are coming with me too, I think that worries me a lot since they are super excited, so I don't want any bad news while they are there. Jorge is getting more excited every day, I think that scares me too, I don't think he could handle any bad news. I feel horrible feeling this way, I had promise it to God and I'm not doing the best job, I'm a ball of nerves today.

Appointment is at 12:45 eastern time, please keep us in your prayers. I think everything will be just fine, I just need to stop being a worrywart.

Thanks! I will post as soon as I'm back!

8 weeks!!!!!!!!

I'm a little late, since I'm almost 9 weeks tomorrow according to my LMP... but I have a feeling they will change my due date 2-3 days...

Things are going great, everyday that passes I'm feeling more confident that everything will be fine. I promised God last appointment that I will stop worrying if I had a good appointment, and I did, so I'm keeping my promise!

I have no bump yet, I will post a pic, but you wont see much! I found today the beginning of linea nigra! OMG I never thought it will be this early!!!!!!!!! It is still faint... but you can see it... just from my belly button down.

Symptoms... I'm peeing about 3-4 times at night... during the day is not that bad. I have NIGHT sickness instead of morning sickness! I get super nauseous at night.. I'm hungry but nothing sounds good at all... and I cant throw up... I just never can. I have throw up maybe twice... but I have a queasy feeling all night.... I'm hungry but full at the same time, so weird!

Mornings tend to be better... but I do get nauseous if I don't eat too quickly or if I eat too fast... I tend to get full very quickly. During the day I'm OK... usually snacking all day keeps me going. BBs are still very sore, specially in the mornings, or when I wake up to pee in the middle of the night. I love that I'm having symptoms!

The other night I went to Benihana, which I LOVE! And I just couldn't eat anything, besides the soup... it just didn't sound good at all even though I was starving! So looks like soups is the best thing for me now!!!

We will take another peak at our little miracle on Thursday and hopefully we will graduate from the RE and I will have my first OB appt on April 19th. Oh and my parents are going to this week's u/s! They are so excited!

Here is the video we took last week!



And a belly pic for those asking for it :)

Our miracle is growing strong! Praise God!

I was soo nervous! But I had promised God that if I had a good appointment today and a strong hb, I was not going to have any more doubts that this miracle is here to stay!! So I'm keeping my promise!!

U/S went great!! Our little peanut measured 7w5d and 7w6d depending on how she measured him. Baby grew exactly what he was supposed to, and it matches with my ovulation, so it couldn't have gone better!!! She is not changing my due date yet, she said the OB will be the one determining that. For now is Nov 17th.

HB was perfect at 154bpm!! I was so scared since it was so low last week, but everyone was right, they start out low! So we have a strong little miracle!

My Dr was not there, so I'm having another U/S next week with him, and I will graduate!! They will give me a DVD also! I'm so excited!!

I had my intralipids infusion done as well... and the next one is on May 5th, the nurse said the Dr might want to skip it, but I think I will ask him for it for a piece of mind. We will see.

Next appt is next Thursday with the RE at 12:45 and then on April 19th (Tuesday) at 2:45 with the OB.

Everything is going great, I cant ask for more! Just keep praying please!!

Thanks God for this miracle! We couldn't be happier!!!

Hard day....

Today has been a hard day, well since yesterday I guess. Jorge races horses, but for him its more than that, they are his pets, he loves them. Last year he sold 3, 1 died, and he stayed with his favorite, Tavata. He was planning on racing her this year and then sending her to the farm so that she could be a mommy. Last week she started feeling sick to her stomach... and things got worse. Today she passed away, Jorge is extremely sad and has been crying all morning. I don't know what to say and what to do, I don't know how to take his pain away. He had recently bought 2 new horses, but wont be here until May and June... I cant wait so that they can bring him some peace. Many people might not understand, but for him Tavata was so important in his life. Please pray that he gets closure and feel better soon.

On the other side, I think I have been googling too much... and I'm a nervous wreck! I cant wait for my appt on Thursday to confirm things are going in the right direction. I was 6w5d at my u/s and hb was 115, do you think is low?? I'm so scared about my appointment but I know I need to trust God, I know I shouldn't be feeling like this, my faith should be enough and that upsets me.

Thursday can come soon enough... and hoping my anxiety gets better soon, I know its not good for the baby.

I'm feeling fine... nauseous here and there... peeing constantly and sore bbs.

Please pray for us, for Jorge to feel better and for a strong hb and great appt on Thursday!
