14 weeks

Not much of an update to share except for all of the sudden I'm really motivated to get this house painted.

Other than that, we have our early gender check ultrasound in t-minus 6 days! Ahhhh!!!
And then a week and a half after that we have our whole anatomy ultrasound. I love ultrasounds!

13 weeks

Well like every week, we checked the heartbeat on our Doppler, and I found the heartbeat pretty easily. But the Doppler couldn't get an accurate reading because the little guy (or girl) was moving away from the wand thing! It was kind of cool though. It was like hide and go seek in the womb.

Well anyways, I thought the second trimester was supposed to be easier. Apparently not. Umm gassy much? Bloated much? Sciatic nerve pain much? I can't even take a deep breath without some pain in my upper ab area where I'm bloated. so walking is a little difficult since I cant bend too well and I'm limping because of my sciatic.

And on top of all that uncomfortableness, Aaron and I shot a wedding yesterday. Luckily, it was only 6 hours and not a whole day. But by the time the reception rolled around, my back was about to break. It was a beautiful wedding with an awesome couple, but by the end, I was miserable. I woke up in the middle of the night last night and could barely walk to the bathroom to go pee. So needless to say, I'm going to get a massage at 1 today :) then tomorrow, getting my nails done. Massages and getting your nails done make everything better. Plus, is anyone else soothed by the Vietnamese language?...only when at the nail salon though. Haha

Yay 13 weeks! Sorry for the rant. I needed to have a pity party for a minute.

Tiny freak out

It's 5:19am...been up since 3. I'm 13 weeks today and oh my God...we're going to have a baby in 6 months. A baby. Here. In this house. Oh. My. God.
The dogs aren't ready! The house isn't ready! Ahhh!!!

On the bright side, I think tiger cat will be right at home with the baby. Plus, the baby's room is, in fact, tigers room. It's his lounge area, so I think he'll be the one to take in the baby, rather than those damn dogs. They are the most jealous dogs I've ever met in my life. If im loving on Kane, Miley will butt her fat little body in and push Kane out of the way. And vise versa. Then when Miley is displeased, she'll pee on the carpet right in front of me. She did that the other day because we had to take them to the petshotel for a few days while we were on vacation. The last time she did it was when we got Kane. It was worse then. She was so jealous, that she peed in our bed, on the carpet, in the kitchen; everywhere else except for outside! That was a nightmare first week. I suspect it will be much of the same when baby comes.

Doctor visits...

My favorite part about going to see the doctor (besides actually meeting with my doctor) is watching all the pregnant women going in and out of the waiting room door to use the restroom. It's kind of a fun game. Like, who's next?!

Today, Aaron FINALLY got to meet Dr. Byrne. Well, needless to say, he won Aaron over with his sarcastic humor. They better not get all sarcastic-y and jokey in the delivery room! I WILL HURT SOMEONE. Aaron, my love, this is your first formal warning. Don't piss off the pregnant lady, ok? ;)

So the last week and a half has brought about some new pain...sciatic nerve pain in my left side. It's constant and it sucks. But I really can't complain. So doc has put me on even MORE rest than I was before. I REALLY want to work out. I think swimming would be ok though. No lifting of nerve pain in the water! His rules are, no lifting more than 10 lbs, no pushing or pulling anything more than 10 lbs, and I have to sit and rest ever 30 mins. OH and I have to sleep on my right side only. That's gonna be a challenge since I'm a mover. Within the last few days, I have found that I can no longer sleep on my stomach. That's kind of a tragedy since it's what I do to help myself fall asleep if I'm having trouble. But now it's painful. That limits me to side and back sleeping. And I hear that it's only a matter of time before sleeping on my back becomes painful. yay. So until my sciatic nerve pain subsides a bit, I am limited to my right side and back for now. yippie.

But I can't be anything more than thankful. I'd rather have pain all over than to have no baby at all. I just can't wait for my little prize at the end.

music in utero...

There is certain music that I will NOT let die! This is music that I want my kid to know and love since I will probably listen to this music "till the world ends" (britney song)

Just go with me:
-Britney Spears
-the soulful sounds of the Backstreet Boys.
-John Mayer
-Bob Marley

Aaron's music list will be more 90's music (which he LOVES, and I'm cool with that. I mean, who doesn't love 90's music? Think, "Drops of Jupiter", "All the Small Things", "Kiss Me", Alanis Morisette in general (Jagged Little Pill!)...and all that good stuff.

Anyways...of course, we'll play some classical music and Frank Sinatra. But I want my child to come out singing "baby one more time". Because that's how I roll.

Baby's heartbeat

@11 weeks (last week, since I'm 12 weeks today!). I bought an at home doppler from ebay. It's amazing! Of course, it's not as high tech or as strong as the dopplers at the doctors office, but it works and it reassures Aaron and I that we still have a little one beating away in there.

So without further adieu, here is our little baby's heartbeat. 161 BPM at 11 weeks.
