We toured the hospital today. It was nice, but I felt awkward because the only other people there were one couple and she is due in May. Isn't that a little late to find out about which hospital you'll be at? I was told to check it out before my 2d trimester in case I didn't like it. Well I did like it, but I think we'll go back again around 7 or 8 months just to get a better feel of the place.
I heard the heartbeat today!!! I used the doppler at work and it came through loud & clear! It was so exciting. I called Dave at work and let him listen over the phone. He heard it perfectly.
Just got back from the doctor appointment. I saw the heart beat, I didn't get to see it last time, but I saw it this time, it was a little blur on the screen going so fast! The baby looks good and has grown as it should. And it was moving around. The Dr. held the US wand still and the baby was moving in little quick movements. Our next appointment is on March 28th and then the one after that is where we should be able to determine the sex!!!! THAT is exciting!
We decided on a full girl name. So now we have both "official" names picked out. If it is a girl it will be Kaylie Jane Rouse. If it is a boy, it will be David V. Rouse III (I won't explain what the V. stands for, lets just say it a personal family name). It is exciting! I can not wait to find out what we are having. I can't decide if I am wanting a boy or girl more now. I won't care as long as the baby is healthy. Yay for pregnancy! Such an exciting time.
Been feeeling icky lately. No m/s or anything, but feeling "blah". A few times I felt like I was going to throw up, but I don't throw up easily, so I didn't end up doing it. I always have this awful taste in my mouth like I haven't brushed my teeth in weeks. Even though I brush & floss them everyday! My belly has grown a little since week 6, I am glad I took pictures this early to compare. Been craving pickles, nachos/salsa and spaghetti o's. (Not all together). My sense of smell is heightened and the smell of alot of things makes me feel ill, but not pukey.
We got to see the baby today! I couldn't really see the heart beat because I couldn't move too much or the image on the screen would jiggle around. Dave got to look really closely and he saw it plain as day. He said it was going a million miles an hour. Dr. said everything looks healthy and the chance of a miscarriage goes from 15% to 1% after the heart starts beating. So exciting!
I check my damn stomach every day, and today it actually looked semi-pregnant. (Probably just bloating or something, but whatever *rolls eyes*). I have been having to pee alot more lately and been really thirsty. My cramps went away, but I get occasional twinges. I have yet to get morning sickness, but I'm sure it will come.
