DE FET #2 19 Weeks 2 Days

Not much new to report except I've started to show in the last week so it's getting a little harder to hide my belly at work. It's also getting a little harder to dress my new body in my pre-pregnancy clothes, oh well the outcome will be well worth it.

 

Yesterday I made my first big baby purchase, the Crib, and the dressers and a bookshelf from Capretti Designs. Apparently its very good quality and I sure hope so because the crib is convertable into a toddler bed and then into double bed. The dressers and bookshelf are a very modern design so that it could be used for a long time too.

 

 

On Friday January 10, 2014 we went for our Anatomy scan and everything was perfect. Below is a picture from it at 18 weeks 2 days of our little boy.

 

 

DE FET #2 - 15 Weeks

After my bleeding scare on November 30th I had another scare on Thursday December 5th for which I ended up at my GPs office so they could use their Doppler to make sure baby was fine and thank gawd the little bean was with a HB of 158. 

Then on Saturday December 7th I had another bleeding spell but not nearly as bad as the past two so I just ended up taking it easy. 

No ever since the last bleed I've been having brown spotting, which I hate!

So after the three bouts of bleeding I decided to buy a Doppler, which thankfully has been delivered today. As soon as I got home I unpacked it and tried it out. I'm so greatful that we heard the heartbeat again. It took a little bit to find it but once we did it came in at 148 which I hope is good. I'm going to try my hardest not to use it any more then once a week. ;)

DE FET #2 - 12 Weeks

On Wednesday November 27th we our NT scan and it went perfectly. They said everything, including my blood results were beyond great. I was so relieved.

But then yesterday, November 30th, I was feeling kind of off so I went to lie down and I had a gush of fluid. I figured it was just the progesterone suppositories but I went to the bathroom it was light to dark red. My stomach just dropped. The only thing I kept thinking was it has to be ok because I didn't have  any cramping but rather then take any chances we decided to go to Emergency. After a long wait we finally got to see baby and thankfully we saw the heartbeat. Both G and I were so relieved. I know this kind of thing happens it's just so scary I pray that this doesn't happen again but the likely hood is slim I'm sure. 

This morning the bleeding has finally stopped so I'm just going to take it easy and I may even stay home from work tomorrow, I just don't want to chance anything. See the days leading up to all this I wasn't as tired and was starting to feel really comfortable so I started to do more things, maybe I pushed it too far. :(

DE FET #2 - 10 weeks 6 days

On November 5^th, 2013 was my 8 week 6 day ultrasound and for the first time ever we saw the most amazing little bean. I just can’t believe that we’ve finally made it to this point in all the years of trying. We saw the little arm and leg buds just a moving around and we even saw the umbilical cord, it was amazing! I’ve attached the picture that we were given, it’s not much and it totally doesn’t compare to what we actually saw but here it is, our little bean. 

On November 14^th, 2013 I had my first prenatal visit, nothing fun to report there just the usual I suppose.

On November 27^th I have my NT scan which I hope goes well.

As of right now, 10w6d, I haven’t got too much to report. No real crazy symptoms other than just some low grade continual nausea all day long and occasional tiredness. I hope they are all good signs.

DE FET # 2 - 6 weeks 5 days Ultrasound

Today we went for our 6 week 5 day ultrasound and I'm happy to report that they saw a yolk sac, fetal pole and a heartbeat that read 133. The gestational sac measured in at 15.7mm and the CRL is 6.2mm. So it's measuring in at 6 weeks 2 days, I really hope that's not a problem, the only thing that's making me believe that all is ok is the fact that the heartbeat is so strong. I'm so happy that we've gotten to this point, I just pray that it sticks around.  

There was also another gestational sac but nothing was seen in it and it was measuring 16.0mm, so bigger than the other one. Not sure what went on there. Oh well I'm just happy we have one. 

My progesterone is at 44.3, estrogen is at 1622 (us units) and TSH is 2.54. 

Now I'm just waiting to hear from ORM to see what's next. I'm assuming they will up my thyroid meds but I'm super excited to find out when we go for another U/S.
