Old Wives Tales

Well, since it will be another month or so before we get to find out the sex of our baby, I decided to have a little harmless fun and partake in some "old wives tales" to see if we are having a boy or a girl. First, I did the ring on a string test, it revealed a boy. Then I did the drano test, it revealed a girl,,,, so, just like I figured, it was all a waste of time,,,,, So, looks like we will be waiting til the end of march to see what we are having! :)

I see the light at the end of the TUNNEL!!!

Well, I hesitated posting this for a fear that it may just be a fluke. In the last week, I have had 4 vomit free days. I really think I just might be closing in on this morning sickness thing. I am a little over 12 weeks along now and entering my second trimester where all the pros say is where it usually tapers off. With the exception of the seafood counter today at Publix literally gagging me , I have felt almost normal again. Still a little nauseas at times , but no vomitting for the last two days..... keep your fingers crossed! THis pregnancy but turn out to be fun afterall! :)

My first craving

When we were in St. Augustine a couple of weeks ago, I ordered a side of wingsauce when I had my "cheeseburger in Paradise". The next day, I wanted HOT buffalo wings, then I discovered Texas Pete in my fridge at home a couple of nights ago,,, I could literally drink this stuff! As a matter of fact,,, i poured some on a saucer last night and just kept dipping my finger in it and licking it off, that was after I put it all over my cheese pizza! I was so afraid it was going to give me heartburn but it didnt! Whew! I LOVE TEXAS PETE! :) No cravings for icecream or pickles or anything else,,, just hot sauce! SO weird huh?

Baby Adams

Well, here he/she is....baby ADAMS!!! What an amazing experience seeing this little human on the ultrasound screen this morning. I think reality has finally sunk in a little! The last time we were in, I was barely 6 weeks along, and although they did an ultrasound, all we really saw was a "blob", nothing more. This time, we got the surprise of a life time, hands, feet, a nose, little lips, ears and everything else. I cried! Bill teared up, it was so great and so undescribable! She tried telling us the sex,, but its still a little early,, the heart rate was 155 bpm but thats all we know for now... could it be,,,,,, a GIRL? Stay tuned....I still think it's a boy.

11 weeks Today

11 weeks along today. I went in to my doctors office unscheduled today because I have been having some pretty nasty headaches and dizziness. They did some blood work and routine office stuff and found that when I stand vs sitting my BP dropped exactly 20 points on both numbers. He said that it should stabalize in the next couple of weeks as well as these migranes I've been getting. He said small meals, plenty of fluids,,,, I'm already doing that. One thing that he did want to check on was the babie's heartbeat. I got to hear it today for the first time and I started crying! It was unbeleivable!! Truly amazing!! I only wish that Bill was there but I really didnt think they were going to do that or I could have asked him to meet me there. We do have another ultrasound next week and hopefully we can hear it then too! I have more blogging to do from our visit over to St. Augustine last weekend but normally when I get home I pass out!!!
Hopefully I can post more from our trip soon,, I have LOTS of pictures!

not sure if everyone is catching on or not,, but when I post the baby's signature,, that's the relative size of it as it grows,, notice it keeps getting bigger and bigger, but still so TINY. :)

Moving right along......... 10 Weeks tomorrow.

It's so hard for me to beleive that there is a "person" growing inside of me! To think that it has hands now with little fingers and tiny little feet with toes makes me nearly cry. I still cant beleive that all these amazing things are taking place inside of me. I can tell that my morning sickness is getting better, maybe it was the prenatal vitamins I had been taking because since I have been taking Flinstones, There has been no actual vomitting, just some nasuea, but nothing too severe. I am still very tired, I got to bed at 9pm every night. But I still dont feel like Im getting enough rest. Our next Dr. apt is on April 16th. I will be 1 day short of 12 weeks at that point. We will have an ultrasound and maybe we will get to "hear" our babie's heartbeat,,, how exciting! We will keep you all posted.
