3 weeks since my last post...yikes! Sorry for the delay! I am 14 weeks, 2 days today and a lot has changed in the past 3 weeks. My clothes no longer fit, I am less tired during the day (but let's be honest I still find time to nap), and baby looks like a baby on the ultrasound!
Last week we went to see a specialist to have the 1st Trimester screen (where they check for the possibility of down syndrome, etc). The test includes a precise measurement of the back of the baby's neck while the baby is lying down and finger prick blood work. This test is elective and Rob and I struggled with the decision. We decided to go. Baby was very active! Ultrasound #1 indicated that my uterus was contracted and baby was squashed upright. I had to wait about 30 minutes for the contraction to pass. Ultrasound #2 showed baby rubbing his/her face and sucking his/her thumb in an upright position. Super cute but not the exact position the technician needed. Again, I had to wait about 40 minutes to hopefully find baby in a better position.
Ultrasound #3 showed baby completely upside down with a case of the hiccups. LOL! So needless to say, we did not have proper conditions for the test that day.
Rob has been very understanding, supportive and flexible with his schedule. He accompanies me on all my appointments. What a great husband!
My mom will be here in September and we'll find out the sex!
