14w5d!

Hubby and I went in to start our prenatal care yesterday. To say that I was nervous and scared is putting it lightly. After what happened last time we both were extremely scared.

However, things are good thus far. Dr. Brisinger decided to check abdominally after I told him about how far along I thought I was. And within seconds we found this beautiful treasure:

The baby looked so cute and plump...lol. We even got to see him/her reach up and kick it's little legs in the air. I was mesmerized by it. Hubby asked about how far along and the doctor confirmed that the baby was measuring at exactly 14w5d. I was so happy because I knew it was somewhere between 13-14 weeks... so that means baby is growing perfectly. Yay us! Our next appointment is next month on the 23rd. Hopefully we'll be able to find out the sex too! :) Yayayayayay!

Pregnancy Update-13 weeks 6 days

Tomorrow I'll be 14 weeks! I am in such disbelief. I've been so blessed with almost no symptoms making this pregnancy even that more surreal. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think, talk, or plan for my baby. Sometimes it feels like a dream, and I'm scared to wake up from it because it is indeed a beautiful dream. I have my next appointment this thursday afternoon. I hope Dr. Brisinger does another ultrasound and I'll be able to see my little bean even bigger now. I also hope I can hear his/her heartbeat. Sometimes as I lay in bed I press my fingers against my abdomen and I can feel the heartbeat... just barely, but I feel it. It's so exciting.

I've been walking a bit more now that I have more energy. I've also been able to eat healthier food too. Before the sight of anything green made me nauseous. lol. I'm glad that's over. Funny thing is although I got nauseous I only threw up once. Gosh, I've been lucky!

My one true craving has been oranges. I've craved them every single day for at least the past month. Even the sight of orange juice and soda (which I know is bad) makes my mouth water. But I can't control that.

So now that I'm on my second trimester things are supposed to be smooth sailing. I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment. Then I can really get down to planning.

At the moment the house is a mess. However (crossing fingers), that may change. My sister and George may be moving out soon. I say may because they're "thinking" about it. That's a start. I'll miss them, but I do miss living on our own. I miss having a clean organized home. I love my sis, but she's a complete mess in that department. LOL. So yeah, the idea of them leaving has given me hope. If not, next year we'll definitely be out. I can't raise a child under these living conditions. But that's still a ways to go.

Welp, we'll see how things go on Thursday. Hopefully great! Now it's only a matter of waiting and careful planning. :)

Feeling Like The Luckiest Girl in The World

Sorry I've been MIA. I've just been keeping myself busy with work. However, that's getting boring!

Ha! But you know what's fun and great and completely awesome?!?! Well, as of yesterday, Valentines Day I am now 13 weeks! THIRTEEN WEEKS! Which puts me at my SECOND TRIMESTER! Isn't that awesome? I love having these wonderful milestones coincide with Holidays... This will help me forever remember how I felt at such a stage. :)

I'm normally not a big fan of Valentines Day because I feel it's overrated, but this year was a bit more meaningful for me because it helped me appreciate my hubby for everything he does for me. Since finding out we were pregnant he's so happy and loving and quite even more attentive. He's going to be such a wonderful father just like he is a wonderful husband. :)

Life is great :)
