Week 17

This week has been really good. My doctor gave me a prescription for Phenergan (for nausea) at my last visit and it has been working pretty good. The only side effect seems to be drowsiness, as if making a baby didn't make me sleepy enough, but I prefer being extra tired to throwing up and being sick all the time. I have been feeling the baby really strong lately. I was feeling it so strong that I kept thinking that I could feel it from the outside of my tummy so I asked Hazen to put his hand on my belly and sure enough he felt it. At our first visit the doctor did a quick ultrasound, just to judge the baby's age, so we still don't know the sex. We have another appointment on the 4th of March and we will find out then, which is good because I hate calling our baby an it. Anybody that wants to put in a guess, vote in the poll and tell us your vote in your comment and then when we post the results you will have bragging rights.

Weeks 14 - 16

Sorry for the long break, I have been a slacker. Well it is time to catch you all up on every thing. I had my first visit with the doctor on the sixth. I like this woman's clinic a lot better then the family center in Provo. I have a woman doctor which I am very happy about. Her name is Dr. Falk. She's nice but I didn't connect with her yet like I did with Sandy Garrard (my doctor with Tessa). I wish I had her as my doctor again. Anyways back to the visit, Dr. Falk did an ultrasound on the baby! It was so much fun and a big relief. The baby looked very big, I thought that it was going to take her a minute to find the baby but it was right there ready to be seen. We saw the heart beating, and the baby jumped or kicked, all very fun. Dr. Falk said that its heart was beating about 140 beats/min, I had to ask “is that good?” I wasn't sure for a second if it was because Tessa's was 150 a minute. It's good. Here are some pictures of the baby

The ultrasound determined that I am about 17 weeks now (15.5 at the time of the visit), so it's Ok that I am showing as much as I am. We will try and get a new picture up soon Tessa knows that there is a baby in my tummy now, or at least I have trained her to say baby when I ask her whats in my tummy.

Week 13

I have been trying to do this every Tuesday, but with having a toddler starting her terrible twos and being sick, and every thing else I am trying do do, its been hard. No picture this week, but here are a few words for the week; I spoke to soon. :*( I have been nothing but horribly sick, and very tired all of the sudden. Tessa picked up something and has been stuffed up and coughing for the last couple of days, and unfortunately she is a very giving person. Hopefully it passes quickly 'cause they don't let you take much when you're pregnant.

Week 12

There is hope for me yet! I was only sick four out of the last nine days. Your prayers must be working. Thank you! I am very excited about not being sick every day. I have also found a Doctor, I really hope I end up liking her a lot. I also have a small chance of being farther a long then I think I am. Keep your fingers crossed. The only bad thing is that lately Tessa seems to be a lot more clingy. She also doesn't seem to want me paying too much attention to other babies that are younger than her, hopefully she won't be that way with her baby brother or sister.

Week 11

I Loved being pregnant with Tessa!!! Not so much with this one, I do not like it, no sir no sir. I want to just have the baby so that I can feel good again. I really want to enjoy this pregnancy like I did the last one, but I am almost to the end of my first trimester and still horking. Hopefully the sickness will end when the second trimester begins in a couple of weeks. I am so sorry for all you women who get sick when pregnant. I felt bad for you before, because pregnancy can be a @#$% with out being sick, but being sick makes it ten times harder. I now pray for all those that get sick, so please pray for me.

Well if there is any good to say about it all I guess I should say it now. I love how I look for the time being. I still get to enjoy watching Tessa play, and grow. She is very smart and does a lot to help me out. Hazen my biggest help has been great!! He has been Mommy and Daddy for about 8 weeks, and is happy to see me moving around and helping out again. This week has been a lot better than last week, so I guess I am starting to feel a little better. Yeah!
