Week 11 Dr. APPT

Sorry about the drawings, since Adrea was with us, the DR. decided to draw on the eyes and mouth so Adrea would know where they were. Just look past them :) In them you can see the arms and in the top pic you can see the little hand up by the face!






I went to the doctor on Monday for week 11 check up. I was not expecting to get an ultrasound but they gave me one, and we were not going to tell them no :) The nurse moved us to a room with a newer ultrasound machine so that Adrea could see the baby better.(she was home with a fever that day) It was so exciting to see just how much the baby has grown in 4 weeks. We could see the little arms and legs. It's little hands were moving around. It was amazing. It is just so hard to believe how such an amazing little baby is growing so fast. It just makes it so real to see it moving around!
Adrea was so excited to see it. The doctor gave her the pictures of the ultrasound, just for her! She was so happy and she couldn't wait to show Abby when she got home from school.
Other then that the appt. went well, my thyroid levels are almost where they should be so he thinks by the end of this 4 weeks that they will be good. We go back in 5 weeks for more blood work, Yeah. Unfortunately I am going to have to get some blood work done before every visit, but that is OK.
I think we may be able to get an ultrasound every time because we are on the OB floor and not seeing my regular doctor. I hope so anyway!! More updates later.

New Baby Gear

Here is our new car seat and stroller!
Yes we know we still have a while before we need it but, did you know car seats expire?
Yes they do, and our car seat we were saving from Adrea expired last December, so that means new car seat. It just so happens that Babies R Us was have a great sale they we didn't want to pass up. If you traded in old baby stuff(car seat, crib, booster, ect.) you got 25% off a new car seat, stroller...ect. So we went in to get a car seat and decided to get a car seat /stroller combo. Our stroller is really old and I got it used for Adrea so it was time for a new one. We really like this one. It is really lite and folds up pretty compact ,and the car seat fits onto the stroller, so it was the winner, and it can work for boy or girl!

check it out

If you click on the baby tracker at the top of the page it will take you to a site that will give you a little info on the baby depending on the week I am in.
So just click on the baby, then it may tell you to put the due date in: April 6, 2012. There will be three options below that if you click on the middle option" learn all about your pregnancy" it will give you info on what the baby looks like and where it is development wise. I am really enjoying it so you guys might too!

a little update

Well not to much to report for the last two weeks. This is the worst part of pregnancy, for one I am sick all the time so that takes a tole, and don't feel baby moving so it is sometimes hard to believe I am! It is so weird how different this one is then the girls. I am still sick, especially at night, but it is a different sick this time. It is really hard to explain, I was just soooo sick especially with Abby but this one is comes and goes. I will feel ok for a bit and then quickly go down hill. I am very thankful that this time I have been put on some awesome anti-nausea pills. Thanks God for them!!!
I am so lucky to have Abby & Adrea :) around. Abby has helped me out with the dishes and she has kept upstairs cleaned so I don't have to worry about it. She is going to be such a huge help! Adrea likes to help sometimes :)

Other then that not much has changed so nothing new to really report. I have an appointment next week so I will have more to tell then! :)
