Sweet Child of Mine

Last week, I met with my new doctor and got to hear the baby’s heartbeat.  It was 160.  Today, I got to see a the baby.  Since, I am 35 and considered high risk, my doctor suggested this ultrasound.  The doctor looked at the baby and also did some blood work.  The doctor said the baby looked healthy.  He let me hear the heartbeat again today.  It was 152.  The doctor asked, if I wanted to know the gender.  I said “yes!”  He said he wouldn’t paint the room yet, but believes it’s a girl!  Steve and Christopher are still set on it being a boy.  We go back in 5 weeks and will be able to find out for sure!  Using the baby’s measurements today, the doctor also changed my due date to December 14th.   I can’t wait to see this sweet face on July 7th!

Belly Shots

                1 month                                   2 months                                  Almost 3 months

No noticeable belly yet!  I am still wearing my usual clothes and haven’t gained any weight.  The first trimester is moving along.  Two more weeks left and then we move on to the second trimester!  It seems to have moved along rather quickly.  I have felt pretty good.  Until this past week, I spent most days queasy, but it was bearable. I have also felt tired, but I think it has had more to do with the end of the year.  On the weekends, I do enjoy some very long naps!

Double Rainbow

A month ago, Christopher and I were driving home from karate and saw a double rainbow.  We had never seen one before, so as I drove he took pictures!
