We just got back from my ob appointment! I am happy to say that we have a happy healthy baby! We were finally able to see a heartbeat it was averaging at about 160 beats per minute. It was amazing to see Sweet Pea doing little flips and sucking his or her little thumb. Peanut's early ultrasounds all looked like blobs, but Sweet Pea actually looked like a baby. I wasn't expecting that so it was pretty amazing. Peanut was there with us and fussed a little during. James said it's jealousy, I think that it was nap time. But she seemed pretty interested in the ultrasound screen when we brought her closer. It is hard to believe that my little baby is going to be a big sister!
How Big is Baby? 2.1 in, .49 oz about the size of a Plum
Baby's Development - As I move into second trimester,baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of baby's systems are fully formed.
Weight Gain - -1 lb, all the extra eating has been paying off!
Strech Marks? They are finally fading, but I think they will be making a comeback in the near future.
Sleep? What sleep? Peanut has hit a growth spurt and has been eating every hour and a half.
Best moment this week? Peanut eating watermelon and finally finding out that Sweet Pea has a heartbeat and is a viable pregnancy!
Movement? Not yet but I can't wait! I have read I might feel it earlier this time because I know what it feels like.
Food Cravings? Chili and V8 Juice. I almost had a breakdown when I was almost out of V8 and James forgot to pick up another bottle on the way home. I just can't seem to get enough of it.
Gender? Too early to tell... but the decision is to stay on the green team :)
Labor Signs? Nope and it better stay that way for a long time
Belly Button in or out? It's an innie
What I miss? Sleep
What am I looking forward to? James' best friend coming down for a visit.
Weekly Wisdom? I don't really have any wisdom to share from this past week.
Milestones? Good Bye 1st Trimester! We are 1/3 of the way there!!!!
