11 weeks Dr Appt

Had my second doc appointment today with baby tres. I've gained just under 1 lb and blood pressure is good. Official due date of May 27th is confirmed. Dr Rips had a resident with her today which I always say yes to allowing them to come in...education is important (and I'm a soon to be doctors wife so I get it). The resident had a hard time finding baby's heartbeat which she said she has trouble but then Dr Rips couldn't find it either...slight moment of panic for mommy. Dr said this isn't uncommon so mommy just got to have another sonogram.
The sonographer was a little nervous at first because she thought I was 13 wks vs 11 wks but I assured her I was only 11 and then she found baby and heartbeat right away. I didn't realize just how nervous I was until she said "there it is" and my heart started beating again. Baby tres looks great and measures 12w1d. Heart rate was 153.

No more scares, ok little one?
It actually looks like a teeny beebee now so it was pretty exciting to see. I got my next dr appointment scheduled and then te 20 week ultrasound and dr appointment after that. We should know pink or blue on January 5th.
PS Dr Rips is team pink 😉

FAF: Another 1 Bites the Dust!

Starting weight: 166.4 Last week's weight: 163.8 Current weight: 162.8 Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week: -1.0 Total weight lost: -3.6 Another week of weight loss! Whoop! Its not much but after another slow exercising week, I'll GLADLY take it! I'm very close [again] to what I weighed when I got knocked up with my pwecious little man so I'm feeling good about that fo' sho'... Working out this week has been rough. I haven't really made/had time for a good solid workout so I'm a little disappointed about that but...eh, I'll just keep squeezing them in there whenever I can and as much as I can. We have a gym membership over by my usual sitter so once she's off maternity leave, I'll be able to run to the gym at night before or after I pick up the monster. My diet this week has been unhealthy - not in what I've eaten, just the quantity. I've hardly eaten a thing! My dinner portions have been cut in half, if not more, so I feel that's a po...

When Life Hands You Lemons

Today is the day. Grandpa's visitation and tomorrow's the funeral. The last couple of days its really hit me. He's gone. My Grandpa was a wonderful man. We've all been smiling, laughing and reminising about all the funny things he used to do and say. We fondly remember his sweet tooth and love for all things lemon flavored. But something I never really thought about until now is that he was handed a lot of crappy cards on the health side of life and hasn't been in good health for the last 20 years but I never really heard him complain about it. In fact, every time I saw him he had a huge smile on his face and wanted to know all about what I had been up to and what I was doing. He was so very proud of all of us kids. So proud. Didn't matter what we were doing or what we'd accomplished, his eyes would twinkle with pride. I'm going to miss him terribly. Today and tomorrow are going to be hard but its all the days after that are going to be truly trying... L...
