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 😉

Copy Cat

I'm contemplating doing a Project 365 blog... Such a cool idea and I think it would be fun to look back and see how my year was in pictures :) And, yes, I'm copying off my sister's 365 blog . Opinions?

Almost Fainted Yesterday - Not. Cool.

Yesterday late morning I was sitting at my desk and I felt...funny. Then the "funny" feeling turned into ears ringing, hot flash, seeing stars, light- headedness . Scared the poo out of me. So I sat at my desk for a good 2 to 3 minutes with my head between my knees - or atleast as close to my knees as I can get right now - trying not to panic and make it worse. I never actually passed out/fainted but got pretty close. The thing that scared me the most though was that NO ONE AROUND ME NOTICED! Not that I wanted all kinds of people flocking over to me to see if I was ok , but would have felt a little better if one person would've atleast thrown me an "are you alright?". I hope I never go into labor at work, good grief. I'll be driving myself to the hospital and two hours later people will be going "Where's D?" That diva moment aside, I finally felt ok to stand up and walk to the breakroom to get a glass of water and then asked my boss to go d...

[Im]Patiently Waiting for Baby Allen - 4 weeks to go!

I started out this pregnancy looking like this: And here I am at [almost] 36 weeks: Holy crap, I sure hope that tiny tummy comes back to me after this baby is born...and I lose a couple chins...and a couple pounds off the cheeks, both sets. I think I'll leave my hair long though. Not cute in that first picture. Anywhozit - 4 weeks to go!! Yay, I'm so excited. I had my doc appt and BPP yesterday. Baby didn't want to do his breaths at the BPP so we had to do an NST (Non-Stress Test). Basically, I sat in a big comfy recliner while they hooked the monitors up to my belly and recorded his heartbeat/movements and my contractions. I dozed off a couple times while I was sitting there listening to his heartbeat beep...it was rough. He passed the NST with flying colors - Dr even told me they could use my print out for textbooks because my results were EXACTLY what they should look like. (My child's perfect already - jealous?!) Next week is his growth scan [possibly his last one] ...
