Anatomy scan at 21w+5d

Hi Alexander, Look your first dick pic!! I got it during my 20 week + 5 day level 2 ultrasound today. I couldn't help thinking that when I was looking at the pictures.  You, sir, were giving the ultrasound tech all sorts of trouble. Mostly you were comfortable with your hand on your chest when she needed to take a picture of your heart. Your dad ask the tech could we do anything to make you move more and would it be beneficial for you to be more active than you are right now. The tech laughed. She said you're moving plenty and just I wait until there's more umph in those kicks. I learned I have an anterior placenta so that's why I haven't been feeling you as much. It gives me more of a sign that you were telling me we would be ok when I was upset earlier this week.    The doctor said you are developing normally. There's no signs of issues or complications. He is recommending additional screenings due to my age but he has no co

First "kick"

Hi my baby boy.. I felt your first kick today and a second minutes later. I had been worried why I haven't felt you. There have been some movement but I didn't know if it was you or just my body growing to accommodate you. Today, it was definitely you. It was like you were reassuring me you were ok.. that we're going to be ok.

I'm bumping.

I'm 21 weeks and have officially popped. I think I look pregnant now versus just looking a little bloated.  I'm always so amazed when I look down and see my belly though. I was showing as little as a week ago. I told my mom and she laughed at me.. she's like I wonder why your belly is getting bigger. You're growing a human silly. I'm so glad you'll be able to grow up with her in your life. She's an amazing woman. I hope I am as good of a mom as she's been.. I am moving a little slower these days and not everyone understands that. This picture was taken in Las Vegas... You're unofficial first vacation! We've only been here two days and I've racked up nearly 70k steps.  Not too shabby but I think your dad would like me to move even a little faster if possible. There are times you make your presence known and I just have to move slower. I did give myself a scare though. I fell today due to thinking there was a

A BIG scare

Nugget, even at 11 weeks you sure know how to give momma a big scare. It was a normal day at work. I wasn't being too active or anything but around 3 p.m. I went to the restroom and noticed a lot of blood. At first, I wanted to put it off as spotting but this is way more than that. After texting your dad, I decided to call the doctor's office. The nurse said Dr. Delgado wanted me to come in right away. I made it there in 10 minutes from phone call to doctor's office. When I got there, they wanted an urine sample and there was even more blood. I was terrified. I honestly thought I did something to put you in jeopardy. In just a few minutes, I went through what happened since my last appointment and tried to figure out if I did something that may have caused this. Terrified did not begin to describe what I was feeling. Dr. Delgado came in to do the exam. The first thing he said was my cervix was still closed so that was a good sign. He began the ultrasound. The first thin

Second ultrasound

I'm 9 weeks today. Your dad was able to come with me to my second appointment and he saw you for the first time. You're just starting to form limbs now.. and couldn't stop wiggling. At first, your dad thought the doctor was making you dance but he says, that's all you.. You were like a cartoon teddy-gram just dancing away. We also got to hear your heart beat. My heart skipped a beat hearing yours. It was strong and FAST too.  The doctor says my glucose is still a little high so he's switching my medication to make sure I'm in a healthy range.. so we both stay as healthy as possible. I figure I just have to watch my diet more. I haven't been going crazy but the bad days are days I indulged in carbs a bit more at lunch. I'm going to do all I can to make sure you are healthy from the jump. I love you, my nugget. 

Eight weeks and counting!

Oh, baby! I can't believe I'm pregnant. I found out I was pregnant Wednesday, September 4, 2019. I hadn't been feeling like myself for a week or so and I was late. I have never been regular but a week is pushing it. I took a test that morning and it came out positive. I made an excuse that I did it wrong. I took it again that evening and same result. I'm pregnant! Joy overwhelmed me when I found out and then fear. We weren't planning on starting a family yet and there was even discussion that it was too late for us. Beaux and I are 37 and 36 respectively. With some of my health concerns, I thought it wasn't going to happen without a little scientific help. But things just have a way for working itself out. It was a rough couple of day but after the shock wore off, we're overjoyed with our miracle baby. I went to the doctor a week later with Beaux's mom, Mollie. Beaux had to work and mom had volunteered to go to the first appointment with me. Let me
