12 week appointment - January 11, 2012

I went to my 12 week appointment today.  I got to hear the heart beat.  It was 168.  The nurse was able to find it pretty quickly and was surprised that she found it so fast.  My blood pressure is 100/64 and everything looks good.  I saw Dr.Castellion this time.  Still not crazy about her.  I felt like she was rushing me thru my questions.  Just one more thing to add to my list with that one.
Kelly and I are going on a cruise next month so I had to get a letter from her stating how many weeks I would be when we left and that baby and I are both in good travelling condition.  She wrote that for me and also told me that it was okay to take Benedryl or Dramamine.  Good to know that I can take something.  Fingers crossed that I'm not bothered with getting seasick.  I haven't in the past, but you never know with pregnancy.
We also set a date for the next ultrasound.  This one will be the one at 18 weeks when they can tell you the sex of the baby.  It will be February 22 at 8:30am.  So if you haven't voted at the bottom, you have until February 22 to do it.  I still  have no feelings as to what I think it is.  Maybe I will have a dream in the next few weeks.
Next regular appointment is Feb 8, at 4pm.  I will be seeing Dr. Godsey.
Already wearing a few maternity pants.  Really wanted to be comfortable.  They are still on the big side, but I will fill em up soon enough!

Storytime - Dec. 9, 2011

So, I'm bringing back storytime.  For those of you that read Haven's blog, I would post funny things/stories that happened while I was pregnant.  Well this time is no different.
We decided to go out to eat with Kristen, Nick and Kailey Baughn for annual Christmas dinner.  We went to Dish it Out in Stonecrest and then to Qdoba to eat.  Well, I didn't know that we would be eating there for dinner that night, so I ended up having it for lunch.  Normally I love Qdoba and that day at lunch was no different.  Well, I could not even stand the thought of eating that for dinner.  I didn't really realize it until we there in the line to order.  I decide to not have anything and just get something on the way home.  I did end up having some of Haven's chips and guacamole though as I waited for the other's to finish.  We say our goodbyes and I ask Kelly to run over to Wendy's and get me cheeseburger.  We get up to the drive thru, order the cheeseburger, get the food and drive off.  I open up the burger and I kid you not, I took one bite and was like "I don't think I can eat this."  I took one more bite and it was official...there was no way I was eating that burger.  I tired again the next night and took one bite and couldn't have anymore more!  Never ever did this happen with Haven.  I knew exactly what I wanted to eat and had no problems eating it.  So I have come to the conclusion that this baby is a diva.  Either that or I'm just being a brat.  One of the two.  I think Kelly is hoping for the diva!

Ultrasound - 8 weeks - Dec. 14, 2011

I had an ultrasound today for Baby Pop!  Everything looks good.  Heart rate was 164.  I was really cool to be able to see the little babe.  You could see the heart beating and everything.  It make me feel good that I was bale to see it.  Kelly was there too and was in awe at the sight too.
I'm feeling good.  Still waiting on the sleepiness to go on out the door.  Food aversions this time include turkey and anything that might be associated with a traditional Thanksgiving meal.  Yuck, yuck, yuck!
Oh yeah, and I have already busted out my bella band.  The pants are getting tighter!  Here is the ultrasound picture.  Kinda small and hard to see.  I will try and post a bigger picture later.
