15 weeks - Hello our Avocado

Wow I can not believe its been 6 weeks since I have written. Time is flying by quickly!!!
Well everything is going very smoothly for us (yeah,fingers crossed - I told my doctor it is my reward for all our years of heartbreak)
Not too much to write about but I figured I would do an update so I keep up with this.....

At 12 weeks I swear I felt the quickest little flutter - and I am going with that!!! It was the most unique, amazing feeling EVER!!! I know its quite early - but I asked the Dr. and it is possible - so lets go with that :-)

We had decided to do an NT scan - and we did it at 13 weeks, 1 day - finally got the results today (only because I have ANOTHER cold and had to see my doctor today) It was so cool!! We actually saw a little person -  it made it quite real - along with hearing the heartbeat (something we didn't hear at the previous ultrasound) we both definitely cried at this ultrasound - amazing to see a little human just growing away in you - our little bambino was a sleepy head though!!!! Just because I am who I am - I harassed him (we don't know what it is - however we have only ever referred to it as him  - that's what we think we are having a mini Blair lol) and it worked for about 5 seconds - he moved his fingers up to his face and his legs and then right back to sleep!! It was so so neat to see it move!!! I will be eating some sugar before my next ultrasound on April 01 though - I want to see this bambino squirm!!!! So today I found out from my doctor baby is measuring ahead- and not by a day or two - but a week - he measured 14w 1 day - so it will be interesting what it measures at the next appointment!!!

Other than that not too much!!! We have been researching strollers, car seats and that's about it - We have decided on a City Select and are stuck on a car seat - however leaning towards a Peg Preggo -
Babies cost money before they even come!!! We have slowly started buying items - we have purchased a crib and a change mat to put on the dresser...
Slowly starting to clean out the room that will be the nursery!! So things are slowly moving along - but really 25 weeks from today we will be meeting bambino it he/she decides to arrive on time! Many decisions to make but we are loving the process - we figure make one "bigger" purchase a month and then we will be ready!

Until next time XO

9 weeks 5 days - Hello little Prune (1.5" long)

Well it has been awhile since our last post - not really much to update!! Trying to figure out all the decisions we need to make over the next 6ish months! Surprisingly there is lots - where to deliver, what OB to be referred to, baby equipments, names etc. And I am sure the time will fly - we are almost done the first trimester, here I have barely blinked and it's almost over!!

Still feeling pretty good - knock on wood I haven't really had many symptoms. The nausea comes and goes in waves, I just eat a little bit and it helps. I am still quite tired - but hopefully that ends soon!

The last week and a bit I feel like a bit of a blob - just not comfortable in a lot of my clothes - seems like I have bloated a bit - some jeans are getting a bit tighter but that's about it - I may have to make my first purchase of the pregnancy (other than a book or two) and get a belly band and see if it helps..

This pregnancy hasn't "hit" me yet - very odd but I am sure it will soon. From what I have read its quite common for women who have struggled with IF and gone through IVF to feel the way I am - I have had lots of support from my DH and on line support group and nice to know that I am not the only one experiencing such feelings. I have also had some crazy dreams - but again nice to know I am not the only one going through them!!

One of the girls this morning mentioned I have the tiniest little belly happening - again I haven't noticed but I look everyday and that's probably why - lol - all with time is what I keep telling myself!

We have our next pre-natal appointment on February 22 and also our NT scan that day - again we will blink and it will be here - four weeks away!!!And so - until then probably keep warm in this COLD COLD Alberta winter!!!

XO
