Officially in the 2nd trimester. But not officially feeling like it. That's okay, I have hope. I know this baby is worth all the blek-ness of the months past. RIGHT, lil' spud? RIGHT?
So let's make this one a happy post because the last one allowed me to just vent about many of the downs.
Here is a photo of the NT scan (btw, our results were great...there is only a 1/10000 chance at this point that the baby has Down's syndrome.) Please ignore the shark-like fin that is coming from the head..that is a glare on the glossy paper. Everyone says it already looks like Hubs. My dad says he can see a peter. My dad also thinks all cats are female and all dogs are male.
The NT scan was awesome and my only regret is that Hubs wasn't there with me. He had come to the ultrasound the week before (we were just supposed to hear the heartbeat) and the ultrasound was so low-quality, it's not even worth keeping the sonogram.
So I told him he didn't have to come to the NT scan because I assumed it'd not be all that cool
Boy was I wrong!
Check out the video....the lil' spud was flipping around like crazy. And I was just amazed that for 10 minutes, I could see it using my uterine wall as a launch pad, but I couldn't feel a thing!!!!! But talk about finally feeling like all this nonsense of nausea was worth it.... (I change my mind when I'm nauseated, I admit it. haha)
Now, mind you, he/she had been dancing like Flipper the entire time, until I pulled out my phone to record it. Then it was still. I got kinda upset...tearful, even, and just like his/her father, the baby sensed that I was FOR REAL and was not happy. So after 1.5 minutes of nothing, I took the phone away...then tried ONE more time...and immediately...this is what I saw.
I'm a mother! I only believe it NOW!!! :)
We announced on Facebook that we're pregnant on Sunday. Talk about taking the official leap....So crazy! But the news is out so it feels good....and now the next milestone is finding out if we'll be parents to a she or a he... CANNOT FREAKING WAIT!!
And then to update on what I look like at this point... here is the 14 week pic:
Darbi - I am SO excited for you and Neil. I could tell you not to worry about anything. But who am I kidding? I'm the world's biggest worry wart!
ReplyDeleteLandon's pregnancy was ROUGH on me. Everyone kept saying, ohhh, it will get better when you hit the 2nd tri. And for most people it does. But I had morning noon and night sickness until 17 weeks. And then I wound up in the hospital with a bad case of the flu! I lost a ton of weight and was so scared I would lose him :(
I finally started feeling better late in my second trimester! Then I made up for it by eating everything in sight :) I had a sweets addiction.
I know everyone told me I would probably want another baby and I completely denied the idea. Now Brigham is nearly 15 months old and I am starting to get baby fever again! Eeeeek. I can't have three boys, Darbi. I don't know if I'd make it out alive!
Congrats again! Can't wait for our photo shoot. You're amazingly talented!
That is definitely a bump! Too cute. And you WILL be adorable! Your little guy or gal is already adorable too. May week 14 bring you the start of some relief!
