Hear baby, feel baby!

Status: 14 weeks 4 days

Yesterday I had an appointment with the midwives. I got to see Debbie this month. We had a nice visit, and discussed my ever-more-uncomfortable hips and pelvis. She suggested using my rebozo to support my hips. I found a video of how to do that this morning, and it has helped a ton! Walking, sitting, moving around - no problem!


BP and all that were perfect, and we FINALLY got to hear the baby!! I warned Debbie that it would probably only last a few seconds, as my kids tend to run fast a furiously away from dopplers. I was right. It lasted about 5 seconds, and then it was gone. Want to hear for yourself?




In other big news....I'm 99% sure I felt the baby move today! A couple weeks ago, I had felt fluttering here and there. I thought, "maybe?", but nothing else really specifically said "this is the baby!" This afternoon, I felt a distinct thud smack in the center of my belly. Pretty sure that was Little Foot using those little feet!

Bump Sighting

Status:  13 weeks, 2 days

It's been a loooong time since I've posted. Y'all should be used to that by now, since it's not our first rodeo together. :p I thought I'd offer you a pic of the current over-achieving bump. This was taken yesterday morning (since it's after midnight). Pardon the mess on my dresser.....

10 Week checkup

Status: 10w5d

I had a midwife appointment on Tuesday (10w3d). I met with Constance this time. It was a great appointment, lots of good chatting and all that. My belly is still overachieving, and measuring about 6 weeks ahead (we didn't actually measure, just going by where it should be and where it actually is). The midwife told me she was glad I had opted to do the ultrasound a few weeks ago, because she would definitely be questioning things otherwise! BP and everything else were good, but we weren't able to hear the baby due to him/her still being deep in my pelvis. Hopeful for next time!
