14 Weeks...and 1 day

I had my first O.B appt. today. It was pretty quick. You never know with O.B's if they're going to be on time or not.
Dr Shetti was my O.B when I had Ethan...almost 8 years ago.
He's a great Dr. I was happy that i was able to get to see him again.
The appt. went well. He checked my blood pressure and heart rate, lungs and then he listened for the baby's heart beat. He found it with out any problems at all. It was right there! good and strong.
My next appt is in 4 weeks and my 20 week u.s is booked for June 3rd!

12 WEEKS!

Finally! we're 12 weeks along. It's actually gone faster then I thought it would. I guess all the appointments helped with that.

It seems I forgot to tell my IP's that I had an appointment this week. Oops. As it turned out, it was kind of a good thing as they didn't have a chance to worry about it.
The ultra sound went well. Baby is growing great ( heart rate 154) and the nt scan came back normal. Woohoo!
I was told I don't have to take the estrace or progesterone (pio) any more and that as long as my first appointment with my O.B was in two weeks I wouldn't have to go back to the clinic. So good appointment all around.

Before my ultra sound started I asked if I could get a little video with my camera once she was done all her measurements. I really wanted to send it to my IP's. I really think that seeing that little flutter of the baby's heart really makes it all more real.
I was so excited to get home and send it to them.
They LOVED it! "Dad" told me that "Mom" watched it over and over and over again. I think he was watching it with her though.

A little about my AWESOME IP's!


OK so after my last ultra sound I emailed my FABULOUS IP's the link to the blog.
They loved it...at least I hope they loved it...They told me they loved it...
BUT I had to agree to say all kinds of wonderful things about them on here, so hear it goes.

It's not really hard they are FABULOUS IP'S!
I've read around. I've heard the stories. Some IP's are OUT there. After yet another bizarre story, I emailed my IP's to thank them for not being so "out there" and allowing me my space and trusting that I will do what is best for their baby (which is officially a Fetus now)
There response "Andrea we're going to install cameras in your house so we can keep an eye on you 24/7. It will have audio too so we can make sure to comment when we see you doing something you shouldn't. Too much caffeine Andrea, You're not really going to eat those french fries are you?, Andrea off the couch and get your butt moving. You must exercise"
THANK FULLY they were kidding. (really they only mentioned the caffeine but I am who I am and I must embellish) oh FYI baby loves chocolate.


They make the greatest couple! You can see the love in "dad's" eyes when he looks as "mom" I could see the concern he has for her when we went for the transfer. They tease each other and put each other at ease. I really have enjoyed every minute we've spent together.

They're going to make fantastic parents!
