Told Baba about Baby #2

On Monday mommy told baba about the pregnancy since baba suspected it after seeing photos.

June 7, 2012 16 Weeks

On Thursday we headed to see Dr. Spears for our 16 week appointment. Mommy misread the time and thought that the appt was 9:20am instead of 9am. So we had to rush and get ready and head to a new location. Upset, stressed and rushing with Saya out the door and it wasn't very pleasant.
We got to the office and rushed in only to have to pay a 123 dollar deductible. Argh! Then Saya was great and she noticed the lollipop container in the office and headed straight for it. The promise was she had to sit through the appt before she got the lollipop.
Dr. Spears answered questions and listened to the baby's heartbeat which was 158.  She mentioned that it was on the high side so maybe a girl.
Otherwise we will see Dr. Spears again for our 20 week appointment which will be an ultrasound. If she finds any abnormalities we will head to the perinatologist.
We also had to to do more genetic testing so we headed off to Labcorp for AFV testing and others. Hope they come back ok.

Heartburn and Pains

Last night was a scary night. Couldn't sleep with all the heartburn and pains in the lower pelvic area. Thinking it's round ligament pains and hoping it's nothing serious. One more week to go before seeing the OB.

May 7, 2012 12 Weeks- NT

On Monday Saya and mommy headed in to see Dr. Spears for an NT test. We got an ultrasound and they found the lines and it measured normal- Whew! Then we heard the heartbeat and saw the baby move. So cool! Finally it hit me that perhaps this is real and the baby might make it to term. Saya was excited too and she got to keep a picture as well. Daddy made it to the last part of the ultrasound and heard the loud heartbeat and was happy.  We got a finger prick for the NT test and then saw Dr. Spears. Dr. Spears answered a bunch of questions and then said that we were doing great. Mommy hadn't gained much weight so when we told the doctor about eating fatty greasy foods she said it was ok in moderation.

The NT test came back normal.

Next visit will we be at 16 weeks with Dr. Spears. Hopefully everything will be ok after fly to Las Vegas and back.

April 19, 2012 Starting to Show?

We went to the mall with some friends and then a friend told me that I was showing already. Could it be that I was just fat or really starting to show. Final decision- Just fat.

May 4, 2012 The Nausea Spike

Oh boy the nausea began worse than ever. Thank goodness in a few days we get to see the doc. Trying to hold in the vomit during the day while watching Saya just gets really exhausting.

April 10, 2012 2nd Ultrasound OB

Made it to 8 weeks and finally we got to meet our Obgyn. We went to see Dr. Karin Spears at 3pm. It was a late appointment so the doctor was super late. The nurse got our information and then the waiting began. We waited and waited and poor Saya was bored and daddy was just not happy. We finally got to see the doctor and she did an ultrasound with a abdominal probe so we couldn't see as much as with the RE but we heard the heartbeat. The Ob was not worried about anything so we got our packet of stuff and got some blood drawn before we left.

All the bloodwork came but just fine and normal. However vitamin D levels were significantly low so I started to take 3,000 IU of vitamin D and also some calcium.
