11 weeks and 1 day

***Yesterday we picked up the kids after the appointment. Went to lunch then home to wrap a present for a birthday party. It took us 2 1/2 lovely hours to get downtown to the party (The kids were awesome in the car, thank god.) We dropped them off later than normal and actually went out to watch a band play! Damn! We went out! I was wiped after being up at 7 that morning and not getting my nap! LOL. This is my reason for being so delayed in getting this post up here!***


Obviously I'm not quite at the 12 week mark (as of yesterday)! Damn it. I'm hoping my energy level and nausea will magically go away at the 12 week mark. Ha ha ha ha.

The appointment went well, otherwise. The Doctor tried to listen to the heart beat but it was too soon. She said not to freak out if we didn't hear it because you can usually hear it at 12 weeks and we aren't quite there. Then we went into ultra sound and she was able to check the heart beat that way. She said the baby looked good! I had one of those stupid moments (they are occurring more and more these days). We are watching the ultra sound on the TV and I bust out with, "is it moving?" She laughed and said, "Yeah, it is." I looked at Chuck and said, "Holy crap we are really having a baby!" They both started laughing at me for some reason. Go figure. They took some blood and I get to go to lab tomorrow after work have my TB shot looked at on my arm, then we are back in 5 weeks! Which looking ahead to the calendar we will be in there December 21st or 22nd. Cheese and crackers!

I've noticed I'm not eating as much as before. Chicken is kinda hard to eat sometimes. Chicken goes down best when I eat it right away while it's kinda hot. Odd. Brown sugar oatmeal and waffles are ranking at the top of the list. A lot of milk and a lot of water has been consumed lately too. Otherwise I cannot make a decision (unless I see a commercial or something) for dinner lately. I'm hungry but never have a taste for anything. That's super annoying. Oatmeal has been the strongest taste I've had, and I think that one will last longer than a week unlike the others!

That's about it for here. Until next time!

Quick Update

Okay, so I go to the Doctor this morning for what is hopefully my 12 week check up. I think it's my 11 because the last doctor switched my due date up, and I think she forgot to account for that when she told me to make the next appointment in 4 weeks, it should have been 5. Whatever. We will see.

I'm talking to the Doctor about the constipation business. Holy crap. I've never been constipated. Yowsa, is all I can say.

We are picking up the kids after the appointment. It's at 10 am. Lord knows if they will be running on time or not. At least there's no ultra sound to back us up this time around. Hopefully we'll be outta there in good time. I warned their Mom that there's a chance with this Doctors office that we can run late, but hopefully we'll be able to pick them up early since we will be half way to their house! We have a birthday party this afternoon, so hopefully I'll get back on here to give an update about the appointment!

Crazy Night

So last night I go to do my thing before bed and I'm spotting. Some choice words came to mind. Then a little panic set in too. I did what 'the book' (the book being, "What to Expect When You are Expecting") said to do and called the Doctor's office this morning. I figured it was somewhat normal to have that happen, according to The Book anyway. Next thing I know I dragging Piper out to the suburbs picking Chuck up at home and heading to the Doctor's office. We had another ultra sound and it actually looks a little more like a baby! We could see the "arm stubs & leg stubs", which that description of course had us cracking up. It still looks alien with that giant head, but it is part Wilson after all! (I know it's mostly head at this point.) It's heart beat was at 158 beats per minute. I'm still thinking it's a boy because that seems low. Who knows. I can't wait to find out what it will be! The chick I saw said that I'm 9 weeks along and according to the last Doctor I saw I would be 10 weeks along. The chick told me to get a calendar and count the weeks to June 7 to figure it out. Ahh such a nice practice I'm seeing.

That is the latest. I'm still doing well...knock on wood. Just super tired. Crabby. Oh boy do I have my crabby moments. I've learned to get off the phone with Chuck when I feel my 'tude changing, because he is the easiest one to take it out on. Except for when he acts like he had nothing to do with situation!! LOL, just kidding (kind of).

Now it's time for a little dinner and I'm off to bed. I think I'm stealing the down comforter from my husband tonight because the temperature is changing!
