Yep, still here. A bit urky – though so far not as bad as with Skadi. But as Hans puts it, I still have time.
This last week I was able to get a picture of the peanut and a heartbeat! 125 bpm. After having a bit of bleeding, but then rising HCG levels, they brought me in for an ultrasound. I jumped on that opportunity and was thrilled to see a baby in there! Wow! Such a feeling that is so indescribable to someone who hasn’t caught their first glimpse of their child. Hearing the heartbeat is something else completely. Just made me so happy!
She estimated my due date at April 9th, which bumps me back three days. In a way I kind of feel gyped! I lost three days! I am keeping it open ended at this point and am waiting to get an official due date from Dr. M. And I am hoping he sides with me!
Yeah, what does it matter… I will be late anyways.
We still haven’t told anyone and no plans in the immediate future to do so. I kind of wanted to bring the kids into the fold this past weekend when I felt like I was sick and urky and grumpy all weekend. I guess I wanted an excuse to give them – ‘you guys really aren’t horrible kids, mommy is just pregnant and I don’t feel good, so yay you are going to have a younger brother or sister!’ But yeah, that didn’t happen. AB wants to wait until the end of the first trimester. Five more freaking weeks? ‘So you know kids I was sick and really grumpy over the last two months, well it’s because you are going to have a younger brother or sister. And now I am feeling so much better!’
We are also struggling with telling family because now it sounds like we may have a family event (a wedding) on my due date. Yep. Oh and a request that we host the reception. Umm yeah…
Anyways, moving along.
Cravings? Well about the only thing that sounds good is carbs. Bagels, doughnuts and baked potatoes with all the fixings.
Aversions? Nearly everything? I crave steak until it is sitting in front of me. I thought caprese salads were going to be my thing, but now I can’t stand looking at a tomato.
I am thinking back to the things I liked with the other pregnancy. Chicken and rice soup – I remember that with Skadi. I need to get on Stone Soup’s FB page and see what they have for the week.
