15 Weeks Prenatal Visit

I got to hear the babies heart again today. I could fall in love with that sound over and over again. I actually woke up this morning not feeling too bad. No vomiting for a change, Yay! Kate (My Midwife) told me the Morning sickness should be subsiding within the next couple weeks. I sure hope so, I had a small amount of protein in my urine so she made sure to get on me about drinking more water. Besides that we found out I have only lost 3 pounds since my pre pregnancy weight. Not as bad as I had thought. I weighed 135lbs today. When I was leaving Kate gave me a Lab request for the genetic blood draw. Pray for a negative results! I also ran over to Babies R Us with Holly today and found some pregnancy pops that are supposed to help with morning sickness. I figured I might as well give them a try.

***UPDATE***Our baby is negative for Down syndrome or Spinal Bifida, Yay!

11 Weeks "Heart Beat" Prenatal Visit

What an experience!!! I started crying! That is so not like me but I was so incredibly happy. It felt like our baby had three hundred million beats per second.  I was so love struck!  I met my Midwife, Kate Fields today and she was absolutely wonderful. We clicked right away and I am so thankful that I don't have to keep searching for someone. I am still sick off and on all day and zofran is still only working part time. I am on my 2nd refill now. Unfortunately I cannot keep my prenatal pills down so I am on Flintstones Chewable vitamins until I can stomach the prenatals again. Oh by the way, I weighed 136lbs today so I dropped in weight. :(
