12 week Prenatal appointment

Not a whole lot to report this time. I was really hoping to get to hear the heartbeat but didn't. The midwife tried for about a minute. She said she "Thought she heard it for a second" but I didn't. I felt like the appointment was a waste of time and gas money. I felt like she was really rushing to get done.  I lost one pound since the last appointment but that is probably because I got really sick. So I am up 4 pound total so far.I go back on June 24th for my 16 week appointment.

10 week prenatal checkup.

All my blood work came back okay except that they tested to see if I still have immunity from MMR. That showed that I am no longer immune. They cannot give me the shot while pregnant so I have to get that in the hospital the day after I give birth. I have really bad varicose veins on my legs so the doctor ordered some stockings for those. I have to make an appointment to get fitted for them. My blood pressure was great 106/60. My temperature was 100.3, they asked if I felt sick and I said Yes but I think it is from the pregnancy because I have been throwing up a lot. So not sure why I had a slight fever. They did not check for the heartbeat because he said it is hard to hear before 12 weeks. He said that my uterus feels like it is the right size for 10 weeks. I somehow managed to gain 5 pounds even with all the throwing up, lol. I go back in two week for some reason. My next appointment is May 28th.

Oh the Joys of pregnancy.

Finally the heartburn has faded a lot. Now it has been replaced with Nausea and vomiting. I get through it by reminding myself I only have about 3-4 weeks left of the first Trimester when I should start feeling better. So far this pregnancy has been a lot like when I was pregnant for Gabby. It still does not even seem real to me that we are having another baby. I think since they are not doing an ultrasound until 19 weeks it will seem more real then when I can see the baby. We have not told the girls yet that I am going to have a baby. We are planning on telling them after I get into the second trimester. I don't think Avalynn will really understand but Gabby knows that babies come out of Mommy's tummies. 

We are expecting baby # 3

We found out on April 6th that we are expecting a baby. Kevin and I were both a little shocked at first. But we are very excited. We have decided that this time we are not going to find out the sex of the baby. It will make it so much more exciting when the delivery day comes. Most people keep asking us if we want a boy this time. It really does not matter to us. It would be nice to have a boy but we love our girls so much we would love to have another girl! We really just want a healthy baby and smooth pregnancy! 

So far the morning sickness has not been too bad. I have been nauseous but no vomiting. The Heartburn and fatigue are the worst part of it. I have been so tired all the time. No matter how much sleep I get at night it never seems like it is enough. I have been taking a nap with the girls every afternoon too. 

I had my first appointment on April 22nd. They did not do anything except ask a bunch of questions about my health history and did blood work. I go back on May 14 at 9:45 for my next appointment. I will get an ultrasound at 19 weeks.
