Baby and Mommy stats:
The baby is about the size of a peach and should be getting close to the 3 inch mark! Its eyes are almost proportional and not on the sides of the head! Male/female parts are now developed. Baby is basically done with the development phase and is moving to the growth phase. Should be getting bigger faster now!
So far I have gain 4 lbs since the beginning of the pregnancy. Definitively doing a lot better than when I had KFC and am on track! Morning sickness is basically over and I am usually hungry All the time!
13 Week Appointment:
Earlier this week I had my second OB appointment! This was a 'big' appointment for I was getting a full work up... Pap and all! NOT fun! I really wanted hubby at this appointment, for one, take care of KFC while doctor was, well "down there", and to also be there for me just in case any issues arose with the baby. Hubby's work, of course, got totally slammed and he wasn't able to make it. I asked a special someone to accompany me to my appointment. She did great at slipping KFC out of room when doctor was getting ready for the pap. The doctor took FOREVER to find the heartbeat!!!! All I could do was stare up at the ceiling. After traveling that doppler across my entire stomach, pressing down hard on my growing uterus, he finally came across the heartbeat. As soon as he found it, he basically took it off. Have no idea what the hear rate was, but still glad to hear it. I am pretty certain that as he had the doppler over the baby, that it kicked! It was fairly strong! I guess from him pushing down so hard I was able to feel it so well. This past weekend I'm pretty sure that I have been feeling it flutter here and there! Yay. My favorite part of being pregnant! Up until now it has been very boring. You know its there but when you feel it, it makes it so much more real! KFC really enjoys coming with me to the doctor and she loved hearing the heartbeat. I'm glad she's so involved in the process.
Now I just gotta wait 4 more weeks till my next visit! Sigh
