8 Weeks - Baby Appointment!

Week 8

Definitely feeling very pregnant! I've had Nausea/Vomiting all week. And I'm always hungry! I wake up every night starving! Who knew that this baby, who's not even an inch yet, can make me feel so sick! But at least I know this pregnancy is going like it should, so I can't complain! I was reading an old post from when I was pregnant with Adyen. It's fun to go back and read and compare these two pregnancies! 
  • You can't feel it yet, but it's moving those arms and legs like crazy!
  • Its fingers and toes are now only slightly webbed, and its tail is gone.
  • Fun fact: your baby's taste buds are now forming.

Pregnancy Memory 


Baby's first picture! 
This week I had my first baby appointment! Everything went great! They did an ultrasound and I got to see baby and baby's heartbeat which was 171! :) I met with my doctor, Dr. Esplin, who specializes in premature births. He basically told me everything looks normal right now but he will need to watch me closely as my pregnancy progresses. Starting at 16 weeks I would need to get progesterone shots which would reduce the risk of a premature birth. They also will need to keep an eye on my cervix to make sure that it isn't thinning. If it is thinning, he says I would need to get it stitched up! Hopefully I don't have this problem because that does not sound fun! :(  My next appointment is June 22nd!
