3:00pm What a great appointment!! The ultrasound went great! Nibbles was measuring right where he should be! Tyler kept asking the tech "Is it a girl?" over and over! LOL She had a tough time getting a few measurements becuase of the way the baby was laying, but when she got to the money shot she said "Aww, it's a boy!" Tyler said "A boy!! I'm having a brother!!!" He grabbed his hat and said "OK, let's go!" Too cute. When we were all done, Ty rushed out to tell all the nurses "IT'S A BOY!!!" And there is one nurse there that he is super close to, and he just ran up to her and hugged her so tight......I just love this office!!!
Now, my blood pressure was of course up. :( Our OB called the high risk office to see what we should do and they said to increase one of my pressure meds and that they wanted to see me the next day at 9am.
The Ob asked if I was slightly dissapointed we weren't having a girl and I said "Not at all! I know how to handle a penis!!"

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOUR BABY
Your baby has grown to 14cm crown to rump, or seven inches total length. Adding two ounces in just one week, your baby tips the scales at seven ounces. Baby's limbs are lengthening and, at last, body length is catching up to head size. Bones are still malleable but are beginning to ossify.
As far as symptoms, the only thing that is annoying is the bloating!! I swear, I look like i'm 8 months pregnant by the end of the day!!! When I wake up in the morning it's all gone, but it starts right back up within a few hours. I noticed yesterday morning that my baby belly has slightly popped. Zane even commented on how he can see it. Now i'm excited for when I can feel Nibbles moving more and more....right now it's just hit or miss, but it's still an amazing feeling. :)
The big excitement this week is this Thursday when we have the BIG ultrasound!!!! Only three more days to go!!!! I so hope Nibbles co-operates with us so we can get a good look. I'm going to be sure to have a little bit of someting sugary to help Nibbles get moving in there. And of course i'll be sure to update when we get back from the appointment. :)

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOUR BABY
At 12cm crown to rump, or a total length of about 6 1/2 inches, your baby is large enough to give you a good swift kick in the tummy. Within the next month, you should be able to feel this five-ounce wonder throwing his or her weight around.
At this time, fat deposits will appear under the baby's skin. This fat will help your baby to regulate his or her temperature after birth.
Where have the weeks gone?!? It honestly seems like I just got my BFP, and now i'm only 3 weeks shy of being half way through the pregnancy!!!
Ok, so I know i'm going to sound like a broken record, but symptoms really haven't changed much. My boobs only hurt from time to time, I get a little nauseous/puky if I wait too long in between eating, and i'm still wiped out after doing hardly anything at all. This house is really showing the signs of my exhaustion, unfortunately. :( I've tired forcing myself to get things done, but that doesn't seem to help at all. I sure hope I get energy back, and soon!!!
This pregnancy is so totally different than my first, and I know all pregnancies can be different, but sometimes the lack of symptoms worry me......and then i'll feel a little nudge or flutter from Nibbles, and all is right again. :)
In less than two weeks we find out if Nibbles has an innie or an outie!!! I can't wait!! I love the nickname Tyler picked out, Nibbles, but it will be so nice to finally be able to say "he" or "she" or say a name. :)

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOUR BABY
Weighing in at all of three ounces, your little one is now 12cm crown to rump, or 5 1/2 inches head to toe. Baby's head is now held high, and limb movements are co-ordinated. The eyes have come closer together so that they face forward, and the baby begins to blink. On an ultrasound, you could catch sight of the sucking reflex as your baby sucks his or her thumb.
Symptoms are still about the same. (I feel like a broken record! LOL) I'm super gaggy/puky in the mornings still, which can make taking meds a little difficult. One difference i'm noticing the past few days is the exhaustion is back with a vengeance!! It took me over 3 hours to put laundry away yesterday! :( I can only do things a little at a time before I have to sit down or I feel like i'm going to fall over. I don't even think I was this worn out during the first trimester! I know Nibbles is going through some major growth spurts the next few weeks, so that explains the exhaustion.......keep growing Nibbles!!! I'm hungry most of the time, so i've had to really be careful with what I eat so I don't gain a ton of weight and I don't mess with my sugar readings.
This Thursday we see Dr. Elders to have blood drawn as a follow up from the NT test a few weeks ago. I'm hoping we may get to hear Nibbles heartbeat again. :)

Dream
Last night I finally had a pregnancy/baby dream! When I was pregnant with Tyler I actually had a dream I was in a mall shopping will pushing a baby in a stroller.........surprisingly, my OB/GYN had an office in the mall (LOL) and I went in for a check-up. At this point I still had no idea if the baby was a boy or girl and when I even gave birth!! So I asked her if the baby was a boy or girl and she gave me this silly look and said, "It's a boy! Don't you remember?!?" I told her I had no memory of giving birth at all! She said he was born on January 12th. This dream happened before we had the big ultrasound and knew Ty was a boy.......and even though he was born on January 13Th, I was induced on the 12th! Freaky!!!
Anyhoo, last nights dream was SO weird!!! I was in a doctors office with a bunch of other women who were there to have their big ultrasounds to find out the gender of their babies. Well, they were so busy and so far behind that apparently I got sleepy and feel asleep. When I woke up, I asked the nurse if they had skipped over me and she said "Oh, we went ahead and the did the ultrasound while you were sleeping....the results are written up on the big chalkboard." So I went over to the chalkboard and saw this:
Chris
Girl
I guess we find out on the 22nd if my dream was right........................
