Ultrasound 3

Apparently, the doctor had hard time getting his/her heartbeat so they did another ultrasound. The doctor advised Wany to see a high risk pregnancy specialist just in case. This doctor seems to be ultra cautious compared to Dr. Winiger. The baby is filling up the space nicely compared to last ultrasound. Little Yoda is about 2 inches long.

I just wanted to add the baby's heartbeat is 158 per minute and was kicking away in my tummy. It was hard to believe I couldn't feel all that movement yet. We'll have to wait a couple of months before we feel the "alien" emerge.

I miss Dr. Winiger....

week 12

The nausea has finally settled down a bit. I told my sister and she says, "Oh good. That means your placenta's working." What a most interesting observation. I'm always learning from her.

I'm still feeling a little run down, but I find that if I move around more, I actually feel better. I thought I'd feel more tired, but what do I know? As long as I know when to stop moving, I shouldn't see the pillow or mattress at 5:00 anymore. Moderation...harder to do.

My recent cravings...fried potstickers from Yu's and grapefruit or anything citris-y...

Can you believe this baby is the size of a lime? Mmm....liiiimmmeee...
