Well today I'm 12 weeks, 4 days. I decided to rent a fetal doppler otherwise I wouldn't be able to hear the heartbeat for the first time until 15 weeks!!! So I went to storkradio.com and paid $25 and received my doppler yesterday! Well I tried of course first thing of getting it and, baby wouldn't cooperate. Every time I'd get a reading and hear ONE thump baby would move and I'd have to try and find him/her again. I even tried to get Joel to help me locate the baby's beat and nada.
Today, I tried again at home and used some advice the BabyCenter Girls I talk to gave me and POOF! There it was as clear as could be. I called Joel at work and made him listen lol but, he said we'll have to hear it again when he gets off. He was smiling and I know this by the sound of his voice.
Anyways~being out of the 1st trimester is awesome!! I LOVE IT!!! I feel a lot better about myself, I get to stop taking progesterone Saturday at 13 weeks, I'm terrified but soo glad at the same time! Saturday to celebrate being out of the 1st trimester my Aunt, mom, and I went out shopping. I just bought a bib and my mom bought a monkey hat, onesies, and sleepers. They were gender neutral but, I think she's stuck on this Jungle theme all I heard was, "MONKEYS!!" lol I guess Jungle theme isn't too bad! :) My Aunt got me some onesies, sleepers, socks, and wipes. She also bought me a maternity shirt! It was great getting out with them! I can't wait to find out what baby is on October 8th. It'd make my life a lot easier for shopping purposes!!! I still guess BOY! lol
Well symptoms are subsiding IMMENSELY!! I still get nauseated every now and then but, no where NEAR as bad as it was. I have no headaches and the only problem I can think of is pulling pains which apparently are normal but, annoying. Now to look forward to October 8th!!
