April 16th - Sunnyside Maternity

So today I had my second Maternity Appointment at Riley Park Maternity Clinic with the Sunnyside Group and I had a great time. 

Unfortunately Shaun couldn't make it due to work but we had a great catch up when he finished work. 

They checked my weight and I had only gain an ounce in the last 4 weeks, haha. So she wants me to attempt to gain some weight now, easier said than done when you want to puke every day! 

I finally got to hear baby's heart beat - It was amazing! It sounded like a choo choo train, so beautiful! I cannot remember whether it was beating at 155 or 158 beats per minute but either way it was a nice strong heart beat.

The doc has prescribed me a pregnancy support belt for my back as it has been giving me a little trouble. 

She also showed me how to fell the uterus which has now popped out of my pelvis and in to my tummy, hence the instant bump that seems to have protruded over night!! She also informed me that I have been moved forward, so officially 13 weeks pregnant yesterday - She said "Welcome to the Second Trimester". Big grins all round!

They have arranged to see me again on May 14th and we have our 18 week scan booked for May 28th! :)

Lots of love from the 3 of us xx

April 15 - 12 Week Ultrasound Scan!

The scan was amazing!! Shaun and I watched in awe as our little stinker already should us it's stubborn side by tucking itself in to the corner! He gave us a few hand waves and enjoyed pushing himself off the side of my uterus with both feet. Very very comical to watch!

Unfortunately the Ultrasound Technician went home for the day whilst we were attempting getting the results from the Nurse after the scan so we received one printed image and the rest were taken by us on our phone. The CD with all of the other images is on it's way to us in the mail.
