Here HE is.

Say hello to our son.

Feelin' the Baby

Finally, I am starting to feel pregnant.

Yesterday I laid down put my hand on my tummy and felt a couple of taps from the inside. To me it feels like a pencil eraser giving me a poke. SO COOL.

I made Jesse touch my belly and he felt it too!
There is some crazy karate chopping going on there.

When we went to visit the doctor today, we heard the heartbeat. 140bpm.

We will be going to a gender scan ultrasound next week.
Anyone care to take a guess?

And while we patiently wait, a random photo.

Miss me?

Between working, sleeping and resting I have been very lazy.
There, I admit it.

I've been growing and am proud to report that I have a little belly.
And according to the ER doctor I waited 4 hours to see on Friday, measuring at 16 weeks...

Let me explain.
This Friday, I was feeling some sharp stabbing pains in my lower abdomen. Between these pains I felt a dull ache. I called the doc and he had me come in. Long story short, he told me that I have a small polyp on my cervix, which can cause "some irritation". As the day went on the pain got way worse. As I was resting at home, I was in such horrible pain that I literally had tears. It felt like when my cyst ruptured EXCEPT that it was not constant. It was coming and going.
Upon seeing me in tears, Jesse took me to the ER.
After 4 hours of pain (and a really cool Ultrasound!), the ER doc said there was nothing wrong with me. He went along with the polyp theory.
My theory?
SEVERE Round Ligament Pain. It comes and goes. I think when my uterus decides it needs to stretch, my pain is on a higher level then the average preggo. I think I hurt more due to my endo adhesions not being able to strech like a regular muscle.
So, that is the story.

Other than this string of events, I have nothing much to report other than Jesse thinks this kid is going to walk out on its own. He was such a proud papa when they said the baby was measuring large... too cute.

Well, that is all I got for now.
As things move along, I'll keep you all informed.
