Aleksia Update

She is getting so big and so clever. Not to mention wanting to be so independent. She is still a pretty good girl though. Her hair is getting long and she is just looking so much older.

The other day she decided she wanted to give herself a haircut, right on top, why is it always right on top and in the front? It's really not that bad, I can cover it up but still.

She is looking forward to being Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween. My mom is making her costume and so far it's adorable. I can't wait to take pictures of her in it.

Aleksia loves to color and draw and is getting really good and writing some of her letters, I am so proud of her. She is also really good at drawing faces, it's so cute cause she even draws in mustaches and beards on men who have them.

I just love my little girl she makes me laugh everyday and is always wanting to give hugs and kisses.

14 weeks

I'm officially in my 2nd trimester. YAY! My morning sickness is pretty much gone aside from right when I wake up, but if I sit through it a bit then it goes away for the rest of the day, SO glad about that. Still not feeling any movement or anything but I am getting a little tummy (will post pic tomorrow).

Aleksia just love the idea of a baby being in my belly, she is always kissing and hugging my belly and saying that she loves the baby. It is so dang cute.

21 more days until we find out the gender. :)

12 weeks 4 days

(picture taken at 12 weeks)

Had my routine prenatal appt. today. All is good. I am down 12 lbs but they aren't worried. Baby's heart rate was 160 and everything is looking good. I did have a bladder infection again, so a week more of antibiotics. I also got my anti-nausea meds. refilled. Good thing though, I only have to take one in the morning now and I am good all day. I am also eating more so I am sure I'll be gaining weight soon. I go back in on 11/20 for another checkup.

Oh, exciting news. I scheduled my 3d gender check for 11/6, it will be here before we know it. I can't wait to know what it is, I am dying to SHOP and plan.

NT Scan

Had my NT scan today (Nuchal Translucency) to check for markers of Downs Syndrome. All was good. I have to have some blood work today to get my ratios but I'm not really worried.

The fold measured 1.8 and the little bug's heartbeat was 158 BPM. The baby was measuring 12 weeks 6 days (I was 12 weeks 3 days according to my LMP). She was moving and jumping all around, it was so cute. She kept crunching her legs up and kicking them out and she also crossed her ankles it was so cute. She kept waving too.

Yes, I said SHE. The tech was pretty sure it is a GIRL, however it is still early so I will believe it at my gender scan on the 6th of Nov., I'll be 17 weeks then.

Here are some pictures of my little Bug.

Money shot.

It's October!

I'm so excited. I love that it's starting to cool off. I am also really excited for Halloween, I just love Halloween. We are going to decorate this weekend.

I have 2 appointments this next week, one is an ultrasound. I am excited to see this little bug again. Another exciting thing, I totally felt the bug move, little tiny flickers. It's so neat, I can't wait until it gets stronger.
