Week 15

Your Baby: Week 15
Continuing the march towards normal proportions, baby's legs now outmeasure the arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements.

Ouch!

Well, today I got to experience my first episode of rounding ligament pain! I was at work and I started to get a stabbing pain in my lower right abdomen. It was pretty painful, so I was concerned! I didn't immediately think it was the baby because of where it was, but I of course didn't want to take any chances. My wonderful father-in-law was able to pick me up since Mike was on-air and take me to my ob-gyn to check on things. Mike met me there when he was finished and we got the great news that there was nothing wrong with the baby, and that it wasn't appendicitis! It was nice to see the baby again too! He/she is doing great, we counted fingers and toes and the Dr. said it even waved at us to say that it was doing just fine:) Mike still tried to get the Dr. to find out the sex...and once again he was let down! I obviously married my soul mate because we both can't stand waiting for ANYTHING! The Dr. said to stay off of my feet for the rest of the day and take some Tylenol for the pain. I felt a little silly because I know that ligament pain is a common thing in pregnancy, but it really hurts!! Mine started at 10:30 this morning and at 8:30pm it's still there...so I'm hoping that it will start to get better! But when I think about why it's hurting and I realize that it's just making room for our baby, I'm happy that it's there. I want the baby to be comfy with plenty of room! I hope to get our pics from last weeks appointment scanned so I'll have those on here soon!

Baby Guerity

Hello Everyone! We wanted to start a blog for all of our family and friends who live around the country so that you can stay updated on Baby Guerity's growth! So far, I am 14 weeks along and just starting my 2nd trimester. Mike and I have been waiting to get to this point so that we could relax a little bit!

We had an appointment today and it was amazing. First we got to hear the heartbeat and it was right at 155bpm which the doctor said was perfect. Then we went in to have an ultra sound so they could check the measurements of the baby. Wow, did it grow! I was able to see fingers, toes, the brain, and even it's nose! The baby was moving around a lot, but the ultrasound tech said that he/she was very cooperative. Plus...our baby is kind of a big deal...it was doing so well that the tech asked if she could take extra pictures to use in a few months to renew her ultrasound license! She could have taken pictures all day because I just couldn't take my eyes off of the screen, and neither could Mike.

Our BIG appointment is Feb. 26 and that's when we'll find out the sex of the baby. We can't WAIT! I'll post some pictures up here soon.
