14 Weeks 2 Days

My baby is about the size of a lemon this week! I love reading the different pregnancy websites and learning all about what is going on inside my body. I am looking forward to feeling the baby move and seeing a baby bump! I know I am getting bigger though because my mom and I had to go out and get some maternity clothes already. We hit up Motherhood at the mall and got a new maternity bra, a tee shirt, and some jeans! We also went to the uniform shop and got a couple pairs of pants that will stretch some and a couple shirts that will stretch for work. In about 6 weeks we can find out if we are having a boy or girl! I added a poll on the right side of the blog for my readers to enter a guess as to what we are having! This should be fun!

Baby News!

I had my ultrasound and doctors appointment yesterday and everything went really well. They said I am 12 weeks 1 day along (yesterday). My due date is July 30th, which was my grandma Carlson's birthday and is my brother-in-law Tom's birthday! The baby looked good on the ultrasound was moving around a bit and had a heart beat of 156. I got pictures and had my mom scan one in but you can barely see anything so I won't be posting on here. Hopefully next time I have an ultrasound maybe I can get it emailed to me or put on a disc! I know that my sister-in-law Lisa is definately looking forward to seeing the baby! I still can't believe I am pregnant and already three months along.

My mom and her friend Patti and I went to a couple places yesterday afternoon to browse baby stuff. Baby Fischer is already getting spoiled! Mom bought her future grandchild 2 onesies, a 3 piece layette, and a boppy pillow. Patti bought baby a onesie, a security blanket and a little pillow to put the baby info on! Everything they bought is gender neutral so it can be used for either. I am planning on finding out the sex of the baby because I am not patient enough to wait for another 6 months to find out. I think my next ultrasound is when I am around 20 weeks.

We're Having a BABY!

I went to the doctor today for a couple reasons, one being a missed period in December, and they did a blood pregnancy test on me. I got a phone call a couple hours later and the nurse told me that I am preganant! This came as a complete shock to me as I didn't even think that I was pregnant but I am just starting to get used to the news now. My doctor called shortly after the nurse and I got off the phone and judging by some dates .... she's thinking I'm about 9-12 weeks pregnant. I am having an ultrasound bright and early in the morning to find out how far along I am and to see when my due date is. I am really excited to see the baby on the ultrasound. That will make it so much more real for me.

I am starting this blog for a journal for our unborn baby. I will update regularly on the pregnancy and the baby's growth and development.

Until tomorrow I'm off for some much needed sleep!
