Yes, it's mid-August and cool enough that I was comfortable wearing this! I feel an early winter coming on this year!
Due Date: January 30, 2014
Gender: Not sure…we have our ultrasound on Sept 13th
Movement: Very little that I can feel but when the doctor was trying to find the heartbeat, he kept asking if I could feel the movement. Apparently BB (our nickname for Baby Butler) is quite active!
Feeling: I've had a good week...still can't get enough sleep though!
Food Cravings: this week...a veggie sub from Subway
Food Aversions: Nothing specific
Clothes: Maternity all the way - they aren't quite as tight on the bump
Stretch Marks: No…fingers crossed it stays that way
Sleep: Good – usually get up once during the night to go to the bathroom.
Symptoms: Lack of energy and the obvious growing belly but otherwise things are good now.
What I Miss: Hot dogs! Not sure that will change!
Wedding Rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: The next ultrasound so I can see how much BB has grown and possibly find out the gender.
Best Moment: Hearing the heart beat at the doctor's appointment!
Doctor's Appointment Update: When they knocked to come in, it wasn't our doctor. It was a student. He asked a few questions then our doctor came in. The student tried to get the heart beat...it was several minutes of him trying. I kept telling myself to stay calm because he probably hadn't done that a ton. And BB is so little, I'm sure its hard to hit the right spot. While he was searching our doctor was also talking to us...we really liked him. Anyway, the doctor finally took the machine and immediately found the heart beat on his own. I don't think the student was pressing down hard enough. The heart beat ranged from 145 to 155. It never was at a still pace. I think BB was trying to get away from something pushing in his little home. I think the heart beat is the greatest sound ever!
