We had our second appointment with Dr. Somani on Monday. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat - and it was very strong at 162! I could even hear some movements and kicks. It is always such a magical sound - especially this early when I can't feel any movement. Right now at 13 weeks the baby is about the size of an adult fist (3-4in).
Dr. Somani said that by our next appointment - I probably won't be able to fit in my normal jeans - UGH...not sure i'm ready for maternity clothes just yet. I think I'll try to stick to the bella band for as long as possible (for those of you that don't know what a bella band is...it's a 12in elastic band that goes over the top of your jeans while they're unbuttoned - it gives you a good extra few weeks until pregnancy pants are essential).
Our next appointment will be February 22nd - and that will be with our high risk doctor - I will be 16 weeks and they will do an ultrasound. Even though everything went great with my pregnancy with Noah - Dr. Somani still wants me to see the specialist to measure my cervix every couple of weeks to make sure all is good. I don't mind...that just means we get to see our baby! I'm even hoping that they will be able to tell the sex...we shall see.
Speaking of sex - I see that there is a majority vote out there that Noah will have a sister?? You were all right with your predictions the first time - so we are very interested to see if this holds true for #2 In fact, that is a frequent question we get - are you hoping for a girl? Obviously it would be cool to have one of each...but if we are blessed with another boy - we would be just as excited!
We had an eventful week with illnesses. Noah had a pretty high fever/cough/runny nose on Wednesday so off to the doctor we went. Turns out it was just viral and something he had to get over. So...we had a mommy/Noah day on Thursday! This picture if from bath time and as you can see...he's feeling much better :-)
We hope everyone has a great weekend! Stay warm!
Love and Hugs to all...
Moe, Emily, Noah, and baby
