Guessing the Gender

According to this Chinese Gender Chart we will be having a girl :)

Do you have a guess?

Prediction and Exciting News

So I was talking to Rebecca and she apparently asked her son what sex our baby would be. He said we would have a girl! She said he's usually right on with these things, but we'll have to wait and see. A girl would be cheaper since I own already a ton of girls clothes.

Also today I noticed that I think I have a belly bump :) I was lying down and felt it and you can feel it while i'm standing too. Jason confirmed it was definitely not all in my head :) YAY!

Also got my hair cut, but pics of that will have to wait until I take some :) hehehe

A Oui (wee) Bit Scared

(A post from the sarcastic pregnancy journal)

After getting over the initial “I’m having a baby!” shock, we began to spread the news. Of course, people asked how I was feeling.“Nervous,” I’d tell them. “Freaked.”

“If you are freaked then why are you having another baby? Why try if you’re going to be scared by the results?”

Might I add, at this point, that everyone who said that to me didn’t have kids.

The decision to have a baby is a lot like the decision to move to France. France sounds cool, other people like France. It would be fun to move to France!

Then you buy the plane ticket and France starts to seem a little scary.

You’ll have to learn a new language! They eat snails! Didn’t someone once tell you that people in France don’t shower that often?

Come to think of it, moving to France and having a baby have a lot in common

HCG Level

As of yesterday my HCG level was 1,887 which means I'm increasing :) yay!

I also feel like I have a touch of the stomach flu, which mom thinks is the start of morning sickness :\ Which is not making me happy. Since TOMORROW we eat turkey, and all the other yummy thanksgiving favorites I'm going to cook with mom...I had better be able to consume them without paying dearly for it later...although I will say that i'm atleast feeling more pregnant :) Which makes me happy.

Symptoms

My symptoms this far have been really only fatigue! But tonight after eating on two separate occasions something a little greasy I got heartburn and nauseous. Which I DID have the same issues with Kaitlin however I didn't get them until I was around 20+ weeks. So we will see where this goes.

Doc Called

How much do I love that since my appointment was cut short yesterday my doc called me today to check in and see if I had any more questions. I love that office! It was the actual doc too not a nurse :)

I didn't have too many questions one was when we would be potentially looking at the cerclage surgery but we had talked about that. I did confirm that I would be pulled from work end of January which means my boss won't be too happy, but this baby comes first she can understand that.

Also my hcg levels were good, they were 1,500 which means that my next visit they should over 2,000 which means we go for an ultrasound next week!! YAY! I call friday to schedule it :) I'm SO excited! I WILL get a pic of whatever is there and I WILL scan it and post it :)

That is it for this time around, until next appointment!

Week 5

Size: 5/64 of an inch or 2 millimeters
Weight: Less than 1 gram

Your baby's microscopic heart begins to beat this week—although it won't be detectable with one of those cool Dopplers for a few weeks, so you'll have to wait a little longer to hear that satisfying "whoosh-whoosh" you're so anxious for.
Your baby is only 2 millimeters long—about the size of a sesame seed.
