shaking her head/14 weeks

Emery has a few new tricks....she can shake her head no and yes. However she's found the no much more useful. "are you done with bathtime?" shake the head no "do you want more of ___" the list goes on and on. It's quite funny. She also dances in a circle until she gets so dizzy she falls down. VERY funny. this is usually done while clapping her hands or waveing them in the air. ....to music or not.

we went to her 15 month apt yesterday and she's doing great. her weight is in the 3%. haha, little lady hasn't hit 20lbs yet. So she's still in the infant car seat. Dr. Davis said we're doing great and to keep it up. We have been trying to go by the 3 good things to every bad - meaning for every no there are 3 yes's. So we say "go bites" when she eats and "good sharing", "nice helping". and so on. Trying to always praise her for doing what's right. She's the best. She's so much fun!

The new baby is 14 weeks today, I still can't believe it. I'm not gaining as much weight as with Emery, but then again i started this pregnancy about 10 lbs lighter. I looked at my weight log for Emery and I gained 32lbs with her. So we'll see about this one. We cleared out the guest bedroom and are just waiting until October when we know the sex to pick the wallpaper and paint.

13 weeks

Today I went in for my 4th ultrasound. It went great! I was worried because I didn't "feel" pregnant, and with the bleeding I was just really not sure everything was ok.

I fit into my normal jeans this week and that threw me off, I thought that was a bad thing b/c it meant i got smaller from last month, not bigger. Turns out it was most likely a combination of bloating, retaining water, no motivation and increased apatite followed by no more bloating, more energy and less apatite. so there you have it.

The baby's heartbeat is 160 and strong. She/he was moving around and just chillin in there. Baby's size is good and the bleed spot is gone.....I think this is really happening.

Liv has challenged me to keep the new baby off facebook, so that's the plan. The first post about my pregnancy or the new baby will be a photo of the 4 of us in the hospital! So let's hope no one blows up my spot. I think the biggest issue might be someone tagging me in a photo in a few months...haha.
