Our baby loves to wave

I got to see Baby C today for the THIRD time! Of course he/she was waving at us...kid loves to wave. It never fails to make me laugh. This time Matt could not come, so my mom and sister came. They loved it and my mom asked 8 million questions. The nurse was so nice and showed her around my uterus LOL. The 3 of us got to hear the heartbeat too. That is pretty freakin cool! At first he/she was sleepy and kind of stretching its arms and legs. Then the nurse gave it a couple of jabs through my belly and got it to move. It was waving and moving its little hands and feet! Vey cute. I just love seeing our baby!

So, the real question from some of you veteran moms is probably "why the hell do you get so many ultrasounds?" This may be tmi for some, but I have a low lying placenta that they are going to monitor. Worse case is I would need a c section if it does not rise like it should. Today when they checked it, there was some slight improvement. I'm just at 14 weeks, so they said there is still plenty of time for the placenta to rise to its normal spot. Not ideal, but until its where they want it I get to have an ultrasound every 2-3 weeks! Next one is December 2nd. Can't wait!

Here are some pictures of Baby C:

Facing us! Alien baby (head on right)! You can see its little arm and fingers too... waving per usual.

I also think I can feel Baby C swimming around in there. It's not a kick, but its like a whirlpool in my belly. I notice it mostly at night when I am lying around. It is a cool feeling! I can't wait until we can feel kicking.

I did not post these last time...kind of delayed, possibly kind of gross, but damn right I saved them. My pee sticks! I have no shame. I also peed on like 10 of them...one just didn't cut it for me LOL.

Holy pregnant...test # 1 (9/2/11)

Then, I ran to the store and grabbed some digitals.  Yes Lea, you are "pregnant".

I continued to pee on several other tests that same day b/c I was still in shock.  I.Am.Crazy.

Me and a couple of pee sticks. All smiles :)

Matt and I still can't believe this is really happening. We are trying to decide on finding out the sex/gender (whatever you want to call it). I'm "team green" aka not wanting to find out. Matt is chomping at the bit. It will be around Christmas if we decide to find out. Also, I need to start looking into daycares and registering. We went into babies R us and we were like fish out of water. It is like a foreign country in there. All I concluded was that car seats are ridiculously heavy and there was not even a baby in it! I need to start doing some major baby research!

Much love people! xoxo
