16wks

Those are a few pictures taken at 16wks & 3days. I can't believe in 9 days we might find out if we are having a boy or girl. With Chloie i was almost 8 months before i found out i was having a girl.

I think the nausea is starting to fade away. Now i just wish the food aversions would. I have not been able to eat hardly any meat. Don't know why but i gag every time. So hopefully that will soon fade to.

Our baby is the size of an avocado this week.

Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.

Week 16

* Fat begins to form underneath skin, providing your baby with insulation for the coming months.
* Did you know that both baby and placenta are now about the same size?
* Your little one has reached 4.57 inches (11.6cm) and approximately 3.53 ounces (100gm).
* His head and neck are held straighter now.
* This is a week of "mights!" You might hear the tiny thumps of his heartbeat with an external monitor now. The genitals are developed sufficiently that an experienced sonographer might be able to determine if your baby is a boy or a girl.
* Her heart is pumping as much as 6 gallons of blood a day and beats at a rate about double your heartrate.
* If you could take a peek inside, you would witness your child's reflexes in action! (Sucking, swallowing and blinking are now evident.) She is probably even hiccuping even though you don't feel it yet!
* Your baby has learned to breathe! This is apparent from the regular movements of his chest. Isn't it amazing that he is able to breathe "underwater," inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid? These actions help the lungs to develop and grow.

15wks

I'm officially 15wks & 3days pregnant! Hopefully i can take a photo tomorrow. I thought i was getting some of my energy back but this weekend i've been nothing but exhausted. I think i have felt the baby move but it is hard to tell. It's been 5yrs since i felt Chloie inside for the first time so I don't remember to well what it felt like.
Only 3 more weeks until we hopefully find out if we are having a boy or girl! I am so excited and can't wait.

Here is a few info from some pregnancy site about what is happening this week:

Your nearly four-inch long gymnast is happily mobile inside your womb and if you're really lucky, you’ll notice a point when your sneezing, coughing or laughing results in a little kick here or a poke there. Still, many women don't feel anything until the 17th week or later. Although the poking and kicking isn't very charming during sleeping hours, it’s a good sign as it means your baby is actually reacting to outside events. Yay! You’ve got yourself one active healthy baby! Their little elbows and knees are bending more freely this week and their little legs are finally growing longer than their arms and getting pumped up for prenatal Richard Simmons. Many of their major organ systems are increasing in capacity—particularly that amazing tiny heart and complex circulation system, which is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood per day, and will increase to a very impressive 200 quarts per day by the end of the pregnancy. As far as hair goes, we’ve got some new scalp patterns beginning to develop on the head, although actual head hair is not yet present.

Online predictions

While reading another pregnancy blog i spotted an online gender predictor based on the babies heart beat. Here are the results:



Hopefully in a few weeks at our next appointment we will know if that is right or not!

14wks

Just wanted to post a few pics that were taken at 14wks.

13 1/2 wks

My appt was at 4pm and didn't get out of there till 5- 5:15. So anyways we heard the baby's heartbeat!!! That made my day! It was 150 beats per minute. Then the dr asked is we wanted to see the baby. I was like of course. So she did a quick ultrasound and we saw the baby swinging it's arms and kicking it's legs and the heart beating. I feel so blessed. I felt very blessed after 2 yrs of Trying to conceive to have Chloie then after all the problems after i feel blessed twice to be having this baby. When i heard the heartbeat and saw the baby Cory and I both shed a few tears. We thought we were going to be a family of three and that we should just feel blessed to have Chloie. I thank God for both of my miracles! Thank You to everyone for all the thoughts and prayers! It means alot to us!

I go back to the dr in 4wks. I told Dr Sullivan that i would be bringing Chloie because she wants to see the baby. She said she would be sure to to do an ultrasound for her to see the baby. She also said she can't promise but she will try to see if we can tell what we are going to be having at that time! So the count down is on to see if Miss Chloie is going to have a baby brother or sister!
