9 Weeks

That's Peanut Baby #2 in there!  I just hate that double belly look!

How far along: 9 weeks

Total weight gain: + 3 lbs since my first doctor's visit at 4 weeks.

How much does baby weigh: a fraction of an oz.

Maternity clothes: I'm wearing maternity pants already but regular shirts.

Sleep: I go to bed at my normal bedtime around 10:30 but I'm typically so tired before then.  I've been sleeping through the night unless I wake once for a potty break.

Movement: Too early

Belly button in or out: Still an innie

We have a heartbeat!

Today we had a viability ultrasound followed by our first official OB apt.  Peanut has a nice strong heart beating away at 168 beats per minute.  The new due date based on today's ultrasound is June 2, 2012...our 5th wedding anniversary!!!

Peanut has little arm and leg buds sprouting from its sides. Baby even waved to us just briefly!

The appointment itself was fairly brief...health history followed by a blood draw of 5 vials.  We opted to do the NT scan on Nov. 16th at Good Sam and our next appointment is Nov. 23rd!

Confirmation Appointment

Today I had my first doctor's appointment.  Really the only purpose of this visit is to confirm whether you are pregnant or not.  As of right now, the due date for baby #2 is June 5, 2012.  I ended up fibbing a bit about the date of my last period to increase my odds of VBAC.  After a bit of prompting from the doctor, I "claimed" to not know the date of my last period so that I could have an ultrasound scheduled.  We'll hopefully get our first glimpse of Baby Bean on 10/26.
