I found out I was pregnant after our vacation in March. Chief and I saw the doctor in April and that is when we saw the little heart beat. It was so special. Of course I cried. Since then, we have had an ultrasound as a screening for possible chromosome abnormalities to the baby. We are awaiting those results. The little guy was squirming and kicking. We even got “mooned”. The experience was amazing. To see our baby moving about was incredible. I was joking because he was active and I am not a morning person so I am sure he is taking after his father.
The ultrasound technologist did a measurement and subsequently the baby measured a week bigger than what we expected so our due date got changed to November 21st.
Because of my hypothryroidism, we will continue to be monitored by the High Risk OB physicians. Apparently the concern is growth and development of the baby. They will monitor my TSH levels and watch the baby with ultrasounds starting at 20 weeks. I will be asking very specific questions about this at my next appointment so I can give more details later.
I have been feeling good. I get occasional nausea and I am tired but I hear this should be ending soon. I still walk in the mornings and I am really wanting to swim. It is just that I am tired when I get home from work so I have not had the energy to go to the YMCA. Maybe this week will be better.
By the way, we don’t want to find out the sex of the baby. I know that there is a chance we may accidentally find out with the upcoming ultrasounds but we are not planning on it. As Chief said “there are not enough surprises in life.” I have been calling the baby “my little guy” and after a recent trip to Florida we started to call the baby Nemo. If she is a girl I will apologize to her in person in 6 months.
