doctor visit today

So we saw Dr. Shaffer today...
Bad news, no ultrasound :( We have to wait until March 19th or so to have one. That's when we'll find out what he/she is.
Good news, we heard the heartbeat!!! Yea!! I liked Dr. Shaffer. Everything went well. They drew about a gallon of blood from me. I go back February 18th. It'll just be labs and an exam. So he said everything looked good.
I told him I felt like this week my belly started poking out. He said that makes sense because the uterus has moved out of the pelvis at this point and has shifted other stuff around in there. Made me feel a little better. Anyway, I guess that's it for now. Yea baby!! :)

Oh, and, when Dr. Shaffer walked in the first thing on the medical history was my age. He said, 26?! Are you sure? You look like a teenager. This comes about a week after I was carded at Walmart to buy a rated R movie. The date that flashed on the screen was 1992..."Is customer's birthday before 01/22/1992? And she asked me for ID. I showed it to her and she said, "wow, you beat that by 10 years!" Yep, so apparently I can pass for 17?? I'm am NOT complaining mind you. I just always thought I looked my age. Maybe people are just trying to be nice to me...Or maybe pregnancy really agrees with me...Or at least my face. haha I guess after little Flip gets here I can consider being mistaken for a 17 year old a thing of the past. I'll be lucky to pass for 3o when I'm running on 3 hours of sleep a night. Lack of sleep does not agree with me. :)

13 weeks

Okay, so I don't have much to say. I just wanted to post updated belly pics. Again, in the 13 week picture I look pretty homely, but I really couldn't care less to be perfectly honest. Kinda feel poopy today. Anyway, I'm posting the 12 week pic first for comparison purposes. Also, I start my new job tomorrow. I got the job at tamu. We'll see how it goes. :) Oh, and Justin and I bought him a new truck on Friday. It's really pretty. And very nice. So here's the pics.

It rained the day we got it, so it's a little dirty, but we're so excited about it!

Oh, and I go to Dr. Shaffer on Thursday. I really hope they do an ultrasound and I get a pic of our little Flip. Keep your fingers crossed. :)

My First Post

Original title, huh? Well, Justin and I are pregnant...well not so much him...but you know what I mean. :) I have already had 2 ultrasounds, one at around 6 weeks and one at around 9 I think. Both looked great. We saw the heartbeat...the second one showed the heartbeat was 170 bpm (which was just fine). But, I didn't get any pictures, which I'm totally bummed about. However, if you've ever seen an ultrasound earlier than about 11 weeks, you know that it's not much to look at. Since we just moved I have had to find a new doctor. I will be seeing Dr. Shaffer on January 29th. Hopefully I'll have an ultrasound that day to see that my little "Flip" is doing okay. That's what we call him/her. Flip. Sounds kinda weird I know, but that's his/her name (for now). I've been feeling okay pretty much. Anyway, I just got the pictures off my camera of the weekly belly pics we've been taking. At this point, they're not much to look at. They're just of my bloated belly. Just bloat. Not baby yet. You can kinda tell that the bloat is starting to subside in my 12 week pic. At least I can...maybe it's just me. Anyway, here they are. Excuse my raggedy wardrobe and face. Some of them are sans makeup. Hey, I've been living in pajama pants...why should I put makeup on? Speaking of living in pajama pants, I still haven't heard back from TAMU on my job. Keep your fingers crossed!
