Second appointment and Busy week!

Wednesday 16^th of march 2011 (14 weeks 5 days)

Hey Little Nugget!!!

So many good news this week. I wish I could have written to you before but we had a French test that took a lot of our time. I’m quite sure we’ve done okay though. It’s sort of like you bring me luck, we’ve been doing excellent in doing exams since you’re there. I know it doesn’t mean it’s because of you but hey, two brains are better than one. So, what have we done this week? Well, we started lent, where mommy, and you, gave up any kind of sweets and yummies (coke, chips, candies…) what a huge sacrifice. I think we’ll lose weight by the time we’re done this. Although…you do make me eat like a pig and I didn’t gain any weight at all since I became pregnant. As a matter of fact, that brings us to our second doctor appointment.

I was quite scared of getting weighted because we eat anything that crosses our mind and our eyes. You must be taking a lot of those calories because we lost 2.5 pounds. It’s not “good” but it’s still considered healthy. We’ll probably gain weight by the end of pregnancy rather than in the beginning, nothing wrong with that. Other than that, you are doing GREAT. Oh and, thank you, you were good and listened to me; MOMMY GOT TO HEAR YOUR HEARTBEAT! For the very first time. It was a magical moment. I’m so happy that I got to hear it, it takes away a lot of my fears and it confirmed that I was truly feeling you. You were positioned in the very same spot that vibrated on my tummy and I think Daddy felt you already, like …once? Well maybe he said he did to make me feel better, but we can feel you when we touch the bottom of my tummy because you’re a big hard ball. You seem to move a lot depending on the time of the day but usually you stick to the left side. I guess it’s pretty comfortable for you. Good! 

Other than hearing the heartbeat (that was at 140-155 bpm- the doctor didn`t confirm just said it was very good) the rest of the week was okay. Nothing too special happened. Mommy is still going crazy on shopping and buying you everything in advance. Which is quite bad (oh, you just moved!) because when we actually will get to buy blue or pink clothes you’ll already have lots of clothes…blah. That’s fine, right? Ah! I’m so curious to know if you’re going to be our Little boy or out Little girl. At this point, I have no preferences and I’ll be super happy either way but I sure am getting impatient. Can’t you just give me a sign? No…? Not even a little one? I’ve been getting mixed signals recently. 

Also, great news! We got a midwife!!!! So mommy and daddy will be able to give birth to you in a birthing center instead of you being born at the hospital (which freaked the Halo out of mommy). So, that’s good news…on the bad side, it’s 2 hours away from home…and it involves a lot of bus/metro travelling. We’ll be fine right? Unless you decide to make me faint and vomit like last time. *stares*. Be a good Little Nugget!

Anyways, that was it for this week, you are evolving great! I can’t wait to have you in my arms! Time is so slow yet flying by. You’re getting really big by the way. 3 inches…almost 3.5 inches. I can’t believe you started out as the size of a sesame seed. Now you’re pretty big. Congrats….keep it healthy.

Mommy and Daddy love you a lot, can’t wait to be able to feel you move around a bit more!

Take care swim safely!
