I went to the OB about a week and a half ago for my monthly check up. Tony was a soldier and stayed home with Gabby, which I'm glad he did because I had to wait for an hour and a half to see the doctor and we're usually in and out within 30 minutes. When I finally got to see the doctor, he asked me how I was feeling. I told him how I'm still really nauseous and still vomiting. It stopped at 15 weeks with Gabby, but I'm 16 weeks now and I still have it. I hope I'm not sick the entire pregnancy. Anyway, the medications I take for it work off and on. It's a hit and miss with pretty much every prescription. So back to the doctor visit-he started to do the Doppler on me to get the baby's heart beat. I told him I was convinced it was another girl because the pregnancy is almost identical to Gabby's. He said, "really? I would guess a boy." I asked him why and the baby kept kicking during the Doppler so he could never get a steady heart beat. He would get maybe two or three beats in and then the baby would kick. So his reasoning is boys are more active than girls, which I've heard that before. The cool thing is I can already feel the little baby in there. I couldn't feel Gabby 20 weeks-right after we found out it was a girl. But apparently with subsequent pregnancies you can usually feel the baby earlier. It's cool to be able to experience it so soon. So that's what's new with the new baby.
As for Gabby, she's still growing big. Her favorite food so far is carrots. She scarfs those down so fast! On Labor Day a friend and I took our kids to the park because it was so gorgeous outside. Gabby went on the swing for the first time and she loved it! I took pictures, but I can't find the cord to my camera to upload them. As soon as I find it, I'll post them. She's so cute! She's scooting every once in a while but nothing consistent, so we're still working on that. But she's doing wonderfully!
Well I can tell you that Ian was DEFINITELY more active than Morgan was in there!
ReplyDeleteI hope the nausea goes away soon, that is miserable! I know it sounds hippie- but my friend used those magnet bracelets and she swears by them for pregnancy sickness. You might want to give them a go :)
It sounds like Gabby is doing great! Yay for her liking her veggies :) Can't wait to see the swing pictures!
