My Milestones & Events


On September 3, 2015 at 12 weeks 1 day pregnant
12 week scan
All went really well. Bean is now 67mm crl and everything was where it should be... As much as the sonographer struggled to see it as it wiggled and rolled lol! Nuchal translucency measurement was 1.8 so nice and low. We are so happy!!

Felt My Baby Move for the First Time
Well I've had a tough time of it of late... Every symptom but sickness... The hormones are INSANE!!
I don't feel like I'm in control AT ALL! But today I got a reward...
I was looking for beans heartbeat and found it pretty quick as usual. Once I find it I listen to it for a bit just to get the monitor to do the bpm check.. Then I leave it...but today as I listened I felt a bumb on the speaker and movement at the same time!!! I'm only 11.3!! Was so pleased! After the first movement I got a few more... Then I got up as I don't like to use the Doppler for too long. Happy isn't the word!!!
Thrilled. Exstatic.
Can't wait to see bean on Thursday!!

Heard Baby's Heartbeat for the First Time
I bought myself a Doppler for the last pregnancy but sadly never got to use it. I thought I'd try yesterday to hear it but no luck.. I assumed I was just a bit too fat and a bit too early... Even though I've heard of other mums hearing it with a home Doppler from 8.5 wks.
So today I tried again... Found my swooshing beat no trouble... Eventually found babies.... Was awesome!!!
SO HAPPY TO KNOW ITS OK IN THERE!!!
I even managed to record it on my phone... So happy!!

8 week scan.
8 week scheduled normal scan.
Was awesome!! Good strong heartbeat that we could see.
Last time bean was 3.2mm and measuring 5.3wks even though I was 6 wks.
Today it measures 20.6mm and measures 8.5 and I'm 8.1 weeks.
So it's grown 17 mm in two weeks!! I'm impressed!! bean is being a fatty! SO HAPPY!
Just gotta get through to the 12 week scan and were home free!
Fingers crossed!
