New Ultrasound pictures!



I am now over 13 weeks yay!! I don't have an appoinment with the Ob until May, but I've been having a lot of fun with the ultrasound machine at work. Everybody at work wants to see our little monkey on the screen so I've done an ultrasound almost everyweek and it's so fun. He/she is so active now. Last week the baby was doing backflips and jumping up and down as if my uterus was a trampoline...too funny. The best was when the baby decided to do some "air humping" for Iwan. He thought that was the most hilarious thing. That's our kid alright hahaha! Well, I did an ultrasound last night because my friend Hayley wanted to see the monkey and he/she was sucking it's thumb the whole time. Plus we saw that the monkey has the longest legs and arms...totally takes after daddy. It's hard to get good pictures on the work ultrasound machine especially when the little one moves so much but I got a couple just to show how much that kid has grown in the last few weeks...amazing.

As for me, if it wasn't for the ultrasounds and the doppler, I wouldn't feel pregnant. I feel really good. No more fatigue, no nausea. Only thing is that my fibromyalgia has really been acting up the last few days. Last night I actually had to leave work early because I was in so much pain, I just couldn't take it anymore. Unfortunately, the only medication that works for me when I'm like that is Lyrica and I can't take while pregnant. So, I just have to grin and bear it. Oh well, it's all worth it.

So have fun looking at the pictures. I labeled them so they would be easier to understand. The head looks distorted, but it's normal. It's just the way the ultrasound machine's printer prints the pictures. It looks totally normal on the regular screen
