Milestones
A friend of mine asked me for milestones in my pregnancy. I have not really kept track of this other than on my calendar. I wrote a little something out about all of them. I have decided to share them with everyone.
Positive pregnancy test- 8/4/2010. I actually was buying alcohol to make Jello shots for a BBQ at the Phillips house. I was a couple days late, so I picked up a pregnancy test too. In the middle of making the Jello shots Kev made me take the test before we “sampled”. I took the test and made him come to the bathroom so we could see the results together. It was positive. We were excited but nervous. I took another one the next 2 mornings to make sure it was really positive.
First Dr app- 9/1/10. I work with all of the Doctors, so I knew which one I wanted. We chose Dr. Herron.
Heard first heartbeat- 9/1/10. At the Dr appointment we has our first ultrasound and heard the heartbeat for the first time. Kev and I were relieved that there was only 1. It sounded like a galloping horse. On our way out, I could hear Kev making the heartbeat noise. It was magical.
Told family- 9/1/10. We told both of our families the same way. We were looking to buy a house. We told them that we found a house for a little one to live in… in my belly. Both sets of parents were overjoyed and cried. The hardest part of all of this…. They could not tell anyone.
Told friends- 10/12/10- 14 weeks. Could not hold it in any longer!
Nickname- 11/9/10. Nicknamed my belly Babyroo!
Sex of baby- 10/31/10. We used the US at work and were looking at the baby. A week earlier we had looked and thought we saw “boy parts” but were not positive. The US machine is very grainy and is hard to read. I was talking about it at the desk and someone who shall remain un-named, but knows how to use the machine better, confirmed it was a boy!
Flutter- 11/15/10. I probably have been feeling little flutters for a while, but thought it was gas. I finally put 2 and 2 together and I have flutters!!!! I can’t feel it from the outside, just the inside.
Kev felt baby- 12/15/10. I am a sleeper. I love to sleep. Kev usually gets up before me. I had worked the night before and was just laying in bed feeling the flutters. I swear I could feel it from the outside!!! I told Kev to come see if he could feel it. He could! There were tears in his eyes!
Popped- 12/18/10. 23 weeks. We were in Bako visiting Sarah. On Sat morning after I got dressed, Kev looked at me and smiled and told me I popped! I officially looked like I had a belly!
Confirmed sex of baby 1/3/11. We kind of knew it was a boy from the US at work. The US machine from work is from the 80’s and I kept dreaming it was a girl, so we wanted it confirmed. Dr. Herron found it right away!
Hiccups- 2/11/11. I had been feeling the baby move for a while. I can push back and the baby will play with me. This time there was rhythmic moving for a couple of minutes. I got the baby to move and the rhythmic moving came back. It was the hiccups!
