12 week ultrasound

I had my 12w ultrasound today, and HOLY COW, is all i can say!. First of baby has over doubled its size and is now 6.2 cm big (measuring 12w3d) and its SUPER active he/ she was bouncing around, waiving those little arms & sucking his/her thumb!. It was ADORABLE and we got a picture of him/her in a Bodybuilder pose lol it really looks like he/she is showing off those tiny muscles <3
But look for yourself!



Would you look at those tiny arms <3 <3!!!!! tom said " this HAS to be a boy, look at HIM, hes a Show off" lol The doc thought our "little" stickybean was really entertaining but it was a PITA to get any pictures.

He then tried to get a CTL {crown to rumph length} he had to be REAL qick because this baby was ALL.OVER.THE.PLACE. You can see part of the spine and the little shoulder <3

Then right before he was done with the Ultrasound Sticky bean rewarded us with this cute Shot

Sucking his/her thumb.. how adorable!. you can see the tiny fingers <3.

As for MOMMY...i am doing "OK" the Dizzyness is still an issue BUT i can be grateful that my BP is too low ... Too high could be a risk for my little sweetheart!. TODAY my BP was FABULOUS { well for me anyways} 100 over 60!. They did more Bloodwork {honestly dont know what is tested this time lol} i did have a tiny bit blood in my urine but nothing to worry about!.
i was REALLY worried about stepping on the scale LOL. and i DID gain some weight!!!!!! 500gramms lol HEY i gained weight right?????? i am still 2.2 pounds below my Pre-preggo weight {which is totally fine with me} but NOW i really have to start watching what i eat lol!.
I scheduled my LAST Appointment with Dr. Kurtz *insert really sad face here* its on February 24th and T and i HOPE we will find out what we are having.

This is it for today!. I hope everyone has a FABULOUS week.

Week 13 of Pregnancy: Fetal Growth Rates



Your fetus is about three inches long and the size of a peach at 13 weeks pregnant. But don't compare your fetus with the fetus next door. Starting about now, babies begin growing at different paces, some faster than others, some more slowly, though they all follow the same developmental path. Growing at a universally breakneck speed now is your baby's body as it tries to catch up to the head in terms of size. Though your baby's head is about half the size of its body now, by the time your baby is ready to make his or her entrance into the world, the head will be only one-fourth as large as the body.
 
Your baby's intestines are also in for some big changes right now. Up till this point, they've been growing in a cavity inside the umbilical cord; but now they're moving to their permanent (and more conveniently located) address, in your baby's abdomen.  And to serve your growing baby's needs, the placenta is also growing.  It weighs about an ounce now and will weigh one to two pounds at birth (something else you'll soon be able to blame your weight gain on!).
Also developing this week: your baby's vocal chords. Because sound can't travel through your uterus (your baby's current habitat), you won't be able to hear any sounds or cries just yet, but oh boy (or girl) — those vocal chords will get a good workout once that baby is born.

None Pregnancy Related

I just recieved the BEST news since my BFP in December!. Like most of you already know, my husband came down on orders for Ft. Hood beginning of March. In order for me to PCS with him i have to have a Visa / Greencard!. He came back from his second Deployment end of October, and mid November we applied for my Visa at the Embassy in Frankfurt. We are now 38 days away from our PCS Date and i was worried SICK the last couple weeks because i havent recieved my final interview appointment!!I contacted the embassy on January 14th and they said the Petition is still pending so I started to put in paperwork with housing, that way i may stay here even after my husband left for Ft Hood, but it has not been approved so far!. But TODAY i recieved this email!.

Dear Mrs. Bxxxxxx:

Thank you for your email. An invitation letter for your final visa interview was mailed out yesterday and should be delivered within the next few working days. Attached to this email please find a copy of the letter.

Best regards,

Immigrant Visa Unit
US Consulate General
Frankfurt, Germany


You have NO Idea what this means to me! Its like a HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I spent one year without my Husband, i am High Risk Pregnant, with two kids, i have no idea how i would have managed all of this { clearing quaters, getting to frankfurt, flying to Ft hood} without my husband! ... Im a Military Wife i would have managed somehow but it would have been a PITA and i am grateful that i have my visa in time to start this journey together with my husband as a Family!

Blast from the past

Today i was kind of browsing my Pictures on FB, after a few of my friends comment on pics i uploaded a LONG time ago!. I came across this one. I was pregnant with hailey Marie


Bells sat next to me and asked me if i had any pictures of her, and i am ashamed to say that i hardly have any pics of me while i was pregnant with her!. Mostly because back in 2005 i couldnt afford a Digital camera ( or  have regular pics developed). Then i was only 19 years old, i didnt really care much for my growing belly 
{ eventhough i LOVED Bells from the minute i learned i was pregnant}. I never thought about keeping track of my pregnancy { such as belly pics, weight, or reading up things online} 

But after having a loss late November 07 and then Kaitlyn 08 things changed dramatically, ive never heard about a thing called neuraletube defect, before Kaitlyn, i had no idea what all could go wrong during pregnancy. Now, a Pregnancy is something really really precious to me, even more so then before simply BECAUSE i KNOW what all can go wrong! I Cherish every day im Pregnant! I take Pictures EVERY week, most ppl probably wont notice much of a idfference in weekly Pictures but i LOVE to see my belly grow. I read as much as possible about the changes my body & Baby goes through, not because i feel like i have to, but i WANT to know, i look forward to every monday, when my ticker picture changed {i know im weird lol}

NT Scan January 30th

I have my "NT Scan" On January 30th {This prenatal test (also called the NT or nuchal fold scan) can help your healthcare practitioner assess your baby's risk of having Down syndrome (DS) and some other chromosomal abnormalities as well as major congenital heart problems.The NT test uses ultrasound to measure the clear (translucent) space in the tissue at the back of your developing baby's neck. Babies with abnormalities tend to accumulate more fluid at the back of their neck during the first trimester, causing this clear space to be larger than average.} I am not too worried about my Baby having down Syndrom, but the OB/Gyn will also take a look at the Babies brain, and i think every mother, who had a baby with brain abnormalities, is scared of this scan!. Sticky beans head looked normal on the ultrassound so far, but there are different stages of "Anencephaly" some might have a "normal" developed Head / scull but the brain is not developed, or maybe it isnt Anencephaly, but something else that involes abnormalities of the Brain....... So i am terrified but happy at the same time. Happy because we get to see sticky bean again, terrified because we dont know the outcome of this scan. I have faith that our baby will be happy and healthy but there is this little nagging voice in the back of my head saying.... WHAT IF........

survey Time

i am a few minutes early (its almost 11:30pm over here) but i probably wont have time to blog tomorrow, so ill just post now :)

Food Cravings? None really, everything sound gross :(

Gender? No idea.

Belly Button In or Out? In.

What I am Looking Forward To? my NT scan on the 30th, but i am also super nervous :(


Nursery progress? Nothing

Your Baby in Week 12 of Pregnancy

 By now, your baby weighs a full half-ounce and is about the size of a large plum. Most of his systems are in place, though there's still plenty of maturing to do. For one thing, his fetal digestive system is beginning to practice contraction movements necessary for eating, and his bone marrow is busy making white blood cells — weapons against germs once he's out of your safe haven. The pituitary gland (at the base of the brain) has started producing the hormones that'll enable him (or her) to make babies of his (or her) own in a couple of decades or so. 

Breakfast suck....

... when you are Pregnant!. My little Family and i LOVE Breakfast, and every morning i make a Kick ass breakfast, because Breakfast is the most important meal of the day PLUS its SOOOOOO Delicious. We usually have:
Bacon, Eggs ( over easy) Toast with butter / ham & Pancakes
Since i have learned that i am pregnant, i stopped eating over easy eggs { potential exposure to salmonella* }
Bacon {because of the risk of contamination with coliform bacteria, toxoplasmosis**, and salmonella. }
 Deli meat { potential exposure to listeria***}
so my breakfast is SUPER boring :( i usually eat plain toast with some jam. I did try hardboiled eggs... BUT stickybean is not fond of hardboiled eggs... i would go as far as calling him/her a"hard boiled eggs hater" i got SO sick after eating one that i will NEVER ever be able to eat hardboiled eggs anymore... EVER.



I know most ppl will say "aaaah, i still eat my eggs over easy, im pretty sure nothing is gonna happen to my baby" and most of the time it HAS a good outcome, but WHY risk it right?

I can eat as many over easy eggs, Bacon and Deli meat as i want as soon as sticky bean is safe in my Arms :)



*Salmonella infection crosses the placenta and may produce severe disease and death in the fetus, even when maternal symptoms are mild. DONT eat anything containing Raw eggs

**when the mother gets infected between weeks 10-24 , the risk for severe problems in the newborn is about 5-6%. Effects on the baby include: premature birth, low birth weight, fever, jaundice, abnormalities of the retina, mental retardation, abnormal head size, convulsions, and brain calcification.
During the 3rd trimester, a fetus has an increased risk of becoming infected, but the risk of damage to the fetus is decreased since most of the important development has already occurred.

*** Listeria has the ability to cross the placenta and may infect the baby leading to infection or blood poisoning, which may be life-threatening. It can also cause miscarriage

My Daughters

I am a VERY blessed mommy, my daughters are incredible. They have been SUPER happy about mommy being pregnant again, especially my oldest, She constantly kisses and touches my belly, shes worried about what and how much i drink and eat, she comforted me yesterday because i was sick, and today she will come home right after school {SKIPPING her after school program that she loves so much} to "take care of me" since i am sick!. She is amazing!

My youngest is curious about mommys growing belly, and LOVES listening to Babys heartbeat!. Yesterday she took an Ultrasound picture of stickybean and stuck it down her Pj and then held her belly with a BIG smile on her face saying "baby tummy"



I took this picture Today she was touching my belly saying "baby mommy tummy" she of course doesnt get the whole " mommy is going to have a baby "soon" but i think she will be a AWESOME big sister once baby is here <3 I couldnt be more proud of my Kids

Week 11 of Pregnancy: Baby's Hair and Fingernails Develop

Slightly more than two inches long now and weighing about a third of an ounce, your fetus is growing by leaps and bounds when you are 11 weeks pregnant. And so is his or her head, which is equal in length to the rest of the body (don't worry — all fetuses are top-heavy).



On the crown of that large head (and over the rest of the body), hair follicles are forming. Fingernail and toenail beds begin to develop this week and by next week, the nails themselves will start to grow (so don't forget to add a baby nail clipper to your to-buy list).
Your baby's body is straightening and his or her torso is lengthening (sounds like a yoga pose, doesn't it?). Other poses your baby can assume now: stretches, somersaults, and forward rolls. And while you can't tell this baby's gender by its cover yet, testes are developing if it's a boy and ovaries if it's a girl.

DAMN YOU CRAVINGS....

i havent really had any cravings yet, but today was just ridiculous.
We were invited to my Friends little Girls 5th Birthday atour Local
bowling alley!. They had 4 different kinds of pizza {which i managed to eat a slice of plain cheese pizza without having to gag right after - yay me}, but i was craving cheese fries so hubby made his way over to the counter to order some for me, my preggo butt chased after him saying "WAIT, i might want something else" lol i was staring at the menu for what seemed like FOREVER {thank God the line was really long} and by the time it was our turn to place our order, i decided i HAD to have a hot dog { they usually boil the shit out of those hot dogs so i thought its safe for me to eat}
after HOURS of waiting { ok, ok it was more like 10 minutes, but how DARE they make ME, a preggo chick, wait that long lol J/K} hubby brought me my hot dog with a big smile on his face. i started to nibble on my cheese fries, staring at my hot dog {with a concerned look on my face i guess, because hubby raced to my side asking if i was ok} i looked at him and said " i guess im ok :( but i REALLY dont want that hot dog anymore :((((" it made me so sad, because we just "wasted" money on something i HAD to have but i didnt eat.... tom looked at me and said "its ok schatzi, then dont eat it :)" i swear i am so emotional that i just randomly feel like crying
A few minutes ago i told tom , MAN i am really craving some lasanga right now, and he replies "you want me to get you some" .... i replied " naaaw.... just wait a few minutes and the craving will go away". And sure enough it did lol.
it is funny how different this pregnancy is from my previous Pregnancies, i dont really crave anything sweet. I am all about meats and hearty foods!. Maybe this lil one really is a boy... who knows :)

Thats it for tonight i hope you all had a wonderful weekend

XOXO Jen & Stickybean

Baking soda test

being a SAHM gives me WAY too much time to google stuff or communicate with other fellow Pregnant Ladies!. In one of my "preggo chicks" FB groups they were discussing the "bakingSoda Test" its an old wives tale and and it says that you can predict the Gender of your Child.
Well OF COURSE i had to try it out lol. The test works as follows: you put bakingSoda in a Plastic cup, pee in a Second Plastic Cup. the  pour the urin into the cup with the Baking Soda and if it foams/fizz's its a Boy and if nothing happens its a Girl.
Mine Foamed like CRAZY lol so according to the BakingSoda test its supposed to be a boy, but like a said its an old wives tale, it was just a fun project to do to kill time!. but who knows maybe it was right ;) we will know in about 10 weeks ... well YOU will know sometimes in august ;)

Thats it for tonight

husband pregnant as well???

well i know its not possible for him to actually BE pregnant... but he sure EATS like a preggo chick!. He has been stuffing his face all day!he eats/ snacks CONSTANTLy... and tonight he had a pretty big dinner ( lasagna with a breadroll and cucumber salad) and not even 20 minutes later he ate TWO big plates of left over chinese food... RIGHT NOW he is sitting on the couch stuffing his face with popcorn and german "twizzlers"..  that man can EAT!. and he doesnt gain ONE POUND.... {so jealous}

me?! i dont have an appetite what so ever. i ate a small breakfast and then dinner. i dont snack / eat sweets as much as i did with the girls or even before i became pregnant. Which i dont mind at all, im pretty sure, once im out of the first trimester my appetite will be back { in full force}


EDIT: i think the reason why my husband eats so much is that now food {according to him} tastes SO much better since he quitt smoking last year { go hubby}

unplanned OB/GYN Visit

i wasnt due for another OB visit until the 30th of this month, but last night i was in so much pain that i couldnt do ANYHTING but lay on the couch / bed curled up in a ball!. and to make things worse i wasnt able to pick up sticky beans heartbeat all day. We thought about going to the LMRC but it was late already, and they would have kept me for hours i didnt want to do that to my kids. I thought as long as there is no bleeding im fine!. Then today i tried to pick up sticky beans heartbeat again, with no luck. I know that the fetal Doppler, at this stage of pregnancy, isnt always able to pick up the babys heartrate PLUS its implanted low AND i have a retroverted Uterus so i know i shouldnt freak out BUT with the pain i was experiencing i wanted to make sure sticky bean is OK.
I called my Doc and his assistant told me to come in right away.i had to give a urin sample they had me step on the scale {which is still going down} took my BP { which is WAY low with 85/55} Dr told me to take Iron, Magnesium and fiber. Last but not least we got to see stickybean with a beautiful Heartbeat!.



its amazing how FAST they grow!.

What the baby's up to this week:


Week 10 of Pregnancy: Baby's Bones Develop

Your baby's nearly an inch and a half long and the size of a prune, but not nearly as shriveled. In fact, your baby is really taking a human shape now. Though your baby's arms are developing, each one is only about the size of this number 1.



Your baby's growth is fast and furious when you are 10 weeks pregnant. He or she is nearly an inch and a half long and the size of a prune, but not nearly as shriveled (even with all the time it spends in water). In fact, your baby is really taking a human shape now. Bones and cartilage are forming, and small indentations on the legs are developing into knees and ankles. The arms (complete with elbows) can flex already, but don't run to the store for a baseball bat just yet. Though your baby's arms are taking shape and getting stronger, each one is only about the size of this number 1.

The tooth bud fairy is making her appearance this week, heralding the arrival of your baby's little choppers, which are forming under the gums. (Those pearly whites won't break through the gums until your baby is close to six months old). Other systems are go, too. Your baby's stomach is producing digestive juices, the kidneys are producing larger quantities of urine, and, if your baby's a boy, he's already producing testosterone (yikes!).

Mommy is no fun anymore

Today we took the kids to yabadoo they had a BLAST. But i almost DIED after "running" around with the kiddos for only 5 minutes! I felt like my heart is about to pop out of my chest, i got dizzy and crampy. I also started to "bleed" a lil more then usual!. so i sat down for the rest of the day not doing ANYTHING. We are home now, hubby gave the Girls a bath and i am about to take one myself!. We tried to Pick up sticky beans heartbeat as soon as we got home, with no luck, i will OF COURSE try again later on tonight once the girls are asleep!.

I swear i feel like 8 months pregnant already :( I hope that once the hematoma is gone and i am out of the first Trimester that i will be able to do more, i feel Guilty because i cant do much with my Daughters. I am just really happy that hubby is home & able to play with the Girls.

I really dont know how i will be able to "rest" and "relax" with all the things that still HAVE to be done!. I know my limits and i slow down/stop before i get all dizzy / exhausted.  Luckily we dont have to pack ONE THING for this upcoming move!.

What the baby's up to this week: Your Baby in Week 9 of Pregnancy


Your baby, now the size of a green olive, has grown about an inch since last week. Tiny muscles are beginning to form, so while he might not be ready to pump iron, he's gearing up to move his arms and legs. It's still too soon to feel anything in your belly, but you might be able to hear something at your next checkup. Try listening for your baby's heartbeat via a Doppler device — that welcome sound should be audible anytime now.

8 week Baby visit

i JUST got back from my "Baby visit" and i am STOKED to say things start to look good for us!. The baby is still very very low, but its right above my Cervix Canal with is GOOD { if the baby would be in my cervix canal it wouldnt have room to grow and i would have had to terminate the pregnancy} The babys grpwth is right on target { sticky bean is 1.84cm } and his/her heart was beating away!. There is still ALOT of blood in my uterus but the Doc said as the baby grows it will push the blood out of my uterus!. Another improvement is i went from visits every two weeks to every FOUR weeks which is AWESOME, because it means sticky bean is doing GREAT!. The Dr also saw sticky bean MOVING :D i missed it {booohoo}



ALSO!!!!!!!... it looks like we will be leaving this year :D the Dr gave me to ok to fly {wooohooo} however tom will request to extend his Deros for 3 months that way i have enough time to get my visa stuff done and out of the way and we have enough time to outprocess!. The Dr said Flying is as "risky" as driving long distant.

I couldnt be happier <3
