I'm not fat, I'm pregnant

i feel like i'm showing (13w5d). and although i don't need the maternity pants yet, I think a shirt may be flattering at this point. I had Justin bring down my box of maternity clothes from the attic today and I just might pack a few pieces for Portland. I have felt Baby C move a little and can't wait to feel more. I bought some regular strength tylenol and i packed my sea-bands for the flight tomorrow so we don't get sick. I hope Baby C is as good of a traveler as Delaney is - because we are going places!!!
Our next OB appt is 11/15 (right after Delaney's 3 year appt at the pediatrician). She will be napping with Aunt Jenny while we go.
Our anatomy scan will be the following week 11/22 at our perinatal appt.
AND...only 100 days til groundhog day!

We've been shot!

Baby C and I got our flu shot today. I really love thinking of this baby when I do things like this. Now we'll both be protected - just like Delaney was when she was born. I've been really hungry these last two days - I think Baby C must be growing a lot! I can't wait to see him/her again!

Baby C is beautiful! (of course)

I think i'm going to start calling him/her Baby C since Baby A was Delaney Baby B was Lillian. It just seems weird to call this Baby "Baby Davis" since that's been done before.
We saw the most wonderful images of our baby today. Moving and wiggling, but in the words of the sonographer "being very cooperative." i hope that Baby C stays this way for big sister Delaney!
i also love love love my perinatal doctor. Dr. Rhee is so great. She gets me and she said that she thinks we think about things in a similar way. I'll be seeing her for more of my (in her words) "mental, rather than physical health". since they don't know what triggered my extremely rare medical event they'll just be monitoring me for everything under the sun just in case.
it was difficult but good to talk to her about Lillian. Dr. Rhee called her Lillian by name from the start and I was so warmed by that. she re-assured me that there was nothing i could have done and that we should be thankful that I still have my life. She also said I should see my therapist more. I've been putting it off, but i will follow doctor's orders/.
we'll be seeing her again in 5 weeks and then every two weeks after that.
i'll post pictures when i can. Baby C is amazing!

ok lots has happened (12 weeks)

so we went to our first actual doctor's appointment today. not just running in for an ultrasound and avoiding all questions,etc. Dr. Richardson was great (as usual) and things with the baby are going just as they should. the heartbeat was SO STRONG! i don't remember hearing one so loud or the doctor being able to find it quite so easily. i hope this is a sign of things to come. i started on a low dose of zoloft, which should help me be happier/calmer or at least help me get a good nights sleep. we're going to a perinatalogist at duke on monday for a detailed ultrasound. while i can't wait to see this baby (at least on screen) i am not looking forward to what is surely to be a long interview about my medical history. justin will be there with me and hopefully everything go as painlessly as possible.

you know you're pregnant when you spend 10 minutes staring at the vending machine thinking "what can i get that won't make me vomit?" (i chose trail mix and baby is happy with it)

i feel good (11 weeks)

i'm feeling good. i'm not nearly as bloated feeling as i was earlier (between 6 and 9 weeks) and i'm not tired during the workday. i had my myhealthybaby (labcorp's health support system)phone interview today and i think it went well. of course they're worried about me and they'll be checking in with me every 4 weeks, but i have the same nurse as i had with Lillian and that really helps. Her name's Barb and she's sweet and funny. I'm glad I like her, because I'll be talking to her a lot (up to 6 weeks post-partum). I've let my mind wander about baby names lately and I think i might be close to a decision. We'll get to see him/her through ultrasound on monday and i think i will really get happy then because baby will show up as more than a little blob (with a very strong heartbeat!)
