14 weeks

Well, It's been a rather eventful week.

On Sunday I started to feel a pain in my right side, about two inches below my belly button and six inches (or so) to the right. It was not the funnest pain ever but I ignored it. On Monday the pain was still there so I called my ob/gyn and they said to make an appointment. I ended up having Megan take me to the appointment because Nathan has school and my car was pretending to be getting fixed. So we get in the room and wait. Finally the Nurse Practitioner comes in and after poking around for a little bit checks for the heartbeat. She had a little bit of a hard time finding it until I told her where I usually find it (thank you doppler! :D ) She said that there was a possibility that my pain was from my appendix, but since I wasn't experiencing most of appendicitis symptoms (fever, chills, and severe nausea) she suggested that maybe it was an ovarian cyst and that she thought we should do an ultrasound. I was kindof excited!

My first ultrasound!

Boo to the possible cyst, but yay baby! Well we had to wait a little bit so I called Nathan to keep him updated. When he heard that I was going to have an ultrasound he called his brother to come bring him over to the ob/gyn since his scooter was with the other brother. But then they called my name and so I had Megan call Nathan and tell him it was too late. Sniff sniff. But it was good. The baby was measuring a few days ahead of schedule (YAY!) and they couldn't find any cysts. So basically they told me that if I got any of the appendicitis symptoms to head over to the ER, but all I could do was wait. The pain isn't really there now, so it must have been a fluke. But at least I got an ultrasound out of all this!

How cute!!! Looks like a boy! Right?

The heartbeat was 155.

My other excitingness is that I bought a cradle. Thanks to my friend Pam who had a friend who was selling it. My plan is to strip the paint and then stain it to whatever color the rest of the furniture ends up being. Maybe. We will use the cradle mostly before we move to wherever Nathan gets a job (hopefully at the end of April. Please, please, please!)

I have no idea why it looks crooked...hum.

Inside. Cute, right?

And last but not least, my 14 weeks picture:
Cool things about baby this week according to What to Expect When You're Expecting:

Now the size of your clenched fist, your baby is more fluid-like in his movements, so he’s no longer doing the jerk every time he repositions his arms and legs. Other developments this week include a roof of his own (inside his mouth, that is) as well as intestinal activity: His intestines are producing meconium (which is the waste that will make up his first bowel movement after birth). He is also sporting a downy coating of hair (lanugo) that keeps him nice and warm. Not to worry — you won't give birth to a monkey; baby fat will accumulate over the next few months and take over the function of keeping your baby warm and toasty —allowing most of that hair to shed.

Hooray baby!
