Our 12 Week Appointment

Well, I just got back from my 12 week appointment and it seems that your due date is set for March 14th. I think it's funny because that's a Friday. Joey's due date of June 9th was a Friday, and he was born on Friday the 2nd! Also, you're going to be very lucky because week 14 is on September 14th, and week 19 is October 19th! We got to hear your heartbeat today also. It was in the 160's! That's high end, but still great. Joey even liked hearing it.


We are going to tell the grandparents about you on Sunday, September 9th...Grandparents Day! Grandma and Grandpa DePrisco are taking Great Grandpa back to Florida, so hopefully they come home in time for the suprise!!! We're thinking that we'll have everyone over for dinner here to celebrate with Joey. Then when they get here Joey will have his Big Brother T-Shirt on that I designed. Here are the graphics for it...

So far this pregnancy has felt different from last time. I still have "night sickness" but it's starting to go away. I've had heartburn and stomach pain this time too. (they say heartburn means your baby will have a lot of hair...which could be true since Joey didn't have any!) Things may be differnt since I'm home this time and last pregnancy I was working. Things are good overall and we all can't wait for our new baby in March!!!

Our First Doctor's Appointment

On July 31st. we had our first doctor's appointment. We were excited to see your little heart beat on the ultrasound monitor. Now it's official...you're on the way!!! Doctor Chung said that by your measurements you are 7 weeks 4 days old, not 10 weeks like we had thought. The heartbeat looks good and I'm healthy, so we're right on track. I guess we'll just have to wait 2 weeks longer for your arrival. I forgot to ask what the due date would be. Joey was entertaining the crowd and I was pretty distracted during the appointment. I counted the days and I think that you should be here some time around the middle of March! I can't wait to tell everyone the good news, but we just have to keep it a secret for a couple more months! I've still been pretty nausious during this pregnancay so Dr. Chung recommended a new prenatal vitamin that contains more vitamin B to help with that. She also suggested eating Ginger Snaps since ginger helps with the nausia as well. We'll see what happens!


Here's the first tummy shot. I had pretty much lost all of the belly from baby Joey, and I think that I'm starting to get a little bit of a tummy again. Hopefully no one notices and they just think I have leftover belly from Joey!



That's about it for now!
