Officially in my 2nd trimester!!

As of March 29th I am in my 2nd trimester.

Have 6 months to go!!! Hitting the 2nd trimester is such a great feeling. Alot of the fears of miscarriage go away as the chances now are a lot lower.

We are super excited!!

We get to find out in May if its a boy or a girl.

If its a boy his name will be Joseph James Edeburn, after James' uncle that passed away quite a few years back. His name was Joseph Dean, I talked James into putting his name as the middle name.

If it is a girl her name will be Jaelyn Rose Edeburn. We like Jaelyn because its kinda both of our names put together.

1st trimester screening

Went in for our first trimester screening. Basically they do a ultrasound and measure back behind the spine, it is proven that babies born with downs syndrom have more fluid there.

James and I decided we would do this test since there is no harm to the baby, and even if it came back with probabilities of downs we would not terminate. We would love our baby no matter what.

James, my mom and I went for the ultrasound. They have the ultrasound project on a tv now besides the screen the doctor looks at. James was so cute, he was right by that screen looking at the baby.

It actually looks like a baby now. The tech said the measurements were great, just have to do blood work.

We got two pictures of the baby. We were so happy!

Mommy and Daddys 6 year anniversary

Wow.. six years together now.

James and I met a little over six years ago, we were friends for about 7 months before we started dating. It wasnt supposed to be anything serious to start out... but once we really started hanging out we never stopped.

Now six years later we are expecting our first baby.

2nd doctors appointment

Went in for the second doctors appointment. Was stressed out because I had lost all of the syptoms that I did have. Although I never threw up I would get a upset stomach after eating, I had sore boobs, and a few other syptoms and after the last trip to the ER I lost those.

I was very worried. But after just searching for a few seconds I heard my babies heartbeat, I cried. It was the most amazing sound I have ever heard.

Another trip to the ER

I woke up early March 1st and had to pee so bad, which is a normal thing now. I went to the restroom and when I wipped my worst fear ever came true, I was bleeding.

I instantly went and woke up James and told him we had to go to the ER. I wanted to take a shower as I figured they would be doing a pelvic exam, so I told him to take the dog out and get ready. I woke up my mom and told her what was going on.

We went into the ER and they didn't seem busy. But it took a while before they even got me into triage, and thats where they told me something pretty serious was going on and taking up the doctors time so they would get be back ASAP.

I didn't have to wait to long, but longer then I wanted to. I was stressing so bad, James was telling me to calm down and the more I stressed the worse it would make it. Finally I got taken back and a very handsom doctor came into the room and told me strip down and put on the gown. I was taking my time, and not even a minute later he was back in the room with a ultrasound machine. He spent a while trying to find the baby, I was stressing so bad. He couldn't find the baby. So he said he was going to get the doppler machine and said they should be able to hear the heart beat, but that since I wasn't too far along and the baby is still so small he may not be able to. But I took that as something that a doctor will tell anyone when they are having problems finding their baby.

He was not able to find the heart beat with the doppler. So he said he was going to get a transvaginal ultrasound done for me. He walked out of the room, and I broke down. My mom and James tried to tell me that it was just cause the baby was so small. But that didn't matter, it still freaked me out. We went back for the other ultrasound and this time I said I wanted James and my mom to come.

Shortly after probbing me, they found the baby. I was so happy, you could see its little heart beating and everything. I was so releived I started to tear up. My little gummy bear as the ultrasound tech called it was looking good, and again measured past what they had thought last time.

Come to find out there is blood around my placenta. No clue why, or anything, but they said it wont harm the baby. I wasn't able to get a picture this time, didn't even ask for one. Was just happy to see my healthy little baby.
