Bad news. Good news.
The bad news is, we couldn’t hear the baby’s heartbeat. 🙁
The good news is, the baby won’t stop moving around. 🙂
Gotcha! 😉
Scroll down to see pictures of our lil’ peanut. He (yeah, I think he’s going to be a boy) is due on February 12, 2007, which makes me a whoopin’ 12 weeks. We had our second sonogram today and he was hiccupping like crazy. He couldn’t stop moving for us to hear his heartbeat. All we could hear was him moving around. I think he’s teasing us. hehe. I’m getting nervous that he’s going to be a super-active baby. We won’t get to find out if it’s definitely a boy or girl until around September.
If anyone’s wondering, I’m doing okay so far. I’m surviving. Of course I’m not enjoying my 1st Trimester symptoms: Sore chest, nausea, loss of appetite (especially for things I used to really crave, with the exception of french fries), headaches, bloating & gas, constipation, and frequent peeing. Luckily I haven’t thrown up. So I think I’m doing pretty good. 🙂 Ether’s doing fine too, although I boss him around every now and then. But it’s justified because he’s not the one who will have to carry a watermelon for several months!
And don’t forget to post a comment please, if you’re reading this! 😀
hello gassy melanie!
it’s good you’re well! ether told me you still like french fries and chicken nuggets… do you still like beto’s, salt & vingear chips?
I think baby will be a girl! i think baby will be a mini melanie!
Alex and I are so happy to hear the good news of the new life that is going to come to you two. Congratulations! You two will be such good parents. We are proud of your two and love you!
I don’t think I’ve actually congratulated you two yet… so CONGRATULATIONS! Remember to put lotion or baby oil on your tummy every night, Mel. You don’t want to see how bad my stretch marks are. Don’t worry, by the 3rd trimester you be piggin’ out. Check out http://www.babycenter.com if you haven’t yet. It’s a great site with lots of useful info. Ether, from now on Mel’s the Queen and you’re the subserviet servant. ^_^ I loved being pregnant despite feeling all weird all the time. It’s well worth it.
I really like this website which allows me to feel the change and happiness in your new family. I think it will be a baby boy this time. Congratulations! Have you guys thought of a name for the baby yet? I am so excited to see the new baby soon. By the way, nice pictures of Brother Lee’s wedding huh.
Congratulations!!! I am very very happy to see the little one since I have been thinking of you guys since I last saw you. I can’t wait til September to begin “baby shopping”. ahah. Will pray for guys!!!!
Haha…you get to feel all the things I’ve felt for the past 8 1/2 months! Don’t worry, you’re not as lucky as me having to do so much testing because you’re in better health than me.
I guess our boys will have fun being so close to age with each other…if we ever get to see you often! I know you’re having a boy…you like to eat french fries and burgers just like I did in my first trimester. If it’s a girl…that’s okay too!
Keep eating your vegetables, fruit and drink plenty of water…regardless of how annoyed you are about going to the bathroom every 30 minutes. It’s good for the baby and you.
Oh and do name it “Dumpling”. I think that would be hilarious!
Hey guys!! Sorry I couldn’t make it out to the wedding, obviously. Congratulations anyway, the pics are adorable. Mel, you look ravishing!! Looks like you had a nice wedding. And I had no idea you were pregnant!! Me too, only I’m due this month (August) probably. I’ve been very miserable this summer, but I can definetely say I don’t envy you. The first trimester is miserable for me, but you seem in good spirits, as usual. Anyhow, take care and write sometime!!
Love, Maria
Congratulations! Mel, funny how a year ago, I was the one who just found out I was pregnant in NY. So exciting! Eat well, rest well, and happy baby planning.
