A Baby's Chronicle

If you made it here, it's because you know the news. But to make it completely clear, yes we're expecting. After five years of been a couple, we decided it was time to expand the family. Like a lot of you may imagine, this was a product of our last trip to Europe, but that was our plan since the beginning.

12 weeks


There has been a few changes this month. The nausea has gotten better in the last 2 weeks, between taking more vitamins (B-1 and B-6, thanks to Madeline), not driving my car (no complains from me), and finishing the first trimester. At least never went more than the nausea. The morning problems weren't the nausea, ,but the hair and the clothes. Although, we haven't gain too much weight (including me), the clothes have decided not to give us any more pounds. And after a few unsuccessful trips to the mall, finally Gap Maternity save the day. The clothes look the same and are the same size. Last Monday, we graduate to the Maternity clothes and Tuesday morning was already better after trying new clothes and having the hair done at the salon. Today was our second Ob visit. I think women should be weighted after the appointment with the doctor. Nobody cares how much weight their gain after hearing/seeing the baby, you only want to go out and talk to everybody about it. Where is the suggestion box? This time was another lady doctor, this group think is better if you see everybody so a "new doctor" is not the one delivering your baby. After the urine sample and waiting for the MD, she came said all the previous labs where Ok and we have the same blood type. She warned us about that the doppler is not as accurate due that we are still early in the pregnancy, but that felt in deaf ears. After a minute of agony without finding the heartbeat (scary!!), she did an ultrasound. Let me tell you, that was awesome. We watched the baby move around, wave us and all his parts, except the sex because is too early. That was very fullfilling. Below are the pictures and Thanks for "coming"
