12 weeks

I made it to 12 weeks and graduated from weekly HFI visits! Even though this was a natural pregnancy, it was nice to be monitored weekly and make sure my hormones were what they needed to be. And weekly ultrasounds to see and hear my baby’s heartbeat was the best!

I had some spotting a few days ago, but was told not to worry as the cervix is very sensitive and miscarrying at this point is rare and if so, I would bleed enough to be hospitalized. 

Still no gender results! Natera took too long to process my blood and I needed a redraw yesterday. I was beyond annoyed. I called customer service several times last week as I knew it was taking too long and from reading in several online groups, the women that needed redraws was when Natera took too long to process lab results. Also, I went to Sneak Peak for next day gender results, but yesterday was President’s Day and the holiday delayed results another day. Grrrr. I just want to know pink or blue and announce my pregnancy!!

10 weeks

Weekly ultrasound today showed a gummie bear baby just dancing her heart out! Strong, beautiful heartbeat on the monitor. I only have two more visits with at HFI. I am grateful Dr Yeh has been monitoring my spontaneous pregnancy weekly since I found out.

I finally felt some relief from the near constant exhaustion I have felt since taking a pregnancy test. The last five weeks, I have felt like a lazy mom as I just can't muster up the energy to do as much with Matheson that I used to do.

I told Tristan today. The tween years have been testing my patience and I need him to understand that he needs to step up.

3 kids. Am I really capable of this?

We plan on announcing our pregnancy on social media on Valentine's Day. February has so much meaning to us. Our Transveranniversary is 2/9 and our dating anniversary is 2/28. Along with Valentine's Day, it's just a month filled with love.
