Week 11 baby #5

September 6th- September 12th
11 weeks with Trent
11 weeks with Rose

At 11 weeks the baby is the size of a lime.

Weight gain/loss: 95.2lbs down one pound since the start of this pregnancy. I feel like I was showing a little with Trent and Rose at this point. Despite weighing pretty much the same I can honestly say there is NO bump... yet!

This week, I cut a few inches off my hair! I was so excited to take sometime for myself because this haircut was long overdue. I also turned 28 on September 7th! A big thank you to my family for making it an extra special day.

Symptoms: Still vivid dreams, fatigue and all day nausea. I have big waves of nausea throughout the day.  Luckily, it usually isn't bad enough to make me physically get sick, only enough to make me feel like all food is disgusting. I noticed that if I eat too much I feel sick or if it has been too long since I have eaten I feel sick. New this week is that I feel out of breath easily. For example, once I get to the top of the stairs I have to take a deep breath in as if I just ran a bunch.

Home doppler: I noticed over this past week the heartbeat has slowed down some. It was ranging upper 170's to low 180's occasionally high 180's now it is high 160's. I am actually glad to see it in more of a normal range because over our vacation it got up to 195bpm!


Here is our little blessing at 11 weeks heart rate was 173bpm:

NT Scan: Our NT scan has been moved up to this Friday! I will be 12 weeks 1 day.

Have a great week!

Week 10 baby #5

August 30th- September 5th

10 weeks with Trent
10 weeks with Rose

At 10 weeks the baby is the size of strawberry!

Weight gain/loss- 94.8lbs so down a little from last week. We had an amazing time at Disney World, but the heat and humidity made my nausea worse. It was hard pushing a stroller all around the park and we had trouble finding more than hot dogs, popcorn, fries and frozen lemonades.

Symptoms: Vivid dreams, waves of nausea, fatigue and waking up to use the bathroom then feeling too sick to fall back asleep. 

We had an ultrasound at 10 weeks 1 day and everything looked great! We were able to see our little ones arms and legs moving around. Their heart was beating away at 178 bpm (exactly what Rose was at 10 weeks and close to Trent at 180 bpm!) Next ultrasound will be at 12 weeks 5 days for my NT scan. 

Week 9 baby #5

Week 9: August 23-August 29

This week the baby is a size of green olive.

Weight gain/loss- 95.2lbs this week so down a little from last week. I still haven't been actually throwing up, but I have waves of intense nausea throughout the day. I especially feel sick if its been too long since I have eaten.

Symptoms: Vivid dreams, waves of nausea, fatigue and waking up to use the bathroom then feeling too sick to fall back asleep. 

I found the baby's heartbeat on my at home doppler this past weekend (8 weeks 3 days!) I literally started crying when I heard it because I was about to give up looking and then there it was!! Ranging 176-181 bpm

We are leaving for Disney World this Saturday! I would be lying if I said I am not scared of the 13+ hour drive with my nausea.

Week 8 baby #5

I did not take a picture this week. The past few mornings have been rough with my nausea it comes in waves. Luckily, it is not bad enough to physical get sick, but enough to make me feel horrible and like I can't do anything. We did see our sweet baby another time this week their heart was beating away at 178bpm.

Week 8: August 16-August 22

This week the baby is a size of a raspberry. 

Weight gain/loss: 95.6lbs no weight gain

Symptoms: Weird vivid dreams, waves nausea in the morning, exhaustion, bad taste in my mouth in the morning.

We are getting some family pictures taken next week as well as our announcement picture. I am not sure exactly what we will do, but I have a few ideas. 

Week 7 baby #5

August 9- August 15

Last week at 6 weeks 1 day I had an ultrasound which showed our little baby and their little heartbeating strong. Since I am high risk I have a lot of ultrasounds and I had another one at 7 weeks 1 day. Our little baby grew so much and doubled in size in that one week! The baby's beats per minute went up from 110bpm to 145bpm which is less than what Trent and Rose's bpm were I believe they were 150-153 at this time, but pretty close! I am scheduled to have another scan at 8 weeks too! I honestly don't mind them one bit since I am having very mild symptoms this time around I love the reassurance of the ultrasounds. 

This week the baby is the size of a blueberry.

Weight gain/loss: 96.0 nothing yet.

Symptoms this week include: Vivid dreams, waking up to use the bathroom, emotional (randomly crying), fatigue, no appetite, no real morning sickness just nothing sounds good and I have a few waves of nausea throughout the day. No bleeding gums which is something I had with all the boys, but not with Rose. 

I am looking forward to announcing! It seems that a lot of woman are announcing their pregnancies so early now. I have been seeing a lot of "due in March" announcements which is exciting! We are due March 28th! 

During the ultrasound our little cutie looked like he/she was waving at us! Their whole body looked like a heartbeat words can't really describe it, but it was adorable. As soon as the tech handed me this ultrasound I said all I see is a rubber duck haha! But really... does anyone else see it? 

Week 6 baby #5

August 2nd-August 8th

To be honest, I didn't want to take a picture this week. I didn't feel pregnant! By six weeks with Rose and Trent I felt so nauseous. With this pregnancy my only symptoms this week are fatigue, vivid dreams, weird taste in my mouth, but zero nausea. I figured something has to be wrong! Luckily, the day after this picture was taken (at six weeks and one day) we were able to go in for an early ultrasound and see our sweet little baby with their strong heart flickering away on the screen all my worries left and I felt like for the first time in in weeks I was able to take a deep breath out! 

Size of the Baby: This week the baby is the size of a sweet pea. 

Weight Gain/Loss: I weigh exactly the same as last week 96.3lbs 

Symptoms: As I said above I am not having many symptoms this week. Which many people would say I should feel lucky I am not having morning sickness, but when it is so early on in pregnancy it is nice to have the reassurance. My doctor reminded me every pregnancy is different and there is no reason to be concerned everything looks great! Matt also mentioned I wasn't sick with Landon until 8 weeks (I didn't even know I was pregnant yet!) It is still early and the nausea could come on at anytime. 

What I am looking forward to: My next ultrasound on August 10th!
