3 month Check Up

Well yesterday Neal & I had our 3 month check up with Dr. Rudat! First of all I wasnt sure what we were going to be doing at our check up...all I knew is that I desperately wanted to hear the babies heartbeat. So our appt was at 1 pm....as most dr offices are, they are always running late! W finally got in around 1:10....they checked my weight which was 130.8pds. Then the nurse said Dr. Rudat would be in so pls take off everything from the waist down. Well she left & I all of a sudden had to use the restrooms...so I quickly left & did the deed. Well about 10min went by & Dr. Rudat finally came in. He asked how I was feeling & I told him great besides the part of being nervous to whether I would hear the heartbeat or not. So he put the SUPER COLD gel on my lower tummy & took his handy dandy heartbeat detector and started to look. When he first put it on there I didnt hear anything & then BAM I heard this amazing sound....OUR BABIES HEARTBEAT!!!! At first I was in shock that the noise was coming from my tummy but second I was just smiling from ear to ear! Dr. Rudat told me that an average baby heartbeats between 120 to 160.....158 heartbeats per minute for Baby Hummel! This lil' guy or girl is very active :) Afterwards I asked Dr. Rudat when would be able to see the baby & he said in about 8 wks. That seems so long to me but I guess good things come to the those who wait so I guess I will keep waiting. So our next appt is set for Oct 4th @ 930. Not sure when he will do but I'm guessing we will hear the babies heartbeat again....so I'm excited for that!

3 months PREGNANT!!!!

Well we finally made it to 12 wks!!!! We feel very blessed to be pregnant, since we know it is 1 in a billion chance to conceive. So I have notice that my breast don't hurt as much as they did in the beginning, but they still do hurt. I have been sleeping more & more...taking lots of naps after work. Well who am I kidding I just go to bed on the couch at 630 or 7 every night & then get up several times to use the bathroom and then I go to bed with Neal and then get up at least 1 or 2 times before actually getting up for work. On the weekends I seem to need a nap around 12ish or so....and they last anywhere from 30 min to 2hrs. Making a baby is a lot of work...at least that is what I've heard! I still use the bathroom several times each day. My back is starting to ache more, my head gets alot of headaches....but I try to use the minimal of drugs as possibly. I feel the need to spit more since I got pregnant since all the excess saliva. I still get queasy thinking about certain foods, but I don't get it as often. My clothes feel a lil' bit tighter but I prefer to where maternity clothes because of the excess room! As we mark the 12th wk of our pregnancy.....we edge closer to my next Dr. appointment. Sept 6th we have our next check up at 1 in the afternoon! So we are...well mostly me are anticipating hearing the heartbeat so we know baby is doing well!!! And with any luck we will be able to see him or her :)
