12 Weeks

 

 

Week 12 has finally arrived!  These last four weeks have seemed like they were never ending.  I am starting to notice a slight belly bump compared to my Week 8 Picture seen below.  I have not started wearing any pregnancy clothes yet.  However, within the next week or two I am going to have to give in.

 

 

We had a doctor appointment this afternoon and every looks great!  We finally got to hear the heartbeat for the first time which was really exciting.

161 BPM...which is a good strong heartbeat!!



Brand New Here

 

This is my first official blog post!  How exciting!  Dave and I have been together a total of just over 12 years and married for 7 of those.  We are embarking on a whole new chapter in our lives that will include a new member of our family - LITTLE BABY NIETERS!!

 

We found out I was pregnant on February 25, 2013!  I just couldn't believe the first home pregnancy test so I took a total of four...crazy I know.



Then came the waiting game until the first ultrasound at 8 weeks which was scheduled for Monday, March 25, 2013, our 7th wedding anniversary.  The day before we got a huge snow storm of 12 or so inches.  Our appointment was for 8am and we got up extra early to make sure we could get out of the driveway and to the doctor on time.  We arrived early for the appointment and no one was there...we figured we must have had the appointment time wrong...so we waited...and waited.  Come to find out they called my cell phone the night before and left a message saying that my appointment had been cancelled and the office wasn't opening until 10am that day.  My voicemail box was full so I never got the message...what a loser!  Long story short, we went out for breakfast and they squeezed us in at 11:00.  Little Baby Nieters looks like a little bean in the picture but he/she is cute already!! 

 

This is how we told our close friends and family by sending them this picture in the mail!  I found this idea on Pinterest!

 

I will be twelve weeks on Monday and just about through my first trimester!  Super excited about that!!!  I have been extremely tired over the last two months but I am hoping to round that corner here shortly and get my energy back.  I am not very hungry and food most of the time just doesn't sound good.  Most recently I have been experiencing extreme lower back pain...to the point that it takes my breath away sometimes.  I started going back to my chiropracter this week and I am noticing a difference already. Other than that I have been doing fine and have not puked...thank GOD!!

 

I have created this Blog to follow Little Baby Nieters milestones and progress for the next several months!  Our due date in November 4, 2013!!
