I made it to the 2nd trimester!! I was never really sure exactly when it started since different books say different things, but no matter what, I should be in 2nd trimester now. I'm still nauseous and throwing up a bit, but I do think it might be getting better. My weight is still holding at 130, but I suspect that will be short lived. I'm excited to be close to showing and being able to feel the baby kick - I so can't wait.
We had our Nuchal Scan last week and everything turned out great. We got to see our little one again and that was a treat. It was moving quite a bit and even turned upside down on us. The Down Syndrome odds are 1 in 10,000+ and whatever is worse than Downs has the same odds. That was a relief. I shouldn't have been worrying, but now I have peace of mind.
I'm turning 35 in 11 days! I can't believe I'll be 35 when I have this baby. My goal was to have my first child at 25...I'm 10 years off! That is so crazy to me. Oh well, I'm in a better place now and I have the man of my dreams. Not to mention, I got to do a ton of traveling in the last 10 years. :)

So excited to read this update! Congrats on being in the 2nd trimester now! I too planned to have a baby by 25 but now I'll be at least 34 when I have my first...I agree, I'm in a much better place now in my 30s.

ReplyDeleteCongrats to making it to your Second Trimester! feels like such a Goal well reached!
ReplyDeleteI also just got into my second trimester and went through IVF to achieve my pregnancy. We achieved a pregnancy of triplets but 1 lost a heartbeat so now we are having twins!! I'm Glad I came across Your Blog today :) New pregnant buddy I suppose!! I am also 35 y/o.
Wow, congrats! I am 7 weeks along in my IVF pregnancy and have my first ultrasound tomorrow to find out if we're having one or two. I also did acupuncture and am convinced it made all the difference this round. I am continuing acupuncture throughout the first trimester.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you, and thanks for writing this blog.
Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI hope it must be a nice experience of having a test tube baby.
