13 Weeks Tomorrow

I'm trying to catch up to the blog now that I have announced! Here was our Facebook announcement.
Of course it had some great words to go with it too. Everyone was super excited. So to let you guys know how I've been feeling. Oh boy.... From the end of week 5 to about the beginning of this week, I was SOOOO nauseous. I NEVER threw up, but I definitely had some dry heaving in my trash can at work a couple times haha. The worst thing has been acid reflux/heartburn. I have never had it before and it has hit me bad. My OB said it was just going to get worse. Ugh Great.... My food aversions have been crazy. I basically don't want meat... especially chicken. I HATE chicken. I have been okay with meatloaf and all I want is potatoes and veggies. No cravings for anything sweet except chocolate milk, which I have been drinking since the coffee makes me acids awful.
 
We just had our NT Scan on 10/28. We went back and forth on whether or not to do this, but figured we get an ultrasound out of it. We are SO glad we did. My mother-in-law got to come and see it too, which is great since she lives out of state. She and my father-in-law are here helping us with our crazy yard and starting to finish the basement. Our hopes are to have it done by May when the baby gets here. Here is our little baby sucking his/her thumb.
 
He/She was SOOOO active. Jumping and waving with the left hand. It was just the best thing to see. Especially since the baby has just looked like a blob lately. The heart rate was 150 this time. It was 160 about a week ago and then 170 a few weeks before that. The next time we get to see the baby is November 21st. That's when we are finding out the gender! So excited.
 
The wife and I get to go to Vegas in 9 days! It will be a good baby moon/anniversary trip. I have a conference to go to for work so everything is pretty much paid for besides Jaci's flight. We needed a trip!
 
Well, until next time, who has gender guesses???
