Pregnancy - 15 Weeks

"Baby Greenwall"

Very Soon we will have the baby's name posted on our pictures! We had another sonogram today and the Dr. made an "unofficial" prediction......boy or girl? We have an idea but will wait to
reveal the results until we know for sure. (and no, I'm not telling anyone...not even Rachel!) Should be at our next appointment in 3 weeks! We will go for the fetal survey ultrasound @ 18 weeks where they look for any possible abnormalities. This is the special ultrasound where we will get a really clear view of the baby and a DVD!

These photos are not as clear but we have a great view of the spine and on the one picture a good view of the legs/feet. The legs are so long! Baby's heartbeat is very strong and everything looks great!

I'm feeling better these days. The past month I've only had nausea (vomiting) once a week. I'm also starting to get some energy back and I gained 2 pounds since my last appointment! I did buy a couple of maternity pants and had to retire some pants so the belly is growing!

"The Baby"

Ok, now I'm on monthly appointments. Our last appointment was on July 1st. Shelby went to this appointment with me and will continue going to the following appointments. Baby Greenwall moved around a lot during this sonogram including doing a full back flip! We also heard the heartbeat this time which was amazing! Is it a boy or a girl? Won't find out until 19 weeks but Shelby is determined it's a boy! (of course)

The past month was very rough with nausea. Never had any vomiting just lots of nausea. I actually lost weight & Dr. Kimmel wasn't very happy about that. I am not "allowed" to lose anymore weight so she gave me a prescription for Vitamin B6 and Wendy's frosties!

"The Sea Monkey"

This was our second sonogram 2 weeks later. I was able to see the heartbeat and Dr. Kimmel measured the baby's length to determine the due date which is January 20, 2009! Shelby was a little upset as he did not go to this appointment with me. I really didn't think there would be a baby to see much less a heartbeat! Ok, time to start reading The Pregnancy Journal my sister-in-law Rachel sent me! We're having a baby!

Feeling fine at this point. No morning sickness yet but still very tired.

"The Black Dot"

This was our first sonogram. We have nicknames for the different stages as our friends would joke around telling us to take care of our "black dot"!

Not feeling pregnant yet except for being VERY tired! Went to visit Kim & Ian in Fresno and slept a lot on the trip!
