My Appointment today

Today was my 13 week nuchal U/S and screening. I was dieing by the time I was in the u/s room I had to pee so bad. AT first glance of our baby he/she wasnt able to move my bladder was so full and the veins surrounding it where making it pulse so much we couldnt tell what was baby and what was me. So I was able to empty my bladder and our little baby was flipping and kicking like it had just been released from prison or something. I am so amazed by what 4 weeks makes with a baby. We could see him/her sucking both thumbs and waving . You could see all the fingers everything was so clear. I was worried the night before that something would be wrong but we found the hb right away and once I hear the hb I was crying and feeling much better. Everything looks great and the parts they needed to look for to rule out down syndrome where there. My liitle baby is doing great. I have lost 1.5 pounds and my bloodpressure has gone down as well. I didnt see my regular OB but the one I did see did set me up with a new prenatal that has vitamins and stuff in it to help with the naseau and vomiting. I am still having a hard time keeping stuff down. My Dh family all thought for sure that I was pregnant with twins again because of how I am feeling and I think they are all wishful thinking for some boys in the family, but we found one baby and I am happy. I really want to go full term and not have a baby in the NICU this time this is my main focus. Also my Dr had my due date as May 27 and I keep telling him that his days are wrong and the U/s confirmed that my baby is due June 5th and they are looking at May 30 for my csection. I will try and add the picture of our baby sucking both its thumbs once I figure out how!
