Hello morning sickness....! This baby is definitely making its presence known right now! I pretty much feel sick morning, noon, and night. Certain smells make me sick, food makes me sick, basically everything makes me sick! Hopefully this will only last for a few more weeks since I am 10 weeks right now.
It has been a little bit of a rocky start. At 6 weeks, I had heavy gushes of blood and thought I was loosing the baby. We went to see Dr. Robbin's, and after a sonogram, they determined that I had a small tear in my placenta, but that the baby had a strong heartbeat. I have been back weekly since then to monitor the tear, which thankfully has been slowly healing itself and getting smaller each week. The baby continues to be growing and has a strong heartbeat (was 176 bpm at 8 weeks). Dr. Robbins said that tears are fairly common, and although they are extremely scary, most heal themselves with no further complications. The bleeding has finally stopped this week, so I am feeling much better about everything!
We finally told the boys last weekend. Ryan seems pretty excited and says that he really wants it to be a girl because he doesn't want another brother! Gabe on the other hand is less excited. He says that he doesn't want us to have another baby at all, but I am sure that he will come around. The boys keep touching my belly already waiting to feel the baby move. They also now have lots of interesting questions such as how the baby got in my tummy, and how it will get out! Looks like we will be having some interesting conversations coming in the next few months!
Here are the sonogram pictures from 6, 7, and 8 weeks. It is amazing how fast they grow!
