Week 19

Baby Rivera is still moving around in the morning and at night, but that is the only news again this week. I'm not sick anymore, but still tired more than usual. I'm also still not a huge fan of food. (Note.....junk food is not the same as 'food'. I do love me some donuts, chips, popcorn, cookies, and candy!)

Here's another picture from her ultrasound. The view is looking down onto the top of her head, and she's giving mommy and daddy the "thumbs up" letting us know that she'd doing a-okay. :) Next week I'll have crossed over the halfway point!

Hugs and Kisses!

Week 18

It's another sweet baby GIRL!!!! The ultrasound on Thursday, the 10th went great. Everything is looking excellent and right on track for Baby Rivera #2.

Because I'm of "advanced maternal age" we had an extra long appointment complete with genetic counseling. The first 45 minutes was them showing us the statistics of chromosomal abnormalities for my age of...gasp.....35! So, we finally told them we aren't interested in any testing...there is no point really. David and I have already discussed that if anything were to be wrong, it wouldn't change the outcome of the pregnancy, so unless it was something they can "fix", we just aren't interested. So, off we then went for the ultrasound where everything looks super-fab! Attached is the first close up of sweet Baby Rivera #2.

Baby Rivera #2 is also moving....finally! She started the day before the ultrasound and now I can feel her usually in the mornings and at night.

Now......on to the name......

Week 17

Gosh, once again not too much to report. I still am not feeling this little baby move! Every once in a while I do feel something, so I'm trying once again not to worry. I guess I was just spoiled by feeling Megan early, but I've read and heard that sometimes it takes up to week 22 - 25 to really start feeling things. Only three more days until I can see for myself that things are just fine. AND.....we'll be finding out what we are having...a boy or girl! Hope the baby shows us the goods! Daddy seems to think that we're going to have a boy, but mommy is not so sure. I was pretty sure the first time around that Megan was going to be a girl, but I'm not feeling too strongly one way or another. If I were to guess, I'd say girl, but I just don't know.

My appetite seems to be improving, and I seem to want to eat more, but I seem to want to steer away from meat. I wonder if I'm carrying a little vegan! I can eat side dishes, cereal, snacks, no problem....but chicken, pork, fish......blah!

I'll probably post early next week so I can confirm that baby Rivera #2 is doing well, and let everyone know if the baby 'spread 'em'. :)

Hugs and kisses!
