3rd Visit to the Doctor

Although we have been to doctors three times and I am only finishing up my 1st trimester, everything is GREAT! There have been some concerns due to spotting but during the last ultrasound Dr Schiavi found an implantation spot that she believes is causing the spotting. This spot is not indangering Baby Crowley so there are no concerns.. I am feeling just fine, maybe a bit tired but that's not a big deal. Enough about me, now let's talk about the baby. Baby Crowley is measuring 12 weeks, although the due date is August 22, so that would put the baby at about 11 weeks... who knows? During the last ultrasound we able to see two little arms and two little legs. I must say that it is just amazing how babies form so quickly. I have been doing some reading to keep up with the development and here's what happening... The baby weight between 1/3 and 1/2 ounce, and is about 2 1/2 inches long, I have high heels bigger then that, ha. In the 11th week the baby's external genetalia began to show distinguishing features, YAHOO! By the way, we are finding out what our little one is. I had a dream not too long ago that it was a baby boy, BABY DAN! The babies bones are forming, nails are appearing, and possibly some hair on the body. The brain has developed, I hope we have a genius on our hands..we'll see. I am sure there is much, much more but you get the idea. That is it for now, PICTURES TO COME SHORTLY. HAve a safe and Happy Mardi Gras

2nd visit to the doctor

Today Dan and I had another visit to Dr Shiavi's office to be sure all is going well with Baby Crowley, and were we very blessed to hear that all is just fine. We had some concerns over the weekend but after another ultra sound we have learned that the baby is progressing with no concerns at all. The baby is growing fast, according to the size of the baby I am actually a week ahead of what the last ultra sound indicated. We are now looking at a due date of August 15th! I have no problem with them moving me up, none at all!
So far, I feel great! I've experienced no sickness and very little fatigue. For all of you out there cheering for me to get big and fat its yet to happen, I've actually lost weight. My husband can vouch for me, I have been eating like a champ. Some say that the baby is just burning up all the extra calories in the process of forming all the special little parts that are going to make up baby crowley.
That's about it for now, please keep us in your prayers!
GO TIGERS!
