First Ultrasound for Baby!

Yesterday I went in for my first ultrasound for this pregnancy! You can barely see our little baby ( just two - three inches long so far!)

10 weeks 3 days

      As you can see (or maybe not) there is only ONE baby growing (yay!)...... unfortunately, it isn't the ONLY thing growing inside my tummy...
       During the ultrasound, my doctor found that along with a healthy growing baby, I also have a Fibroid Tumor growing in my uterus.
       A Fibroid is a "leiomyoma tumor" that originates from the uterus. Fibroids are fairly common (more common in women 35- 45 yrs old- ouch! I'm only 25!) But it's NOT good to have one while you're pregnant. Having a Fibroid while you're pregnant can cause many complications including: miscarriage, bleeding, premature labor, or interference with the position of the fetus...
       It's not easy to hear that there's a problem or that this pregnancy is risky, but Daniel and I have faith and know that Heavenly Father is with us and is blessing us and this baby.
       My next appointment is just 3 weeks away on October 4th. I am grateful that we'll be monitoring this pregnancy and the tumor closely!

{almost} 10 weeks...

So far, this pregnancy is JUST like the other two... my Morning Sickness kicked in right on schedule (around 7 weeks) and it's consistant: EVERY SINGLE morning as soon as I wake up! Fortunately, thanks to Zofran,  I am not suffering too much!
I'm trying to remember when it ended with both Aiden and Logan... I think around week 16 or 17.... So hopefully only a few weeks left of sickness!
The boys, Aiden especially have been so used to the idea of another sibling (Since Dan and I have been open with them about our plan for over a year now..) that He is referring to the baby's room and my belly as his baby brother, Declan!
    "I'll put this in Declan's room... how is Declan doing in your belly?".... And when I ask Aiden what he thinks this baby will be, He answers like it's already decided: "It's a boy, mom!"
BTW, Daniel and I have decided on the names:

Boy: Declan Paul Phillips

Girl: Emory Joleen Phillips

 

So far everything has been smooth, and we are very excited for this next tuesday, Sept 11th, for Baby #3's first ultrasound!! Yay!
