Hello Baby

By Laura

Last week my husband and I went in for our dating ultrasound. During the ultrasound, they measure the amniotic sac and the baby to verify how far along you are and give you a precise due date. They prefer not to go just by the last menstrual period date. Also no one really knows when you ovulated, so it gives the doctors an accurate time frame. The technician that did the ultrasound also explained how important the date is, because most women need some medical treatment or testing through their pregnancy. The doctor wants to make sure they are not doing it too early or too late.

By Laura

My husband and I decided we should tell his parents I am pregnant. I wanted to wait until Mother’s Day, but my husband thought they would enjoy it more if we told them first, without other family members prior to Mother’s Day.

I’ve read in one of my pregnancy books it is due to hormone changes. I’ve looked on the Internet for various cures/suggestions to help ease the nausea.

My baby is doing what?!?

By Laura

I recently found out I am pregnant! Yeah! I’m so excited. I decided to tell my boss and coworkers, since I will be going to many appointments in the next few weeks. One of my coworkers had gotten a daily baby pregnancy calendar at a tradeshow. She said she wasn’t too sure about it. She had read the first few weeks and they were pretty interesting. So she brought me the calendar the next day. It is called- Countdown to My Birth. It’s a nice flippy calendar, so you can put it on a desk and read daily about what your baby is doing.
