Jumping Mexican Bean

On March 30, 2012, I took Lil' M with me to my first OBGYN appointment. I found out I was 9 weeks along and the baby has a heartbeat. I'm due 10/30/2012! I had two ultrasounds done that confirmed that there was only ONE baby in there! We'll really find out for sure in the 19 week ultrasound I'm sure. I don't think I'm carrying twins because I haven't ate that much and not really big. The highlight was having that first picture of our Unit 2! The machine was much better this time around compared to Lil' M's-I can actually make out the shape of our lil' bean. It was so active that it was jumping up and down! Awwee...it's like a jumping Mexican Bean..rather Filipino Bean :P. I'm not sure if Lil' M even saw the ultrasound itself, but she was definitely interested in the photo afterwards. She even asks to see it on her own at home.

Lil M' did a fantastic job going with me. She followed my directions and sat nicely in the doctor's office and even asked if I was OK. She's such a sweet little girl (when she wants to lol). She even answered the nurse's questions to me...everytime I said "No" to common questions, she'd say "No thanks". She even sat with me when I got my blood drawn. I think it was beneficial for her to see me not in a panicked state at the doctor's and she was having fun there. She even asked to go play at the Pediatrics playhouse afterwards. Can't believe she remembered!


I have to go back for the dreaded glucose screening. I'm worried even though it's not going to be a new concept. I just pray that for some miracle I don't get it this time as I think I have been eating MUCH better this time around. I'm pretty carb-conscience and have stayed thin after I had Lil' M. I'm on pins and needles right now waiting for a call back from the office because I missed a call and the VM only said "call us back". Why couldn't they have left a more detailed message. Ugh.


Well, now that it's confirmed there is a Unit 2, we'll get together with our families and tell the news all at once just like we did with Lil' M.  I'm nervous with this one as I was with Lil' M.
