14.2 Weeks Along - 2nd Sonogram - Not Exactly Planned

Had a bit of a scare last night that necessitated a sonogram this morning. Just a tiny bit of spotting but wanting to make sure everything was ok, my doc ordered another sonogram. All is well and peanut is growing just like he/she should be. Quite the active little thing this morning as well. The bottom of the two scan pics shows peanut about to suck it's thumb....awwww.... and the top is just a close up. The head is on the right - just so you get the right orientation. I got to hear the heartbeat again...an amazing 146 beats per minute! Right where it should be. No matter how many times I've heard that in the past, and have seen the outline of my babies beating hearts on the screen, it's just an awe-inspiring moment. Kinda makes me go all mushy inside!

Anyhow, spotting is normal, they say one in every five pregnant women spot during their pregnancies. And the amount of blood was minute at best and the sonogram didn't detect anything wrong. So there's no need to be overly concerned. My doctor just suggests taking it easy for a few days and going back in for my normally scheduled appt. on the 5th of August.

The only complaint was that I'm down yet another 2lbs from the 15th. Believe me, I'm trying to maintain and not lose weight. Just seems a lot easier said than done. But I'll work on the appetite. I'm sure I'm rounding the bend and will have a monstrous appetite here within the next couple of weeks!

All is well!

It's time for my nap now. I got very little sleep last night being the 'nervous Nellie' I am.- worried quite a bit about all the "what ifs"....it's nice to know now, that there was no need for all that worry!
