Tomo and I went to the clinic the other day to check up on the baby and myself. This time the ultrasound was from my belly so Tomo was able to watch. He hasn't seen an ultrasound since the very first blob many weeks ago so I was excited for him to see everything. When the baby (which actually looks like a human now!) appeared on the screen, Tomo got so excited! He had a huge smile on his face and kept saying "wow, there's really a baby in there." It was adorable. The doctor showed us the heartbeat, pointed out all the limbs, and measured my stomach. The baby was moving a lot so it was hard to get a good ultrasound snapshot to print out, but of course that's a good sign :)
For an update on me, well my morning sickness almost went away for about a week but a few days ago it came back with a vengeance. It was even worse than the beginning. Literally everything I ate came right back up, so of course at this doctor's visit I was dehydrated and had lost some weight again. They gave me an injection of vitamins and fluids which is supposed to make me feel better but never really does. I also had to take some tests for STDs and blood cancer. Those results come back in a few weeks, which is when we'll be going to the clinic yet again.
So basically everything is going well. Baby is healthy and active, and I will hopefully lose this morning sickness soon!
That's so exciting, Janelle! Love the pic :) I hope your morning sickness goes away soon. I bet it's a boy!!! I was WAY more sick with Aaron even though everyone warned me that twins meant twice the morning sickness. Good luck, and I love reading your updates! :) We miss you guys!
ReplyDeleteI think the picture is very clear and you can actually see the baby! I was so glad we got to talk on Skype even though you weren't feeling great. Love you!
ReplyDeleteHi Janelle and Tomo!! I have been meaning to write and tell you how much I love your blog It seems so much more real, hearing and reading how you are doing with your pregnancy and reading about Tomo's reaction. I don't have any advice for morning sickness. I do remember hearing that it is a good sign that you do have it though. Saying that, I didn't have morning sickness hardly at all. In fact I loved all my pregnancies. I never had any back pain, indigestion or anything like that. Maybe living in such a moist country had something to do with it lol. Anyway you are doing all the right things and your scan pic is proof that your baby is healthy. Remind me when you are due? More additions to the Schnell clan!!!! Take care honey. Thinking of you guys lots!!!
