Happy 14 weeks!
You are trying out some new moves this week! Your eyes are starting to move, and those little legs and arms are starting to flex. These movements also allow you to practice the important skill of moving hands to mouth. We saw this during your gender reveal video last week!
The senses of smell and taste are also developing, and your skin is thickening too. And… right now, hair follicles are forming under the surface of the skin. With each passing week, you are looking more and more like the little person we will meet the day you are born!Love you baby Boy Thompson. (PS…so far Daddy wants to name you Owen Joseph Thompson…time will tell if this name sticks!)

13w1d- Gender Reveal Ultrasound
Well one person in the family knows if you are a boy or a girl! Your heartbeat was 165 measuring right on track and weighing in at 3 oz! Tomorrow evening is the big reveal during a small family dinner! My guess is a Girl…. Time will tell!
13w1d OB appointment
Mommy had her OB appointment today. Baby's HB is a strong 160. And Caitilin's fundal height is measuring more around 14 weeks. OB said that's normal with Mommies who have had previous pregnancies. The next appointment is on May 23rd along with the ugly glucose test! Caitlin needs to do it earlier than normal since she was a gestational diabetic with both pregnancies before. Fingers crossed the diabetic diet is doing the trick and insulin is not needed this time around. 🤞
13w0d Belly Pic!
Oh my…that little round belly is really popping out! Daddy is just as excited as Mommy!

Happy 2nd Trimester! 13w0d!
Little Bean is around 7.4cm long, which is about the size of a peach. The weight is about 25g, which is as heavy as a toothbrush with toothpaste on it.
The baby’s ovaries or testes are fully developed inside and final tweaks are being made on the outside. The ultrasound is tomorrow evening for the gender determination! But we are waiting to find out if you are a boy or a girl at the gender reveal dinner at Great Grandma and Grandpa Richards’ house on Friday evening. Only Great Grandma will know your gender just before she bakes the cake! You are also moving all around and Mommy catches you on the Doppler kicking the sound waves and move away from it!
Pregnancy systems are the same, and Mommy’s belly is growing by the day! One problem is the hernia from previous pregnancies, Her belly muscles separated and it is noticeable this time around…this early.

3 Months Pregnant!
At this time, your has fully formed eyelids. These aren’t just closed tightly; they’re actually fused together and will remain that way until late into Mommy’s second trimester.
At this point, your hands are a little more developed than the feet, and the arms are longer than the legs. The little nailbeds that recently developed are starting to sprout fingernails and toenails, which will continue to grow to the tips of the fingers and toes during the next trimester.
You are is also starting to move a little, Mommy is already feeling you move!
We are blessed!

11w1d- Another big bleed!
Had another big bleed in the middle of the night 😣 heartbeat was good and now just dark old blood. My sugar also dropped last night during that bleed and sitting on the toilet waiting for it to stop. Joe loaded me with peanut butter, then put a towel on the bed, got me a new overnight pad and grabbed my Doppler so we could listen together. I think the amount of blood scared him!

11w0d- Ultrasound!
SCH is much smaller so she is thinking I passed most of it. Measuring right on track. Wiggling like crazy. Look at those long legs!!! HB 179. The placenta is posterior and the very tip of the placenta is over my cervix so that may have something to do with it too. Before it was too small she thought it was just low lying. The OB called it a marginal placenta previa. He is confident that with the fact she passed most of the SCH…along with pelvic rest and restrictions on what he calls light “bed” rest…meaning low level work with feet up as much as possible, things will be ok…If Caitlin has more bleeding that lasts for more than 2 hours and doesn’t lighten up like it did this time, he wants to see her immediately. This is the same scenario with Warren and Gracyn so Mommy can do this! Not her first rodeo! Also the OB is already talking induction because Caitlin produces BIG babies! So far the induction date is set for Oct. 20th! Sounds so far away….for now we are thankful for each week’s worth of milestones!
11 weeks Belly Pic and Baby Development!
Baby Bean’s development this week;
Your baby's fingers and toes
Your baby's tiny fingers and toes have lost their webbing and are distinct – and longer.
Organs are working
As you reach the end of the first trimester, all your baby's vital organs are in place, and many have already started to function. The liver is making red blood cells, kidneys are making urine, and the pancreas starts making insulin. The four chambers of your baby's heart are fully formed, and your baby's heart is beating.
Genitals are forming
By the end of this week, your baby's genitals will start developing. The external sex organs – the penis and scrotum in boys, the clitoris and labia in girls – don't start to differ from each other until about 11 weeks. And even then, it takes several more week
Soon we will be finding out if you are a boy or a girl! Can’t wait!
Love Mimi
11 weeks- BIG BLEED! OH NO!
Mommy passed a couple of nickel sized blood clots with bright red blood this morning…of course she checked for your heartbeat on the Doppler. Thankfully she found it right away and now the Doppler is consistently picking up the BPM around 175! The blood is likely from the sub chorionic hematoma…but still nerve wracking! Mommy is calling the OB in hopes to get in an ultrasound today for reassurance!
Happy 11 weeks!- Symptoms!
Morning (anytime of the day) sickness has been worse this last week. 😣 cravings: Chick-fil-a kale salad and egg salad. Belly bloats so much my belly button is surfaced by the end of the day. Taking my prenatal in the evening now. TIRED 😴 Had to buy better bigger bras (nursing bras) and had a nice prenatal message …Doing good on the diabetic diet and starting to feel little “pops” of movement here and there from baby!
