So by now we have had a few doctors visits but nothing with a big huge machine that you usually see in the movies where they print out the pictures of the baby. When my wife first found out that she was pregnant that same day she said she had some spotting, which is obliviously not a good sign. Off to the ER we went, they said she was too early to tell and that it was most likely implantation still happening. We got scheduled with one of the top OBs in Las Vegas where she confirmed that we were only about two weeks and that was what the spotting was from.
Over the next few weeks she had my wife come in to make sure everything was going okay which it has been. Since the OB only had a small little portable ultrasound machine all we could see was the baby on a screen about the size of an iphone plus maybe a little smaller. We now had our first legit ultrasound where we got to actually see a little demon face on the baby lol
see.They moved our due date up from the 27th of September to the 18th. It didn’t seem like much of a difference but it that moved it up by almost two more weeks.
We waited to tell family until we were out of the first trimester already, that’s just a personal choice but seriously you can tell people whenever. Everyone likes to hear about baby news just don’t over do it, no one wants to be around one of those that go on and on about hearing about a new baby coming because then they start getting worried how annoying you’ll be when the baby actually does come and they won’t be able to get away from every little detail about your kid. Which if people really want to know they will ask.
We are now in full blown second trimester at 22 weeks. For real, all I’ve been thinking is, fuckkkkk. There was brief moments of panic on how I was possibly going to afford to have a kid but have now come to terms that I may not be able to provide everything that the kid wants but I will try my hardest to give it the best life possible. We haven’t found out what we are having yet either, we’re one of those that are going to wait until the birth and make it a little more exciting plus it’ll help if we don’t know so we don’t over spend on crap that we don’t need. No baby will need full blown outfits in the first 3 months of birth and I think if I find out what we are having there will go all my money on outfits that the kid will wear once or twice and never fit in it again. Because trust me there are some awesome Star Wars baby clothes that I wouldn’t mind paying a good chunk of money on lol.
I’ve been trying to update this at least once a week, but seriously there is nothing for the non pregnant person to be doing still. Make sure you get everything for the person that is pregnant. Make their life as comfortable as possible. They left something downstairs, go down and get it for them. All I picture is my wife falling down because she is sleepy and I was to lazy to go down for her and then the baby dies. That’s one thing you’ll notice, those kind of thoughts that you didn’t think twice about you now will. It’ll be a constant worry to make sure the person that is pregnant doesn’t hurt themselves in any way shape or form. So for now just make their life simple do as much as possible for them and don’t get lazy. Have fun for now!
