We had our second appointment this week. It was AMAZING! The baby was doing all of these flips and twisting around. It was adorable. It was like the baby knew we were watching. We were able to get an ultrasound picture showing some of the baby's face and hands. I'm going to try and take a photo of it to get it up here.
Shad's been VERY sick this week. I've been trying to take care of him but I also don't want to get sick. He's starting to feel a bit better, which is good. I hope that he didn't pass it on to me. I've had the worst sniffles the entire time I've been pregnant so I guess it wouldn't be too much of a change. Supposedly that's normal. Normal AND annoying! I also don't want to get sick because I'm not allowed to take anything.
I still haven't had any weird cravings or anything. I've been trying to stick to my healthier diet. I feel like I'm not drinking enough water so I need to pay attention to that.
Shad and I are looking to plan a little mini vacation over Spring break but we can't really decide on a place. I feel like this is really going to be our last opportunity to travel for a while so I want to take the opportunity. Hope we get it figured out soon because it would be nice to get away just the two of us.
My next appointment is March 11. I can't wait because that will be an official ultra sound. It's going to be great!

It's True
Well, I've been told that by setting up a blog it will be easier to communicate with everyone about the baby. So, here goes!
January 19th. That's the day that we found out. I hadn't been feeling well for a few days and had started feeling nauseous. I decided it was time to maybe just take a test. Just to rule it out. 3 pregnancy tests then some freaking out and it was official! I couldn't believe it.
I was right in the middle of RA training which isn't exactly the time that you can rest and figure out your life. It's more like, get through the week and then remember you have a life. I proceeded to carry around crackers and ginger ale. I never got sick over the next few weeks but it was very bothersome. It's hard to wake up in the morning feeling sick, get through the afternoon feeling sick, and go to bed feeling sick. It was exhausting.
Shad and I went to the doctor on January 28th (7 weeks). I cried when he showed us the ultrasound. It was amazing. I had been stressed out since the day that I had found out because I was so unsure of what I was supposed to do but the doctor said I was doing fine and that the baby's heartbeat looked good. The baby's due date is September 14, 2011.
I don't go back to the doctor until February 22nd but it seems like things are going pretty well. I haven't been feeling great but that can be expected I guess. I have found that it's not good to eat a lot of sweets or fatty foods because it just leads to making you feel worse at the end of the day. I can't seem to get enough sleep. I'm really looking forward to the next appointment because the doctor is going to give me more of a diet and we will hopefully have another ultrasound to see how the baby is progressing. We are definitely going to find out if we are having a boy or a girl but I don't think that we find that out until about month 4. I hope the doctor will give me some digital ultrasound pictures so I can upload them here.
