9th Week Appointment.

Today we had our nine week appointment. We were supposed to meet our new doctor, but he had to rush out for an unexpected surgery. We will now meet him (Dr. Hodges) at the end of September when we have our next appointment. We had another ultrasound today (our third) and the baby is looking good. It was upside down, with a strong heartbeat at 165 and is looking more like a baby every week. I have still been sick, but the nurse suggested taking more vitamins to see if it helps, if not they will write a prescription for something to help. That is all to report for now. Football season began last night, so we went to the game. Lots of fun!

Week 8.

I spoke too soon. The "morning" sickness began after my post on Tuesday. I got sick late in the evening. It comes and goes, nothing too bad. Sunday was not very fun, but I feel good this week. I am still tired and adjusting to my new bedtime of 8 pm. With my new promotion, I work nice and early, so the early bedtime has been great. This week the baby is the size of a raspberry and everything continues to grow. We ordered a DVD to show our extended families to announce the pregnancy yesterday and have a little keepsake for the future. Two friends previewed it and loved it. Football season begins next week, as does school. So between baby, promotion at work, school, and football games the next few months will fly by and be very busy!

Second Dr. Appt.

We had our second doctor appointment today and everything went great. The heartbeat registered between 165-170 beats per minute. Which meant that it doubled since the last appointment which is great. The "blueberry" (it is the size of a blueberry this week) is developing it's organs, eyes, and arms and legs are beginning to form. How exciting! I will post two ultrasound pictures tomorrow. Jeff has begun taking pictures of my expanding waistline. I am already growing out of my clothes, I ordered some maternity pants that feel great, so I will in those soon. Which for my short waist and size is normal according to the doctor. I feel great, but tired at times. Thanks everyone for your support the last week! It is very much appreciated.

We spilled.....

Okay, so we tried to hide it and couldn't. We were too excited and we told our parents last Sunday, August 5. They are all so excited! Both sets are going to be grandparents for the first time!

First Dr. Appt.

We had our first doctor appt. on Tuesday, August 7. They dated the pregnancy at 6 weeks and 2 days. We also had an ultrasound and that dated the pregnancy at 5 weeks and 5 days. We got to see the little bean and it's living quarters for the next nine (eight now) months. They heartbeat registered at 70 bpm, pretty low according to the doctor who would have liked to see it at 100 or above. But it may have just started to beat, and needs a jump-start. We have another appt. and ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday, August 13.
