I had my first ultrasound yesterday and it was so nice to finally see the baby!  Things look good and I was going to post the pictures but the scanner is already packed!  I will do my best to find it tonight so I can scan in the pics, otherwise it will have to wait until after we move this weekend. 

Next appointment is July 20th. I'll keep you posted!  Nothing much has changed, baby is healthy, heart rate at 151 this time around and was very quiet. Doctor had to keep poking my belly to get the baby to move to the right position. Only 5.5 cm long at this point - makes you wonder what all that space in the belly is for then!

12 weeks

Logan wanted to take part in this picture but of course he's a goof now when attention is on him.

Today I had my 12 week appointment - I'm 11.5 weeks along and Thursday will be 12 weeks. Almost done the 1st trimester! I got to hear the heartbeat today which is amazingly fast - 154 beats/minute!  What a relief to hear it and know that everything is ok so far.  Once I get home I'll try to download the clip and see if I can post on this blog for you all to hear. Thankfully there's just one heartbeat - I can't tell you how many people are betting on twins!  I'll have an ultrasound sometime next week - finally! I can't wait to see what the little bean looks like! The doctor said at this point the baby is about the size of a lime.

I am feeling 100% better now too. Finally able to eat healthier too so I'm feeling much less guilty now that I'm able to stomache fruits and veggies.  I admitt that I still have my indulgences, like today I took a quick trip to the store next door in order to restock my chocolate stash at work.  I'll post another picture at 12 weeks - on Thursday.

10 weeks today, seems to be going by slowly but doing much better each day. Still tired at night but not as sick any more if I eat throughout the day. I thought the comic below was quite accurate!
My next doctor appointment isn't until 6/20 but hoping I will hear the heartbeat then! I'm doing okay in this heat thankfully becuase I work in an airconditioned office - can't say the same for my poor husband who is sweltering in this heat!
