Belly Pictures... Ugh!

So here are the long awaited belly pics.... I'm waited on posting them because I'm still not a huge fan of the way they look yet.... more like fat and not so much like a baby is in there! A couple more weeks.... Anyway... here's you're 11 week photo from last week!
I am feeling a ton better.... the energy is not 100% yet, but I can eat most anything. I think I'm over the hump! I go next Wednesday for my first trimester ultrasound to make sure there's nothing majorly wrong in there!

I'm finishing up my second week of a 6-credit grad course which has gone really well. I've been able to accomplish a lot of work in Science (the subject which I like the least!) We're almost finished and after work on Sunday, we're going to head to the beach for our anniversary... can you believe it's been a year already? It's time to bust that freezer-burnt cake out!

I'm Back!

I know I promised pictures the next day.... sorry! I had to work a ton last week, because I was gone all weekend to be in a wedding in Connecticut! I'll post about that next! Anyway, here are the ultrasound pictures!


This shows the little one at about 10 weeks... I can't believe you can see the legs already! Everything looked great and the doctor said it should be fine. I went for my first trimester bloodwoork and will go back again in the beginning of August.

I am feeling better, but still sometimes have weird food aversions... it's kinda weird, but it beats being sick.

Will post about the wedding soon!

Better!

I'm starting to feel better. The last three days have been a TON better! It's so funny how much I hated feeling like crap, but of course now that I'm feeling good, I'm nervous that something's wrong! We'll see what the Dr. says on Monday when I have my next ultrasound and checkup! I have to work all weekend, which really stinks, but at least it will be helpful when we're buying baby stuff in the near future!

Hope everyone has a great fourth- I will be sure to post pictures when I get home from the Dr. on Monday!

Feeling Pregnant

I'm definitely feeling more signs of pregnancy as I go along.... day after day, usually within an hour of eating, I feel like I could throw up at any given moment.... not a great feeling, but we have to eat, right? I've been sticking to small meals, but I feel sick anyway, so whatever. At least I was smart enough to start taking my vitamin before bed... that was making my day miserable.

But I guess other than that, things are going well.... giving up alcohol is difficult. Not because I like to be drunk, but to have a beer or a glass of wine whenever is a nice treat. Water is just so.... boring sometimes!

Anyway.... all in all, things are good. I go back to the doctor on July 6. Hopefully we'll have some new information then!

Update...

So, I went back to the doctor today for a followup ultrasound. They just want to make sure everything's okay because of my past history. It was cool to see how much changes in one week. The little blip on the screen looks like a lima bean now and we were able to see a heartbeat! It was pretty cool. No pictures today, but still awesome to see the beating right there on the screen. The doctor also said that usually when you see a heartbeat, the risk of miscarriage drops to less than 5% after that.

I got back to the Doctor on July 8 for my first "real" visit. They'll work up all of my paperwork and get everything in order. Looks like things are good!

Keep your fingers crossed! :)

Pictures!

Here are some pictures from my ultrasound on Monday. I am about 5 1/2 weeks, and there was no heartbeat yet, so he's taking me next week to see if we can find it! It's the little white bean looking thing inside of the black circle!

I Guess It's Time To Tell...

...only because I'm not very good at keeping secrets! I'm pregnant! I'm headed to the doctor tomorrow for an ultrasound just to make sure everything's alright, but so far, everything seems great. I definitely have a lot more symptoms than I had before! Anyway... an update after I get home tomorrow.... think happy thoughts for me!
