12 weeks...so glad to be here!

So last Friday we had our 2nd visit to the Dr. He said everything looked great! I haven't gained any weight and I have actually lost some. He said this was nothing to worry about right now. I also noticed that the little heart rate had gone from 165 to 180...I'm wondering if this means "girl?" I have read and heard many things about if the heart rate increases and stays increased it's more likely to be a girl. Who knows?!! Can you see the little leg buds and arm buds in the pic?? :o)

As for how I've been feeling lately...I started taking my vitmains at night after many friends suggested it. I do think it has helped some with the morning sickness. A new development is when I'm sleeping now I am starting to get hungry in the middle of the night. I also can no longer sleep in past 8 on the weekends because someone makes me feel SUPER hungry. As for energy levels, they are still pretty low. I did manage to play volleyball 3 different times, but that's about the most I've been able to do lately.

Since I'm almost done with the first trimester, maybe things will start getting better like everyone keeps telling me. Guess we shall see!!

11 weeks today!

Well the Kumquat has now graduated on to be a FIG!! (Length: just over 1 1/2 inches, head to bottom) Morning sickness has only come a total of 4 times, thankfully! It probably could have occured more, but I really try to keep it down. As for food cravings, I really haven't had too many. I was wanting hamburger pickle slices, but now they don't seem to be as desired. The other day I had a MAJOR craving for mac 'n cheese, but after I made it I didn't really want it anymore. How annoying?! Around lunch time everyday I feel like I am starving, however, when I start thinking about what to eat it just makes me feel sick. Strange? Very! Other than that, things are pretty good. Our next dr. visit is this Friday! I can't wait to see a new picture of my little Fig!!

10 weeks along

Today is the 10 week mark. I have officially had morning sickness Sunday morning, Monday morning and this morning. Guess my wishful thinking was just too wishful! I was unable to sail on through without the joys of morning sickness. Just some of the good 'ol pregnancy surprises, I suppose. This morning I took a picture to help document the growing belly, or soon-to-be growing belly. So here is my official 10 weeks belly pic. :o) Not much growth yet, but I bet that changes pretty soon. (P.S. the peanut is now being referred to as a KUMQUAT! Hee hee!!)

And it begins...

After my wonderful bestie, Megan, talked me into starting this blog, I decided I would post a little something to begin. At this point I am 9 weeks and 2 days along. Morning sickness hasn't really been an issue and I just hope it stays that way. I mostly just feel tired and bloated. Lovely, I know. We had our first sonogram on Sept. 25th and we were able to even hear the heartbeat, something I wasn't expecting! So being the emotional person I am these days, I cried. Our next appointment is Oct. 23rd. I can't wait to see how the little peanut has grown!
