1st Ultrasound!

Yesterday we had our first appt with my OB. It was the typical history, blood draw, urine tests, and a pap--those are way less fun when you're knocked up! Then we got to see our babe on the ultrasound! Amazing--that's the only way to describe it. It was the MOST incredible thing. I fell in love immediately with our busy little alien baby! I don't know what he (yeah, i said he, just a guess) was doing in there but he sure was dancing around! Probably just showing off for the doctor and his parents!


Going in, Dave and my parents were convinced there was two babies playin' in there...but the doctor assured us with the amount of movement we saw, there was only one. She said the other one wouldn't have been able to "hide" very well.

How far along? 10 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: +1lb

Maternity clothes? Still in the Bella Band--getting ready to make the big switch though!

Stretch marks? None that weren't there before lol

Sleep: I'm sleeping great now compared to the last few weeks!

Best moment this week: The ultrasound yesterday for sure!

Movement: Too early to feel it, but there's DEFINITELY a party going on in there!

Food cravings: Tostitos and salsa; apple juice

Gender: Leaning toward boy

Labor Signs: None

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Not feeling tired all the time!

What I am looking forward to: My bump to look like I'm pg not like I had too many chips and salsa!

Wisdom: Don't listen to everyone's horror stories about pregnancy and labor!!

Milestones: We know there's a nice strong HB now--OB said chance of m/c at this point is slim to none-although I know it can happen :(

And I know I promised a belly pic--I will have the hubby take it tonight with the digital--the one on my phone won't upload nicely!

One week left!

I've been such a bad blogger the past month. I can't help it though, I'm just soo darn tired all the time. There are nights that I sleep for 10 hours get up, eat, shower, and nap for another 3 hours!

So let's see, what's new with this little baby. I'm starting to show a bit--I'll start posting belly pics on Thursday when I'm 10 weeks! We have our first appt with ultrasound next Monday and I'm SUPER excited about that!! The vomitting has started to subside but the nausea still knocks me on my rear daily. I hate taking showers because I get SO dizzy and woozy feeling that I almost pass out EVERY day. Otherwise, nothing much new here.

I'm getting excited for Easter though...that's when we're telling the rest of the family! I can't wait to see everyone's reactions! I'll be almost 14 weeks by then too...so that's exciting!

I borrowed this from Blair's blog--I'm going to fill it out for 9 weeks today and then on Thursday for 10 weeks!

How far along? 9 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: No gains no losses

Maternity clothes? Still in the Bella Band

Stretch marks? None that weren't there before lol

Sleep: I'm only sleeping for about 4 hours at a time then I'm awake for an hour then toss and turn for the rest of the night. Then there's the getting up to pee 50 times a night... lol

Best moment this week: Eating without throwing up!

Movement: I hope that baby is swimming in the ute!! But I can't feel it yet.

Food cravings: Girlscout cookies and ice cream

Gender: Leaning toward boy

Labor Signs: None

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Getting a good nights sleep

What I am looking forward to: Brushing my teeth w/o gagging!

Wisdom: If you're craving it, it doesn't mean the baby will like it--pizza...blah!

Milestones: I am almost through this 1st trimester w/o any spotting! WHOOT!
