There is a baby in there

Had my sonogram today and there is a little tiny baby in there. It was so nice to be able to see that, and to see that tiny heartbeat fluttering away. I forgot to ask the tech what the rate was, but of course it was normal or they would have told us. We did get to take home a few pics, they are not very clear and the baby is hard to see, but they are still precious to look at.









Oh also my due date stayed the same. The baby was measuring 2 days ahead, but my dr. said that when it is within 2 days they keep the original date. So I am officially due June 18th. Also I am changing this blog to be public now, since I feel more confident in the pg, I am going to start telling more people.


On another note I received a scrip to help me with my sickness, hopefully it might be of some help. I had lost a pound, so I guess my dr. thought that I should stop throwing up. I actually thought it was pretty good I only lost 1 pound. According to my scale I was down 5 pounds at one point. But of course I know it is never good to lose weight when you are pg. My dr. actually said to me, "Let's see if you can gain some weight next time". Which I found a little bit funny, because my last pg, he was quick to tell me when I was only half way through that I had gained enough weight for my whole pg already. I'm sure my weight gain will get right back up there again, once this throwing up stops.

Yay! I love knowing that little heart is beating and the baby is growing! I am so sorry you are sick all day. Your pregnancy sounds a lot like I was with Brylin and it is no fun. I ate a jamba/zuka juice at least twice a week for dinner because I couldn't keep anything else down. Snack, snack, snack is my best advice and pray that it only lasts the first trimester. I know this sounds strange but excercise helped me to feel less nauseated too. Good luck! I know you know it is worth it!
