Quick Update

Well I went to the doc to weigh in since I've been on my new anti-nausea medicine and found that I gained barely ONE whole pound. I kinda feel like I'm in Weight Watchers only they want me to gain weight! :-) Today I've felt a little weird, all kinds of stretching and aches in my tummy area. There's a slight bump forming so I'll post a picture soon for those of y ou who keep bothering me! :-)

2nd Trimester Starts Monday!

Well last night we had our 12 week check up and got to hear the heartbeat! It took the doc a second to find it, which freaked I know her and I out after last time, but what a relief and neat feeling when she found it!! I think the doc said it was somewhere around 160 - which I think is good :) We had a very good visit with the doc and got alot accomplished. As many of you know, I have been very sick the last few weeks. Last night we found out I have lost about 5 pounds and the nausea has been so bad some days that I am not keeping food or liquids down. The doc was not happy to hear about that and said that if we couldn't get it under control they would have to admit me so she prescribed a second anti-nausea medicine. I am supposed to weigh in again in about a week, have my regular check up in about 4 weeks and hopefully find out the sex in 6 weeks! Already today I am feeling some relief from the new medicine so I am hoping it just continues! As for the family, my little brother keeps asking "Am I really going to be an uncle?" and all 6 grandparents are being very supportive! Kels has been helping around the house, which has been awesome, especially on days I am very ill. That's all for now, look forward to reporting on zero nausea and new cravings instead!

11 Weeks

Well, I'll be 11 weeks on Monday and I think I've hit the peak of morning sickness and am on the way back down. Last week was the worst at Jonathan's grandma's funeral. I wish it hadn't been at such a tough time already but I AM glad that this week it hasn't been AS bad! My next doctor's appointment is in one more week and although we won't find out the sex, we hope to hear the heartbeat!! We started registering but will continue to modify it and update it. So far we DEFINITELY found our stroller and I'm so excited! It's a knock off of the bugaboo but $600 cheapier :) Yeah!! We are having a touch time finding a reasonably priced crib that I like so we're starting to look on ebay and craigslist. Any suggestions from you moms out there? My mom has been in toen for the past few days helping Jonathan switch the house around. Now we have the bedroom upstairs (next to the bathroom!) and the office will continue to be my home office until closer to the due date. Kels has the basement now and I'm not sure if we'll still put the bathroom in down there. I think that's all for now - I'll write more after our doctor appointment next week! Don't forget to check out the ticker at the bottom of our page to watch our progress!!
