7 weeks and 2 days!!

Our first ultrasound










Hearbeat:122








7 weeks 2 days








We're so excited! The doctor said everything looks great! I go back to see him in 4 weeks!!
Still don't have any sickness besides when I get hungry... and when I eat Italian food! Something about the Italian food makes me really sick! I'm hoping that subsides because I LOVE me some pasta!
In case your wondering, the circle to the left of the blob... aka the baby... :) is called the Yolk Sac. Doctor says that will disappear as the weeks progress.
GROW BABY FUTRAL GROW!!!! :-)

Quarter of a century old! WOW! Where did the years go???

So, I celebrated my 25 birthday Saturday. I feel old now!!! haha My friend (whom I share my birthday with-we were born same day... same year) so graciously reminded me that we are now a quarter of a century old! haha I can't believe it! It seems like just yesterday I was fighting with the kids on the bus for the back seat because that's where the "cool" people sat! haha
It seems like only yesterday I was playing with my dolls like they were real, changing their diapers and outfits every 10 minutes---feeding them---bathing them---the list goes on and on! I played with them as if they were alive and I was the mommy! Now, 20 years later, I AM a mommy to be and I'm about to be playing house all over again! hehe But this time, it's for real!

Speaking of the little butterbean, we get to see and hopefully hear the heartbeat Wednesday morning! We're so excited!! We can't wait! I probably won't sleep a wink Tuesday night!! It's real to me right now that we're pregnant, but hearing and seeing the heartbeat will make it that much more real!

I haven't had too much morning sickness at all. Still just nauseated when I get hungry. We went to eat at Brio's (Matt and I) Friday night, and apparently the little butterbean doesn't like Italian! Or maybe it's just some spices, but I was up all night! BOOO!!! So, I think I"m going to have to lay off the Italian for a while!!! Which, by the way, is EXTREMELY hard for me to do since I LOVE Olive Garden, Cafe Trentuno, and ANYTHING Italian! (sigh) oh well, it's all for the best. I think I can hold off on the Alfredo for nine months.... keyword... THINK!!! haha

ok... enough writing now... I'll post what we find out Wednesday! Pray everything is growing like it should!!!

Monday already? Man, the weekends fly!!

Well, not much has happened since I posted last. As far as I know, everything is still growing like it should, and I'm 5 weeks and 4 days today. We go the 25th to see/hear (hopefully) the heartbeat! We can't wait! Can't wait to see what this little jelly bean looks like!

I am extremely sleepy all the time. I fell asleep last night around 9:00 and didn't wake up until 5:30 this morning. And I could've slept longer than that! haha

As far as morning sickness, I've been VERY fortunate! The only day I've had anything really bad was Saturday night/Sunday. I think it was something I ate Saturday night though. May have been just because I'm preggo and whatever it was didn't agree, or I may have had a touch of a bug. Not sure which. Either case, I thought I was going to die yesterday! I didn't sleep much at all Saturday night/Sunday morning. I went to church anyway, but couldn't stay through service. We left right after praise and worship, and I slept from 11:30 until about 3:45. I felt a little better after my nap, so I got up and went back to church Sunday night. Today, I feel soooo much better. I chalked it up to just being morning sickness, but not sure why it lasted all day like it did. Any case, I am 100% better today! I hope I stay this way the whole 9 months. But we'll see! I'm not banking on it! haha

Saltines, water, and ice! Oh the joys of pregnancy!!

Tomorrow I will be 5 weeks! Today, I started the morning sickness! haha I haven't actually gotten sick, but I feel like I might any moment! I came into work, grabbed my Saltines, some water, and some ice, and I'm trying to ease it with the "old fashioned remedies". :-) My tummy hasn't grown much yet. It's a little out there, but I can't really tell if it's where I was before I got preggo or if it's actually growing. I'll put some pics up on my next post probably.

I've been to the doctor three times since we found out we were preggo for blood work. Everything seems to be growing just fine! :-) We're just still praying that it all stays on track and stays put!

I'm wondering how long the morning sickness will last! Will I be one of the ones to be sick 24/7? or just mornings? Will it be the whole nine months? Or just for a few weeks? I guess I'll just have to wait it out! One thing is for sure... I'll keep the cracker company in business! haha

Wow! Am I dreaming??

We've been trying for 8 months to have a little blessing! It's finally come true! So far! I found out Saturday morning that we are pregnant! OMG!! We're so excited!! I went to the doctor Monday and got my levels and due date. The first levels were 469. I'm due October 15, 2009! I can't believe this is FINALLY coming true!

I've not had any sickness except when I get hungry. no cravings except nachos/taco salad right now. But then again, I'm only 3 weeks and 6 days! Things could change quickly! hehe I'm hoping it won't though!

I'll keep this updated for sure now! Stayed tuned to keep up with the rapid growing belly!!! This is going to be an exciting adventure!!!

Thank you God!
