10 Weeks

Technically I don't officially become 10 weeks until tomorrow, but thought I'd update a day early.  We had our doctor's appointment!  AND!......ONE SINGLE HEARTBEAT WAS FOUND!  I can take a big sigh of relief.  We got things all figured out, paper work done, due date of Dec 16, and finished with the ultrasound.  It was fun to have my first appointment close to ten weeks because we could actually see the arms and feet wiggling around in there.  Craig was amazed at how much the baby has grown.  He was expecting to see a "grain of rice" but instead got to see a grape. he he.  Everything is going really well and at our next appointment we get to meet the doctor who will actually be delivering our baby.  Dr. Bradfield.  It'll be different to have a male doctor, but I've heard very good things about him.  I was impressed with the office with how apologetic they were and they took time to go over everything and not feel rushed one bit.  I was bummed we didn't get to meet the doctor yet, but glad we got the ultrasound to verify all is well.  Jaycee didn't like sitting in the office, but luckily they gave her some stickers to play with so that made her happy.  We are just so excited to have the best Christmas present ever this year!  Also I finally to get to spill the beans to the family.  So if you're reading this for the first time...Yes, Craig and I are pregnant and you heard it from us :) 

9 Weeks

Yesterday I entered the 9 week mark.  That means only 5 more days until my appointment!  I hope for ONE healthy, strong heartbeat!  This past week has gone a little smoother with the nausea.  I've been taken my leftover Zofran pills I had from Jaycee.  We finally called the office to have them call me in a new perscription for some more.  They gave me 60 so I'm really excited to have these on hand.  Mostly I get pretty sick in the morning so I have to eat breakfast pretty quick to get the food in and down so it goes away.  When I take Zofran it changes my whole day!  I'm hardly naseated at all and just have to keep on the food every 3 or so hours.  Craig took me to Olive Garden for Mother's Day (we went Sat) and I got pretty sick that night.  I've noticed anything that is greasy or lots of seasoning doesn't sit well.  So therefore, I've been eating LOTS of fruit and things around the house that doesn't have a lot of grease.  Nachos are a favorite right now.  I feel like I'm starting to show when I wear tight shirts, but I hear that after your first you start showing quicker.  I don't mind that I'm starting to show, but kinda hard to hide it.  I'm sure people think I've just gained a couple pounds in my tummy area :)  he he 
Jaycee continues to jump all over mommy and insist on sitting on my lap all the time.  I don't mind most the time, but I always have to say "Be soft to the baby"  Well the other day Izzy had ran into her and she yells at Izzy and says "Be soft to my baby" and rubs her tummy.  She's convinced she's got a baby in there too.  We like to ask her if it's a baby boy or baby girl and most the time it's a baby boy.  My motherly instincts are feeling that a little boy will be welcoming us.  I was right with Jaycee, so we'll see within the next 10 weeks I'm sure.
I'm really excited for my appointment and just pray everything is okay.  I guess to have the signs and symptoms is a good thing.  Once I know, I'm sure I'll be telling the rest of our families that don't know yet.  Then after my first trimester (in 4 weeks) I might put something on my blog.  We'll see though. 
Pictures to be coming soon too!  Love you all!

8 Weeks

Looks like our little grain of rice has now progressed to a 1/2 inch large raspberry!  One word can completely describe this week-NAUSEA!  Thank you to my sweet husband who helps as much as he can to make me feel better.  13 more days until my appointment and I plan on asking for more Zofran.  I only have 6 pills left so they are gold right now.  Oh and currently I'm craving Papa Johns pizza!  Hopefully we'll get some soon.
