Trying to Have a Good Attitude.

So I'm in my second trimester now. The morning sickness is supposed to subside now. So far it has only gotten worse. I have had to make sure to nibble on something before I am even hungry in order to not be nauseous, but nothing sounds good. Being pregnant so far has been a lot like having an eating disorder, I eat, I puke, I don't eat, I puke, I'm hungry no matter what, nothing sounds appetizing, I puke. Lots of fun, I tell ya!

This kid is so grounded!

So despite the eating problems, my energy levels are definitely up (as long as I can eat). I started a new schedule at work that I love. I still work the same hours, but my days are broken up differently. Two of my days are broken up into 3 parts, and while that sounds like a lot, it makes the day fly by.

I really don't have much else to update everyone on. I can't wait for the next appointment and the ultrasound!!! Or, ya know, THE BABY! Then I'll have endless things to write about!

Til then. . .

There Really IS a Baby in There!

So I've been going through this strange phase in which I feel as if I'm making all of this up in my head. Babies happen to other people, not me! Logic tells me that yes, I'm pregnant. But then the surrealism hits and it's just weird.

Today at my appt, the midwife couldn't find a heartbeat right away because of the whole tilted uterus thing and so she got out the old ultrasound machine!!! As soon as her assistant walked out to get it, she found the heartbeat, but I was like, "Can I still see it????"

So guess what??? PICTURES!!!!! They don't look like much and I can't find my scanner cords to upload them, but I will soon. For now, here is a video of the ultrasound from my iPhone. YAY!




My full anatomical ultrasound is scheduled for October 4th. That's when I'll (hopefully) find out the sex of the baby as well. I can't wait!!!

And We're Off. . .

Welcome to my new blog! If all goes as planned, this will be a place to let anyone who is interested keep up with my pregnancy and eventual baby!

In case anyone doesn't know, I'm due on March 4, 2011. I'm 11 weeks and 3 days today and have my first midwife appointment tomorrow. Hopefully I will hear the heartbeat tomorrow, but my tilted uterus may make it difficult.

I will get one ultrasound at 18 weeks unless there is a problem or they suspect multiples. I'm planning to go to a 3D ultrasound tech with my sister after that. So there will be baby pics here, but not for about 7 more weeks.

Well it's a boring start and I will hopefully have more entertaining stories to tell in the future, but this pregnant woman is tired right now.
