How to make a baby!

9 weeks!

I can't believe we are already @ 9 weeks. Only 3 weeks left in the first trimester! We picked up another baby name book a few days ago. We have the boy name picked out but girl names are so hard! The search continues. We have found a couple that we like, but nothing that we are head-over-heels for just yet. I think we have PLENTY of time to get it figured out though :) I really feel like it is a girl, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

8 weeks!

My nausea has slowed down. It isn't constant anymore, just here and there. Thank goodness! The last 2 weeks were miserable. I am glad to be experiencing some relief. My next appointment is on July 20th. That's when they will do my OB work-up. That's code for "lots and lots of bloodwork" lol. At that appointment I think I will also be finding out more about how often I will be going in. The midwife I have been seeing already told me that they will probably not be doing another ultrasound until 20 weeks, which will be October. That's when we will be able to find out if we are having a boy or girl! Well, I am super-tired right now, so I think I am going to take a nap before Brian gets home!

New pics of the peanut!!!

My appointment went great today!!! Brian went with me and we got to hear the heartbeat, it was amazing! They also gave me 2 different prescriptions for my nausea, thank goodness! They confirmed my due date of February 18, 2010. I feel so much more at ease. It's Facebook news now as well, so this blog is public again! We had a great day after my appointment. We went to North Point Mall and I got to do a little retail therapy at Sephora. All together, and awesome day :)

7 weeks!

I have my next appointment tomorrow! Brian is going also. I am excited, can't wait to be able to see more. I know it still won't really look a "baby," but still :) I am also looking forward to being able to see the heartbeat. That will make me much more at ease. I am fairly certain that everything is just fine. I have been so sick, my hormones are most definitely increasing. I will post a new picture tomorrow!

The saltines have been helping, to some extent, with my nausea. Lemon flavored hard candy and ginger ale have also been doing the trick. Basically, I am miserable until about 6 or 7pm every day lol.
