9 Weeks and 4 days...

Well...my abdomen is starting to "thicken" just enough to where I can only wear like 2 pair of pants that I own. I know you are supposed to get bigger when you are pregnant but it is really hard being in the "is she fat or prego?" phase. So far pregnancy only = looking fat + nausea + exhaustion! I think when I feel the peanut move for the first time it will all be more real. Last night at work I did an ultrasound for fun and saw our little alien looking peanut moving around for the first time. I could see him/her waving her little hand/nubb!! It was so cute! It is so strange to have something growing and moving inside of you and you can not feel it! We have our next doctors appointment on Monday, so I will keep your posted with more photos.

Daddy to be....

Patrick is so cute! He is so excited, he can hardly wait for december to get here. He gets me to roll over every night so that he can rub my tummy and always asks do you think the baby can feel me rubbing? He has also been so understanding of my extreme need to sleep and has been really good already with helping me take care of things around the house. Pat always make sure to include the baby when he says we loves me. Now he says "I love you and the baby!" I am so blessed to have such a sweet and sensitive daddy to be!

6w1d....sigh of relief!!

On saturday at work I saw our gumie bears strong heart beat for the first time at 6 weeks and 1 day!! We are so relieved!! I know I am still early, but that is our first milestone we have accomplished! Now comes the first prego symptoms....I am exhausted all of the time, I get headaches (that don't last very long), I am always hungry, and get nauseated if I do not eat promptly every couple of hours. But so far, nothing major! They say that all of these symptoms are good signs that my hormone levels are high and that all is well!! So yay!! It is so weird knowing something is growing inside of you, but you cant feel it....well not yet anyways!

Our 1st OB appointment

At our first appointment last thursday we had the first ultrasound....to find out we were a little behind what we had originally thought. So we were only 5w5d along. Therefore, there was no heart beat yet but, we did see the egg yolk and the sac. So far so good, but this changed out due date to December 26, 2009. So we will have to wait a little bit longer to see the sweet relief of a heart beat!
