11 Weeks

I'm 11 weeks and 1 day pregnant today! The time seems to be flying by. I'm still suffering from nausea unfortunately. I've lost about 5 lbs and I'm very picky about what I eat. I've only thrown up twice though! I've been sick since 6 weeks, so I think 5 weeks is enough...right?! Hopefully it's on it's way out. It was getting a little better around 9 weeks but seems to be worse right now.

I had my sonogram at 8 weeks and 2 days:

 (The head is on the right and body on the left with little arm and leg buds)

I was really nervous at this sonogram! I started crying before the tech even started because all I could think of was the last time I was in this room, things didn't end well. Praise God that there was a perfect heartbeat of 172 bpm and the babe was measuring exactly what it should have been at 8 weeks and 2 days! We are so thrilled and hoping that he/she continues to grow healthy and strong in there.

My next prenatal appointment is in 9 days (9/13) and we'll get to hear the heartbeat on the doppler. I'm really looking forward to that and just trying to keep trusting God that everything will be alright.

On another note, we recently made a trip to Massachusetts to visit my husband's family on August 22nd to the 27th. Here are a few pictures from our trip:

Doctor's Appointment (8/2/12)

I had my doctor's appointment today. I had an interview with the nurse, ob appointment, and blood work. As of now, my due date is March 25th. I'm 6 weeks and 3 days today. I go for a sonogram in 13 days (8/15)! I can't wait! My next ob appointment is in 6 weeks (9/13).

Nausea is still going strong. I'm barely eating and when I do eat, it's mostly soup. It seems to be the worst at night time, so I definitely have to have a snack before bed. I haven't thrown up yet though!

Everyday that I have with this baby is a blessing. Praying for a healthy, strong heartbeat at our sonogram!

6 weeks (7/30/12)

I'm 6 weeks pregnant today! I can't believe it's been two weeks since I found out. The time has gone by slow and fast at the same time.

The nausea has really set in. Like feeling like poo all day everyday. I've been very picky about what I eat, also. Nothing really sounds good to eat. Soup is always a good choice, though.

My first doctor's appointment is this Thursday, August 2nd. I'll have an interview with a nurse, my prenatal appointment, and blood work. I hope they schedule me for a sonogram so we can make sure everything is ok in there. I'm so thankful that God has blessed us again and that everything seems to be going good so far.

YES! (7/19/12)

I just found out three days ago (7/16) that I'm pregnant! I'm so happy! I took the test first thing in the morning around 6 am and ran upstairs to wake my husband up and tell him immediately. My best friend from Massachusetts was visiting here for the week and the morning that she left I got the positive test. It was fun to share the excitement with her! I haven't made a doctor's appointment yet. I'm going to wait until Monday, when it has been a week since I got the positive, to schedule an appointment. I just don't want them doing that early of a sonogram this time. The only symptoms I've had are sore breasts, mild cramping, and fatigue. According to my LMP I'm 4 weeks and 3 days. I have a peace about this pregnancy that everything will go well. I'm so beyond grateful that God has blessed us again. He is good. 

Worry implies that we don't quite trust that God is

big enough

powerful enough

or loving enough

to take care of what's happening in our lives.
