Well it's official, there's a baby in there!! We got to hear the heartbeat this morning and it was so AMAZING!! I almost started crying,... and even now just thinking about it. It was just the best sound ever!! Dr. said that the heartbeat is at 160 bpm, it didn't sound that fast, but it's amazing! We were both still in amazement even after leaving the Dr.'s office,... Andrew couldn't stop smiling =) (he's so cute) and so beyond excited!
We are almost through the first trimester now. I am 11 weeks and 1 day today. I am finally starting to get some energy back, but still very tired. I am also starting to get some of my appetite back now that I am not throwing everything up. I have not thrown up since last Monday,.. crossing my fingers that it stays away. I start to feel sick when I don't get enough sleep or when I'm hungry though. Even with two weeks of throwing up, I still gained a couple of pounds. Doc. says my healthy goal is 25-30,... which just even thinking about gaining that much weight makes me cringe. But I know it's going to be mostly baby and fluid and stuff.
My doctor actually scheduled me for an early ultrasound, for next Wednesday, because she said I am measuring about 14 weeks,... no wonder none of my clothes fit,.... so they want to check and measure the baby and everything and see if I could possibly be farther along than we thought. The other possibility could be that my uterus is just larger than it should be or,... I don't want to say it,... but there could be more than one baby in there. I know everyone who has said that I'm having twins and reading this right now is probably laughing and saying "I told you so". Well you can't say that yet cause it's not verified! =P
They redrew blood to check my thyroid again and if it's still a little high then I have to go on medication. I asked what the risks were of it being high and she said that the main concern is that it can cause miscarriage. She also said that I am RH negative, which means I will have to get a shot at 28 weeks and again after the baby comes to help protect any future pregnancies.
I can't wait till our ultrasound next week, and I will most definitely post any pics they give us!!
Until then,...

I'm so excited for you! And you know, I could see you being farther along, especially with them able to hear the heart beat so well. Even if you think it might be two it could only be one. I have measured large from the very beginning (oh that's with every baby lol) and there has always only been one :) But if it's two.. please please please be girls lol!!
ReplyDeletehaha don't let Andy hear you say that, he really wants a boy =P
