9 weeks!

That blob in the middle is the baby! We had our first ultrasound last week and saw the hearbeat and baby AKA Blob. It is the size of a grain of rice...can you believe that! at our next one in 3 weeks it should resemble a human more :)

WEEKLY STATS:
Weight:   115
Cravings: They have come back but still not too strong. I really want fast food, fried food, or chinese food
How do I feel: Better now that the morning sickness is over. It's been replaced with bad headaches...but I'll take them over the puking. I feel like my belly is getting less bloated and more round...so next weeks picture should look pretty different!

8 Weeks!

I can't believe it is 8 weeks already. I feel like I just found out!
I had my first doctors visit on Monday and that went well. We did a whole health history , and an exam. My nurse said my uterus was growing right on track so that made me feel really good. I go in on Friday for the first ultrasound so I will update you all then.

WEEKLY STATS:

Weight:   114 my morning sickness has taken a toll on my body
Cravings: NOTHING! All food and drink sounds gross to me. I can barely eat and when I do finally make something that I thought I would like I end up getting repulsed by it and having just a few bites. Mcdonalds and Arbys seem to be the only edible food at the moment.
How do I feel: Crabby! I want to eat and my body just doesn't like anything. I am exhausted because I can't sleep at night. When I finally feel like I have energy it's right before I have to go to bed. I am looking forward to being done with the first trimester!


 

7 Weeks!

Today I am 7 weeks pregnant! I received The Belly Book in the mail today, so I was very excited to start putting down all the memories/milestones thus far.

I had a great day yesterday at my parents floating/swimming on the lake, and spending time with family and friends. We have told all of our family now and most of our extended family. I was hoping for a bigger reaction from some, but overall everyone is thrilled and very happy for us!

My mornings have been a lot rougher as of late. My morning sickness is out of control! It is now seeping into the afternoons. It has been hard to deal with this at my internship as the smell of toothpaste makes me really nautious, so dental assisting isn't my close friend at the moment!

Now the weekly stats:
Weight:  117
Cravings: Basically everything that is not good for me. Poptarts, Chips, Pizza Rolls, Ice cream
How do I feel: I am a hormonal mess. A few days ago I was almost that stereotypical pregnant wife who wanted to throw a remote at my husbands head. I can't even remember what set me off...but it seems to be anything and everything! In more hilarious/extreme cases I have taken to crying at the end of Man Vs. Food episodes when Adam wins his challenges (I can't help it!). Also peeing is horrible!!!!!!!! Sometimes after I have finished, before I can walk out the bathroom door I have to turn around and pee again lol. I just have to keep an even keel and keep working out. It seems to calm me down with my daily 3 mile walks or else lifting at the gym. Next weeks update will be even more exciting, because on Monday Joe and I will have been able to look at and hear our little bean :)
