As of today, I wouldn't necessarily say I'm showing, but I can tell I'm bigger. So far we have had two appointments both including ultra sounds. The doctor says everything is normal and we're doing good. In fact, she said that Steve is going to be so fun in the delivery room and I agree, but I'm not so sure "fun" is the word I would use to describe a delivery room, but okay. :)
The only problem so far, is the ginormous bruise left on my arm from when they took 8 vials of blood! The blood is being tested for genetic abnormalities. Our next visit is on 6/25 where we will receive another ultrasound..this one for the nuchual screening. This screening coupled with my blood test results will give the doctor an idea if we have a chance of genetic problems. I'm not worried. The benefit, besides the obvious, is that we may be able to tell what we are having since the ultra sound is at the end of my (our) 13 week. I think we just have to remember to ask the tech. We can't wait to find out!!!! We talk about how amazing people are who hold out. Not us.
So to sum up pregnancy thus far here's my stats:
- Morning Sickness - None, although some minor nausea in the 10th week
- Cravings - Yes, PLUMS, blueberries, taco bell, tomato soup, pickles (I've always loved pickles) and fro yo. Basically, I'm loving the fruit of the season.
- Aversions - Yes, some meat
- Weight gain - A pound or probaby 2 by now (well as far as I know. And, no I will not buy a scale) LOL
- Emotions - Up and down, but mostly up!!! Super excited and can't wait to be a mama!
- Misc. - I've had a cold and food poisoning thus far :( what's up with that!
Me at 3 months :)
I also want to give a shout out to all my lovely ladies. Since I don't have a sister, my friends are just like having 7 sisters along this journey with me!
