First Ultrasound

Today was around 10 weeks and we had the first ultrasound. Everything looked right on target. Size is correct for May due date, heartbeat...beating. And only one.

Morning Sick

Have had a low-grade morning sickness since about Labor Day weekend, when we first found out we were expecting. Luckily, no throwing up, but my stomach has bothered me just enough to make eating difficult. And cooking. And shredding chicken. And even looking at pictures of recipes. TJ, I am so sorry I haven't felt like cooking! Hopefully just a few more weeks of this and I'll be into the second trimester. Last time, it seemed like it was to the day that I started feeling better after 12 weeks.

Two weeks ago I went to the doctor-but just saw the nurse-for the first appointment. Labwork, flu shot, and their info they are required to give; "now's not the time to start using cocaine!" Calculated the due date to be May 10, 2011.

Tomorrow I go to see the doctor for the first time. Am about 9+ weeks so I expect they'll do the first ultrasound on the peanut to do some measurements and make sure the due date seems right. I am a little anxious...one or two heartbeats...and this time I'll be alone. TJ has patients booked in this, his second week as an attending. He is busy trying to get his practice up and running. Will post the ultrasound picture tomorrow!
