On Monday I had my 12 week ultrasound and met Dr. Kroll for the first time. Eric had a big meeting in LA, so my mom and Lindy came with me. I was shocked to see how much bigger the baby is from 4 weeks ago. Boom was jumping around like crazy, it was hard for the tech to take pictures he/she was moving so much. It was great to see all the movement and to hear the strong heartbeat. At one point the tech said she could probably tell us the sex of the baby (right as I was thinking I saw something poking out). So now of course I am convinced it's a boy. This will be a back and forth game for the next 6 months.
WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE SEX IS!Everyday I am starting to feel better. I am still tired all day, but the nausea has subsided a bit. I am glad the news is out and now pretty much everyone knows.
I created this blog about a year ago to stalk my friends and to one day blog about my pregnancy.Here's how the story begins...Eric and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary on June 13th. We had "the talk" about being ready to start trying. I was so excited, I have been ready for the past 6 months. I would say we officially started trying mid July. On Sunday the 25th I was exhausted early and my boobs were starting to feel really sore. Eric was convinced that I was pregnant. Lindy and I went to Walgreens and picked up a couple pregnancy tests. I read it's better to take in the morning so I waited.I woke up Monday super tired and not expecting to see "PREGNANT" in the window of the test. I was freaking out. Wow, first try. BOOM IS IN THE WOMBI called my doctor and made an appt. for August 27th (9 weeks). I am a big mouth and there was no way I was going to be able to keep this a secret, so one by one we started telling family and our closest friends.August 27th finally came with the results we were hoping for. I was so anxious to see the embryo and heartbeat. Eric was great the whole time filming the ultrasound with a big smile on his face.The doctor says the heartbeat is strong and we are looking at a 4-4-11 due date. Our 12 week appt. is scheduled for Sept. 20th.At this point this baby is kicking my butt:- Falling asleep at work reading emails (I am bordering narcolepsy)- Constant nausea ALL DAY (not just the morning)- Feeling like by boobs are going to explode (graphic, but true)- No appetite for anythingHonestly, for me it's all worth it. I just feel bad for the people around me who have to deal with the puking zombie that I have become.
