OB History appointment

We had our OB history appointment today. It took awhile, but it wasn't even with the doctor. We sat in an office and went through our families medical history, etc. Then she gave us a sack of information (including a free pregnancy book!) and went over what will be happening. We see Dr. Zhang on June 5 for an internal exam, pap smear, and to listen for the heartbeat. Then I will see the doctor every 4 weeks until I get to 32 weeks. WOW....4 weeks between appointments seems like a LONG time! We won't have another ultrasound until 20 weeks...

Not much else going on. I have had a lot of heartburn recently, but still not much for nausea and no vomiting.

First ultrasound!

We had the first ultrasound today at 4pm! I was sooo worried ahead of time though. Everything went perfectly :) The baby measures about 7 weeks (I think I am 7 wks, 4 days based on ovulation though). The baby is 9mm from crown to rump. We even saw its little heart beating away (146 beats / min). It was just amazing! I wish I could have laid there watching that screen all day!

Morning Sickness

I think the morning sickness is starting to hit, though I haven't thrown up yet. Yesterday I felt a little nauseas after getting up and had to lay down and rest for awhile after eating breakfast. Today I felt the same after breakfast, then I started doing okay. I got up and folded laundry, unloaded the dishwasher, etc....then I was just hit with wave after wave of nausea. I thought for sure that I was going to get sick. Laying down seemed to help....but that's not going to work tomorrow at school!

Right now I can't stand the thought of any food. But I did eat some dry crackers and I made a fruit smoothie (vanilla yogurt, orange juice, and frozen fruit) that tastes okay and isn't upsetting my tummy yet.

I keep reminding myself that nausea is a GOOD sign that everything is going okay! I WILL get through this for my baby :)
