Catching up

I know many people have already seen the ultrasound pictures, but I'll still post them on this site to keep things current on here, too. Don't you love the little foot?? :)

So it's definitely been a while since I've written on here, but my days have been very regimented lately. Plus, I'm not really one to blog.

So I guess I should tell you about the ultrasound. It was a very cool experience. It probably took all of 10 minutes, and I had met my baby and got pictures. It happened so fast, I don't think I had time to really let emotions get the best of me. Tim and I were just pretty shocked at how clear the ultrasound was and how clearly we were looking at our baby. Our baby would kick and pump it's little arms every time pressure was applied with the ultrasound equiptment. We certainly weren't expecting that! It was definitely cool watching our baby. Got to hear the heartbeat, too. The doctor measured the little guy, and apparently, I was only about 10 weeks along compared to the original guesstimated 13 weeks the hospital was going by. I kinda thought I was a bit further behind anyway. It makes alot more sense that I'd only be that far along, seeing how I threw up just a few days before the ultrasound.. I had been pretty bummed thinking I was out of my first trimester, but know I know I wasn't.

So, life since then... Well, I'm now 11 weeks along. I've been feeling pretty good. Hoping I'm coming out of the woods with all the sluggishness. I still get pretty tired easily... I find that taking a good long nap in the middle of the day works out really well. If not, I tend to be pretty pooped by like 7:30/8 ish..

I've gone back to swallowing vitamins (I told you before I was taking flinstones chewables, right?) .. well, I got tired of the chalky, grainyness of them.. I was taking them so I wouldn't gag trying to swallow the vitamins, but I think I'd rather go back to that for a while.

Well, I guess this is a pretty good amount of new information. I go to see my midwife again on Tuesday. Maybe I'll write after that. I'll be talking with her about things I'm concerned about.. hopefully. I want to make sure she knows where I'm coming from and what I am expecting, as far as being informed on things, and letting her know what method of birthing I am deciding on going through. ..things like that. So far, I've been kind of dissappointed with how little information they've been giving me.. oh, I could write another blog concerning that.. but I won't. Anyway, I just want to talk to her about why I chose a midwife, and some of my expectations.

Talk to you later...
