9 weeks...and still growing??

So, 9 weeks now - and still growing - but not that much. Maybe it'll slow down? LOL!!

I had heartburn/indigestion so bad last night that poor Landon had to go out and buy Maalox for me. The stores on base were closed, so he had to drive a ways to find some...I felt bad but the burn was awful and I felt like puking. Nice, huh? The joys of pregnancy....

Beginning of the end?

I'm not holding my breath, but today is the second day that I haven't been nauseated EVERY minute of the day! I had a wave of it this morning when I was trying to rush out the door for my appointment. And just once more after dinner, but it wasn't that bad. I did have the help of Zofran this morning, but hey, whatever works!

We finished up the kids' back-to-school shopping, and their first day is next Thursday. Whatever will I do with 3 1/2 hours with no children? Hmm...maybe sleep and catch up!! Haha!

Baby countdown!

The thing you see on the left side is called a Widget. I added it here, so you could see the baby grow! Each week, or whenever baby hits another milestone, the baby in the widget will grow and change also! I thought it was neat - enjoy!

8 Weeks!!

One more week down! They're going fast, which I'm thankful and NOT thankful for at the same time. I'm enjoying this pregnancy, as it is more than likely the last. But I really am looking forward to the second trimester so I can get some relief from the nausea and just plain feeling like crap!

Here's the belly:

Long night last night...

Well scary stuff yesterday! I started cramping super bad after my nap, so long story short, we head into the ER by the on-call doc's request. I got there at 5pm and didn't get to leave til 9:30!! They did blood work, a pelvic exam - cervix is closed, and sent me to radiology for an ultrasound. Everything looked good and they told me to come back this morning for a more detailed ultrasound, to check my ovaries and everything else, and then a follow up at the doc's office. I went and did that and again, everything is fine. They found nothing on my ovaries, nothing anywhere else, and the baby is great. The heart rate was 150 last night and today it was 147, so all is well!! They put me on "pelvic rest", so that means just take it easy...She mentioned threatened miscarriage, but she said that since everything looks great, she doubts it and thinks that it's just "growing pains". I'm taking 325mg of Tylenol, and she prescribed me an anti-nausea med. Hopefully it'll work!!!

Here's the baby!! You can see the head, body, yolk sac right above baby, and I believe you can see 4 dots on the body - 2 being the arm buds and two being the leg buds!
