Bye Bye to Trimester 1

This week I am officially beginning the 2nd trimester! It's very exciting to read what changes the baby is making. Just a few weeks ago it was 2.5 centimeters and now it's reaching 3 inches! It's amazing how fast he/she is growing and developing! Luckily I am feeling mostly better...still just a bit more tired than usual.

On another note, last week was Spring Break. I spent it cuddling on the couch with Kali as you can see.

Week 12

Only 1 more week until the first trimester is over! Greg and I are both surprised at how fast it has gone. I am finally feeling some better...I can eat almost anything I want now without being grossed out randomly. I am also able to stay awake all day! We went and looked at strollers, carseats, and nursery decor today. It was fun and we've found some things we really like! We're definitely excited to start registering in a month or so!

Doctor Visit

We went back to the doctor for lab results and such today. Everything came back normal. We also go to hear that little heartbeat again! :) That was my favorite part. Our doctor seems to think everything is going well and said just another week and a half of the hormone supplements. We go back again April 14th!

Week 10

So far this week I have been feeling some better. I actually had some energy this weekend and managed to help Greg get the house cleaned up. It all hit me today though...I was ready for a nap by lunch time! Other than that I am starting to feel pretty fat! :)

Introducing....BABY!

We had our first appointment and ultrasound today. It was so great to see AND hear the little one's heartbeat. He/She is measuring at 2.5 centimeters. They did not change my due date (still October 3rd) even though the measurement was about 1 day off. I'm okay with that. They did discover that my progesterone level was borderline low so I've been put on some supplements until the end of my first trimester to increase that level. But there are no major concerns since baby has grown well so far. We are going back in 2 weeks to talk about the lab results from all the poking, prodding, and blood drawing (4 tubes!) done today. As long as there are no complications our next ultrasound will be May 18th and we can bring a DVD to record it! We are both very thankful that everything has turned out so well and very excited to become parents!
