Ok, so first trimester is officially over!!!  yeah!  The nausea is only around part of the day now, mostly in the evenings around bed time.   So I am thankful for that.  I feel a bit more energetic, but still get tired easily.  Next week I have my next dr appt and I think they are going to do the first ultrasound as well as do some blood tests for abnormalities.  I am starting to get more excited, even went so far as to start thinking about the registry and items that we will need.  Andy and I talked a little bit about the baby’s room this weekend.  We have some work to do, but he will not be in class in March so maybe we can do some of that in the evenings.  I am kind of anxious to get started.

Just wanted to do a little update.  Be back soon!

Ok, so officially I am 11 weeks and 4 days and very much ready to be at least 13 weeks.  I hear that the hormones level off at during your 12th week and then the nausea could lessen at that time.  I am SOOO hoping that is true.  What I think is most deflating is that most people I speak with either never had morning sickness or it was limited to once or twice a day, mine is a constant feeling that goes away temporarily when I eat but comes back shortly there after.   Thankfully I am not running to the bathroom, just have that sick to my stomach feeling all day long.  I am not complaining!!  Just ready for it to be over.

Other than that, things are going well.  Last week I had an appointment and the doctor did a pelvic exam, said everything was looking pretty good and moving along nicely.  We also got to listen to the heartbeat, it was strong and easy to find.  At that point it become more real to me.  Up to then all I had was the upset tummy and a little weight gain, but now, there is actually a little person growing inside me and I have proof!  I am still not getting too excited, I am definitely happy, but containing myself and not running out to do any shopping just yet!  This is due in part to the fact that right now things are a little tight on the homefront.  Andy was laid off last friday and is looking for a new job.  So until that time, we are conserving money as best we can.   So any shopping will have to wait just a bit.

We are still throwing around whether or not we want to know what the sex is.  I would never have guessed it would be that hard of a decision to make.  Andy thinks if we do find out we keep it secret from everyone else, let them be surprised.  I think I am leaning towards that plan.  As opposed to not finding out at all, I think the suspense would drive me nuts.    Anyway, we have a few weeks at least before we have to decide on that.  Getting back to work.  Write more soon!
