9 Weeks

I am now 9 weeks pregnant. I am getting a small baby bump. Lyndon finally noticed it the other day, which is not normal for him. He normally doesn't notice small things like that. I have grown out of most of my regular pants and I am wearing some of the smaller maternity clothes that my sister let me borrow.
We went to our prenatal visit last Thursday and everything went wonderfully. Lyndon had an interesting experience with his first "Girl-Doctor" appointment. But, he was definitely a trooper. The doctor checked my uterus and confirmed that I was 8 weeks along. They drew my blood and did all the fun tests that you have to do! They gave us a bag of a whole bunch of stuff to look at, magazines, DVD's, catalogs, etc. Lyndon and I watched all the videos. They were very 80's and very interesting.
I have had a little bit of morning sickness. Once 9 weeks hit, I was miserable. I haven't thrown up, just constant nausea all day. The things that are helping me with my morning sickness is hash browns with ketchup, refried beans, mashed potatoes, and of course the infamous saltine crackers. I DID actually eat hash browns with ketchup with refried beans. I thought Lyndon was going to hurl. He thought it was the grossest thing, but it tasted so good. One bite Hash Brown... One Bite Beans. :)
We have our next prenatal appointment on July 1st for our 12 week appointment. We are going to listen to the heart beat at this appointment.
I will try to start posting belly pictures now since I am getting a belly. I took a 5 week picture, and after that by belly hadn't changed so I thought there was no reason. I will now start taking them! :)
Until next week....

8 Weeks

I am currently 8 weeks along. Lyndon and I are going to our first prenatal visit tomorrow morning. We are super excited. I am kind of nervous. I just want everything to be alright.

Of course, I'm not really showing yet. I have a tiny belly, but its nothing that anyone can notice. My morning sickness hasn't been too bad. There have been a few mornings and evenings when I have been not feeling good, but nothing to horrible.

Of course, I read the weekly details about what is happening with the baby. This week the baby has fingers, toes and eye lids. That just gets me. Its the size of a kidney bean or a raspberry. Its so amazing that something so incredibly tiny can have fingers and toes. The baby also started moving this week. Of course I can't feel it, but its just crazy.

Hopefully I will have some good news tomorrow about the baby. We go in at 8:45 in the morning.

More news tomorrow.


here is a picture of what the baby looks like right now.
