February 13, 2012 Pics

So I had my second ultrasound on February 13, 2012 and it was so awesome! I loved it. My Dr. rescheduled a 2nd ultrasound because when I went in the first time I ended up only being 7 weeks so I went back at 9 so we could see more. I couldn't believe how big the baby got in just 2 weeks! I could see the head, the legs and an eye ball. The best part though was that it was WIGGLING! I loved it, it just wiggled all around, it was so fun to see. The Dr. said everything looks great and said this little troublemaker is why I've been so sick. At least I know it is worth it in the end, even though it is completely miserable. I know I complain a lot about being sick, but MAN is it horrible.

Yesterday was a really bad day, I couldn't keep anything down and I was just so sick. Those days are the worst because they just drag on forever and there is nothing that can bring me relief. When Joe got home from work he gave me flowers which I loved and he also gave me a really nice card, which I loved more. He also gave me Jamba Juice gift cards, so extremely thoughtful especially since smoothies are one of the few things that still sound good to me. I got Joe a bunch of snacks to replenish his "snack drawer" that he has next to the bed, he is a snack monster. Those were the only highlights of my day yesterday, lol. Oh well.

We went in for our first ultrasound on Jan. 31 and it was SO COOL. We got to see and hear the baby's heart beat, which was very neat and reassuring. My Dr. said that I am a week behind what we originally thought, so I am 8 weeks...again. I didn't realize how big of a bummer it was going backwards until I started throwing my guts up everyday and then I was mad that I got an extra week tacked on to my time. Oh well, what can you do.

I wish morning sickness was obligated to stay only between the time you wake up and like 11:00am, that would be fantastic. I am sick all day long. I may have a good hour here and there throughout the day, too bad it's never when Joe is home. I'm pretty sure he will do a happy dance when I am not sick anymore, because I am just no fun like this. But I hear that is pretty common so I don't feel too bad about it.

Today is actually a pretty good day so far. I haven't gotten sick yet, which is fantastic, and I don't feel nauseous yet. It's GREAT. I keep thinking I should go to the gym or go run errands, but then I'm afraid this just won't last and I really don't want to throw up in public, that sounds miserable and embarrassing. So we'll see, I'm still debating on how to spend my "good" day, besides blogging.

Joe had a dream the other night that we had a boy. I had a dream the other day that we had a boy. So will it be a boy?? Can't wait to find out!!
