First OB Appointment! {10 weeks}

We are home from our vacation in Arizona and I am still trying to catch up on my sleep. I am so exhausted and it worsens every single day. But it's okay, I know that every change my body is going through just reminds me that our bean is growing.

We had our first appointment with an OB today. I would say "our" OB, but it doesn't look like we will be able to have the same OB our whole pregnancy. I am not too bothered by that. As long as someone is there when this baby shows up, I will be fine. Haha. Our appointment went smoothly. I have heard that uneventful appointments are the best because it means that things are going good. We got to see the bean again. It was jumping around all over the place. The heartbeat was measured at 159bpm which is good. And if you believe in old wive's tales, that means we are having a girl. Haha. ;) (Anything under 140 = boy, over 140 = girl.)

While we were in Arizona we took a look at some baby stuff. Boy, walking around that baby section in Target was overwhelming. There is so much stuff you need. Why didn't any of you tell us this?! ;) But I can't wait until we can start really looking at stuff and getting the nursery put together. I think that is going to be so much fun!

Now, on to the important stuff.... The baby is the size of a PRUNE this week. And today while walking around the grocery store the thought of prunes turned my stomach so I didn't get any. You all should know what a prune looks like. Haha. But here is my bump:

Also, we have a video of the heartbeat that we heard on our doppler this weekend. I couldn't get a steady hold on where the bean was so the numbers are a little off but you can hear it!

Our next appointment is on August 22nd. I will be about 14 weeks and at the start of the second trimester. Hopefully by then the nausea that keeps coming and going will be gone for good!

Thanks for stopping by!

9 weeks and the bean's first flight!

We are literally on our way out the door right now, but I couldn't leave without doing my daily post! So here we are at 9 weeks along. I am in a constant state of queasiness and I am completely not functional if I do not have a nap during the day. My favorite thing to eat right now is cereal. And I eat it a lot! One week until our next appointment where we finally meet our OB! :) But first we are on our way to Arizona for Brad's graduation and to see the family. We are in need of this little vacation and I cannot wait to be home in the DRY heat.

This week the bean is the size of a green olive. 

Next week he/she will start looking more like a baby and less like a bean.

The bump isn't really growing yet because it's just fat. Haha.

And now I must get off the computer so we make it to the airport in time! Arizona, here we come!

Two months down! :)

This morning we had to go to our Prenatal Orientation. It was a lot of information to take in and even more paperwork to fill out. We have our next appointment scheduled for July 27th, which the day after we get back from our mini vacation in Arizona. :)

Our little bean is now the size of a raspberry!

And of course, the belly picture! :)

Next week we will be on our way to Arizona for Brad's graduation ceremony! We are so excited to see our family and just get away for a bit. 

Oh! And I ordered a fetal doppler that came in today! Which means that in a few weeks we should be able to hear the baby's heartbeat whenever we want! And yes, I will be posting a video of it once I try out my doppler.

7 weeks - First Ultrasound!

This morning we got to hear our baby's heartbeat. :) We also got a cute little picture of it!

I think it is finally feeling more real. Hearing the heartbeat was so awesome. We could see it pumping away in there. And although we did use fertility meds, there is only one bean in there. ;)

This week our baby is the size of a blueberry.

The bump isn't growing much as of right now, thank you Jesus. And I actually haven't been gaining any weight! Woo hoo!

We have now graduated from infertility and now we will start being seen by an OB. Hurray!
