There's really a baby in there...

We had our second dr appt today. We got to meet Dr Lacher who will be delivering our baby, if it works out how we hope!!! He seems like a really nice guy. Kind of a dry sense of humor but really down to earth. I think it will be a good fit! The best part was that we got to hear the heart beat!!! It was amazing!!! I can't believe how fast it is! The dr said that it sounded very strong and because of that he said there is pretty much a zero chance for miscarriage at this point. Which was very relieving because we had a little scare yesterday with a little spotting. But it was minimal and is gone now. So that was very good to hear!!!
All of my lab work from last time came back negative and I found out my blood type is A positive. I have lost a few pounds so he suggested that I stop my prenatal vitamins for 2 weeks to see if I can completely kick my morning sickness. It is a thousand times better, but every couple of mornings I still throw up. So hopefully that will help to make it stop completely.
I also got a flu shot for the first time in my life! But they say it is a good idea if you are pregnant because it is not good if pregnant ladies get influenza. So I figured better to be safe than sorry.
So everything looks good on the baby front!!! We are really excited and it's starting to feel a little more real. I took a twelve week picture of my belly, but it's not really a "belly" yet! So I will probably post a 16 week picture. So stay tuned!!!!!

I'm back :)

It's a miracle!!!!! And I am not just talking about giving life to a child. I am talking about me and the fact that I haven't thrown up in 2 whole days!!!!!!!! And I haven't been taking the Unisom any more either. I finally feel "human" again!!!! I still want to go to bed at 8:30, but I feel more like me again!! I guess what they say about hitting 12 weeks is true!!! That's when it started going up hill for me! And I hope that it just keeps getting better. I am looking forward to enjoying being pregnant!! My next doctor's appt is on Monday, so I will give an update then.
