My baby

Okay so yesterday I was 12 weeks along in my pregnancy and we had our first ultrasound, and got to hear the heart beat. It was incredible. I cried. At first the baby wouldn't sit still and the tech was having troubles getting pictures, when I realized this I started laughing sooo hard. I thought it was the funnest thing; and then my stomach was shaking making it even worse for the tech. Evan just kinda looked at me like I was crazy. I felt really bad but i couldn't stop laughing. Eventually I pulled myself together and we both started cooperating and we got some adorable profile shots one of the baby all stretched out and another of a closer view. The heart rate was 163 and baby was about 2 inches long. Everything looks good. Then today we had our first appt, which Maggie and Evan were at too. Maggie got to hear the heart beat with a Doppler... then she did a physical and all the fun stuff... any way all is good with me and the baby. I have to do a glucose tolerance test next week that i am not too thrilled about but it could be worse I guess and it is worth it for the baby. My next appt is June 18Th.

Oh and on a side note we went swimming today and i decided Maggie didn't need her floaties anymore so i took them off her and she was not happy but by the end of the 2 hours she was swimming and floating by herself!! that was a very proud momma moment

update and pregnancy

Hello all we are doing well here. I dont think I knew when I wrote my last post but I am now pregnant. I am 11 weeks now and I have my first ultrasound on wednesday I am so excited!! It is getting hot already here but thank goodness I found the pool and our ac works. I have been making a few new friends and one couple in particular we all really get along with. I enroll maggie in kindergarden the end of this month it is crazy that she is getting so big already. Also I think we are going to enroll her in swimming lessons this summer.

About the pregnancy, my goodness it is weird throwing up all the time although it has mellowed out the past week or two. But my emotions have really spiked in those same week or two. But I would rather be crying all the time than throwing up all the time! Maybe now I can gain a little weight that is weird for me to say! It was funny the other day i was wearing a dress and i was talking to evan and all the sudden he was like wow you are really starting to show. I was like oh am I? I hadnt even noticed, other than my clothes not fitting but according to all the books and things I read I shouldnt be showing yet. Idk I guess I am just carrying differently we will find out. Thou evan thinks I am having twins we will know for sure on wednesday!

Anyway we are going to a bbq so I will write later and I will try to not make it so far in between like the last one... granted I was sick and felt like poo.
