Today was our first prenatal appointment! Until now I have been in a little bit of denial that I am actually pregnant (not a negative thing, I'm just having a hard time wrapping my brain around that fact that we are going to have a baby pretty darn soon!).
I was seen by a midwife which was neat and we got to hear the baby's heartbeat!! It was so surreal and Nate and I were both holding back tears...we are wimps!!!!
The midwife agreed that I am 11 1/2 weeks. She said they usually do 2 1st trimester apts but since I was already almost done with my 1st and she didn't want to make me come back next week, that they would just do all my bloodwork tests this appointment, I appreciated that even though I do not love being poked with needles.
I really liked the staff, and especially liked when they realized Steve was my dad and NOT my husband:)
Our next appointment is May 28 and we will see an MD and I THINK get an ultrasound? They didn't specify that part but I am excited for that appointment because the doctor will hopefully put some of my kidney worries to rest so Nate and I can both relax a little.
6 months.
Saturday April 20 was our 6 month anniversary! Wahoo! It seems like such a long time at this point (ha). It was a pretty low key day and we did nothing to celebrate since we saw each other for about 2 minutes the entire day.
Highlights of our 6 months include:
- Nate had surgery on his foot 3 weeks after we get married.
- We spent 9 days of December in Florida/cruising the Bahamas!
- I got laid off but still worked 3 days a week (what?).
- Nate got a job across the country.
- We moved from Layton, UT to Waynesboro, PA.
- March 19 we found out we are gonna be parents!
Pregnancy update:
According to all the calculators I have done I am 10 weeks and 2 days (I have my first appointment next Tuesday so we'll see if they agree). I was feeling alright up until Friday night when I had my first run in with the toilet. Saturday I stayed on the couch feeling nauseous all day long. I slept incredibly terrible Saturday night waking up freezing cold and feeling miserable about every hour. And today was by far the worst I have felt! I stayed in bed trying to sleep all morning until I tried to eat a bite of a nutri grain bar for breakfast and had to make a fast break to the bathroom. I spent the rest of today curled up in bed just feeling completely miserable and like I was going lose it at any second. I had no appetite and even water had a hard time staying down.
Eventually I couldn't take it anymore and was so miserable I just needed to cry to my mom who sympathized with me and made me feel better. Almost immediately after talking to my mom I made Nate run and get me some gatorade and bagel bites because I suddenly had an appetite! I texted my mom and told her the only medicine I needed was talking to her to which she replied "well we did just pray for you". And I of course started bawling and feeling soooo grateful I have such a great family because I really couldn't take the sickness much longer. So tonight I am feeling so thankful for prayer and for my awesome family, and for them together helping me to feel better! Now if it could just continue 1 more day so I can get to Florida that would be great!!
