Appt Number 1 and 2

June 4th was my first official doctor's appointment!  This time was different than my other two because I was seen at 7.5 weeks and they did an ultrasound. I will not lie I was a nervous wreck, but the thought of seeing our baby so early in the pregnancy was more exciting than anything else!!

The appointment was great!  The first thing we did was the ultrasound.  That is where we say YOU for the first time!!  Since it was so early we could not hear the heartbeat, BUT we could see the beautiful little flicker on the screen :)  There is nothing quite like that feeling!

We did find out that based on ovulation and the ultrasound there were exactly 7 days difference in how far along I was.  I was technically 7.5 weeks and measuring 6.5.  That being said, Dr. T left me with my would-be due date of January 15 the same and said if I'm still a week behind at the next ultrasound, we would bump me to January 22.

Our next appointment was July 1.  Jeremy went with me and we got to hear my favorite sound ever...a steady whirring heartbeat!!  Everything seemed to be looking good!!  Other than me feeling like I'd had a round of the flu for a month and a half, there were no concerns!!!  

Since that second appointment I've started feeling kicks and bumps.  I don't think it will be long before others can feel the baby too! I'm out of the first trimester fog which is a blessing, but have been battling headaches and upset stomach!!  This baby is picky about me eating every few hours or I'm completely off my game!!  I have also been in nearly full maternity clothes since around week 12.  I'm bigger earlier than I ever remember being!!  Oh and Owen has consistently asked for a sister!! I secretly love it! And it's so fun to share this with him in a whole different way this time around!!

We set our next appointment for July 30 and we are hoping we get to set an ultrasound date at this next check up.
