I have this little one inside of me! Is that weird or what?
I'm 9 weeks along and feeling every minute of it. The vomiting began a few weeks ago and has become a pretty regular (every-other-day) occurrence. I feel nauseous for a few hours in the morning, a couple hours in the afternoon, and sometimes at night. I have absolutely no energy about 6 days out of the week. However, I consider these good signs that the baby is growing! I have no real cravings yet, but McDonalds and french fries are about the only things that sound edible to me. This does not mean that I eat McDonalds all the time; maybe once a week. I do snack on those french fries at work though, that's for sure! My doctor told me I need to start forcing myself to eat little snacks throughout the day (easier said than done), since nausea usually comes with an empty stomach. He was listing off foods I could keep by my bed and eat first thing when I wake up: "Crackers, Oreos..." Okay, no need to go any further. I stopped listening at Oreos. Hey, doctor's orders!
Anyway, we love this little peanut so much already. The first ultrasound was so much fun! We got to see the little arms and legs moving around (does that mean our child will have ADHD?). It felt just so surreal. I'm due April 19th, 2013. ~Whew! Hopefully we're safe from having another May birthday!~ We're dying to know what we're having. So far we've cleared out the room across from ours; which was the office. I want to start decorating but it's early still, and it would be a lot easier if we knew what we were having. Soon enough though!
October 5th we get to hear the heartbeat! ♥
