Week 12
So we had our 12 week appointment today :) Steve was able to come with which was awesome having him there! Everything looked good. Dot is a little over 2 inches long with a heartbeat of 172BPM. Below are 2 photos that we got from the ultrasound tech. It was REALLY CUTE... Dot kept putting "its" hand up by "its" head. It's so amazing how much movement there is at this early. What I'm so excited about is it looked like a baby... well, the first picture looked like a baby. Take a look!

Comments are below each photo.

On the left side of this photo you can see the baby's legs crossed over each other. On the right side you can see the profile of the baby. You can see the big noggin and the belly.

This is the photo where our baby looks like a ALIEN!!! The tech said that it's VERY normal "front view" look at the baby :( You can see the forhead, where the eyes will be, the nose, mouth and belly. On the top of the head is the arm I was telling you about. How Dot was moving their hand up and down.

All in all it was a very good visit and pretty normal. I gained 4 pounds and I still have the cyst on my right ovary. Other than that, everything looks great ;0)

PS - We (aka Steve) is almost done with the babys room and I have been taking pictures all along the way, so I will be posting those very, very soon!!

Week 11
So we are coming into week #11 and I'm SO EXCITED!! I did make an appointment with the thyroid specialist, but it isn't until December 1st. So the week after next I have 2 appointments, that one with the Endocronologist and then I also have my ultrasound appointment. I'll be 12-Weeks then.

I have been feeling REALLY good. I haven't had any morning sickness really, one day this week at work, handing out snacks was turning my stomach, but other than that I feel great! My tummy has been growing just a little bit more. I promise to take a picture sometime in the next couple days and post it.

Last week Steve asked me what I thought about starting the babys room. He asked if there was a color that I would like for a boy or a girl that we could paint the room. My Dr. doesn't find out the sex of the baby until 22 weeks, so we have a really long way to go. Steve's been so amazing and really, really sweet about everything. He was telling me that it seems real to me because I have all the symptoms and I feel pregnant, but it doesn't seem real to him. So he wanted to get started on the baby's room so he could do something too. He also pointed out that when spring comes he will be busy with the patio and wants to have the room done by then, so we don't have to worry about it.

We decided to do a sage green on the walls. It will only be on the top half and on the bottom half is going to be a white "chair wall". I keep saying it wrong and all Steve does is laugh at me. After we put up the chair wall, we are going to put a shelf up along one wall. If we have a girl we will be adding pink accents. If we have a boy, it will be blue accents.

This is the chair wall that we really liked from Lowes. It will look just like this but with a sage green on top.

This is the crib that I liked from Target. I think we are going to order it and have it shipped to the store so we won't have to pay for shipping costs. I really like the white color and I think it will look really cute up against the chair wall. We'll have to see. I like the honey oak color too.

That's all I have for now. Oh, I also bought some maternity clothes from Old Navy. There's a store that actually carries maternity in Aurora so I was able to go there and try them on. It was really kinda weird, but they are SO MUCH more comfortable. I just got some work pants and a few comfy shirts. YEAH :)

9 Weeks!
Well, I'm nine weeks along yesterday or today, I'm not really sure, but that's where I am at currently ;0)

I'm so excited that everything has been going so smoothly, nothing really new here. I can definately tell my body is changing, but I haven't really gained any weight. Just my clothes don't really fit that well. My shirts are kinda tight now too, especially on top :O (hee, hee) I'm glad only girls are reading this (well besides Steve) but he already points that out to me, so I don't need to worry about it!!

Let's see what else is new?!?! My next Dr. Appointment for my OB is on 11/25 I think, it's the Monday after Thanksgiving. So we are only about 3 weeks away from that. I have an ultrasound at that appointment because I will be ... duh, da, da, dom... 12 WEEKS!! WOO-hoo!! I still have to make my thyroid appointment with the specialist (I know... bad Sara).

Can you believe that it's almost Thanksgiving already?? It seems like the time is flying by, but then again I wouldn't mind being at 35 weeks and almost ready to deliver. I can wait though, I'm in no hurry. I'm just excited to be able to count down the weeks, so I'm perfectly happy where I'm at ;0)

I'm still really sleepy, it's 6pm and I could honestly go to bed right now. No real morning sickness yet, just a little queazy, but as soon as I eat something, it goes away. Here's the funniest thing though... not sure where it came from... it used to take me 4-10 times of hitting my snooze button to get up in the morning. Now I might (with a big might) hit it once and then I'm ready to get up. I thought that would never, ever happen. It's so weird. I wake up at 6:30am without even being annoyed. That can't necessarily be a pregnancy thing, but I know this isn't something that I have ever done before, well, unless it's Christmas morning, then I can wake up without batting an eye ;)

That's all for now. I'll post next week with a picture so you can see my tummy. You probably can't see a difference, but I feel like there's a huge difference. LOL... we'll see.
