A July 4th Baby!

So I finally had my first dr appt - was a little nervous b/c of spotting that I had this week, but all was well. When they took all my vitals, I noticed I had lost a pound since I saw the nurse at the beginning of the month, but the nurse told me it was common in the first trimester. When I met with Dr. G, she didn't seem concerned, especially when I told her that I was still nursing Brennan. She did indicate that she wanted to watch my wait and was concerned that too much nursing would not be ideal - which I don't really agree with. I am just going to eat and drink more. I am eating a piece of pizza as we speak and also ate two bagels today. Amazing for me since usually my appetite is poor lately! Ha ha!

We ended up doing an ultrasound today b/c we couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler - that was a nice surprse to have an ultrasound! They calculated that I am 7 weeks and 5 days along and that I am due July 4th - Happy Birthday America!

Ugghhhh

I feel so sick - all the time. For like the past two weeks. It really is not fun, but totally worth it! I spend all of my waking hours hoping I don't yak - constant nausea and lots of headaches. My belly is starting too pooch out again too! I am 8 weeks this week and go see the dr on Thursday. Can't wait to hear the little heartbeat!

In terms of eating - it is so wierd. Last week I just wanted carbs - Bagels and CC, Cheezits, Cheetos, pasta, etc..... Totally don't want my morning decaf coffee or my daily dose of chocolate - in fact, sweets for most part sound just plain gross. This week I am totally in to fruit - yesterday PJ made us chicken fingers for lunch and I really just wanted my apple! And last night for dinner the only thing I could put my mind around was a fruit smoothie - yummy! Interesting what pregnancy does to teh body!
