There's a Real Live Human in There!!!

Had the ultrasound today. I'm officially 10 weeks and 5 days preggers. This ultrasound was so much more fun than the last two. We heard and saw the heart beat (nice and strong), saw arms and legs, and EARS!! I'm happy to report that our little shu has ears just like his or her daddy...Adam's ears stick out just a bit! I swear if you look at the baby's head it is the exact profile of Adam's. So special!

Other than the ultra sound, the appointment was uneventful. I had some sickness yesterday. I was dizzy all day long. The doctor said to just make sure that I am very hydrated, especially now that the summer has arrived. So I parked my behind on the couch all day and caught up on TV shows and am finishing reading the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy. I only have about 150 more pages to go! Super excited for all my summer reading now that there are officially 4 days of school left! YIPEE!!!!!!!

Rescheduled Ultrasound

I was supposed to have another ultrasound tomorrow, but received a message that the US tech wasn't going to be there and they had to reschedule. When I received this message I was PO'd. It is probably the hormones, but I want to see my nugget!!! I'm 10 weeks today. Still feeling good and haven't had an ounce of morning sickness.

I've been telling some of my close friends and it has been so fun seeing their reactions, especially because they expected to have heard about fertility treatments first. I have had some overwhelmingly emotional reactions and it means so much to me that my closest people care that much.

Hanging in There

I have not felt like blogging much lately. Probably because I am completely WIPED out! My in-laws were in town for the weekend to celebrate me getting my master's degree. So glad that I am done with school, especially now that I have a baby to think about in approximately 7 months. I have had a pretty easy first trimester so far. Just really tired and my boobs hurt. By the end of the day I feel like if I even brush my boob up against something it is going to sting in pain. Thankfully they haven't gotten much bigger, just fuller. These DD's do not need to go up in size! YIKES! Today I tried on some size 6 pants and there were feeling a bit tight. My friend is going to bring me some of her size 6 maternity pants so when they really stop fitting I have some back-up pants. I'm 9.5 weeks along so far, and we have another ultrasound on Monday. The regular OB/GYN is treating me as a semi high risk since it took us a good while to get to this point and with my progesterone being low. I can stop my progesterone pills after 12 weeks. So I will get an ultrasound at 10 weeks and he said something about another one at 12. I'm not complaining. More pictures of this little miracle the better! = )

I've been debating about creating another blog for talking about this baby growing in my belly. I can't help but to think of all of you readers reading this and hating me for posting about this pregnancy. You all are enduring so much to get to this goal, and I admire you and your strength. I (thankfully) did not have to go through IVF like we were planning, and I can no longer say I know how you feel. I don't know what it is like to go through crazy hormone shots, or sit on a table and have a embryos implanted in me. I don't know why it happened so easy for us once we consciously started trying again, but I just don't want to rub my happiness in your faces. That is not my intention. I am not sure if I'll start posting on a "baby blog" just yet, but if you can't bear to read about whatever I post, then I promise I won't feel offended if you stop reading.

I haven't been commenting lately, but I am still reading all of your blogs and will be catching up on comments in the next few days. Now that I'm done with this master's degree and I only have 10 more days with my 5th graders, I will have MUCH more time on my hands! = )
