New Due Date

On Thursday I went for another ultra sound to get additional measurements to determine a more accurate due date. I got to here the heart beat which gave me chills it was awesome. After having the ultra sound my due date has changed to January 22nd instead of January 15th. So far things are going great. For those of you who do not know when I was younger I had a health problem called ITP from age 13 t0 18. It is a blood disorder that causes a low platelet count. The reason I bring this up is I got my blood work back and my platelets are the best they have ever been. But I have to see a specialist for the rest of my pregnancy and starting July 3rd I will be going to the doctors every 2 weeks rather than just once a month. They just want to keep a closer eye on us because of my past health issues. I feel good about it and am SO thankful that everything is going perfect so far.

1st Doctors Appt.

We had our first appointment yesterday. It was so great. I loved the mid wife she answered all of my questions and was very informative. She actually has the same birthday as me. The best part of the whole thing was we got to see the baby and the heartbeat. The baby is measuring a little smaller than 8.5 weeks so I will be getting another ultra sound that will allow them to give me a better due date. As of right now it is either January 15th or January 21st. It made everything very real. I just still cannot believe that I have a baby growing inside of me. I kept having dreams before the appointment that the doctor would try to find the baby and nothing was there. So when I saw the babies heartbeat I could not get the smile off my face.

2 Months Already

The past 4 weeks have gone by pretty fast. It has been fun telling our friends and family about our exciting news. They say you are not suppose to tell until you make it through the first trimester but it is so hard to not tell the people you love such great news. I have felt great up until this last week. The morning sickness has started. I cannot complain because it is not as bad as some of my friends have had. And why do they call it "morning sickness" I would love to know??? I get it at all different times of the day. Besides that and being really tired I feel great. Megan (my sister-in-law) and I try to go walking every night. She is 7 weeks ahead of me so it is really great to spend time with her. I have SO many friends pregnant that is makes it fun being able to relate...

I am really looking forward to our first doctors appointment. It is Friday. I cannot wait to see the size of the baby and hopefully here the heart beat. I am also looking forward to asking a ton of questions. I think that will make things much more real for Jeremy and I.
