March 31 - 7 weeks - First doctor's appointment!


We had our first doctor's appointment this past Monday. We found out that I am seven weeks pregnant and we have a due date of November 16th!! The appointment went well, the doctor said everything looked good. We saw the little flicker on the ultrasound and when he turned up the volume we heard the heart beat!! It was such an amazing sound! It's almost as if I didn't believe I was pregnant until I actually saw it. Weeks six and seven have introduced me to the nausea that comes along with pregnancy. It seems as if it it's almost a constant state of queasiness that is worse or better at different times of the day. Every day seems to be different, some days it's slight queasiness all day long, sometimes I feel fine except at night, some days it's worse in the morning and night with a few hours of relief in the middle of the day. All things considered, I'm handling it ok, I know this too shall pass and it is during this time that our baby's growing and forming like crazy. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as the Lord is forming this baby and that we'll learn to cope with the nausea! Above is our baby's first photograph, it's amazing how it just looks like a little blob right now, but it will form into a baby! I also posted a "before" picture of me so you can watch my belly grow through the months!
