WE HAVE A HEARTBEAT!!!!
OMG! The feeling is so amazing to see that little tiny heart blinking away on the ultrasound screen. And then our Doc blasted the volume and we could hear it!! G's eyes teared up, I stayed sorta shocked it was finally there. The doc said it sounded very strong, but in all the excitement I forgot to ask her how fast it was going. Wow. We're having a baby! We have been blessed with a heartbeat and I pray for a healthy baby.
Well I am SUPER sick with this morning [ALL DAY] sickness business, so I can't think of more to post right now. I finally threw up this morning which sucked. I hope it doesn't get worse, because man this sucks. The constant nausea and not being able to eat or drink. I'm finally stomaching some fruit and ginger ale. I feel ok right now so hopefully i can have a good dinner.
We have a heartbeat!!! I'll scan in the ultrasound picture later. So excited!
Oh yeah! And I measured 6 weeks 5 days, so I was right on target! YAY! EDD is August 2, 2008.

Pregnant Face
Yesterday I was at my mom's house, and her distant cousin was there too. My mom tells me today that this lady asked her if I was pregnant! She said she could see it in my face, and that she's never been wrong. She has told women [in the past] that they are pregnant before the women even know it. Crazy right? So my mom told her I was, but that we weren't telling anyone yet. The lady wanted to say something to me, but didn't think it was her place. I can't believe it. I mean I have heard of women who can see it, but the fact that someone saw it in me? It's just short of awesome! :D Little things like this [and the extreme nausea as of late] can be really comforting. 2 more days for our appointment! I can barely sleep just thinking about it.

Gag me with a spoon...or toothbrush...
You know what sucks? Trying to think of what to make for dinner when you're nauseous. I do not want anything right now. I've noticed that I start to feel sick when I start to get hungry. Or just before. I need to start bringing healthy snacks to work. I think I might have to start cooking lots of food on the weekends and freezing it. Although I've never been one to freeze food. Not sure how to go about it either. Well that was a short-lived idea. Ugh. I don't know what we're having for dinner tonight, but I'm already hungry [but feel like nothing]. Wish G would just cook...anything...anything at all.
On the bright side - 1 more week till our 1st appointment! Man I can't wait. This last week better not drag on.

Strength in small numbers
It's hard being so strong all the time. No matter what happens in life, I try to be strong and have a positive attitude to be able to move on. But sometimes....human nature takes over and the weakness sets in. Sometimes only occupying space for a moment....other times for much more than that. Thankfully I only have "moments." And when those moments hit I allow myself to sulk in the moment. Just for a second...as if to remember how terrible it feels...and how much I don't want to feel that way.
Last night I had one of those moments. Let me first say that I had been feeling great lately [aside from the constant nausea]. I had not worried or over analyzed. I think I owe a lot to that nausea. It is somewhat comforting to have it so bad this time around. I didn't feel sick at all last time. It's like a confirmation that this is and will be a viable pregnancy. Anyway....back to my moment. I notice yesterday that I was going to start spotting. Now, I'm telling myself it's old blood and not to worry. It happens and means nothing most of the time. I know. BUT considering how that didn't turn out so well last time...well...it just sorta got me. I literally got scared at the thought of what could be, once again. So I sulked for a minute and let G hold me and make me feel safe. There's just something about being in the arms of the man you love that comforts you like nothing else. Everything starts to feel ok.
The great thing is that we don't have to wait as long for our first ultrasound. 1 week and 2 days till we see a tiny beating heart. I know we'll see it. I know I'll be nervous wreck that day, but I can't wait.
