12.5 weeks

So I decided I better start updating more. I really need to blog about meemaw Christmas and post some pictures, but that will have to wait for a weekend when I'm not so tired. I also think I'm going to start posting pictures of myself, i.e. the progression of the belly, but that will have to wait as well.

I went back to the Dr. yesterday. Everything looks good, he says. It did take him forever to find the baby's heartbeat, which scared me for a second, but he said baby was just moving around a lot. With Baby moving that much, you'd think I'd have felt it by now. Oh well, it won't be much longer before I do, I guess. I should report that I have been feeling better. The nausea is only occaisionally now, which is excellent! However, I seem to have replaced the nausea with a never-ending headache. But I've been assured that it will eventually go away as well--something to do with lots of blood and large blood vessells.

Other than the headache, I really do feel much better. And if you know me, you can probably tell that I'm starting to show. My pants can definitely tell. So much so that I gave in and bought 2 pairs of maternity pants. I just can't get behind wearing my regular pants with them not buttoned (too uncomfortable). And the maternity pants are definitely comfortable. Thank goodness I wear scrubs at work. They'll still fit for a good long time.

At our Dr. appointment next month, we'll get to do an ultrasound and hopefully find out if we're having a boy or a girl. I definitely want to find out; I couldn't stand to wait.

And that's all I have time for now. I hope I'll be able to post some pictures this weekend.

Now that the Meemaws FINALLY Know....

...I can tell everyone that Wade and I are expecting Baby Weathers sometime around Aug 8th! It's been so hard not to say anything, but the meemaws had to know first. I've already been to the doctor a few times and everything seems to be just fine so far. Right now I'm 9 weeks along. We had our first ultrasound last Wednesday, and much to our relief there seems to be only one baby. Right now I'm really hoping that 12 is the magic number and the nausea will be gone after that week. Really I shouldn't complain though because it's just nausea and I feel fine most of the time.
