Week 14

Today marks week 14 for us. I am feeling so much better. I am beginning to see why so many people enjoy being pregnant. I feel wonderful! I am eating everything in sight. I have learned an important lesson: don't wait too long to eat a meal. You get unbelievably hungry and it is hard to ever get full again. Trust me... I will keep a bag of snacks with me at all times. I will post a picture this weekend I promise.

John is already trying to make the baby smart. He bought me a MP3 player for my birthday. He has me play the baby music each night.

John and I went to the doctor yesterday for a check up. We heard the heart beat for the first time. It was amazing. Hearing the heartbeat seemed to make the baby real to me. We go back to the doctor in 2 weeks for some bloodwork.

When we left the doctor's office we headed to Best Buy. We wanted to buy a video camera to video the life of our child. We not only bought a video camera but we also had to get a new computer. I must say... the new laptop is a far cry from our old laptop. The new computer will make is much easier for me to update this page. All we need now is a baby to video.

It Is Finally Here... Week 12

Well, where do I begin. Being pregnant has not turned out to be the joy I once thought it would be. I have not been able to take any type of vitamin. The after taste always left me in the bathroom throwing up the little food I was able to get down. I have finally reached week 12. I did not think it would ever get here. I am finally feeling better and eating everything in sight. I came home for the first time in months and did household chores along with cooking supper. I know John will be extremely happy. Bless his heart... he has been picking up the slack.

As you can see in the picture, I have not gained much weight. However, my clothes are beginning to be tight. I won't be in normal clothes for much longer.

My next appointment is Jan. 30. I'll let you know what the doctor says.
