10 weeks and we are shouting from the mountain tops!

We are finally announcing our pregnancy to the world today!  Although, we have already told A LOT of people who have been praying for baby and cheering baby on <3  I wanted to do a cute announcement, and something a little unique that not everyone has done.  An idea came to me when I saw all my cake decorating stuff sitting there, and I had fun with this!

 

I have been the most nauseous yet this week!  I was told that pregnancy hormones peak around 9-10 weeks, so I think I am feeling those effects.  Exhaustion has also taken over- I am pooped by 4pm and literally asleep by 8/8:30 every night.  I am lucky that I have that option :o). I also feel like I am getting the slightest of baby bumps!  I have been having a lot of pregnancy bloat, but this week the little bump is there no matter how much I suck in.  Baby is growing!

9 weeks and baby's sweet heartbeat

I am 9 weeks pregnant, and I had another Dr check up today and got to see baby again! Baby is still measuring perfectly, and has a great heartrate of 175-180 bpm.  Things are looking great <3

 

I have been feeling more and more nauseous.  Often it is hard to make myself eat because everything makes my stomach turn.  Luckily there has been one go to that I can eat pretty much anytime, and that is Cinnamon Life cereal!  At least it is tasty :o)  I feel really lucky though, because compared to some friends I feel like I have it easier.  When I feel really awful, I don't have to work, so I can just sleep it off!  And the sleeping I definitely need :o)

 

 

Eric also got me a doppler after our first ultrasound.  I found baby's heartbeat for the first time yesterday!!  It was soooo amazing to hear that little heart chugging away.  Love my little one SO much already!! <3

7 weeks...first ultrasound

7 weeks pregnant and exhausted seems to be an understatement.  Also have been struggling with nausea, some days are worse than others.  But it is all worth it for the joy that I feel and the miracle that is growing inside me. 

My first Dr.'s appointment was on Dec. 3.  It was a LONG appointment. We got to see baby for the first time <3 and baby was measuring perfectly.  We also got to see the heart flickering on the screen, so amazing.  Baby's heartrate was a strong 175 bpm.  After the ultrasound we met with the Dr, he said everything looks great!  Then I had to give 7 vials of blood-E had to step out for that part ;o)

Here is baby Moody at 7 1/2 weeks
