Last Friday, March 27th we had our first ultrasound. Oh my gosh was it amazing! They were able to confirm my due date of October 29th and we were able to see our little baby. He/she is 4.2 cm at 9 weeks. Still super tiny, but we were able to see the baby move it's hands and feet. We were also able to see and hear the heartbeat, nice and loud! It was such an amazing thing to see the little baby that's growing inside of me. Because you don't necessarily "feel" anything in your stomach it's hard to imagine that there is a baby growing inside of there. But as soon as we got to see him/her, it all became real. There actually IS a baby in there :) We got pictures and a video. Both are pretty clear. It's amazing how much you can see, so early on.
Up until this point I have been feeling pretty sick and tired. I am constantly wanting to sleep and feeling really nausious all day long which is hard when you work every day! The doctor gave me a prescription for a nausea drug that seems to help a little. I have also been getting gnarly headaches! That won't go away for anything!! Hopefully just a few more weeks of this and I'll be re-energized and feeling much better!
