We had our ultrasound today. There was some question on the actual due date and how far along I actually am. Instead of being 10 weeks which would be going by my period, I am only 7 weeks according to the ultrasound. I was a little disappointed only because I have to adjust my mental expectations of how far along I thought I was and how long I will be pregnant.
Anyway, everything looks good so far. We saw the little heartbeat and the baby moving around. The picture looks like our 2 girls....like a little bean!:)
I was so bummed because they didn't give me a goody welcome bag like they did for my other 2 pregancies! I guess by the 3rd time they expect you know what you need to!
I had to go give blood afterwards and my dear, thoughtful husband went to the gift shop and got me his version of a goody bag! He bought a devotional book about finding your place as a woman when you have kids, and have other things bogging you down. It is based on Proverbs 31. He said he has been looking for something like that for about a year because he knows I sometimes wonder where my place is as a woman in addition to being a wife and mommy. He also got some body wash and a few of my favorite candies. SO THOUGHTFUL! It helped me now be so bitter I didn't get a bag from the doctor..:) Mega points for Shawn!
My next appt. isn't for 5 weeks and I only have to check my sugar every other day right now. That makes me happy!
I'm having a hard time being completely excited yet because I haven't been feeling so great. It's hard when you feel like you want to throw-up all the time! And most of you know how hard it is to be pregnant with other kids running around! One day at a time right?:) It did make it more of a reality that there is actually a baby in there that we can see now! I guess I just have to push aside all the crap and enjoy the miracle of new life! This too shall pass......now it will just take 3 weeks longer!

that must have been so frustrating for you! I know even though I EXPECT my kids to come 2 weeks late, that it's still hard to get your mind changed from that first due date you were given (and it seems so traumatic when it comes and goes). Glad everything looks good though, and HORRAY on not having to go back for 5 weeks!!!
Oh wow- I'm sorry to hear about the changed due date. On a bright side- at least you won't have yet ANOTHER October birthday?!! (hey I'm trying here ;)
love you, dear friend
Hey girl-
Boy, do I understand feeling terrible! Hopefully it will pass soon...take it one day at a time, and keep remembering that the end result is worth it!
BTW: Thank you SO MUCH for letting Ryan crash at your house Sunday night. I hope it wasn't too much of a hassle. We really appreciated it!
Love ya!
