8 weeks

So we are officially past the 8 week mark! We went to the doctors last week and were able to see our peanut in an ultrasound! I think it really sunk in for Matt. It still hasn't sunk in for me yet. Even though my boobs are huge and sore and I've been sick I still don't FEEL pregnant! We also found out that we can find out the sex at 20 weeks. I've been searching around for 3D ultrasounds and according to those we can find out at 16 weeks. I REALLY want to do one of those. I'm so ready to know what the kid is!!! Then we can really start decorating and buying stuff. I can't wait!!

1st appointment

We went to our first doctors appointment this week. Our baby is due on January 7. That means today I am officially 6 weeks along! According to my books the baby is the size of a sweet pea or a blueberry. Even though it's small it's already 10,000 times bigger than it was a month ago! This week the peanut will start forming it's arm and leg buds, eyes, and mouth. It's heart is also beating. We go back to have our first ultrasound in a week and half! Hopefully we'll get good video and pictures of the heartbeat!!

Here are a picture I found of what the peanut should look like:

Crazy, huh?!? It still looks like a tadpole, but it's starting to look more and more like a baby. As the pregnancy progresses I'll try to post pictures of what the peanut should look like. As soon as I start growing I'll also post pictures of that =)

Luckily so far I've only had a few bouts with "morning" sickness. I quote morning because mine has happened at night and then all day yesterday! But today I feel great! Let's hope it continues!!

My blog now has a purpose

Matt and I learned some very exciting news yesterday. We're going to have a baby!! It all feels so surreal. My body doesn't even feel different which really makes it seem unreal. I took about 6 tests to make sure it was true!! It's exciting but very nerve wracking at the same time. My biggest concerns of the moment are the fact that I don't have maternity leave with my current company, I won't have maternity insurance until July, and all the basic baby concerns. We have our first doctors appointment next Monday morning. Hopefully it'll be a lot of good news!!
