The Latest

John and I were recently blessed with the news that we are going to be having a baby the beginning of September. We had out first appointment on the 25th. We were holding out to tell people until we went to our first appointment. I am approx. 9 weeks this week.

I had a lot of questions for the doctor, and he answered them all. I have been pretty sick. It was the day after I took the home pregnancy test that all the symptoms took full affect. It turns out when I took the home test, I was already 6 weeks. I was nauseous everyday after that Sunday. Then Wednesday night I was up pretty much all night--sick. I called the doctor the next day and he called in a prescription to help me keep something down. From then on out, I have been taking them when needed and still getting sick when my stomach disagrees with what I choose to eat which is at least once a day. Smells have been a huge thing, the stuff I can smell now is insane. All of a sudden everything started to stink---which kinda led to use getting new furniture. It actually just came in today and it smells fabulous. Other than smells, at some points in the day I can't stand the thought of some foods, the sight of others, and again smell.

Thus far, I have lost a total of 11 lbs. I am starting to be able to eat bigger meals now, other than popsicles and fruit. I am so hoping that I hit that 3 month point that everyone keeps telling me about---where they their nausea goes away.

My goal is to keep this updated throughout my pregnancy. My next appt. is in 2 more weeks. :)
