The fun begins

We will be having our first ultrasound done on January 24, 2011. That is my sister's 16th birthday so we are taking her with us for a birthday surprise. I will be 10 weeks and 2 days at that ultra sound. I am so ready to get a sneak peek at my little nugget. My 8 week appointment will be on January 11, 2011. 1-11-11. Kind of cute. Not really sure what to expect but I get excited non the less. When I called my OBs office I asked could I go ahead and schedule an ultrasound and the nurse was said to me, "What are hoping to see?". I told her we wanted to see the heart beat and make sure there was only one baby in my stomach. She said, "well, I mean it is kind of pointless to have one this early any way." I am sorry but is it really your concern if I WANT an ultrasound? I am really considering using another doctor. I told Ali that we will go to the 8 week appointment and if they still rub me the wrong way then we need to shop for a new doctor. At my first appointment the doctor told me that I WILL have an epidural and if he wants to induce me than he doesn't want to hear a word about it. Now, I know that I am about 90% sure I will have an epidural but it is MY choice. NOT yours! Ugh, maybe today I am just in a mood. Hopefully everything goes well and I can continue to stay with my doctor.

Saltines Please

This morning has been very eventful. I woke up to horrible nausea. The feeling of not being able to make it to the lou when you are up chucking is not a great feeling. It was so bad I was dry heaving. Unfortunately we don't have the first cracker in our house. I google everything if I need a quick answer and this morning I need a quick answer. One of the websites I was reading said that salt and vinegar chips were really good for morning sickness. Bingo, we always have salt and vinegar chips at our house because those are our favorite. Well, that wasn't such a good idea and while they may help other pregnant women with morning sickness they had the opposite effect on me. It is so terrible I had to call into work. So now I am laying in bed because if I get up and try to do anything the nausea comes back along with the vomit. Ali is so great about all of this and although she can't be home with me and take care of me she is an awesome coach.

Ring-a-ding-ding

We are pregnant. After 3 long cycles of trying we have finally succeeded. Although there aren't any words to describe the feeling of knowing you will be a parent in a few months, it is fun to try. The day we found out we were pregnant is a day I will never forget. I went from screaming and jumping up and down, to crying and sobbing. The amount of emotions running through your veins is so over powering. How can you grasp that you will be a mom from this day forward?

There are so many things to do before the baby gets here. I wish we could snap our fingers and would know if it were a girl or boy. I am a planner. I am at a stopping point with everything until we find out the sex of the baby. I can't even start on the nursery. I can't settle on a name. If we have a girl I "think" we have decided on Lily Kay, and for a boy it is a toss up between Bronx Avery and Avery Oneal. I like the second one better but it isn't just my decisions.

This morning I woke up a tad nauseous but that has been normal for the past week or so. I am so tired these days that I can't seem to focus on work even. Everyone says my stamina will come back in the second trimester. Let's just hope so. My clothes aren't fitting at all. All of this bloat is miserable and I will blad when there is baby that is making my stomach poke out and not just gas. This is all for now.
