Baby Stuff :)

We had an appointment with obstetrician yesterday, she checked out the heartbeat and we were able to hear it and everything. Yay! I never realized how incredibly awesome just hearing that little heartbeat would be, but right now it's just the most fantastic thing in the world. I have to schedule an ultrasound for between 18 and 20 weeks, and then we'll most likely find out if it's a boy or girl. I also have to do some blood work for the genetic testing, I have a deadline for that, and I'm already getting nervous about that. I don't like having blood drawn, and I don't like having to wait for the results. The results take about a week to get in. But thus is the life of a mom. I'm also feeling much better. The medicines that I've been taking have been working very well, and I'm not getting sick hardly at all anymore. And I'm finding that the better I feel, the more I'm liking being pregnant. Go figure!

  1. Hi Liz! I'm so glad your pregnancy is going well. I love hearing the baby's heartbeat, and seeing them during the ultrasound is such a magical thing.
    I love being pregnant! If I had known how much I'd love it, I'd have done it sooner, haha! I just wish I had found out sooner so that I didn't miss my whole first trimester.
    I too, HATE getting blood drawn and am TERRIFIED of needles. But, it has to be done to make sure both of you are healthy. Have your hubby go along with you to hold your hand. Worked wonders for me.
