Eight weeks


On May 1st, we had our second ultrasound and all looks good and right on track. The only issue we have is that my uterus is tilted and makes for bad picture taking at this point in the pregnancy. I'll take this problem anytime as long as the baby is health.

Last weekend I saw my mom for the first time since Christmas and thought it was the perfect time to tell her about our newest addition. I told her by giving her an early Mother's day present with one of the sonogram pictures in it a pictureframe that read, "Great Moms make great Grandmas." It took her a moment to understand what I was saying, but once she realized what was in the picture frame she started to cry. I can't believe I was finally able to surprise her!

After our second ultrasound, the RE released me to a regular OB/GYN, which I saw on Friday afternoon. It was a great appointment and I remembered as soon as the doctor walked into the room why I go to this practice. She did another ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy (for their office since I already knew I was pregnant). My next appointment is at the end of the month and I'll be just about 12 weeks.

I'm feeling pretty good. Somedays are better than others with the nausea and tiredness. My pants are getting a little tight. I think it is due to being bloated since I've only gained three lbs or so, but it is frustrating all the same. I'm just not comfortable in any of my clothes at the moment. Oh well... I'm sure it is only going to get worse and I'm up for it.
