Yesterday I got a beautiful bouquet of flowers from "I and A" to brighten my day. I love them and they definitely did the trick. The kids were as excited to see them as I was. It's always nice to get flowers especially since I usually only gets them once or twice a year. Tommy said if they weren't gay he'd be jealous (other guys sending me flowers) LOL!
On Monday I started having some minor spotting. I wasn't really cramping much so didn't think it was really a big deal but decided to go ahead and e-mail the doctor and just let him know what was going on. I figured he would just tell me the usual (take it easy, try to rest, no sex) so I was shocked when he said he wanted me to go in for another ultrasound. I just had an ultrasound about a week ago and already have another one scheduled for next Monday, the 12th. So today I went in for another ultrasound. I LOVE ultrasounds! Especially early on in the pregnancy before you start to feel movement. I knew everything was ok because my nausea has been getting worse the past couple of days and I'm constantly exhausted. Even though I knew everything was fine and told the guys not to worry (which is apparently impossible) it's always nice to see that ultrasound and hear that beautiful heartbeat. At my last u/s it was very hard to see the baby b/c he was so tiny and the doctor could just see the flicker of a heartbeat. This time it was great to see the baby looked much bigger. I am 7 weeks and the baby is measuring 7 weeks 3 days and he had a heart rate of 150 bpm. I was so happy I actually got to hear the heartbeat this time. It's a sound I will never get tired of hearing :)
You can see the baby on the right and his little yolk sac beside him. Isn't he so cute! According to babycenter.com he's about the size of a blueberry now. So I guess we'll see this little blueberry again on Monday and see how much more he has grown. Can't wait! I am going to see if i can record the heartbeat with my cell phone next time for the guys :)
I've been debating lately about when to start belly pictures. I'm not showing or anything, although I would love for that to be the reason I have this huge belly. I'm sure that 99% of this belly is all me. OK, it's ALL me, there, I admit it. Still, I'm not sure if I should go ahead and start taking belly shots now so I will have something to compare it to or if I should wait until I'm actually showing (which will probably be a long while).
I fixed a big pot of chili for dinner last night and had a delicious bowl of chili for dinner. Then this morning whenever I would go to the fridge I could smell the chili and it made me wanna vomit! Well, so much for leftover chili for dinner, guess this baby has had enough chili for one day. I had a wonderful dinner tonight. I had 3 or 4 handfulls of cashews and an oatmeal cream pie for desert. Food does not sound good today :( I did manage to have a decent lunch though. I had a chicken salad sandwich with a side salad :)
