Almost 12 weeks

Hello.  Everything is going great with this pregnancy.  So far this has been my easiest pregnancy yet, minimal nausea and no vomiting.  If I get nauseous it's usually because it's time for me to eat.  I had my first visit with my OB last week and it went great.  Baby looked great on the ultrasound and is finally starting to look like a baby and not just a little blob on the screen.  If I lay on my back I can feel the top of my uterus poking up but I don't think I'm starting to show yet.  I still have too much fluff to be able to see a baby bump. All the screenings came back good.  We also found out what we're having.  Apparently there is a blood test they can do now at 10 weeks to find out what you're having.  Amazing!  So, we're having a girl. 😁  It's funny because me and "M" both thought it was going to be a boy.  LoL!  "T" even mentioned that people tend to have less morning sickness with boys so I thought, ok that makes sense because I already thought it was a boy.  Apparently I'm just going to have less nausea and morning sickness with each pregnancy, idk.  I also did my first sugar test this week for the gestational diabetes screening and passed with flying colors.  Sugar was supposed to be under 135 and it was 115.  Yay!

I had my last day at Petsmart this past Sunday.  It was bittersweet.  I'm going to miss everyone but I am so happy to have my weekends back.  Plus, I can see where it might be a problem trying to work there while pregnant because I'm constantly having big dogs jump on me and several times have came home with scratches across my stomach.  This weekend I have a birthday party to go to for my nephew on Saturday and my bff's baby's first birthday on Sunday.  So glad I don't have to worry about missing those this year.  Plus, my oldest daughter, Alyssa, is leaving on Sunday to go to Washington for a week on a field trip.  Then the week after that Tommy is going on a field trip with Zoe to Alabama.  They're going to a science museum or something.  Alyssa's birthday party is going to be on Memorial weekend, that Saturday.  Then the next day we're going on vacation to Myrtle Beach for a week.  Can't wait!
