11 week ultrasound

I had my first appointment with my OB on monday. Everything was great and looking good. My next appointment is for Feb 11 (i think) with the other doctor in the practice. Should be able to hear the heartbeat by then LOL.

I also had all my bloodwork done (fun fun fun) yuck. But at least it's done for a few weeks lol.

Also scheduled my ultrasounds. I get an ultrasound every two weeks until the end of April. So I get to see lots of my baby.

I had the first one today. Everything looked great the baby was moving around and I saw it's little arms and legs. So cute! Heartbeat was 180 BPM

So Sick

Ugh I feel horrible. I've got a horrible head cold. Sore throat, congestion, runny nose, just a general yucky feeling and the worst part is I CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING FOR IT. I called my doctor and was told tylenol only. I don't need tylenol I need something stronger so I'm getting ready to go back to bed because at least when I'm sleeping I feel ok LOL.

I'm Pregnant!

Yep that's right! Dave and I are expecting a baby! I'm currently 9 weeks 5 days and it's going well. I am high risk because of my previous losses but that's ok because it means I get to see the doctor every two weeks and I've already had two ultrasounds. I should be getting an ultrasound at least every month if not more often. Which I think is awesome. It's so wonderful getting to see our baby grow.
I was seeing a Fertility Specilist (RE) and I was released from his care on Monday and am now seeing my regular OB whom I adore. He's very nice and really cares about his patients. I have my first OB appointment on January 14th. I've already seen the RE twice (monday being the last time) and got my two ultrasounds with him. First was on 12/10 and I saw the heartbeat! Then on Monday I went and actually got to see the baby. With little legs and arms and everything. Very cute. My due date is August 3 (doctor says August 5th but I'm measuring a couple days ahead lol)
Here is the picture of our little one. We're very excited!
