I just had a doctors appointment today who informed me that so far so good! Our ultrasound looked great, our other testing was good and everything was a-okay! This was quite the relief as it felt like our last ultrasound took forever and the technician kept taking pictures of the heart and it started to freak me out. And of course the technician can't tell you anything so I was worried for the last two weeks! But it's all good. The little guy is doing well.
On that note, here are some highlights (and lowlights) of the 1st half of my 1st pregnancy:
- I still remember the day that the husband and I realized we were pregnant, it might have taken 6 (or 8) tests for me to believe it - but I did, and we were super excited and very grateful that we were able to conceive in a relatively short period of time.
- Sharing the news with our families that we were pregnant was a definite highlight.
- Those first 8 weeks gave me the impression that pregnancy was a breeze. I thought, gee, I don't even feel pregnant - what are women complaining about?
- Then I started to complain.
- Nausea became my biggest foe - and it still is a problem in week twenty, but I am going to listen to all the wives tales that tell me the more nausea equals a healthier, stronger baby!
- Next came heartburn and restless legs/sleep.
- But those tiny flutters that let me know your there is a wonderful experience.
- Then we found out our wee little baby was a wee little boy
- Now it seems our son is making himself known more and more as the flutters have turned into little kicks and punches and elbows.
- Names are hard!
- One of the hardest lowlights is not the nausea or the heartburn, in fact, it's the constant exhaustion. I am tired all the time.
- Tired, but happy.
