So sorry that I haven't updated lately! I have fallen in love with my couch and just couldn't bear to leave it long enough to blog:( But I am here now at 7w3d and with some persuation from my baby sister, will update you all on everything!!
Wednesday night I had my first (and only, to date) experience of morning sickness! I had just gotten off the phone, complaining to my father about how uneventful my pregnancy has been... and other than being severly tired, I haven't had any other sign of being pregnant at all! Well after dinner (frozen pizza) I threw it all up. There really wasn't any warning. I just felt like my pants were cutting into my stomach funny so I decided to go change into p.j.s and barely made it down the hallway before it all started coming back up!! I can say that it wasn't totally unpleasant... it was over fast and there wasn't any bad feeling afterwards, opposed to when you're sick with the flu and you feel sick the rest of the night! I just brushed my teeth and went and ate some more pizza since I was completely starving afterwards! The next day I felt really nauseaus but haven't thrown up since! [[THANK GOD AND KNOCK ON WOOD;)]]
Thursday I had my first appointment! Or, what I thought was my first appointment! It turned out to be the consultation with the nurse!! A.K.A. a complete waste of time!! Thomas had the day off so we were both so excited, thinking that he would get to meet the doctor and hear a heartbeat before he had to leave! But instead, we went over family history and did a ton of paper work! I have my first-real-appointment on february 5th, my 22nd birthday! So that will be a nice present to be able to hear my baby's heart beating!! I also had to go have bloodwork done in the lab. The nurse called me later that day to tell me that my bloodwork came back negative for the immunity to the Rubella virus (or German measles). I have to go back in on Tuesday for more extensive blood work. From all I can tell from my books, I should be fine... but on the rare chance that I contract German Measles the baby could really be affected... negatively! I don't know much more than that about it, but i will let you know what happens after they do more blood work! Just pray that everything goes well and that I'm not exposed to German Measles at anytime between now and September!!
I have my first u/s (as Im sure I've mentioned a thousand times on here) on Thursday! As of right now I'll probebly be going by myself. So I am a little nervous about it... but excited too!
Other than that, I've just been working and sleeping! It's been tough trying to spend quality time with thomas because I'm so tired but we're managing!! I guess I should just count my blessings because I'm only tired and not throwing up everyday and I've been able to spend an extra week with my husband!! My parents are here for the day, visiting one last time! So I'm going to get off and go curle up on the couch and enjoy the company!! I'll be on here after the u/s on Thursday and hopefully have some pictures to post!! Hope you all are doing well and enjoying the winter weather!!
[[It snowed last night for the first time this season! It took a long time to start sticking to the ground, and didn't last too much longer after that! It's all ice now. But it was nice to watch it through the windows... from my couch of course! lol]]
Have a great night:)
