Thus far things have been pretty good! I am at 19.5 weeks today, and doing generally well. Still geting some morning sickeness/ all day sickness, but it seems to be getting a little better.
As of yesterday I have discovered the baby moving! I feel a little flutter flutter, flick flick and it’s neat. I know I have felt it before, but now it is at a more regular and consistant rate. It’s daily, instead of 1x-2x a week.
July 6th is the Ultrasound scan, and I am very excited! They check for EVERYTHING, and I can feel better that the baby is doing good! We will also attempt to find out the gender unless our bambino is shy.
Thats all for today! Check back often for more updates etc…

Today was the best day so far! I had my appointment with the OB/GYN and got to hear the baby’s heart beat! It was so fast! She counted about 160 beats per minute…I was so nervous she wasn’t going to be able to find it, but she did, and the baby sounded just fine. I wonder if it’s a boy or a girl, and how they are doing otherwise…

My morning sickness has NOT gone away! Everyone said, just hold on to week 10-13 and it will go away… Nope… It’s already May and I definitely do not feel better! Maybe November 16th I will feel better!

In fear that it wouldn’t actually go thru, I didn’t post the new closing date. Especially since it was set for Friday the 13th! Well we closed Friday afternoon, and actually got the keys this time! I didn’t feel quite as ill as the first closing date, but still was nauseated! We got over to our new home, and started the big unpacking! My parents came to help us, along with his parent, Pam and Phil, and Sue too! They were all a big help. The only problem was I forgot to eat dinner until 10pm! That wasn’t too good for my nausea! My appointment with the OB is on May 4th and I get to hear the little heart beat! I am soooo excited.

Well, we got everything ready in the morning to close today. I felt particularily ill, which since my last post I have gotten full blown morning sickness. This is definitely not fun. It feels like the worst hangover of your life every single morning! I’ve wanted to call in sick every day, but I haven’t yet. I keep thinking what if it gets worse? Then I will run out of sick days. We drove over to Coon Rapids to where we were to sign all of the paperwork. We got to the Wells Fargo Building, and I was sick. They called us in, and the whole time that I was signing papers I wished I was back in bed. We finally got through the massive list when the VA appraiser called our realtor with some bad news… the water inspection didn’t pass, and there was too much lead in the water! So… after signing everything, we couldn’t close 😦 We drove back home, and I wanted to be in tears. I didn’t feel good, and all I wanted to do was move into my new house, and take a bubble bath. But now I had to go back to the studio, and take a shower 😦 They are supposed to install new filters and get back to us in a week or two! Hopefully we can close soon!

Well we’ve decided to post a blog, about our feelings, and experiences over the next 8 months. Some of you who will read this, don’t even know yet, so we’re going to log everything down, so that you can read back. If you’re not sure what we’re talking about read on….

In February, Jason and I decided to start trying to make a family. Some people said it would take many months for me to get pregnant, others said it might even take a year! Well earlier in March, I noticed my eye sight went south, in my left eye, and most of you know, and I had to have an MRI.

Meanwhile we were about to accept the final counter offer from a seller, at our soon to be new home in the northern suburbs. Well we decided to wait on the counter offer until we got my MRI resutls back.

Well on Tuesday March 13th, I had my MRI, and by 5:25 I recieved the good news that my Brain and eyes were completely unremarkable, which basically means it was normal! This was the best news ever. I called Jason, and he scheduled our Realtor to come out taht night. So by 8:45 we had signed the counter offer, and made it pretty much official (of course the VA/Appraiser has to approve it, but there shouldn’t be problems).

Well after our Realtor left I decided, I definitely needed a shower after a long day, and get ready for bed. Well by now I was already a week and a half late for my period, so I took a pregnancy test, and it was positive!!! I typed in my LMP on the computer for pregnancy calculators, and I was already almost 5 weeks along! We will be due November 16, 2007!

No wonder why I have been so darn tired! I was really begining to wonder why I was completely whipped out from running even shorter distances, and why after work I wanted to go right to bed! No other major symptoms. At times I feel a slight wave of nausea, although I am only going into week 6 at the moment, so I am sure the symptoms will be exasperated in the weeks to come! Anyways, enough for now, its way past my bedtime. Good night…
