It's getting better

Well I am thinking now that the morning sickness is over..... I hope. It seems like I only feel sick when I have an empty stomach or I eat something that doesn't agree with me, like peperoni. I now can only eat cheese pizza :(

I am 9 weeks along now and I am starting to notice my body is changing. I have already had to start wearing maternity clothes. I guess its all the fun in being pregnant.

Jade has started to calm down alot, at first he was so worried about a miscarriage or something going wrong but now that he has seen the baby and so far everything is ok then he has calmed down and I don't think he worries so much anymore. Every day he pokes me in the belly to make sure its still hard and I have noticed that when I am changing he watches more now, I think he is looking for a growing belly or moving baby or something :D I think its sweet how worried and stuff he has been about it all. It just shows how much he cares.

well our next doctors appointment is on april 14, we are really hopping to be able to hear the heart beat this time. well I will keep everyone updated on whats new and going on up this direction.

OUR FIRST APPOINMENT


So we went to our babies first doctors appointment on march 17. Here was our experience......

It was scheduled for 2 in the afternoon but then the doctors and midwife had to hurry to a c-section so we had to wait til 3 so we went out and sat in the car for an hour then headed back in and gave the recepionist our insurance card and at this time found out that the company we got insurace through wasn't really an insurance company they are just a discount on your medical bills so now we have to pay for the whole pregnancy then we will get a check after the baby is born the for the amount that they discounted us for.... so finding out all this of course made me upset and I started to tear up cause we didn't have any money with us ( we thought we had insurance and didn't need it) and the doctor was expecting a payment for the serivces, we luckily grandma showed up just in time and paid for the visit for us and then we got to move on to the good stuff.....

We went in to the office and the doctor came in and did all the stuff she needed to do to me then we got to do the ultra sound. The doctor said that we had to do a vaginal one other wise it would be to much stress on the baby so we did and got to see the babies heart beat, it was so cool, it was beating so hard and fast it was making the tiny baby move all over. The doctor said the baby is the size of a sour patch kid and that we are 8 weeks along and due around november 2.

It was the coolest thing ever to see that little baby inside of me. I cant wait for it to start growing so we can watch it better and feel it.

well I tried to label the ultrasound for you to see but it didnt work to well so the little patch on the left is the baby, the line in the middle is the cord, and the patch at the top is the yolk sack where its getting its blood from.
