Baby Diary Jan 24th - 26th 2011

On the 24th I had my first ultrasound, Michael (the baby's father) came with me. It was really something seeing that little person wiggle around on the screen, we were both pretty surprised at how far along I was, how developed the baby was already. It got very real right then. We were both smiling, it was really cute, we saw it's little heart just beating away. I still can't believe there's a little person growing inside me right now. On the 26th I had my first OBGYN appointment, I got to actually hear the heartbeat then on her little doppler device, it was so sweet! The doctor wanted me to take the hour glucose test that day because I am overweight and had had hypothyroid issues in the past. I'm still waiting for the results! I'm just hoping it comes out normal! I would hate having to go to the doctor everyday to get my blood checked. Oh the worries are going to come by the millions now...

Baby Diary Jan 18th 2011 - Jan 20th 2011

I found out on the 18th of January that I was 13 weeks pregnant! I must have been in denial, becuase the only symptom seemed to be a missing period, after my sister had had hers for the third time, I was like okay something is up here! It is not uncommon for me to skip a period or two, but three was definitely not normal. So she goes out to buy me a test, the dear heart that she is, and I take it, it's a very "plus" plus sign, showed up instantly. I was in shock.... I called the doctor the next day to get a blood test, they told me to come in that day, and again the results were very positive! The nurse that called to tell me even said I was "very pregnant" haha. So the next day I had to come in to get even more blood drawn, so I picked up my prenatal vitamins while I was there and started taking them that day! Needless to say I was still in shock at this point.
