Week 10 (Picture on right is from ultrasound in week 8)!
I had my first prenatal appointment almost two weeks ago and everything looks great! We could see little seamonkey's heat beat and it even moved for us! The appointment was really long and the nurse gave us so much information. The doctor's office has been helpful in giving us lots of reading to take home with us. When I got home, I scheduled some prenatal classes for both Joshua and me (even a daddy class for Joshua). :)
Pregnancy has not been so enjoyable for me. I have had morning sickness that lasts all day, aversions to most (or all) foods, headaches, and a horrible sense of smell. And, now, I am sick with a cold on top of it all. Joshua took me to the doctor yesterday and they gave me antibiotics for an ear infection. We both have anxiety over what is right and wrong for the baby.. do I take this medicine or not? Everything I put in my body, I wonder if it is safe.
I celebrated my 30th birthday on Saturday! Even though I was sick, I went out to dinner with some friends. I ordered a wrap sandwich with sweet potatoes in the inside with a side of mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes. Needless to say potatoes are one of the only foods I will eat. I was able to eat a few bites of carrot cake too. My love for chocolate has also disappeared. :(
At dinner, I found out that a close friend (my bride's maid!), Rachel, is also pregnant and expecting in August!!! I am really excited to have someone to talk with about what is happening and experience this next phase of our lives together.
Only a few more weeks left of the first trimester! Everyone tells me things get better then and I am hoping they are right!
