Boy or Girl?

Thanks to Holly - I went to Becoming Moms spa today and participated in an early gender prediction study. The test claims to be 90% accurate after 10 weeks, but they study is to test how accurate it is between 4 and 8 weeks, so we shall see. Oh, the outcome of the test was BOY! We have an ultrasound scheduled there August 12th to determine if the early prediction was correct! Stay tuned!

First Appointment

We had the first appointment today for the new baby. I was very nervous to be back there, but I felt right at home when we had to wait for an hour before they even got us in the room. I was super-excited when they took us directly to the ultrasound room because I knew they would probably be checking things out. Sure enough we were able to have a quick scan, as she called it. At first it was just a big black hole, but she quickly pointed out that my uterus was not laying in a good position for the ultrasound. Finally we got to see the little worm - it measured around 7w6d (which technically I was 8w1d), so in the ball park. We saw the heartbeat just a fluttering away! These pictures aren't the best - but maybe if you have seen these before - you can tell what it is!

Morning Sickness?

I woke up today feeling so sick! Nausea, dizziness, headache... This is all new to me, as I had no morning sickness with Alex. In addition, I am so tired all the time! I attribute that to chasing around the little demon though. I was reading an article on morning sickness and it said that studies have shown that morning sickness has a higher instance in pregnant women carrying girls or multiples! Okay - i can handle a girl - but multiples?!? This just helps support our theory that it is in fact a girl!

Testing

I have been feeling tired and hungry - which isn't really that abnormal for me, but something just didn't feel right. So I decided to test, I was shocked to see a "pregnant" show up in the window.

Our first doctor's appointment is June 11th with Dr. Hansen!
