Pregnancy Week 6/7 and First Ultrasound
The poll is still up, but it looks like the winner is going to be calling it the week I'm in. With that, I'm in week 7. I'm also sick as hell. Last week and through Saturday, starting around 3 or 4pm, I was sick. Sunday it started at 12:30pm. Today...upon waking. Really, it never fully went away from Sunday. Ugh. I'll get through it though. I'm halfway through the first trimester and it gets better then, right?!?!?!?
On to the exciting news. We have a very healthy pregnancy. We had our first ultrasound this morning. The doctor was looking around and said to us "Ok, now let's see if they both have heartbeats." That's right, folks - BOTH. And yes, they both had happy little flickering hearts. So add me to the expecting twins list! We're totally in shock, but also just so happy! We have to scan the pics in, so I should hopefully have those up tomorrow.
And now....I'm going back to wallow in nausea.

Pregnancy: Week 5/6
First off, I know how confusing the pregnancy weeks thing is. Tomorrow I will have completed my 6th week, so I'll be 6 weeks pregnant, but I'll be in my 7th week. Crazy, I know. So I'm leaving it up to you guys as to how you want me to count my weeks. Apparently I really confused some people last week with the "Pregnancy Week 5." I was in my 5th week, and now I'm in my 6th. So, pick the week I'm in, or the week I've completed. You decide! I'm putting a poll on the blog. I'll leave it open until I complete my 7th week, so next Wednesday.
Now, not much new going on in the way of symptoms. I'm exhausted and have horrible gas pains, but I'm getting used to everything and just truckin' along now....and waiting for the morning sickness to hit. My best friend was so sweet to bring me a big tote full of her maternity clothes. Unfortunately they fit me now. The pants will work - some just at first and others probably most if not all the way through, but the tops barely fit my boobs now - and they haven't even grown yet! After going through all of the clothes and trying them on, I decided to look around online to see what was available in plus size maternity. Wow. A whole lot of ugly crap. I'm totally bummed over this. I was so looking forward to dressing up my bump. Oh well - more money for dressing my actual baby!
Hope everyone is well!
