4th U/S - 8w2d


I went this morning for what should have been my last RE appointment. He had hoped to release me today, but since my OBGYN can not see me until July 19th, he is going to keep me two more weeks. Everything looks perfect and appears to be on track. The heart beat continues to get stronger and was at 166 bpm this morning! I'm so frickin excited. To be honest for the last 4+ weeks, I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I am finally starting to feel confident that this pregnancy is going to be a successful one.

As for me, I'm feeling ok. I'm not nearly as tired as I was in the beginning. It's nice not to go straight home and take a nap. I am still going to bed by 9pm, but let's be honest, my pre-pregnancy bedtime was probably 9:30 or 10:00 so its not like its really that bad. The sad thing is that I am missing The Daily Show every night. I swear I haven't seen it once since I got my BFP. Staying up until 10pm is way out of my reach!

I am quite nauseous most of the time, but am trying to combat it naturally gingersnaps and ginger-ale. It seems to be working for the most part, but I did get a Zofran prescription at the appointment today just in case it becomes too much. 

I've created a new page which can be found on the left hand side of my blog called Baby Bump Pictures. It will contain an obnoxious amount of pictures of my stomach, and an obnoxious amount of tickers so enter at your own risk. I figured I'd keep all that stuff off the main page just in case anyone still in the IF trenches chooses to follow me on my pregnancy journey.  When I actually have a bump, I will post the occasional picture on the main page.
