Today might have been even more amazing than the first ultra sound. We got to see the baby again in all sorts of positions and it's really getting bigger. The coolest part was how much it was moving around in there! I can't believe how much it moves in there and you can't feel any of that movement.

The baby was about 6cm or 2.5 inches (crown to rump length). I think it was only a little over 2cm the last time we were there. Wow!

The heart rate was 161. Which they told me was good. And it was good that it was really active. They told me I have 5 days until the 2nd trimester starts. I will now be counting down for that! How exciting!

We got to her the heart beat, too. That was so cool to hear. I can't believe I have something that tiny growing inside me. It's all so amazing! I feel really blessed!

The only downfall today was that we didn't really care for the doctor we saw. I am seeing a different one next time, so we'll see if we like her better. She's the same one a friend of mine sees and LOVES. So I have high hopes that it will go well with her in 4 short weeks!

I have been pretty bad about writing in here. I guess I should get better! 🙂

I have been feeling well (with yesterday/last night being an exception.) But I feel much better today. So I am happy about that.

I am just ending week 10. I can't believe how much time has passed since I first found out. But I thought this week would never get here!

Now I am waiting for my next appointment on July 29th! The weekend after that we go out of town with a bunch of friends, so I'll be able to tell more people then.

Only 2 weeks and 3 days to go until we can see a picture of the baby again! 🙂

OH MY GOODNESS! This was the coolest day EVER! We got to see the baby and the heart beat (179 bpm) and it had arms and legs and it was so cute! I can't wait for the next appointment. Then you can see it even better and it should be able to do somersaults by then!

What an amazing experience!

And they did keep my due date of February 8, 2010…at least for now. I guess these things are always prone to change!

Today I went in for my first appointment. It wasn't too bad. Some blood here, pee in a cup there. Then we talked to the nurse and she wants to do a “dating” ultrasound tomorrow to check my due date. This was because I got pregnant so quickly after being off the pill. So I will be back tomorrow!

Slept pretty well last night. Got up this morning and went on a short walk. It was about a 1/2 hour.

We're going to the prenatal “class” tonight, so I knew we wouldn't get in any time for a walk tonight.

Nothing real exciting for the day. After dinner we went on a bike ride. It was pretty long! I was very tired from the bike ride. But it was a lovely night for it.

I am happy to say that I slept through the night last night! I actually felt refreshed when I woke up! It was wonderful. Of course, as soon as I got to work I started yawning. 🙂

I need to seriously do some things around the house this weekend…for instance, put away laundry that's been clean and sitting out for DAYS! Assuming I don't fall asleep immediately when I get home, this may actually happen!

The day at work went by pretty quickly considering I had no motivation to get anything done. And I ate WAY too much today. Nothing really that bad, but I just wanted to snack all day. Now I need to force myself to have a small dinner. Maybe Chuck will want leftover pizza and I can make something small. 🙂

I went on a long walk this morning. Here is my route. I walked a little slower this time. I think the distance was close to the same as on 6/3, but I walked for about 51 minutes. This could have been because I stopped a couple times to take pictures of things. 🙂

Chuck played soccer today and I got in a couple 5 minute naps.

I went walking/shopping with Brooke all day for things for her shower. Then I met Chuck to look at some cars.

We watched a movie (which I barely stayed awake for) and got pizza. I was surprisingly not very hungry.

I was exhausted this morning. My body hurts from walking and my back is really sore today. I feel like I could sleep for a week. I need to do some things around the house tonight and I hope I can find the energy to do them!

Of course…that didn't happen. I hung out on the porch with Chuck for a while and then we went to the neighbors' house to hang out and then went to DQ. It was a nice night!
