Back to reality. Our 4th prenatal appointment

We're back from our belated honeymoon trip. 2 weeks of vacationing was awesome and very much needed.
Today I had my 4th prenatal appt. Everything was well except for my elevated blood pressure.

Our Third Prental Appointment - BON VOYAGE!

Currently: 9 wks 5 days
We're leaving on our belated honeymoon in a few days. (Our first flying trip since finding out we're pregnant!) That's why we had to get our routine appointment in before we left. Dr. says everything is fine. Dr. gave me the do's and don'ts while on vacation and told me to be very careful with everything. Let's just hope I don't get too sick on the trip. Between morning sickness and motion sickness....I'll be a total wreck!

Another SURPRISE!

I've been sick all week! Nausea, vomitting and all the other morning sickness feelings. I stayed home from work for 3 days. I haven't quite told my Boss yet but if I continue to feel this way, I might have to tell him sooner than later!
Kevin came home and had a surprise for me (and Baby). I was sitting on the couch nauseous as hell. He told me to come outside and see the new neighbors. At that point I really didn't care about the "new neighbors". As I peeked out the door, he pushed me out further. I got mad and went back inside. He said, "You didn't see...look again." I was so irritated at that point. He pushed me out in front of the garage, looking down the street. At the corner of my eye I realized that inside the garage was a different car...not MY car. I turned to him and said, "Oh my gosh...where is MY car!?" Sitting in the garage was a brand new Acura TL, the car I've been wanting for the last 2 1/2 years. I hugged Kevin right away and was still shocked at how he pulled that off. Little did I know he had taken my old car to work and traded it in at the dealership for the new car. He wanted the Baby and I to be as safe as possible when driving and what better car than a car that has 8 airbags! LOL

Our Second Prenatal Appointment

I had my 2nd prenatal appointment today. I measured at 7 wks and 4 days. We were finally able to see clearer on the ultrasound. Dr. Phillips couldn't quite tell which end was the head and which end was the butt...but there was definitely a baby growing in my belly! WHEW! What a relief. I was also able to hear the heartbeat today. WOW! Very exciting I tell ya. Unfortunately Kevin wasn't able to make it this appointment but I sent him a picture message of the ultrasound right away!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Today is my 30th birthday. It was a normal day. I went to work. I've been having a lot of nausea lately and it's even hard for me to eat. Saltine crackers have been my best friend!

Surprise!

So my weekend was great! I was nervous about turning 30...being pregnant and not being able to celebrate the way I've always celebrated my birthdays. We had planned on taking a trip to Laughlin before we found out we were pregnant. Kevin, Maria and I went to Laughlin for the weekend. Little did I know it was a surprise birthday with some of our closest friends and family. I can't believe Kevin and Maria pulled something off so well...and I never had a clue!
Those who attended were:
Chris and Sherry, Daniel and Lora, Cynthia and Gerald, Joel and Marie, Brian and Amy, Manny, Maria...and even some of the TSK guys! (Jesse, Estelle, Mike P, Ethel, Finley and Sam)
We did some gambling, a lot of eating, jetskiing and relaxing. It was quite exhausting for me trying to stay up late, but I did pretty good. I even got a massage! A very much needed massage!
Thank you to those who surprised me and made my 30th birthday memorable.

First pre-natal appointment

I haven't been sleeping well the past few days. I know it's just the beginning and things will probably only get worse. Ahh..the "pains" of pregnancy. The heartburn, constipation, frequent urination and back pains are starting already.
Today was my first Dr. appt first thing in the morning. I met with my OBGYN, Dr. Robert Phillips. Off hand the Dr. couldn't tell if I was 5 wks or 8 wks since I'm so irregular. After doing an ultrasound I was actually earlier than they thought. It looked to be more like 5 wks. He suggested I come back in 2 weeks to do another ultrasound. All that was present today was the amniotic sac or "the water".
I was nervous and scared. I thought all kinds of negative thoughts. I needed to be positive though.
Just a lil' pea.
