MIA

I know I've been MIA here lately and WAAAY behind on posts but I've been bogged down with morning sickness and no energy. By no energy I mean not even enough energy to even open the computer to get on it and that's some serious low energy. I'm 11 weeks today so I'm praying and hoping and wishing that a little teeny tiny bit of energy returns soon. It's taken me 4 days to do 5 loads of laundry and sweep and mop...usually that's not even a days work! *sigh* I can't remember the last time I cooked supper....or had the energy too! Last Monday, my mom came over to visit and wound up cooking supper for us that night! It was delicious and I'm so grateful for her!

I am so grateful for this pregnancy and can't wait to find out what our little baby is and start shopping! :-) I know all the "suffering" will be worth it in the end! I'm also excited to feel the baby move inside my belly and for Annslee and Addison to feel their baby sister or brother move!

Annslee last night was touching my belly last night and asking if the baby was okay and when she could feel it. I love watching her love grow for this new baby! That makes all the sickness worth it!! :-)

First OB appointment and Ultrasound.

Exactly 3 years to the day that Annslee was born, I went to my 3rd, first OB appointment! Routine blood work was ordered and we scheduled our first ultrasound for Feb 21.

On the morning of my first ultrasound, my mom was supposed to me at the hospital to help me with the girls during the ultrasound. She got called into work that morning and Marshall was working so I called my great friend, Tonya Rawls to sit with the girls. She wound up taking the girls to the park across town while I waited to register for my ultrasound and to have it done. Marshall was able to come...for 10 minutes and then had to leave to go back to work! Oh well. Thankfully my mom was able to take a break and come to the appointment! By my last period, I was 6 weeks and 6 days and by ultrasound the baby measure 6 weeks and 3 days! I haven't been back to the doctor, yet, since the ultrasound so I don't know if the doctor will change the due date or not yet. Heart beat was 124 and it was so priceless to see that beating heart. Tonya is also a ultrasound tech and she said she would do an ultrasound for us around 9 weeks so we could see more and then at the time we could tell what the baby is!
