Can't Wait!

We are so excited that this week has arrived.  We are 6weeks 4days today! Time is going awfully slow.  We just cant wait to get to NM so we can make the announcement! :)  I am definitely feeling pregnant these days.  I was wondering why morning sickness had not hit me yet...and then it hit me like a ton of bricks on Friday and has continued to stick around.  Last night was by far the worst night.  I was really not feeling well.  It is a little comforting to know that the morning (night time) sickness is here.  I read on a few websites that morning sickness is a sign of a viable pregnancy. :) I think we are going to invest in Ginger Ale.

The doctor's appointment on Thursday went well.  The nurse took our family history and said we are considered "low risk".  The rest of our prenatal visits will be at the Naval Training Center in Point Loma.  I had to get my blood drawn at this appointment.  I warned the nurse that I might faint, I guess he didn't believe me.  After he drew my blood I fainted and almost slipped out of the chair.  It was a little embarrassing. I now have a big bruise on my inner elbow.  The scary thing is that the nurse said I will be there several more times throughout the next 9 months. I am NOT looking forward to that.

We have our first ultrasound scheduled for 12/16.  They will do a full exam and determine exactly how far along we are by measuring the baby.  We will be 10 weeks according to my calculations. At that appointment we will schedule the BIG ultrasound. :) This is the ultrasound that takes place around 20 weeks.  It is where they measure all the baby's bones, head size, and if we we want to know the sex they can usually see it.  (We are going to be surprised)  I am hoping that my mom and mother in law will come out for the big ultrasound.  I am guessing it will be around the end of February.
