We had our first doctor appointment yesterday, and the doctor says everything looks good! Baby had a heart rate of 165, which is very strong, and is the size of a kidney bean now. I was so relieved after that doctor appointment. Yesterday I was 8 weeks, and my due date is 9/6/12. So how am I feeling you ask? Here are some symptoms that are taking over my life at this point:
-Nausea all the time (no puking, just lots of dry heaving).
-The thought of most food makes me dry heave.
-Everything smells....in a bad way. Perfume, lotion, etc. All of my favorite wall flowers have had to be moved the basement, and the fridge is the devil (and it's brand new!!). I actually almost lost my cookies when I opened up the freezer this morning. I'm the only one who smells these things.
-I've been kind of irritable (poor Bryan). But I'm trying to control this so Aunt Donna doesn't worry about him :-) Sometimes I just need to give myself a timeout.
-I am reliving me teenage years - I'm bringing Acne back!
-I'm usually asleep by 8:30pm on most nights. I'm ok with this.
I know that all of these things are normal, and it will all be worth it in the end! Well it's almost my bedtime, goodnight!
