Second Appointment

We had our second appointment today and found out that everything is good. No picture of the baby today. :( We'll have to wait until I'm about 20 weeks. However, we did hear the heartbeat and it sounded normal. Really fast. I also found out that my blood type is O negative. So, when I'm about 28 weeks along, they'll give me a shot to prevent my body from making anitbodies against the baby. No big deal. At least everything is normal and going smoothly.

Feeling Good!!

I have been feeling pretty darn good lately. I'm still tired at times but my appetite is returning and I'm able to eat normal foods again.

My mom came up this past weekend and we did some baby shopping and ate out (yummy). I haven't done that in a really long time and it was great! We got a crib for the nursery and I have decided on the fabric to decorate the room. I love turtles and since we're not finding out the sex of the baby, we needed to find something gender neutral. I am so excited about this fabric. We're going to have window valances, a crib skirt, and use some of these turtles as art for the walls. It's going to look great! As soon as we start getting the room ready, I will take some pictures.

The Worst is Over

Well, I think the worst maybe over. Hoo-Ray!!!! My appetite is starting to return and the nausea has pretty much disappeared. That was the worst several weeks I think I have ever experienced. I actually had enough energy today to get the floors swept, rugs vacuumed, & kitchen cleaned. I am so proud of myself. However, once I was done, I was extremely tired so I took a nice long nap with Abigail. She's so great to nap with and she's good at it. I think tomorrow I will tackle our room that has been neglected for quite some time. I am just relieved to finally be off the couch and functioning like a normal person again. Go me!!!

Still Improving

I feel like I'm getting better everyday. However, I did have a minor set back this past weekend. I guess I got some kind of stomach bug because I wasn't able to keep much food down. It started Friday and continued onto Saturday but yesterday I felt better. It was definitely the strangest thing. Thursday, I was just starting to think that I was feeling better and I was planning on cleaning on Friday. That obviously didn't happen. I'm not 100% better especially since I feel like I'm starting over but I do think the worst is over. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed!)

:(

There was alot of disappointment here last night. We were not happy about the superbowl game. Eric especially was quite angry about the Giants winning. However, we still have our flag hanging outside in support of the Patriots. They had a great season. There's always next year!

Superbowl Sunday

We're getting geared up for the big game tonight. Eric's parents got us some Patriot shirts and a flag to show our support. We are definitely ready to see the Patriots win tonight. Go Patriots!!!!!
