12 Week Update:

So David and I went to the Dr.'s again on Monday for my 12 week check-up. While we unfortunately didn't get to have another ultrasound done, they did do the doppler, so we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time, which was..well in all honesty, weird. I didn't cry or anything. It was definitely neat, and I appreciate it, don't get me wrong. I guess I just feel a little sad that it didn't move me terribly like I always imagined that it would. :/

And I asked about the tightness when I'm laying on my sides, and she said that that was perfectly normal, and suggested that I get one of the pregnancy pillows, which would make it more comfortable for me. So I'll have to look into getting one of those. Not sure how expensive they are, but hopefully not terribly so.

Sadly, I was made aware that we would not be having another ultrasound at the next appointment (Aug. 18) which will be 16 weeks, which I was really hoping for to try and see if we could tell the sex yet. So it will be when we're at the 20 week mark that they will do the next, and we should be able to tell. 

The good news is, I've almost completed the first trimester. Only 2/3 + a few days more to go! :)

Also, at this point, still waiting to hear back from Medicaid, which I'm praying will be approved soon. $340 per visit is just too much to do right now, especially combined with the $50+ for my meds. :( So here's to hoping it goes through quickly.
