9 weeks?

 Today we got to see you for the first time! We confirmed that there are in fact only one of you hiding in there. My appointment was early this morning an hour away and the whole family came in order to catch a glimpse of you. Here you are, a tiny little bean. 

Everything is looking good so far. The due date moved by two days so you are now “due” April 18, 2024, which now makes me just shy of 9 weeks. We started my blood draws today and in two weeks I’ll go back to have my NIPT testing done, which will also tell us what you will be! :) we are so excited! Sophia can’t wait to find out and go back to von Maur to pick out a perfect little outfit for you! Unfortunately we won’t know before the local sale so I’ll have to wait until spring to grab you things for then, at least in regards to clothing. We also decided to start earlier on my GD testing so that I can be keeping track of it all. It was a very long but very exciting day. We also went over to grand mommy and granddaddy’s house to share the news with them, and sent grandma a text bc it was also her birthday. :) everyone is very excited! Love you little one!

8 Weeks:

 In good news, yesterday I was finally able after a lot of frustration, to get my Dr. to get me a script for zofran. Now I am at least able to eat and get off of the couch. Today I was able to run to the grocery, do a pickup, eat, do the kids school, garden and do dishes. All of this after two weeks of not being able to move or accomplish anything. Unfortunately now I’m having the unpleasant, feeling like I’m having an anxiety attack thing I unfortunately remember well from prior pregnancies. Not fun times at all. Heart racing and feeling indigestion. Ugh. I just want to get comfortable so I can sleep. 

Mid week seven

 So far this is the bed day I’ve had in about two weeks. I’ve had minor nausea at different points but was able to leave the house, take a short walk to get an iced apple cider that thankfully my stomach allowed me to have and have gotten to eat several different foods today without any upset. *fingers crossed* there is hope going forward.
