2 Months! (well, 8 weeks, 3 days to be exact!)

Wow how time flies!  Already two months in!  But I have this feeling that the farther along I get, the slower that time will move.  It doesn't seem like it has been two months already.  Maybe because not a lot has changed since my last update.  Maybe that's a good thing!

I'm still tired. So tired!  I've realized that I need to slow down, at least for the time being, because by about 3pm, I barely have enough energy to walk.  I get short of breath a lot quicker than I ever have.  There are some days that it takes all my air just to get up the stairs at home.  My boob pain has somewhat subsided, unless I'm cold.  OUCHIE!!!!  Still really no "cravings," although if I'm in the grocery store and see something interesting, I must have it now.  Like last night.  I was at the store and walked past the taquitos and was instantly hungry.  I tried to keep shopping, telling myself that they weren't the healthiest choice, but I eventually went back and got a box, and had them for dinner that night.  And breakfast this morning.  And probably for lunch today as well.  (No wonder my jeans already don't fit! lol).  Maybe that's considered a craving.  I don't know.  But they were good.  The heartburn afterward was not fun, but it was worth it! ;)

I have had two OB appointments since my last update.  My initial appt was at 6 weeks, and another at 8 weeks.  At the first appointment, we got to see our baby for the first time and hear it's heartbeat.  It was the most amazing experience ever!  For a moment, doc thuoght there might be two babies growing inside me, as he saw a dividing membrane, but couldn't get a clear picture of anything on the other side of the line.  But alas (I've always wanted to say 'alas!'), there is just one baby.  And that's fine with me!  Our little one is growing at a good rate, with a strong heart rate of 170.  Here's our first sono picture!

 

 



Our second appointment showed that baby is growing like a weed!  In fact, despite only being 8 weeks along, baby's measurements would put me at 10 weeks.  His/her (although I'm feeling like it's a girl) heart rate is still strong at 168, and he/she is 3.44 cm long.  Our little Lamb looks like a gummy bear in this sono pic!

 

 



Well, I guess that about sums up the last month.  I told ya it wasn't much!  Hopefully the rest of the pregnancy goes as smoothly as it has so far.  I'll leave you with your monthly dose of blubber tummy! ;)
