Relief

We just got back from the doctor a little bit ago, everything is fine!  Our regular doctor wasn't there, so we saw another one on staff and she was great.  She measured the baby at 2.14 cm, which is a good amount of growth in just a few days, and said the heartbeat was strong, the yolk sack looked healthy, and there was nothing to worry about.  She reassured me that an absence of symptoms does not equal a miscarriage.  I thought it was a possibility when Dr. Heller asked earlier this week if I had symptoms and said she would be concerned if I didn't have any.  This baby growing is scary business!  I know I'll be relieved in a few weeks when I'm out of that really fragile first trimester.  And Glen has been a champ in all of this, so reassuring.  He's going to be a fantastic dad.

Nervous.

I woke up this morning without any symptoms.  No hunger, no nausea.  However, I have also had no spotting/bleeding, and no cramping.  I called the advice nurse and she said it's unusual for that to happen, so we needed to come in this afternoon to check for a heartbeat.  My appointment is at 1:30.  I'm scared.

Pictures!

This is my baby!  So Cute!  The Little One measured in at 1.7 cm.  Just ten days ago, s/he was only .5 cm!  Growing so fast, yet not fast enough...  :)

Sleepily Ravenous

There isn't really anything exciting to write about these days.  No "morning sickness" per se, just a queasy tummy and the inability to be around certain smells.  My stomach starts growling every two hours, no matter how much I ate the previous two hours!  I'm so hungry all the time.  AND sleepy.  Glen works and goes to school at night, so I've gotten used to staying up late waiting for him, but as soon as he gets home, I'm ready to conk out.  I take naps during the day too, which is nice to be able to do now, but I've been looking for a full time job for January.  Chances are I won't be able to nap on the job...I have a feeling that sort of thing is frowned upon. 

Our next doctor's appointment is in a few days!  Monday afternoon, the 6th.  I'll be 8 weeks and a couple days by then, so maybe there will be more to see on the ultrasound!  And of course, if there is a photo, it will be posted here. :)
