My rice baby

This is my tiny little baby. It's as big as a piece of rice right now and you can watch it's tiny little heart beat at 107 bpm. I was so scared that somehow when I got my ultrasound it would be gone or something horrible. I am so so so relieved that my little trouble maker is there. We're also kinda relieved that it's one, not two. With how heavy my nausea and tiredness has been, we were kinda worried about twins. Such isn't the case, which is just fine. :D

Oh so tired

I barely get home from work, take my meds, eat a small something, and crash in bed. I seem to always be exhausted. I wake up after 8 or more hours of sleep, and I'm still tired! This pregnancy things is nuts! I know I'm not that far into it, so I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to change my diet to add more whole wheat and fruit, but I still lack energy. Maybe it's this earache that I've got that's sapping my energy? I grew up with ear infections and swimmers ear what seemed like every other week and I never felt tired from it, but who knows. I'm going to try the library to see if there are any energy boosting recipes I can try to get Zach to help me cook. Luckily we both have the next two days off together.

Week 5 = barf

I'm entering week five of my pregnancy and let me tell you, morning sickness is no joke.. I had to leave work yesterday because I vomited so much I was beginning to shake and feel dizzy. I feared that I would be moving someone somewhere and drop them. I just couldn't do it. I just can't seem to keep anything down. Zach bought me some ensure, so I'm sipping at that and apple juice (for some reason I'm loving that stuff). I'm starting to feel somewhat better. I hope my boss doesn't get too mad at me. I'm going to do what I can for work, but I'm not going to endanger a patient.

Today I plan to get some chores done. Tomorrow is Zach's first day back to school, so I'd like to have the house somewhat clean so we can enjoy some time together. I'm hoping my mom will drop by at some time. I haven't seen her since I told her of my pregnancy :(

Pregnant!!

So I found out I was pregnant yesterday. About 4 and change weeks pregnant. I did two home pregnancy tests to be sure then the docs wanted a blood test. All came back positive. I'm kinda in my own world now. The doc told me my progesterone was in the 12s when it needed to be in the 20s so they have me...let's just say "taking" progesterone pills to raise that. They promised me I only needed them for 6 weeks, so I'm holding them to that.

I kinda lucked out with the metformin I was taking for my PCOS. I had forgotten to take it since December because of all the things that were going on. I read that you can't breast feed if you took/or are taking metformin during pregnancy. Zach feels pretty strongly about breastfeeding, seeing as most of his sisters had done it and he saw the health benefits of it over and over and over again. I've got a long time before I have to think about it, so I'm not going to :P

My cinnamon rolls are done!

Peace out!
