It has been a while since I have written to you. Things have been going just fine. On Monday your dad and I went and met with our OB (the man that is going to help bring you into this world). Everything went well on this visit. I had some blood drawn. I was very glad that my vein was cooperative and stayed cooperative throughout the 4 vials of blood drawn. I had a complete exam done and the doc said that everything looked good. However, the most important part of the appointment was the ultrasound. I wanted so badly to be able to get a glimpse of you again. Unfortunately, the ultrasound machine was not as powerful as the one in the infertility clinic, but we were still able to see you. I said it looked like you were dancing around for us because your arms and legs were just moving around all over the place. Your daddy seems to think that it looked like you were swimming. Either way, you were moving around and that was just amazing. We were not able to get able to hear your heartbeat or get a measure on your heartbeat, but it was ok because you were moving around and that was good enough for us. I won't be able to see you again for another 10 or so weeks, but hopefully when we go back to the doc in 4 weeks, we will at least be able to hear your heartbeat on the doppler. At least I hope so anyways.
As for how I am feeling, I am loving every moment of this. I am still having to run to the bathroom every now and then. Lately the past two weeks I have been getting sick whenever I smell cigarette smoke. Unfortunately, a lot of students at my job smoke and they have been making me terribly sick. I have told them they have to stand at least 5-10 feet away from me, but we will see how long that lasts. Its hard to help them out when you can't get too close.
Today I am 10 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I am almost done with the first trimester. We will see what the next few weeks bring. Until next time.
I will always love you,
Your Mommy
Here is the most recent picture of you. The quality is not all that great, but I am still able to see you.
