Ok, so I didn't post anything after the last dr's appointment. All was well - got more ultrasound pics of the little nugget. Next appt is January 6th, and Daniel will be coming with me this time because we might be able to determine the sex. I am just about 14 weeks at this point and into the 2nd trimester! What an amazing ride this has been so far.
The doctor was concerned that I had lost 6 lbs from my first appt. She doesn't want me losing more weight, so insisted that I start taking my anti-nausea medicine more consistently. So far I have been doing that and have only thrown up a couple more times since then. Still tired a lot, run out of energy fast, but I am pretty sure the weight thing won't be an issue again. I know lots of women don't get as sick as I have been, but I know there are those who have it much worse. At work I am trying to use this as a tool to "relate" with some of the people I talk to (hey, I'm in sales after all...) & a couple of the women have been hospitalized during their pregnancies due to dehydration.
Tomorrow we tell our families! I hope everything goes perfectly, but I know when it comes to these kinds of things that I nothing is going to be predictable. During presents with my family we are going to "forget" my mom's present until the very end, and then have her read a poem I wrote. Giving her a pretty pearl necklace since the baby will be born in June and that is June's birthstone. Then for Daniel's parents he took one of the ultrasound pics and made it bigger and put "Can I be your grandbaby?" on it in a really pretty frame. Hopefully they will all be surprised and happy! I am almost scared to tell them after all this time of keeping our secret (mostly) to ourselves.
Well wish us luck!
