Well today marks me 10 weeks along. I have definitely notices some changes in my stomach....I feels harder and it seems to be growing since my last pic about 2 wks ago. Well I finally had to move up in bra sizes....I had noticing my bra was a bit tight so I decided I would go to Motherhood Maternity to pick up a new bra that I could grow with in the next couple wks or so. So I have went from a 34D to a 36E...yikes!!! I have 6 1/2 months to go, so I'm guessing I will need to get a new bra 2 more times before the baby comes. I still feel morning sickness...mostly in the mornings when I wake up, I have to pee alot, as you probably can guess I have been noticing breast changes!!, I'm exhausted all the time, my face looks like I'm in junior high....zits everywhere!!! Where is the glow most pregnant people get....b/c I feel not so pretty anymore!!! I am very much anticipating our next Dr. Appt.....only 2 1/2 more wks and then I will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat & possibly be able to see him or her!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Today we our 2 months pregnant...I'm feeling very pregnant. Not in meaning that I'm big and all.....just that I'm feeling more and more pregnancy symptoms! Late yesterday at work I was noticing that my head was hurting alot, but when I got home it was a horrible headache. We only have one car and needless to say Neal was at work, so I was stuck at home trying to close my eyes, drink some cold water and apply a cold compress on my head to get rid of this headache. Finally at 6 Neal is on his way home and on his way to rescue me with some Tylenol pain meds. He got home and I took 1 extra strength pill and off I went to sleep. After 12 hrs of sleeping I finally feel a little bit better!!! So my other symptoms are still there....tender breasts, queasy tummy, backaches, extra saliva, sleepy all the time, craving & refusing to eat certain foods that make my tummy sick just thinking about them and most of all urinating all the time. Well here is my 2 months photo...cant really tell but I think I'm noticing some changes!
So today was my first visit with my new OBGYN...Karl Rudat. Neal & I arrived at the office about 10 minutes early, so we checked in and waited for my name to be called. About 15 min had passed and finally the nurse Tracy called my name. First we check my weight & height. At almost 8wks I weight 128 pds and am 4ft 11 1/2 inches tall. Next we headed to my room to check my blood pressure & for her to ask a few questions to refresh her memory of my info. I had to stop & ask her if I was going to have to give a urine sample due to the fact that I had to go....NOW!!! She gave me the cup and off I went. Afterwards I came back and she told me that the dr would be in shortly. About 5 minutes had passed & then finally I heard the sound I had been waiting for since we arrived....the knock at the door! Dr. Rudat came in and he asked how I was feeling & I said that the morning sickness was starting...no throwing up so I was happy! My symptoms have been very normal.....tender breast, frequent urinating, backaches, tired all the time, lots of excess saliva, moodiness (well who am I kidding...that is very normal!!) and some food cravings! The next question he asked was if I had a normal medical life so far and I said yes & no....I have Crohn's. He told me that he has been a dr to a few women who had it as well. His recent patient is almost full term & has only had 1 flare up....so needless to say I could have 1, none or lots! Lets hope my Crohn's is very laid back for the next 7 months or so!!! Next he gave me a gown & told me to take off everything and he would be back in a few minutes. Dr.. Rudat came back in the room and checked out my breasts and said they feel very normal for a girl who is EXPECTING!! Next was the internal exam...which was a little bit uncomfortable, which I can only imagine & have heard it gets much worse! He said everything felt normal down yonder! So he said that he would see me in about 4 wks, so our next appt is Sept. 6th in the morning, so we will be a 3 months along!! I'm so excited for our next appt...which I hope to hear the baby's heartbeat & possibly be able to see him or her :) Well before we left I had to get my blood work done! So lets hope the test our all normal! I feel so blessed to be pregnant & I feel very fortunate to be giving Neal a son or daughter! Either way we will be happy with what god gives us!
