7 weeks... and feeling it!

Kevin and I had our first appointment for Baby M on September 11. The midwife we met with was amazing; not only was she funny, but she was very cognizant of my growing anxiety and handled it well!

They provided us with an ultrasound, which was by far one of the most amazing experiences in my life. The baby is the size of a blueberry, and we got to see the heart beat fluttering on the screen. Baby M has a heart beat of 124; perfect for his/her age ;) When we got to hear the heart beat, I broke into tears, and looked back at Kevin who was tearing up and smiling ear to ear... You would have thought the Red Sox won the World Series!

Our official due date is May 2, 2013, making me 7 weeks today.

How far along?  7 weeks

Total weight gain/loss?  I'm not sure, but I am BLOATED like nobody's business!

Maternity clothes?  Purchased my first belly band today... the bloat is making it impossible to button my pants.

Stretch marks? Not yet.

Sleep? Sleep is okay, but I'm getting up around 4 am with terrible nausea!! Unfortunately, it lasts all day!

Best moment last week? Hearing Baby M's heart beat!

Movement?  Not yet!

Food cravings?  I can barely look at a saltine cracker... never mind crave anything.

Labor signs? Wayyyy too early.

Belly button in/out? Just my normal innie.

What I miss: EATING.

What I am looking forward to: Making it to the 2nd trimester!

Milestones: Hearing that beautiful heart beat!!
