2nd Doctor's Appt.

I had my 2nd doctor's appt. on Tuesday, October 25th! All was well with Baby Karl :) The nurse let us listen to the heartbeat again and it was very strong, loud and beating 154 beats/minute! I could listen to that little heartbeat all day :) Then they did blood work and I talked to my doctor about how bad I have been feeling. She said that she felt the same way that I feel when she was pregnant and she had the same issue with not being able to eat and throwing up. I got a new medicine and took it for the first time yesterday....good news is that it did help my food settle...bad news is that it made me feel like I took about 5 tylenol PM's!!! I was DRAGGING my feet at work all day and then went home and went to bed at 6:15....and didn't wake up until my alarm went off the next morning at 5:15 am :) That was MUCH needed rest! But I am not going to be able to take it anymore during the day, only at night because I cannot afford to be so drowsy and tired at work like that anymore :( Ugh!!!

I will be 14 weeks on Monday, October 31st and then only 6 weeks left until we find out if baby Karl is a little Chase or a little ME!!! So excited! The furniture company called us while we were at the doctor on Tuesday and told us that our hutch for the dresser and the crib rails were in! My new rocking chair/glider should also be here this weekend! Then.....on to DECORATING in December! Woo Hoo!!! :)

13 weeks!!!

It is hard to believe that I am about to start my 2nd tri-mester already! I keep praying that my sickness will go away...but it is still here and still NO FUN!!! My mom told me that it will go away just as soon as it came so I am hoping that it goes away within the next week. I am having a really hard time right now with my eating and keeping my food down and if I do keep it down it still makes me feel sooooooo sick :( I have a feeling that this baby is going to be just like its daddy....a very picky eater!!! haha I have my 2nd doctor's appt. tomorrow and I am very excited and anxious to hear what my doctor has to say and to see the progress of baby Karl :)

Baby Karl's 1st Photograph!

This was taken at my first doctor's appt. on September 27th. I was 9 weeks and 1 day at this time. We got to hear the heart beat also :) It was a very special and memorable moment for Chase and I!

Baby Karl will be here April 30...and the countdown begins!!!

This is the first picture I have taken since I have been pregnant! I am 10 weeks and 2 days in this picture. It is so crazy to think that I am already 1/4 through the pregnancy! Time has already flown by and I know that it will continue to do so!

I had to call my doctor on Monday of this week because I have been SO SICK!!! I have actually lost 4 pounds this week because I have not been able to eat a lot or keep my food down. Thank God, the medicine I have is working great and I have felt so much better! It is no fun to teach dance all day when you feel so nauseous and sick...so I am very fortunate that the medicine is working so well.

I go back to the doctor on October 25th and I will be in my 13th week at that time and already ending my 1st trimester!

I will continue to post pictures as my baby bump grows :)
