We had our first doctor's appointment this week November 13, 2013. I have been waiting for this appointment for a looong time. I haven't really experienced any symptoms and so I have been extremely nervous about having a miscarriage. I said a lot of prayers and asked Heavenly Father to make me nauseas. I know... I can't believe I asked for that either. But he definitely answered my prayers that week. So I go in for my first doctors appointment and I am nine weeks along. I was extremely happy because I figured I would only have symptoms for about 3 more week which is perfect because teaching and being nauseas is, well, awful. So we go in there and they do that incredibly uncomfortable ultra sound. But I didn't care. I just wanted to see a little baby on the screen with a heartbeat. I seriously was holding my breath. After a few minutes of it being quiet in the room, I said, "So, is there a baby somewhere up there?" {I am a little awkward.} She told me that we were, in fact, looking at the baby right now. I perked up and asked, "Where?" about five times in a row {I am slightly impatient}. Then we saw the most beautiful grain of rice on the screen. It's heart was beating impeccably fast and I just squeezed Trent's hand. That is OUR baby. That grain of rice has a heart beat! It's so strong. For that baby to survive in my stressed out, constantly going at a 100 mph body it must be a beast.
Then, the ultrasound tech said, "Hmm.... well, your not as far as we thought you were." She then proceeded to tell me that I was 6 weeks along. 6 WEEKS. Can you believe it? 6 more weeks until I finish my first trimester. 6 more weeks of nausea and wanting to start crying every time a student draws me a picture of a flower. So... 6 weeks down and 6 more to go! Bring it on baby...
You wanna know the greatest part about the first trimester??? It ENDS! Hang in there, it gets better...or at least different :)
