Heart Beat

Yesterday was my appointment with the doctor and everything went well. I was able to hear the heartbeat and it was a strong 160 beats a minute. I have been feeling sick the past several days so she was a little concerned that I might have a virus. I was running a temperature of 100.4 which is considerably higher than my normal 97.4. My blood pressure has also been elevated due to the intense pain of the headache and the fever but it was down today when I checked it. The doctor also prescribed some pain killers for the headache that have been working pretty well, I just don't want to take any more of them than I absolutely have to since they are narcotics and I'm not entirely convinced that it's safe for the baby.

Please keep us in your prayers that I can get over this quickly and get back to work. God bless!

12 weeks!

As of last Thursday I am into week 12. For most people this would mean an end to morning sickness, evidently I'm not most people. Other than the constant nausea and extreme fatigue I'm feeling okay. I've stopped losing weight and am now just holding steady. I have another doctor's appointment on Wednesday so hopefully we will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time. Currently the baby is about the size of a plum. It just seems so unreal to think about the fact that there is a tiny little person inside of me. I can't wait to find out if it's a boy or girl but we've got another 8 weeks before that happens. If I am able to record the heartbeat on Wednesday I will post it on here.

God Bless!
