Exactly one week later (May 4th), Grant & I went back for our 2nd ultrasound. They determined that the baby was growing and was healthy! We also got to see it's little heartbeat. It was so exciting, and since that day I have been consumed with learning any and everything that I can that relates to pregnancy and babies. I want to be the best mother that I can be. Our baby is due right on Christmas Day! I guess that was God's way of telling me to relax :)
Our next appointment is June 4th, where they will just do a check up and make sure they can hear the baby's heartbeat again. I hope that everything is normal and perfectly fine with our little boy or girl! I haven't been experiencing too many pregnancy symptoms. Just sore breasts, occassional nausea, feeling hungry every 4 hours and feeling exhausted even after waking up! I don't think I would even mind if I were sick, as long as I know we are having a normal pregnancy. We are so excited! I will try to write weekly and I'm going to start taking belly pictures, so we have photos of how fast my belly grows.
I still haven't told my work yet. I'm unsure of what the best approach would be to take. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I was going to wait until after my next appointment but then I will be almost 11 weeks. Also, they will know I've known for a while since I told them that I quit smoking. Oh well.
Until then.... Happy & Excited new Mom-To-Be <3
