First Ultrasound

OK so I had my first ultrasound last week and that was very exciting. At first it kinda sucked because the ultrasound tech informed me that I have what's called a 'tilted uterus' and that means that instead of being up and down like most women's are, mine tilts off to the side. So effectively that means the baby is back towards my back. Which according to the tech explains why my back hurts so badly if I sit still for too long.

Anyway right at first this was a problem because a lot of my internal organs are in front of the baby in such a way that we were having a hard time seeing it. The tech had to dig around in my stomach for quite awhile with the little nobby thing...I have no idea what it's called all of a sudden.... We kept seeing the baby briefly but then intestines and things would start moving back in front of it and poof it was gone. Finally she managed to get my organs to cooperate and stay out of the way so we could see the baby for awhile. It has legs and arms and fingers and toes and you could see it's tummy (which the tech says means it's eating now so that's a good thing). It was sleeping most of the time. We got it to wake up for a second and it kinda waved it's little arms at us angrily and then went back to sleep :)

So I guess I find out what it's going to be sometime in the middle of July and I'm still thinking it's a girl no matter how many people tell me they think it's a boy. So there! :P lol...

Here are some pics...

Bad Pic and Failing Brains

Yeah so I had Josh's Mom take this picture of me yesterday and I look terrible. I guess the whole purpose of the picture was to show my growing tummy but did I have to look like one of those zombie things from Dawn of the Dead???







Also I seem to be losing my mind. I already noticed that I can't seem to remember anything people tell me at work like I used to be able to do. Everyone who knows how I work knows that A) I'm usually a very hard worker and get everything done within minutes of being asked to do it and B) I write requests I don't have time to get to at that very moment on sticky notes. Now that usually means requests that I won't have time to get to within the next hour or day...not within the next 5 minutes. Now if someone asks me to do something and I don't write it down write away...well they might as well ask again!

And I locked Josh and I out of the house today...good one. Thanks Bri for coming over to let us back in. I was about to kill the dogs for getting their nasty faces all over my pants!

Catching up...

Yeah so I officially suck at blogging...I haven't been on here for over a month a I feel like a lazy blob...but I feel like that anyway so oh well.

Let's see things that have happened since the last time I did this:

I had my first doctor's appt. on April 11th. Nothing terribly interesting except for they took a bunch of my blood and I'm convinced that's what officially kicked in my morning sickness. I feel like I've been throwing up ever since...but more about that later...Anyways I have my next and much more interesting appt. on May 23rd. I get to hear the heartbeat and we're having an ultrasound too I guess to make sure all the dates are correct. Oh yeah my due date is Novemeber 30th currently but that could change based off the ultrasound.

Morning sickness...I swore I would never complain about this because it's only temporary and all that jazz...but I've been so horribly sick. It got to the point where I hadn't been able to eat or drink anything for days because I was just throwing it all back up. So my doc put me on some nifty meds that make me feel much better. Except I started feeling too good and I got a little neurotic over it. Ask just about anybody at Waxie. I think I talked to everyone about it. I actually quit taking the medication just to see if I would get sick again. And I did so that makes me feel better for some strange reason...

Other than that I've just been working...and tired...and that's about all. I'm taking a trip in a couple of weeks to see my brother graduate high school in Indiana so that should be fun. I'm really very excited about the whole thing. And I leave the day after my ultrasound so I'm hoping I'll get some pictures to take and show him and my bio dad. They are both very excited about the baby :)

Well I'm done blabbering for now...
