11 weeks...

I had my first OB appointment today. The Dr. had a little bit of a hard time listening to the heartbeat. I was able to hear it twice for a very short period of time, but it was definitely there! Unfortunately, David wasn't able to go with me. He flew to Salt Lake City to work down there for a few days, so I'm by myself for the weekend. I'm going to have a slumber party at Nonni's tomorrow night. My Dr. also said that my original due date of September 9th is still the case! Since my ultrasound was close enough (less than a week difference) she said we would just stick to the original date. That makes me 11 weeks tomorrow!! I also decided that I will deliver at Southwest Washington Medical Center.
I'm starting to feel better each week. I still have bad days every now and then, but with a little help from Zofran (nausea medication), I'm able to make it through the day. My food aversions are starting to go away. Still not a fan of beef. Real food, like a good, home cooked meal, is starting to sound more and more appetizing. I have been craving sour candy, especially grape! I think this little bean is going to have his/her daddy's sweet tooth! I could eat sour chewy candy all day everyday if my tongue and stomach would let me!! For Valentines Day, David bought me a rose and some sour candy!! (He also bought a bag of sour candy for himself, because he knew I'd eat it all!)
I have felt, lately, that I would like to start eating better and exercising again. It doesn't take too much to make me tired now, especially since I've been on bed rest, and taking it easy the last two weeks. Today I got the O.K. to go ahead and work out! Wahoo! I miss that! I'm thinking about doing some yoga tonight.
The picture above was actually taken at 9 weeks. My next dr.'s appointment is in 4 weeks. Unless there's more news, I will update again then. See ya next month!
