Well, we had our first OB appointment today (and we LOVE him - Davena it is the same doctor you had and he is wonderful!) and we got to see our little bean!!! I never thought I would think a little blob on a screen was so incredible or beautiful! We will put up a couple ultrasound pics soon...
The doctor said everything looks great - the baby is good and I am good. He told me I need to gain 30 pounds during the pregnancy and that I am thin...I am taking that as a compliment :) So cookies here I come! They did quite a few tests, which I expected, so we will be told if anything looks out of the norm in the next week or so. All so exciting and unreal...we are SO blessed! Oh...and Nick learned what stirrups are today...hahaha!
So symptoms for me so far:
Pretty much the same - tired, a little morning sickness and weird cravings (Salt and Vinegar chips are the BEST!)
The baby is the size of a kidney bean this week...so tiny! The brain has formed and the feet and hands have webbed fingers and toes :)
Other than that, we are just trying to be healthy and are learning how to be expectant parents. There is no rest for the wicked over here in the Bales fam :)
More next week...
