11 week appt update

I've been meaning to update since my last appointment and just kept forgetting.

On Monday, I went in for a regular OB appt (no ultrasound).  I was 11w3d at time.  I was so nervous that there wouldn't be a heartbeat.  I was warned that it could take several minutes to find the h/b since I was so early, but it still made waiting very hard!  Finally, she found the h/b!  And then just like that, it was gone!  She found it again two more times, but was never able to keep it long enough to get a count on it.  She said baby was moving all over the place.  Apparently I have a little mover and a shaker in there!  I'm going to have my hands full when this baby is born!  LOL.

Other than that, the appointment was quick and easy.  I'm up 4 lbs so far.  My BP was good and no proteins were found in my urine.  We've opted out of any genetic testing, so my next appointment isn't until 3/26.  That feels so far away!  At that appointment, we'll schedule our anatomy scan!!  Yay!

I caved and put on maternity jeans on Tuesday...and boy did it feel good.  They're a little big on me, but they are so much more comfy than my regular pants.  Since I'm a SAHM, I went out and bought a 2nd pair of maternity jeans on wednesday since jeans is about all I ever wear (when I'm not in sweats!  LOL)

Tomorrow we share the news with my inlaws.  After that, all close friends and family will know our happy news.  Everyone has been so excited for us...and it just makes me that much more excited.
