Late Update

I haven't posted in a while.  Just been busy and tired, and not always feeling 100%.  I have been very lucky and not had any major morning sickness...a few times I felt like I was going to be sick and was able to keep it under control.  However, I have been very tired a lot of the time, and had some pretty nasty heartburn.

I have tried all the advice to avoid the heartburn and none of it works.  It gets worse in the evening.  Poor Jason has to fend for himself some because by the time dinner comes around sometimes, all I can eat is bread.  I think if I could do milk more, it might be better, but between my stomach and thyroid meds, there isn't much of a milk option.

I went to my 8 week ultrasound last Friday and all looks good.  The doctor felt comfortable starting to wean me off the meds, and my butt is rejoicing!  I will still have a little while of shots while we work our way off them, but knowing an end is in sight is glorious!!!

After I was done with my appointment, I headed to the mall and got me some maternity jeans.  I guess I technically don't "need" them yet, but they are just so much more comfortable than my regular jeans...and I don't want a belt or a button poking and smashing my baby!!  Elastic waistbands for the win!!

I have been super craving Cuties- but I am not sure it is baby related...I always love them and only seem to really find awesome ones during this time of the year.  So, I have been eating my fair share when the heartburn allows it.

Overall, everything is great.  I am happy, Jason is happy, and we are just loving our little butterbean that is growing like crazy!!

Heart Beating!!

We had the ultrasound!  It was so awesome!!  We got to hear the heartbeat!  It was strong and steady at 112 BPM!  I loved it!!  I am so excited that I can't quite put it all in words!  I love it all!!  Next appointment is November 14th!
