My First OB/GYN Appointment

I am coming out of my 9th week approaching my 10th week of pregnancy.  I have been feeling pretty steady and realized that my stomach woes have a lot to do with making sure I am eating often enough.  I feel pretty good on the days that I can get a grasp on my eating but I still hate thinking about eating all of the time.  Not just because I am hungry but because I know what is to come if I don't get food in me at a reasonable time past my hunger.  I don't seem to have any cravings yet (although Chick Fil A and Sonic see me at least 1 or 2 times a week).  I have only had one serious episode with sickness since the kickboxing incident but things aren't so bad right now.

On to the topic at hand.  This past Friday was my first appointment with my OB/GYN.  There wasn't really anything special or surreal about the experience.  It was kind of an in and out type of thing.  They asked all these medical questions about me and Rashid (thank God for the good health He sustains us with) and we go on to do an ultrasound.  I didn't expect this during the first appointment but I was happy that we got to do it.  I didn't really know what to expect.  I know this is silly, but part of me didn't expect to see anything.  As if maybe this was all a fluke but low and behold there was a lil runt moving in my uterus.  YES!  It was moving and the little heart was beating and everything.  It's ALIVE ITS ALIVE!!!  It was pretty cool I tell you.  It didn't really do much to make me feel like a mother yet but it made me excited to be able to watch the growth of the baby over time.  The wonders of conception and maternity and growth.  I guess the nerd part of me wants to read up on all of the ins and outs.  What's happening to the baby, what's growing in there and how.  Its just all so fascinating.  I can worry about the mother part once the baby gets here (as each day passes I am getting more and more excited about that too) but for now I am just kind of hung up on how AWESOME this whole process is.  I am actually growing a whole nother (horrible English) person inside of me.  The wonders of God I tell you!  He did all of this....is doing all of this and I am completely in awe!  Like for real, God, are you serious?!!  This is too cool!!!!  LOL.

Anywho....I know you want to see the ultrasound so....DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!

TA DA!!! There he/she is!  All in tact...big head and all...lol.  Not to mention, that's a pretty good looking uterus....LOL!!!!

Until next time....SIGNING OFF!
