First Appointment

I had my first doctor's appointment with the obgyn! We got to see the baby's heartbeat which was strong and beautiful. Our cutie is about 5 days behind which I expected since my periods are 33 days typically instead of 28, so that makes the due date on Thanksgiving! I was nervous for my appointment and didn't eat enough soooo I ended up passing out after getting my blood drawn haha. I was fine and could walk out of there after a couple granola bars and some cold water. and they did take A LOT of blood, and I definitely shouldn't have peeked at how much it was, oops. The nurses were super nice and gave me good advice if I ever get feeling like that again. One of the nurses passed out with each of her pregnancies too so it was good to talk to her.

Today I am feeling better after some good sleep and cuddles with my little toddler :)
I am still morning sick but the unisom and B6 helps a ton!
Baths are my favorite time of day now cause it helps with the cramping and nausea.

The best part of this week though is that my baby is now a fetus instead of an embryo! That means the baby has all their major organs developed and now they just need to grow!

I am super grateful that this baby is growing so well. It's such a sweet miracle and I love to be apart of it. I remember one day awhile ago, I was thinking about pregnancy and I was nervous because I knew I wanted to have another baby soon, but I wasn't sure if I was up for it. But then the thought came into my mind "the greatest service you can do is to bring life to this world". It comforted me to realize that it is an act of service. It's hard but it is rewarding. It hasn't been easy, but it is so amazing to know what is happening inside of me! I already feel really attached to this little one.
