Today was my 8 week (and 4 days to be exact) appointment! This was the first appointment so I had some anxiety going into it. Everything turned out being a lot quicker than I expected. We did an ultrasound first and it was the most amazing thing I've ever experienced. Baby is doing great and mom is too of course :) Baby is doing plenty of growing this week and is about the size of a grape right now. We also got to hear the heartbeat---162 bpm. After that, we had a chance to talk to one of the nurse practitioners and received tons of information to read up on. I really didn't have any questions yet, but I'm sure those will come up as I go along. I think this first appointment was more overwhelming than anything. It is so much to take in and my emotions are a little all over the place right now. I'm feeling great and I can't wait to continue this awesome journey. My next appointment is July 14th (I will be 12 weeks) and they informed me that they will be doing a lot more at that appointment so expect to be there awhile :) I posted a pic of our little one!
Jordan update: Jordan went with me to the first appointment today and I was so thankful to have him there. He really keeps me calm and grounded when I'm feeling stressed. I never really thought it was possible to love someone as much as I love him, but I seriously love him more with every day that goes by. This is going to be such an awesome experience for us and I really can't wait! He also gets brownie points for taking me to breakfast today :)
Symptoms: Thankfully, I haven't experienced any morning sickness! I'm so happy that this pregnancy has gone smoothly so far. I have been continuing to workout, which makes me feel better and I want to continue to stay on a routine as much as possible. I haven't really had any good or bad symptoms with foods yet. I'm sure that will be in the weeks to come :) So overall I'm feeling great and hope to continue that!
