First Baby Appointment

I learned five new things about myself at the doctor today:

1. I've officially lost weight from morning sickness.
2. My blood type is A positive.
3. Turns out, it IS possible for me to give blood without passing out. Yay!
4. No, we're not having twins.
5. My "official" due date is now April 28th.

I got to see the baby and its little beating heart today, but it's too early at this point to tell gender. Baby does have little arms and legs though. Awww.

I promised some more pictures, so here are a few.

Happy Happy Happy!

On the way to Boaz. Oh the shopping!

Watching Grandma open gifts.

How cute!

Feeling Pregnant

The Evidence:
1. Cried 3 or 4 times yesterday
2. Rejected the dinner I planned twice this week as a terrible idea and promptly froze the evidence for another day
3. Napped every day and still slept well at night (except tonight because I ate some chocolate)
4. Ate salsa and drank milk like they were going out of style (can't stand the sight of milk today though)
5. Had a slightly unpleasant spell which required a 7up and half an hour on the couch
6. Broke 2 glass objects and dropped countless more. Had to ask Jarrod to unload the dishwasher for fear of another accident.
7. Keep calling mom to describe "strange feelings," she tells me I'm normal, then I can focus again. Thanks mom!
8. Been way more sentimental than usual.

A good thing about "feeling" pregnant is confirmation. Somehow I still can't believe it since I don't look it. Symptoms are a nice reassurance. I think I will be one of the fortunate ones who does not feel too bad during pregnancy though.
