Update on Baby Bean

Ah these last couple of days, I’ve really hit the hormonal rage. Today I got my blood test results back from the Dr. M, and she confirmed that I’m pregnant (duh.. hehe). I’m at least 5 weeks along, but she’s guessing it’s not very accurate, so we’re going to have an ultrasound done on December 3, 2007, in B’ham. Dave will come with me, and hopefully we can see our big our baby is. I’m still pretty early on, so we’ll see if anything can be seen.

In the meantime, I’m still sick. Doc prescribed me some Amoxicillin, and so far they’ve been workin’ well. I feel a lot better. The first trimester is proving to be quite painful. I’m very headache, dizzy, queasy all the time it seems. I’m not throwing up yet, but it seems like I’m constantly feeling like I need to, only to be dry heaving instead. Chinese food just smells absolutely horrid to me (imagine that!!). I wake up and I feel sooo queasy.

Today, I also realized that I can’t seem to be the passenger in a car very well. I get very queasy. I hope I don’t end up having morning sickness, but at this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised. The pregnancy hormones are just sky-rocketing inside me. Baby Bean is growing fast. S/He’s between 5 weeks and 9 weeks. We’ll know for sure soon, anyway.

Tomorrow morning we leave for our one-week honeymoon to Mexico. It will be fantastic. I’m looking forward to the time off. :)

Got some other great news, but I will save that for later. Seems like everything is falling together perfectly. Life is sweet. I feel like I’ve worked a whole lifetime to earn what we have, and we totally deserve it. Happiness is wonderful.

Helen, I’m so happy for you. =) Usually, when you feel like that most likely you’re gonna have a girl. But I could be wrong.

That’s so awesome! :) I hope your ultrasound goes well and such. Hopefully you guys have enjoyed your honeymoon and stayed safe!

Hopefully you don’t end up with bad morning sickness. I tried everything for mine and nothing helped. It’s so much easier and enjoyable when you aren’t sick or feeling like you’re going to throw up all the time. :)

Are you two going to find out if you’re having a boy or girl eventually? Or do you want it to be a surprise? :)
