Day 59

Pregnancy Stuff:
We got to finally meet/see Baby C for the first time on Friday!

Heartbeat is 170bpm and incredibly steady! The technician said everything looked wonderful and so far baby was doing great! Let me tell you how crazy it was to see the little heartbeat on that screen. I could have watched it all day long. Unfortunately that would have been super uncomfortable. Ha! I think Andrew was more in shock over it that anything else. I kept looking over at him and he just had a look of  amazement on his face and he didn't say much.
Our doctor is amazing and I already love her. She was recommended by a friend and by my doctor so I was very thankful to have first hand knowledge that she was awesome. She reassured me that it was OK that I was outgrowing clothes and looking pregnant already and also assured me that even though I'm heavy I am completely healthy and perfectly OK to carry this child. Even though I left the office feeling completely violated (haha) I also felt really good knowing that everything was going smoothly and perfectly!
We will get the gender scan sometime in July! Eek!
My next appointment will be a few days after 12 weeks on May 20. I'm excited to see how much baby C grows!

Feeling:
Still nauseous constantly, nothing helps anymore.
Always tired. I slept NINE hours last night and felt like I could have slept four more.
Never hungry. At first I was doing OK with food. Now just the mere thought of it turns my stomach. I'm able to eat lunch and that is about it.
Uncomfortable in clothes. I don't like clothes anymore. I love pajamas. Loose fitting flowly pajamas. Bras are the DEVIL. I hate all and any bras.
Random heartburn. The heartburn is not nearly as bad as it was in the beginning. I think I'd rather have that back than this damn nausea.

Other Things:
We may have found a house! We are meeting with our realtor today to put in an offer! I am so freaking excited! Andrew is going to go take a peek at it and then we'll head to the ReMax office to sign some paperwork and give her some money to put in the official offer to buy. The only reason we're moving so fast is because someone else "might" be interested and we want to beat them to it. Get a nice contract pending. I'm ready for a house. The seller is putting in a new 15x15 patio in the HUGE backyard and then they either have to lay sod or throw down some grass seed but it is super cute and totally redone on the inside. New carpet and everything. I've been decorating it in my head ever since I saw it. I also have big plans for the backyard. They've done some really cute landscaping and already put in decorative bricks for a flower bed and an area for a nice little garden! It's perfect and I hope that everything goes smoothly! Keep your fingers crossed for us!

That's really all of the exciting news that I have right now. Besides me not feeling the greatest everything else is going wonderfully. Classes are almost done (then summer classes start), our orchestra concert is May 2, and Andrew takes his final on May 19 and then he'll be done with school! Things are moving along quite nicely and I hope that any hiccups are small and easy to overcome.
