Up and up!

We had our 12 week Ultra Sound today. I have been on pins and needles for a week (well 10 really but whose counting) and kept trying to tell myself it would all be ok. I drank my 32 oz of water an hour before hand like a good girl should and when she was done and we thought we were all clear to leave she left the room to go look at the photos and bring ours back. A LONG time passed, too long... and she comes back. She says she is going to have to take another look because given our history the doctor wants to be sure... ugh. I sink. Zack sinks. We both wait. We get another look at our little bean. Cute little bean that s/he is, it doesn't help me not to feel scared that she is back. She finishes again and leaves again. A few brief minutes go by and she comes back, says the doctor said everything looks right on target for the 12 weeks and 1 day we are measuring at! Yeah! This little bean is so active that it was hard get good measurements! The most wiggley of our babies yet, its a good thing I can't feel it. :)

We are about to get ready to go camping but I wanted to share the good news that things look ok and good for now. Sorry I have been so sporatic on my posting and you are all wasting trips here, I am hopeful that things are on the up and up. Afterall it is Wednesday and I have not thrown up yet. :)

Wednesday blahs

Wednesday's are the bane of my existence lately. Today I woke up and barfed. Yeah. That was a first. Then I finished getting ready for work and went on with my day. I felt fine but tired the rest of the day. Odd. Later, about noon I took a nap and here is where it usually gets tricky. Usually I wake up feeling horrible and barf-y. Not today. Today I feel fine! Yeah!! Maybe we are turning the corner... I am 11 weeks tomorrow after all!

In other news, work at Target continues. I like it for the most part. There is still one person who drives me a lot insane but I just try to avoid her. Some times that is easier said than done, but I asked today to have more time on the floor and less time on the truck unload line. That will help.

My direct boss knows as well as a few select others that I am pregnant but not the whole team. I just don't feel like sharing. (unless they have found me online somehow then the cats outta the bag!) I had told my boss that once I got these tests back I would probably share but then I found out the quad screening I just had last week does NOT show neural tube defects. So now I am still reluctant to share again. And trust me its about the hardest thing I have ever done! I am SO NOT A SECRET KEEPER! Its always on the tip of my tongue!

And then there is the obvious! I am getting huge, well to me anyway. I can't fit in most of my pants, partially because I hate things touching my belly and partially because I am getting fat. I guess I don't expect any less, I mean I just did this 7 months ago, its not like my body has had all that much time to *forget* or get back to "normal" (whatever that is). I have gotten some occasional looks at my midsection but noone has acted directly yet...I guess its just a matter of time.

Next Wednesday is our US (Ultra sound-- Angel sorry I forgot to post that- you know that is right?) I should be able to see something though nothing is going to be as definitive as the AFP later, but I think I can take that at 15 weeks at the earliest. I just realized that is right around the corner! Holy Crap! I'm having a baby!!! oi!
