Not Much New

It's been a couple of weeks since I've written, but really there's not much new going on. Aaron and I visited family this past week which we really enjoyed even though it ment lots of driving. I did surprisingly well during the car rides to Ames, Elgin and then back home. Thanks to everyone for my birthday gifts as well as the baby gifts we recieved. For Beth and Justin - Aaron did get the books to me unopened. :) Thank you so much for them!
Finally, since everyone keeps asking me how I've been feeling - I've been doing great! No more nausea or throwing up. Some strong smells still make me dry heave on occasion, but all in all I feel wonderful.

Visit with the Doc

Well yesterday was another prenatal visit with the doc. It went pretty much the same as the previous one. Once again we heard the heartbeat which is still amazing. Maybe we can buy one of those things where we can listen ourselves at home and then let the grandparents-to-be hear too when we visit in another week. Our next appointment is in another 4 weeks and the doc said we'll be doing lab work at that time as well. Lucky me. I just hope they aren't going to be taking too much blood - the thyroid tests take 2 vials themselves, although the nurse who takes the blood said once that they can usually get by with just one. Wish they would stick to just one. Last time I had a lot taken - 4 vials and they were testing my cholesterol so I had to fast - I ended up passing out right at the end. Granted I won't need to fast this time, but I still am hoping they won't be taking more than 3. I can handle 3. The doctor also said that another 4 weeks later - so about 8 from now - we will get to have another ultrasound and they should be able to tell the sex of the baby. And for those who don't know already I DON'T want to know before hand if it is a boy or a girl.

Movement?

So twice last week I thought I felt the baby move. Of course from what I've read I shouldn't be feeling movement just yet, although they say that the skinnier you are the sooner you should be able to feel the baby move. Not ever having been pregnant before I have no idea if I really did feel the baby or if it was just gas, my imagination, or just wishful thinking. Regardless, I think I'm going to go with it was the baby. :)
