I had my first prenatal visit today. Turns out I was off by 1 day. I'm 7 weeks today (my weekly count will be on Thursdays, not Fridays), and I'm due September 19.
How Far Along: 7 weeks
Size of baby: a little bigger than the tip of a pencil eraser
Sleep: it's OK...I've been waking up sick in the night
Total Weight Gain: .5 lbs
Symptoms: nausea, tired
Movement: too early
Maternity Clothes: too early
Go-to eats: rice cakes, graham crackers, ginger ale
Best moment of the week: I got an ultrasound!! I had my first prenatal visit, and since I was due for my annual she did an ultrasound. I didn't get an early one with Zooey, so I was super excited. It was definitely a little gift from God. I got to see the heartbeat - it was 194. It was so cool to see that little flickering heartbeat. It definitely made it more real to me.
Gender: I really think girl. Even more so after seeing such a high heart rate...although that's an old wive's tale. :)
What I wish people knew: I kind of want to shout it from the rooftops that I'm pregnant, but we're still waiting to tell the whole world until I'm 13 weeks, although family and many friends already know.
What I’m looking forward to: Nausea to be gone. Movement!
Milestones: Baby's arms, lets, hands and feet are taking shape, and his/her brain is forming at a rapid pace.
