The Most Amazing Sight!

I am still on Cloud 9 from two days ago when we first saw Baby LaTour on ultrasound!  His/her heartbeat was 123 beats per minute and his/her length from crown to rump was 0.45cm.  Wow, so tiny!

Baby LaTour & yolk sac at 6 weeks, 2 days.

Yes, I cried.  Whether the tears were from the hormones or the fact that we're finally having a baby, I'm not sure.  But it was an amazing moment for Craig and I in the ultrasound room.  The best part is that since everything is looking good, we won't have another ultrasound for another 12 weeks, until I'm 18 weeks along in mid-May.  Although, I'm sad we won't have an updated picture until then!

I went ahead and scheduled doctor appointments through June (I'll be roughly 22 weeks by then!) so that I could make sure they would work with my work schedule.  One is at a lovely 7:30am so that we could fit it in, but we have to do what we have to do!

Most of my nausea is still being held at bay by the lovely works of my acupuncturist.  I've been able to eat better this week than last week this time, when I was having more "morning" (aka comes at any time of the day) sickness in the form of nausea.  Otherwise, I'm just trying to enjoy the moments while Craig and I plan the updates/upgrades in the baby's room:  way too many to list here!

6 Weeks Pregnant

I also bought this maternity shirt with 40 numbers on the front to cross out as you go through weeks, for photos.  I thought the largest size would fit, but apparently this manufacturer thinks that pregnant women are a size 0 and that spandex is flattering!  Well, it's worth a shot to see if it gets better looking once my pregnant tummy fills it out more!  At least it makes "the girls" look pretty good!

The not-so-wonderful countdown shirt!
