We went to our first Dr.s appointment yesterday and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I got out of getting a pap smear which was nice. I noticed that I lost 3lbs from pre-conception which she said isn't abnormal considering how I have been feeling. When she did the ultrasound I had to show her how to work the machine (a machine that I've never used, but they all are basically the same). She wasn't going to measure the heart rate until I showed her. The baby has doubled in size and I can see the rhombencephlon (the black space in the head). This is the beginning of the hindbrain formation. The baby (embryo) is about the size of a blueberry now and its arms and legs are getting ready to pop out. This was Mikes first time seeing the heartbeat and he thought it was pretty cool.
I still feel crappy. I am puking more often now and praying the month of March flies by. I did actually go on a walk yesterday around the lake that is near my house. I puked when I got home, but it was nice to get off the couch.
Mike has been great throughout this whole thing so far. He gets me what I need and is being very supportive. I can't imagine doing this without him. Next appointment 4/3/2009 and it should be fully developed by then.
