Early Doctor's Visits and Other Common Questions

ultrasound at about 11 weeks

If you are interested in photos, please see the link to the left marked "Photos that go with this blog."  It will take you to other photos that we've uploaded during these exciting months.  (So far not so many photos). That way we can keep only recent ones on this page, but you can still see older ones...

Our first two visits were pretty uneventful. Everything seems to be going well. On my second visit we got a second ultrasound (lucky!) because the doctor could not pick up a heartbeat on her doppler device.   Not a big deal, as Shrimpy is still quite tiny and seems to enjoy a good game of hide and seek. And we got some nice photos out of it which will be posted soon. 

Here are the latest stats:

Our Estimated Due Date:  29 March.  

Can you tell Dena's pregnant? She can! If you know me really well and see me often you may be able to tell.  

Any cravings?  Nothing too off the wall.  Typically it is cheese of some kind, or pasta.  Once in a while I crave chili cheese tater tots from Sonic, and last week I suddenly craved McDonald's.  

Aversions? I have a lot of trouble eating fruit - it makes my tummy hurt!

How do you feel? (This is a favorite question of all people) Generally tired and queasy.  And I've become kind of absent minded and forgetful.  Yesterday on the phone with Scott I totally lost what day it was in the course of three sentences.  Thankfully, it looks as if I am past the weepy stage. That was a nightmare.  Even commercials were making me tear up!
