First Dr. Appointment.

Today was my first doctor check up for the baby. Boy is there LOTS to learn. I am so scared that I am going to miss something and mess it up. This is a great reminder I have to fully relay in God to lead me the right way in all my decisions. I have never prayed more in my whole life then I do know. When ever I get a pain or a cramp I stop and pray to have a healthy baby. My word what a feeling it is to be a mother, it is such an amazing love and emotion that it is hard for me not to cry for Joy just thinking about it. I am sure I will be a mess when "it" arrives.

There are a few things that I am going to really keep an eye on. First, I am at high risk for gestational diabetes because of my weight so walking it is, I vow to this baby that I will go on a walk when every I can, and I really have to watch my sweet intake and need to eat lots of protein (which is what I do anyway)so hopefully it will be an easy thing for me to keep an eye on. Second I am only aloud to gain 15 pounds. My doctor said that she would not be surprised if I lost weight through this which is fine as long as it is not too much.

I am not feeling "really" pregnant, but I can definitely tell that I am. I am so tired all the time, and my lower belly feels really tight and ache. I have other symptoms too but you don't need to read about those LOL!

This week the babies heart is a size of a poppy seed and starts beating, "its" body is the size of an orange seed. What a miracle it is that something so small has a heart beat! By the end of this month my uterus will be the size of a grape fruit (this is why I am feeling ache and get sharp shooting pains) my ligaments and stretching to make room . I don't not know about you but that seems awful big to me.

My next Dr appointment is in August she is going to try and hear the heart beat but it is still pretty soon so we might have to wait until the next one. She will also be checking the size of my uterus to see if it seems larger then normal, and if she thinks it needs to be done there will be an early ultra sound so that we can see if there is more then one in there! I will keep everyone posted. Please keep praying for a safe and healthy pregnancy and baby!
