8 weeks today

Well, today was my 8 week visit. It was just going to be blood work basically, and talking to my doctor about any questions I had, but I ended up getting an ultra-sound! And,yes,everything is fine. Yesterday I started having a little discomfort on my lower left side, kind of like a tearing or stretching feeling when I would cough, laugh, etc.(most people that have had kids know what I'm talking about). I knew this could just be typical pregnancy discomfort because the uterus is starting to stetch out and all, but just to rule anything out, my doctor said he'd give me an ultra-sound. Which I was thrilled with, because I had really wanted one to see if we were having twins or not; and usually your 1st ultra-sound isn't until 20 weeks! Well, all looked great and we are NOT having twins! There was just one baby! In a way I'm relieved, but at the same time, having twins would've been pretty cool: ) I say that now that I know I don't have them! We are just so excited!! Actually seeing the picture makes it so real!! And I know it's hard to see a lot in the picture, but when looking at it, the head is on the right and the body on the left. Don't really know if it's the profile or head-on, but it's amazing!! I definitely have been feeling worse this pregnancy, with constant nausea and very tired! Fun, Fun!! I'm not actually throwing up, just that wonderful 24/7 nauseous feeling!!! My doctor gave me a prescription for it, but I'm trying to hold out on that and just tough it out. Surely it will pass soon! I go back in 3 weeks and will get to hear the heartbeat! We could see it beating on the ultra-sound today-so awesome! My official due date in June 30, 2008!

I almost forgot........

.....to post a picture of my costume! Yes, I dressed up this year for work at the pre-school. Some of the other teachers were going to dress-up, so I decided I would too! Isabella took my picture that morning since she and I were the only ones home at the time, so that explains why I appear to be looking down in the picture : )

I decided to wear a dress of my mom's from 1973 that yes, once again, my grandmother made. But here's the catch, my mom was almost 8 months pregnant when she wore this dress!! She and I obviously have a different build(I am about 4 inches taller than her)!! I thought the costume was appropriate this year since I'm pregnant too!!!!! For those of you who haven't heard the good news, I'm 6 weeks pregnant!!! I'm due the end of next June! We're soooo excited!! Well, here's the picture!!

Halloween Fun!!

The kids had another great Halloween! This year, Madison dressed up like a girl from the 60's. She wore a dress that my mom actually wore(that my grandmother made in the 60's)! It turned out cool! Isabella was a leopard-BIG surprise!!! I think that's what she was last year!! They loved carving their pumpkin with Daddy(thats' his job!) I get to deal with finding and buying all of the costumes : )
