Busy December

Its official. Got my very first ultrasound booked for Dec 14, then my 1st prenatal appointment is booked for Dec 21st! Very exciting, before I know it I will finally be able to see my little baby. Can not wait to hear the heart beat! Very hopeful that my hubby will be able to be there for it as well.

I've gotten very lucky and am having my ultrasound done by the OB/GYN who took care of me my whole pregnancy with Cam. What will the ultrasound tell us? Well its basically just going to look and make sure everything is working properly with babe i.e. heartbeat. As well as tell us how many babies are hanging out down there. Hopefully only 1 but twins do run in the family. Also, the u/s will tell us approx how far along we are and confirm the due date which is July 7th 2012 according to my last period. All very exciting! Unfortunately we will not be able to determine the sex at that point. Our little babies genitalia wont quite be visible by then we will have to wait until approx 20 weeks to find that out.

The 1st prenatal appointment well... its been a while since I've had one of those. About 6 years, can you believe it? I do remember that they send you for blood testing. About 5 viles to be exact, Yuck! Not really looking forward to that. Then he will go over the ultrasound results with me and a few other things. But my memory fails me a bit to be honest.

Then as far as we know Dec 24th will put us into the 2nd trimester which will greatly decrease our risk of miscarriage. Really looking forward to December! Who wouldn't be.

As for me. I am exhausted. I can not wait to be in the second trimester when I am supposed to get my energy back. I keep making the mistake of lying down then I'm so exhausted I cant keep my eyes open even though I want to wake up. That's really an uncomfortable feeling for me. Wake up for 2 seconds, think "I need to get up" but am unable to. Not cool!

That's pretty much all I have today though.
