12 weeks today!

Well, I'm 12 weeks today! I'm almost done with the first trimester. I can hardly believe it. For the last week or so, I've actually felt pretty normal- no nausea or anything like that. I'm still tired most of the time, but I'll take being tired over being nauseated. I'm hungry pretty much all day long. I really don't have anything else to report!

Baby Peterson on the way!

Baby Peterson is on the way, and due 12/29/2008! We're so excited.

Timeline thus far-
April 25, 2008- positive pregnancy test
May 5, 2008- first doctor's appt., pregnancy confirmed
May 20, 2008- first ultrasound, saw the "shrimp baby"!, heartbeat was 182 bpm
May 28, 2008- first OB appt., pretty much like a regular gyn. appt.

Everything has been going well, and it's been pretty uneventful thus far. I'm 10w3d today. I haven't puked once! I was a bit nauseous from time to time from about week 6 through week 9, but I was always fine as soon as I ate something. I like having a reason to snack more often! I don't feel nauseous as often anymore, which is really nice. I'm pretty tired a lot of the time, but it's not too bad- I haven't fallen asleep with my head on my desk or anything. :) I get exhausted much more quickly when working out now, so I had to stop running, and start walking, pretty early on. I've only gained a pound or two thus far, and all my clothes still basically fit. My pants are starting to get a bit tight though...

My next appointment is on June 25. I will be 13w2d then, so the doctor should be able to find the heartbeat with the Doppler. I can't wait! I will feel much more at ease once I've heard the heartbeat again. Also, that will be my last day of the first trimester, which will be quite a reassurance. I'm trying to wait until then to tell work.

I will try to take regular belly pictures once I have a belly to show! More coming soon!
