Wow, it feels good to type that! Grant and I are expecting a baby in April! Today I am 10 weeks, 4 days and I'm feeling great! I've been writing posts since we found out we were expecting on August 16th so I'll be posting those in the coming days. I want to keep track of every step of this exciting time in our lives!
I had my second prenatal appointment today with Dr. Gleason at UAB. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this man! Grant came down with a terrible stomach virus on Monday and wasn't able to come to the doctor with me. He was disappointed he couldn't be there but he's been in the bed sick as a dog all week. I was a little anxious about going to my appointment solo, but Dr. Gleason immediately put me at ease. I heard the most beautiful, amazing sound I've ever heard - our baby's heartbeat! Dr. Gleason wasn't sure if we'd be able to hear it on doppler this early but I heard a strong heartbeat of 166. My heart was swelling with JOY. I really wish Grant and I could have experienced that moment together but I know we will have many more opportunities to hear that precious heart pumping again ;)
I've gained 3 pounds since my first prenatal appt. 3 weeks ago. The doctor said I'm right on target with weight gain. My waist is definitely feeling a little thicker. So far I haven't had any real cravings but I have been hungrier! My favorite foods right now are Zoe's chicken salad and pimento cheese, anything from Chik-Fil-A, CHEESE, wheat thins, and lemonade. I was feeling pretty tired weeks 7 - 9 but I've noticed a good change in my energy level this week!
We plan to wait and tell the rest of the world at the end of the first trimester!
