Well hello there!
I have actually gotten a few "Hey, why aren't you updating your blog anymore?!" comments so here I am!!! I am just flattered that people actually read this thing! :)
Today was a pretty exciting day for Rocco and I... we got to hear the sweet little heartbeat of Baby Crea! At our 7 week ultrasound we were able to SEE it but it was too early to actually HEAR it. So today was the big day and it was amazing! Our wonderful Dr. (Dr. Graham) had to "fish around" for a bit (as he liked to refer to it as) but after exploring every square inch of my belly for a few minutes, there it was! Of course we brought our camera so we could record the audio, so take a listen for yourself below! It was TRULY amazing to hear that little heart just a beat'n away. Music to our ears!!! Dr. Graham said the heart rate is approximately 156 beats per minute which according to him is great! Keep up the great work Baby Crea!!!
Next week I will FINALLY be in my second trimester! Yahoo... I MADE IT!!!!!!! The first trimester was a bit rough so I am hoping the second trimester brings that "burst of energy" I keep hearing about and that my nausea continues to get better. Granted it is WAY better that it was but I am still dealing with it in the evenings, I just really have no appetite after like 4pm. It's funny though because I have gotten so used to telling myself how GOOD it is that I feel that way because it means Baby Crea is growing and doing great so when I DO have a good couple of days with no sickness I start to worry that something is wrong so I kinda wish I felt crummy because then I at least KNOW my little peanut is healthy and strong... The stress just never ends! :) Thank goodness for Rocco who has been dealing with my funny cravings and doing most (okay, ALL) of the cooking otherwise I would be living off of cereal and applesauce.
So... I think that about wraps it up. Now its just waiting, watching my belly grow, and MORE waiting! I cannot WAIT to find out what I am having... let the shopping begin!!!!!! My mom, Rocco, and I have done some shopping but what I really want to start doing in buying clothes and things for the nursery which aren't very fun when you don't know the sex. I have managed to buy my stroller (thanks Amanda for the B.O.B suggestion, we love it!), my Petunia Picklebottom diaper bag (My mom and I found that RIGHT away and I couldn't pass it up), some unisex clothes (mainly from friends & family), books, etc. etc. OH! And my momma got me this awesome sling (which of course we put Gizmo in to try it out!). I am trying to restrain myself from buying much more until I know if Baby Crea is a B or G. We'll see how long this lasts... :)
