Dr. Appt. and 1st tri-mester

Well to date i've had my first Dr. appt with my ob-gyn doctor. She seems to be a great Dr. and i'm looking fwd to her expertise throughout my pregnancy. As of today, February 7th 2011, i am approaching my 8th week of being pregnant. The 1st trimester has been everything that i've read about so far. Nausea has been my biggest battle. I think it was at it's worst at the start of week 6 and 7. Mentally i've been wanting to take daily walks to keep my body moving but my body is telling me otherwise based on the nausea... Hahaha.

My Dr. recommended i keep my weight gain around 15 lbs for the duration of the pregnancy due to my current weight, so i think once i get to a point where my "morning sickness" dies down, i can start up my 30 min. walks daily. I plan on taking a pregnant belly pic at some point once my waistline starts to diminish. Right now it's hard to get a true belly picture because i already have a certain amount of abdominal fat.

JD has been THE BEST husband a girl can ask for. He's been very understanding so far of my "morning sickness" and helps out so much around the house. He has been a trooper taking care of the 2 furry babies we have at the house since i am unable to scoop any litter while i'm pregnant. I am definitely a lucky girl.

My first ultrasound was scheduled for Feb. 4th but due to the winter weather that decided to blow in, my imaging center called to reschedule. 1st appt. has been moved to Wed. of this week (Feb.9th). I will scan and post the ultrasound photo once we have one.
