So this is the Kid at twelve weeks. This was the first appointment that the Hubby was able to go to, so our midwife did another ultrasound to check everything out and show us the baby. I have to admit, though, that I had a hard time seeing the baby shape at first. The hubs thought I was crazy because I couldn't see it, but I still maintain that the ultrasound pictures look alien to me! (BTW, the white area you see in front of the kid is not a boy part, it's a leg. Many people were confused about that...)
So at this point, I was feeling pretty lousy. I had all day sickness for a good part of my pregnancy. Mostly it would come at night, right as I was trying to sleep. I also had the dreaded N1H1 virus (AKA Swine Flu) around this time. TWICE. I don't know if it just never went away, or if it came back a second time, but I missed almost three weeks of work. I don't do vaccines, so I never got a flu shot for the standard flu or the swine flu, but it wasn't really that bad for me. I mainly wanted to sleep a lot and eat McDonald's french fries. The nausea was really what was killing me. I couldn't keep much down, but we still don't know if it was the flu or the morning sickness. My midwife prescribed some anit-nausea medication and then I felt great (except for the fact that the meds knocked me out).
Everything else seemed to go swimmingly for these months. I had a lot of paranoia that something bad would happen with the kid, but the more we move through the pregnancy, the easier it is to handle. Now we are both to the point that we are excited more than nervous!
