i feel like it's been a while. . .

So nothing new has been going on really. They encouraged me go to a prenatal genetic counseling class for people with low risk pregnancies. It was lame. Basically they tell you all of the things that could go wrong (but probably won't). You know- Down's Syndrome, Spina Bifida etc. Nothing fun or anything likely. The benefit from this class is that if I opt for screening for these disorders I get another ultrasound. Now seriously- who would say no to seeing that perfect little baby again! So, my ultrasound is scheduled for August 7th. YEAH! I can't wait to see the bean again. And that perfect heartbeat. Wow. And you all will get new pictures.

I also had an early appointment today with a GI. There are some symptoms of pregnancy (which I promise not to go into here) that are worse for me due to some pre-existing issues. I needed a specialist to tell me what is baby safe. The doctor was a totaly weenie. I did not like him at all but for one appointment only he was helpful. He gave me a list of baby safe medicine to make me feel better. Not that any of my issues were a risk to the baby but boy oh boy was I uncomfortable.

In further news. . . I can NOT wait to be out of my first trimester. I know that i am low to no risk in my pregnancy but it is hard not to worry about the safety of this perfect little one. There are no day to day signs and symptoms that make me know that this little one is safe and fine. Again- i know rationally that all is well but it's tough with no tell tale signs. I'm sure at least most of you can understand. Two (or is it three) more weeks till i hit the second trimester. YEAH

On another note- week 11 update coming soon and let me tell you I found the COOLEST fetus pictures for the updates. (Thanks to my friend Erin's blog-- I hope you do not mind me thieving!) :)
