It's hard to believe that next year when I turn 28 (I'm getting too close to 30) Baby Sheldon will be here to help me celebrate. This week I have been thinking a lot about what it is going to be like to have baby here. My morning sickness consumes the majority of my thoughts and time. I'm constantly worrying about what I'm going to eat, when I'm going to eat and when I'm going to feel better. So in order to help me get through this, I have been trying to focus on the end result. I know once I hold our beautiful baby it will all be worth it.
Matt has been a super hero through all of this. While I struggle to survive most days, he has picked up all the slack. He's been doing all of the cleaning, laundry, and cooking (or running to the grocery store). I am so grateful to have such a supportive husband. He gives me multiple pep talks throughout the day and doesn't judge me when I come straight home and have to lay down.
As we wrap up the first trimester I hope these symptoms begin to disappear and my energy levels begin to pick up. Next week we have a big doctor's appointment for our first trimester screening. They will do a pretty in depth ultrasound to measure everything and make sure there are no problems. I will post new pictures on Thursday. Also, the doctor said SOMETIMES they can tell the sex at this appointment. I'm not going to get my hopes up but you never know!
Here is this week's belly picture. My doctor informed me that I have a tilted uterus which means that my belly will pop sooner. I think that may be starting to happen.
