Thursday morning Paul and my mom joined me for Baby's first ultrasound. Turns out I am only 6 weeks pregnant. I think that makes the due date the end of January. Dr. Harper says everything looks good. We are cautiously hopeful that this baby will make it! But, I am still not out of the woods regarding a miscarriage and will have another ultrasound next week to keep checking that Baby is ok.
In the meantime, so much seems to have changed. Foods I used to love, I can't stand the thought of. Foods I would never consider having in my house are now a staple. If it weren't for fruit smoothies seeming to keep my tummy happy, my diet would be most unhealthy! All I want to do is sleep. But then I can't sleep at night. My dreams are insane. I can't really remember most of them, but they are downright weird. I cry at the drop of a hat - anything sentimental sends me over the edge. And Paul and I are now sleeping in separate rooms. I toss and turn all night and have been keeping him from getting a good night's sleep so he decided one night last weekend to sleep in the guest bedroom. I think he feels bad about how well he slept...every night around bedtime he carefully asks if its ok to sleep in the guest bedroom for another night. And yes, it is just fine. It keeps me from worrying about my tossing and turning and multiple trips to the bathroom. And all of this is just fine...it reminds me that I am actually in fact pregnant.
Tonight I am going to try eating fish...we'll see how it goes. I did have a salad last night and seemed to be able to keep it down.
Eek - first pic of Baby Lindgren! How exciting. Can't wait for the next pictures and being able to call it him or her!!
