OUR VERY FIRST ULTRASOUND!

We went in for my first ultrasound appointment yesterday... AMAZING! I mean, I know people probably always say that, but when it's actually yours for the first time, there's nothing like that feeling. I was so amazed that I had a little one inside of me and he/she was moving ... a lot. For the first time seeing our little gummy bear, he/she was sure active. I got a little clip of him/her moving around and part of the heartbeat (which cuts off, but it was 176 bpm.) I'm so excited. I can't wait to see the next one and how much progress he/she has made. (The video totally looks cooler in full screen! :))

Preggo News!!

Well, now that everyone knows that I'm pregnant, I thought I'd share some updates.
First of all, our insurance company has issues. For real. But they have since been resolved. Thinking I was having to have a baby without insurance.. not such a fun thought to entertain. Believe me.
Morning sickness has made it's debut. But of course its mostly been hovering over the toilet just THINKING I'll puke, but never do. I threw up only probably 2 or 3 times. That started at about 7 weeks and kicked my butt for a couple weeks after that.

I then discovered a pain in my lower left tailbone area and decided to stretch it out to see if it'd loosen up. And I just made it worse. The next night, I toppled to the floor in excruciating pain, unable to put pressure on my left leg, and with pain radiating down my thigh. I got a blessing from my husband and we decided to wait it out. 4th of July was when I received crutches and Tuesday, July 5th I went into my OBGYN. I had an appointment set for this Saturday for my 1st prenatal visit, but instead decided to do the visit then to see if I could get help. Nope. Just a check up and a referral to a physical therapist and a boot out the door. Oh, and not to mention the oh, so polite, "Congrats on your pregnancy!"
In the meantime, my mother-in-law went to see her chiropractor for her back and told him about my situation. He said he thinks he knows exactly what it is from what she's explaining, and can help me within 1-2 visits! He said, that usually when you're heading toward the end of your 1st trimester (which I am) sometimes you can develop a lot of these surging hormones one in particular called Relaxin, that will start to separate the bones to make room for the baby, and in doing so, can cause the bones to pinch a nerve. So, I have an appointment tomorrow morning and am praying I'll be able to feel better. Because after all, I'm getting sealed next week and am not anxious to be doing such on some dang crutches!!
Yep, that's right! We are getting sealed July 15th, 2011! It will be exactly one year from when we got married. And we are thrilled! I do, however want to state that we have a fairly small sealing room and have decided to only invite immediate family members. We so badly want to invite many that mean so much to us, but are unable to do so with the room requirements. So, immediate family it is. We thank everyone who supports and understands this. We love you guys so much!

I will blog again once I find out whats going on with my nerve pain and have seen my 1st ultrasound which will be this Saturday. Can't wait!
