I had my first ultrasound today just to figure out officially where I am with everything. This morning I had looked up on my tracker how big my baby is, etc, and learned it should be about the size of an olive (a large one, like a martini olive). I expected to be about 9 weeks(although I did have a suspicion that I was not as far along as they originally thought I was). I discovered today that they were WAY off! I am 5 weeks and 6 days, and my baby is the size of a grain of rice! My new due date is now May 22nd!
It's kind of odd. I mean, it's great that I am due 2 weeks after finals are over instead of just before them. It will be nice to have an extra month to save up, plan, etc. However, I can't help but be the littlest bit disappointed that I have to wait a whole extra month to meet this little miracle being built inside of me.
I couldn't hear the heartbeat quite yet, but I could see it, which was pretty amazing. It was like looking at a tiny grain of rice with a little bitty throbbing speck attached to it. It was beating at 109 beats per minute today. Pretty neat.
I have been starting to feel a few more of the "symptoms" of pregnancy, which may mean I didn't just sneak by all of that, but if it means a bundle of joy is coming my way, then so be it!!
Morning sickness for me with both girls started full force around 7/8 weeks and was gone by 12/13 weeks, and even then I only threw up a few times. Just felt like a perpetual hangover. Seriously. If you have ever been hung over, that is it exactly. A hangover without any of the fun of being drunk! Boo! I'll pray that you're one of those freak people who don't get sick at all. :-)
