Couldn't have gone better!

Well we had our first appt. with the new OB yesterday morning and it couldn't have gone better! First and foremost, I think Dr. Vandersloot is a great doctor and I feel very comfortable and confident with him! Next, and most exciting ... we got to see the baby! It was wiggling all over the place and waving it's little arm buds at us! Cory thought that was the coolest thing ever! It's heart beat was 167 and my due dates has been confirmed. October 4, 2010, which is closer to where I thought it would be! I have to get our picture scanned onto our computer somehow, but as soon as I do, I'll post it on here! We are so excited! Now we just have to wait 12 more weeks to find out if it's a boy or a girl! It's gonna be a LOOOOONG 3 months! LOL!

Sick of feeling sick.

Man, if I would've known what was coming ... I wouldn't have been complaining. I kept telling Mom and Cory that I was feeling great! No morning sickness or anything! than all of the sudden it hit me. It's not as bad this time as it was with Ellie (the 24/7 throwing up, can't get off the couch kind of sick) but it's kicking my butt just the same. I'm thankful it's not as bad because I have NO idea how I'd manage a toddler, sometimes two, if it were. I mostly have all day on-and-off nausea, I've only thrown up a few times (sorry for the TMI), and I'm pretty sleepy. When the small windows present themselves, I have to get up and move to get anything done. My poor house is suffering and thank God for Cory because in addition to working his normal schedule ... he's been coming home and picking up the slack. Today my sole mission is get the laundry washed and dried, all of it. Cory said he'd fold and put it away if I can just get it all washed. I'm trying. I'm waiting very impatiently for my first appointment next week. In-take, since I have a new OB, is on Wednesday (just with the nurse) and I meet with the OB and hopefully get to see or hear the baby's heartbeat on Friday!

On a more exciting note, Ellie started swimming lessons at the YMCA last week! She absolutely loves it! She's learning to blow bubbles, kick and has been going underwater! She's not a huge fan of her ears going into the water or floating on her back though. I think she just doesn't feel secure. but when Teacher Lori does it with her she does amazing! I'm so glad =) So far she's been to 3 classes and has about 6 or so left this session, but each time she gets more and more comfortable and better and better! We've decided to sign her up for next session as well so that will be another month 2x/week! She loves it so much, I know if she knew to ask me, she would want to continue with them!

Back to my laundry. And I need to find something to eat that will stay with me. I'm thinking Grammy and Papa's homemade applesauce and toast. It seems to be my fail-safe!
