I am so excited, I have only been sick once today! I am officially in my 11th week and the end of the first trimester is right around the corner. I am still a little worried, but I am hoping that I will get to hear the heartbeat at my next visit (which is on Tuesday) but since I am overweight I might have to wait a bit longer because at that time I will only be 11 weeks.
I weighed myself this morning and I am down almost 10 pounds, so that will give you an idea how bad morning sickness is... that is 10 pounds in 3 weeks..... I am keeping some things down and I am drinking loads of water so my DR is not concerned, but he is really keeping an eye on all that is going on.
Jennifer: You should feel the baby moving soon, it happens around 14-18 weeks. I cannot wait until you start posting about baby kicks. --- I also agree with your decision not to take the trip, I think that is to much with a new baby coming, you need to rest! Plus you will need that extra money for diapers.
Chrissy: Less then 10 hours now! Soon you will be posting welcome home baby photos!!!! I cannot wait, I swear your labor must qualify for the worlds longest labor!!!!
Ok, that is all for now. I am going to try to eat and then catch up more on posts.

Here is the update from my appt today. I just copied it from my journal so I didnt have to re-type it all.
The appointment today was supposed to just be a quick check up, but it ended up lasting aboout 3 hours!!! We got to listen to the heartbeat for the first time, which we were both REALLY excited about!!! Dr. Ingram found it right away, but as soon as he started timing it to find the heart rate the little booger moved!!! It took about 5 minutes to find it again after that. But he found it, not that we were worried since we heart it right away. It was right at 150 bpm.
After we were done in the doctor's office, he sent us down to the lab to get the gestational diabetes test done. I am sure it isn't the greatest tasting stuff in the world....but I think it is 100 times worse on an empty stomach!!! The drink made me really nauseous and gave me a headache. So, I waited the hour to get the blood drawn. The lady that drew it missed my vein though and had to keep pulling the needle out and putting it back it. So now I have the most wonderful bruise on my arm!!!
After I did the test, we went back up to the office because we realized we didn't set up my next appointment. So, ew go up to the desk and tell the guy that we need to set up an appointment but I am going out of town for 5 weeks and my appointment will need to be during that time. He didn't know what to do so he paged my doctor to see what to do. We still don't have an appointment set up because Dr Ingram was going to find out what has to be done. He thinks maybe I will just have to go back in 2 weeks (before we leave town) then come back in right after we get back (about 5 weeks out) because he doesn't want me going another 7-8 weeks without being seen. He said he would call us by Tuesday and if he doesn't we need to call him and find out.

Jennifer: I HATED the glucose test, it was just awful. I am glad you have it over with, and hope you pass it so you do not have to do the three hour one because that is just as bad, if not worse then the first one. Who knew that being gone so long would though such a bind in your prenatal appointments. It is a good think that your DR is so concerned and is finding the best way to schedule around your trip. --- As for your trip, did you get everything set with your baby shower? When will you be finding out the gender, did you get everything set with your 3-D ultrasound? --- Wow I really feel out of the loop! I cannot wait until I feel more pregnant and less sick!!!!! --- WooHoo on hearing the heartbeat, if my DR thinks 11 weeks is to soon to try to hear it then I am going to have to wait until my 15 week appointment, I really hope I do not have to wait that long, I really want to hear my baby!!!!! --- Other then being pregnant, how is life? How is the house coming along? When are we going to get updated photos? CRAP, if you are gone for five weeks I am going to go though total Jennifer withdrawal... will you be able to check in while you are gone? Chrissy: How are things going? I cannot wait to see photos!!!! Jacque PS: I know I have been promising, but I am really going to try to get a belly shot up today!!!!!!

Jacque - I hope I passed that test too!!! I dont want to take the 3 hour one!!! Especially if it is going to make me as sick as this one has. I am still feeling crappy today. My stomach hurts so bad! --- We didn't get everything planned with my baby shower yet. Right now it looks like we will be having it one of 2 weekends in October that Quentin has long weekends. He has a 4 day weekend at the beginning of the month and a 3 day weekend in the middle of the month. --- We are hoping to find out the gender on Thursday. The 3D ultrasound won't be until between weeks 28 and 34 so we have awhile to schedule it. The one on Thursday is just a regular 2D one. --- I really hope that you get to hear the baby at your next appt. I hated having to wait until this last appt to hear it. It was so amazing though!!! --- Besides the pregnancy things are going pretty well. The house is still a work in progress. Getting alittle bit more done everyday. I promise I will take a new pic today!!! Don't worry about my trip!! i will still get to check in and post almost every day!!!
Chrissy - Have fun at the wedding!!! Can't wait to hear more from you about Kira's coming home trip!!!

Jennifer: Good! I am so glad that you will be able to check in... and it is awesome that you have everything (almost) set with the baby shower. I know that Quentin wanted to have the house done before he went to work, so it is good that you guys are looking at it as a work in progress... especially since you have so much going on. --- Yes, I remember the way my stomach felt after the glucose test... and that says something because I do not remember alot of pregnancy with Kailey, it sucked so I think I have chosen to block most of it, but heck I will NEVER be able to forget that test... and I am not looking forward to doing it again. BUT then again, alot of people say it is a MILLION times better then it used to be. So I do have that to look forward to!!!! Jacque

Okay ladies...I need help!!! My sister's baby shower is in about 3 weeks and I have NO IDEA what to get her!!! She has been so sick throughout the whole pregnancy that she hasn't been able to register, except at one store. I've talked to her but she keeps telling me that she doesn't know what all she still needs. So I need ideas for some good things to get her. BTW....she is having a girl.
What were your favorite items?
What are some things you wouldn't have thought to get but ended up using a lot?

Chrissy - I replied to your other post but I wanted to say that I am so happy for you and your family! It seems like Kira is doing well and is a great baby! Can't wait to see pics!!!
Ok girls.....I need your opinions on a name. I really want to have a name for our baby when we find out what we are having on Thursday. We have a boys name already, he will be Brayden Nicholas Anthony. But for a girl, we still aren't decided. We had Addison Kayleigh picked out but then my cousin (who is due a few months before me) decided that they are naming their little girl Addison Lynnette, so we cant us Addison anymore. I have been trying to think of a girls name that I really like and I think I have finally found "the" name. What do you all think of the name Aryanna Brielle (pronounced R-E-unna Bree-L)?
