Heart to Heart

I just realized today how lame I am at keeping up with any sort of blog/journal/etc. I thought I would be writing in this every day, and here I am weeks later with no update.

However, today is a good one. Heck, a GREAT one. We went in this morning for doctor's appointment #2 and got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time! It was going strong at 175 bpm (some old wive's tales say that over 140 means a girl *fingers crossed*). It was so incredible to think this small little baby only an inch long had this loud racing heartbeat. It helped make everything seem more real (not that the nausea ISN'T...). My weight had gone down 4.5 lbs since the first visit, but they said that can be common with the nausea, and the fact that I've had a cold the past week.

Hopefully tomorrow I will remember to take a belly update picture since I will be in week 10! That means 1/4 of the way down already.

How far along: 9 weeks, 6 days
Baby is the size of: an olive
Weight: 144
Gym: haha, I should just take this question out....
Water: not much
Cravings: grilled cheese & tomato soup - totally hit the spot tonight!
