Today is my Birthday

So, today is my 51st birthday. Who would think about being pregnant at 51!! Actually it hasn't been that bad. I have had lots of things that I never had when I was pregnant at 21. Like heartburn and acid reflux so bad that sometimes I don't even want to eat because I know what is going to happen. My stomach muscles have been very sore, I never had this before but I understand it is from the muscles stretching. Other that fatigue, that is about it. The fatigue is much better than it was, I don't know that it will be back to 100% until the baby is born, after all I am 51, right? The good thing is that I have had NO morning sickness, not even a little, thank god for that. If I had to deal with the morning sickness on top of being extremely tired, I don't know that I would have made it through the day.

13 Weeks

We are 13 weeks today. Officially made it through the first trimester and start the second episode of this journey.

First appointment with OB

Today was our first appointment with our OB. All went well. First we had an appointment with the doctor, that was very routine, internal exam, blood test, just the routine first appointment. After the doctor we had an appointment for our nuchal transluency test.If you don't know this is an ultrasound where they check for Down's Syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities. We did not get the final results of that but the doctor said it looked good. We also got to look at the little baby and he/she was dancing around and putting on a show for Mommie and Daddy. We are 11w4d and the baby measured 12w2d. It was a very exciting appointment!!
