Yesterday I saw my OBGYN and had another ultrasound. My doctor said the baby looks good and after taking measurements said I was 10 weeks and 1 day which gives me a due date of 9-19-11. That is exactly the same as if they based my due date off the first day of my last period! Looks like my baby is due on my 2 year wedding anniversary LOL. The baby looked great and we got to see and HEAR the heartbeat. The heartbeat was 160! The whole experience was amazing and gave me peace of mind. I feel like a brand new person knowing that my baby is doing so well. Wyatt got to see his brother or sister and as soon as he saw the baby on the screen he said "There is a baby in there!! I told you".
It was so cute! I got on the scale and haven't gained a single pound either which I'm fine with. Although I am wearing mostly maternity pants and my boobs feel huge and I am falling out of my bra. Funny how much different the second pregnancy is. I feel very pregnant with all the symptoms I have been having. My doctor also got my blood work back and everything look good. Even my blood sugar was perfect! My iron still looked good. The appointment was exactly what I hoped for.

10 weeks pregnant
Around 7 weeks my morning sickness started to get pretty intense. I expected it since I was throwing up for 6-7 weeks straight with my first pregnancy. Then around 9 weeks it got really bad. My doctor put me on Unisom at night and B6 25mg 3x a day which helped a lot! I was down about 4-6 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight but got on the scale yesterday and had gained my weight back. So I am finally back at the weight I was before I got pregnant. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before I start packing on more pounds! Even though I haven't technically gained a pound since the start of this pregnancy I have gained a belly! None of my jeans fit me anymore. I am wearing leggings, sweatpants, or maternity pants. I guess it is true what they say - you start to show sooner with the second pregnancy.
I had my iron checked and it was above normal levels! That was great news since I was very anemic with my first pregnancy. Last week I had some bloodwork done at which time they checked my blood sugar. I will get those results tomorrow at my OB appt. I will hopefully get another ultrasound to confirm my due date. So here I am 10 weeks in, 30 to go....I am hoping it goes by fast but at the same time I am glad I have time to get things in order. I know it is still early but I've been thinking about everything baby. Carseats, strollers, breastfeeding, sleepless nights, wondering about the sex of the baby....
Matt and I have decided on baby names for a boy or a girl. I have told family and a couple friends but I am not going to reveal thosse names until we find out the sex for sure. Wyatt is still convinced that there is no baby in my belly and that our baby is coming from Walmart LOL.
