Haven't been writing as much because there really isn't much to say. Since I was put on the zantac my vomiting and nausea has reduced considerably. I only vomit now occasionally if something doesn't digest well.
I had my official "first prenatal" appointment today. He did a transvaginal US and I got to see the baby again. It actually is looking like a baby now and not just a blip on the screen. I got pictures to take home this time too, so exciting. I also heard the heartbeat again today, which was much stronger and faster than the first time I heard it. I can't even begin to describe how it feels to see and hear another human being growing inside me. I can't technically feel the feel the baby but I can definitely feel the effect it is having on my body. But to see him/her with my own eyes and to hear and see the heartbeat displayed on the screen...that is something that just can't be described.
I have another appointment scheduled in another 4 weeks. They will do another US and be able to tell the gender of the baby then. I do want to know, I've thought about it quite a bit and I know it would drive me nuts not knowing. Plus, it's easier to decorate or come up with ideas when you know ahead of time.
I am so scared still. I know I know...there's nothing to be scared of. Well, you can tell me that until you're blue in the face but I will continue to be scared until it's all over, then I will be scared about something else. My biggest fear, which I suppose is common among many new mommies, is the fear of raising another person. I know I'll be fine, but that fear will always be there.
