8 weeks ultrasound




Exciting news: We went for our second ultrasound today (8 weeks) - EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT! The baby is now 2 centimeters in length (about the size of a cherry) and we heard his / her heart beating (very quickly!) We are thrilled! The baby is even bigger than our ob/gyn expected - all is going really well.

My thyroid is still neutral (for the past 6 months) so my endocrinologist is recommending that I come off the PTU - YAY again!

I have a funny taste in my mouth almost all the time and feel queasy 10 out of the 14 hours that I manage to stay awake every day, but aside from that, this pregnancy is going pretty smoothly. Oh yeah, popsicles - must have popsicles! (Don't know why).

The other development is that my pants are beginnning to be a bit tight. Had to stop wearing my tight jeans - sigh. This is probably from bloating though, not so much from the baby. (He / She is ony 2 cm big right...) I can't wait until I can justify going out and getting some maternity jeans as right now I am living in some work pants that used to have some room in the waist (but don't any more!)

Our next ultrasound is April 6th (the baby will be 12 weeks old then). Can't wait to see him/her again!
