The Gummy Bear



We went in for another ultrasound on May 6th.  My doctor said she likes to do the "first" one when it's about 8 weeks or so, so we got a bonus one. :)

I'm really glad we got to go in again- It really looked like a baby! We could see the baby's arms and legs wiggling around- It was really amazing.  On the day of the sonogram I was 8 weeks, 6 days along and the doc said everything looked "perfect".  Our next appointment is on June 3rd and we should be able to hear the heartbeat then.

I'm still feeling pretty crappy.  I got a prescription for Zofran (an anti-nausea med) about 3 weeks ago and it has helped a lot.  I still feel sick and have NO appetite, but I can function most of the time.  My doctor told me that it ends for most women around 13 weeks... I hope that's true for me. These next 3 weeks better FLY by!!!

  1. That really is the best ultrasound because the "nugget" actually resembles a baby. It makes everything real! I'm so sorry you are still feeling so awful! Hope it passes soon!

    BTW, so glad I have a new blog to read!
