Almost week 11!

So I am coming up on Week 11 of my pregnancy and the sickness is getting worse. I thought towards the end of the first trimester it would get better but that is not the case for me. About a week ago I started getting sick more regularly in the mornings, the queasy feeling stays until about 10:00am, and then I am usually fine the rest of the day. I still think I have had it pretty good so far according to stories I have heard from other mothers! I thank God that I am healthy enough to carry this baby and I pray that it takes whatever it needs from me. I can handle the occasional sickness.

So I have been cramping the past couple of days so I called the doctor on Monday. They fit me in yesterday to check everything out. After a few tests and samples they found out that it is just an infection that is very common with pregnancy. The best part was since I was already in the office my doctor went ahead and did an ultrasound to check on the baby. I got to see the little peanut! He was all curled up and she was poking at him and I guess it woke him up. I have an ultrasound picture of him all curled up and then I have one where his legs and arms are all stretched out. He stuck his legs straight up in the air but he was waving his little arms around. It was so wonderful to see God's little creation in there just as content as ever!

I know I keep referring to the baby as a "he" but I think I do that out of habit since we have had so many boys born lately. Plus I just can't bear to call our baby "it."
