Pregnancy Week 11

I can't believe I am 11 weeks pregnant! I met with the high risk doctor at 9 weeks and got a cool ultrasound! I saw baby moving around and everything. I am waiting to meet with my new OB on Friday, when we'll have our 12 week ultrasound. I am going to be tested using the Vistara test to see if baby has OI. I hope not. If so I am sure the doctors will want to do a C section. I DO NOT want to have a c section! All the research I have read says that the risk is the same for both normal delivery and c section. Ugh. I just feel frustrated and wish I actually knew if I had it. But that will cost us thousands of dollars so we are just going to have baby tested since it's only $250.

We went to Will and McCall's BYUI graduation last week, it was great to be with the whole fam! As we sat at the graduation I got a little teary. I reminisced to my BYUI days and what a happy time that was for me. All I have are fond memories. I love Idaho. Since Will and McCall graduated and sam is leaving on his mission I won't be in Idaho for a long time! On Monday night we drove out to aunt Natalie's to spend the night. THE DRIVE WAS BEAUTIFUL. My soul felt free and I felt so happy. I love ID in the summer. So many green fields and the air is so fresh.

Nick and I babysat Bobbie on Saturday and I'm pretty sure she gave us the worst cold!! Nick and I are so sick. I'm so annoyed. Kadison is going through the temple tonight and we weren't able to go because of these stupid colds. Now that I am on week 11 of pregnancy some days are bad and some are good as far as nausea goes. After we got back from ID I was sick for a few days. I have been better this week and today I haven't felt nauseous at all. I always get my hopes up this means the nausea is subsiding but then it always comes back a different day.

On Saturday morning Suzanne and I went paddle boarding. It was amazing! I told Nick I want a paddle board for Christmas.

Pregnancy:Week 9

The medication I am taking for nausea isnt working as well as it was last week...idk if that's because my nausea is getting worse or Nick is right that my body is getting used to it. It makes me have wierd dreams! Nick told me (and I vaguely remember) rolling over really quickly last night and whining like I was scared. He asked me if I was ok and I said "Yeah a little boy is trying to throw bread at me". WHAT?! Honestly so wierd.

I feel more tired this week too. In the mornings it's hard to get out of bed because I've been having restless sleep lately and the medicine I take makes me really tired. This morning our alarms went off at 7 and Nick got up all chipper and I couldn't even open my eyes. We are going to ID this weekend to help Will and McCall pack since they graduate next monday and move to TX next week!

Pregnancy: Week 8

Today I am about 8.5 weeks pregnant! We had our second appt yesterday and heard baby's heartbeat. It was so cool! Luckily it was a normal ultrasound this time, so I felt like a real mom with the gel on her tummy :) Last week I was in Texas visiting my family and for the most part I felt pretty good. Until Saturday. I stayed an extra day in TX because when I got to the airport on Friday night I discovered that the Denver to SLC leg of my flight had been cancelled! But it turned out great. Saturday I woke up and I was SO SICK all day. I could not keep anything down. It didn't help that I was traveling almost all day and traveling makes me sick. It was miserable. I was happy to be home though. This week I haven't thrown up once. I've been taking Vitamin b6 and unisom, and then yesterday I got a sample of some nausea medication from the doctor and I've only felt a little sick today. And tired. I haven't been too crazy tired through the last two months, but today I feel exhausted. I was just so happy to see little baby Thompson yesterday and hear the heartbeat. My anxiety was getting the better of me before the appt and I was sure the baby wouldn't have a heartbeat. Anxiety is so silly. The baby now looks like a little gummy bear, where 2 weeks ago he looked like a little white smudge! They grow so fast! I was told I can get a blood test done to check if I have OI but the guy in charge of the genetic tests called me back today and said that the test he is sending me doesn't test for OI. So we can only have the baby tested. Which is fine. If I have it, I have it. It will be good to know if baby has it too. I hope not, but there is a 50/50 chance! (at least from everything I have read). I was told we can have the test done for the baby as soon as I get the test in the mail, so hopefully I can go in and have it done tomorrow!
