10 Weeks Pregnant and Baby's Heartbeat!

Today I am 10 weeks pregnant!

Last night we heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. We had bought this:

So that Ed could hear the baby's heartbeat. The reason we bought it is because he works out of town a lot and we were figuring he would not get to go to a Dr. appt. with me. We did not want him to miss out!

So, we had been playing around with it and trying to listen to the baby for a few weeks now. Last night we finally heard it!! The baby was on the right side of my stomach and the heartbeat was soooo fast!! It was really neat.

When I was at my first prenatal appt. this month, the Dr. did not even try to hear the baby's heart. So, this was also the first time I have heard it as well.

Here is an update on me:
  • I am feeling the baby wiggle at least once almost every day now.
  • I am still kinda pukey feeling more in the evenings than the mornings.
  • My boobs are still killing me and I hate to say that they are definitely bigger.
  • So is my tummy. But it looks like I just need to push away from the table.. I don't look preggo. lol
  • I am peeing a ton. I get tired of having to pee every time I turn around.
  • I am emotional and will cry at the drop of a hat. So, don't hurt my feelings! lol
  • I have to eat breakfast. ( I never did before) If I do not eat in the mornings within 2 hours of getting up, I start shaking and feeling bad.
  • I take 4 and 5 hour naps every day and still have no problem sleeping at night.
I am definitely feeling pregnant, and I am remembering that it's really not a lot of fun!! =]

I also have 2 more girl names to add to my list of possible names:
  • Mya (pronounced My-a just like it looks)
  • Lanna

Ed was off this weekend and home, so he got the room pretty much cleared out so that I can start getting it ready for baby. We are going to Wal Mart, Target, and Toys R Us today to look at baby stuff!

Oh and he also got me a new pool and got it up this weekend too!! =]
