The past week has been a learning experience. As being a "first timer" in the pregnancy arena, I wasn't sure what to expect or how I would feel.
Exercise- major slacking. If I could, I would choose sleep over eating,working and definitely exercising.
Healthful Eating- ughh... not much better here. I was eating at least 5 servings of vegetables a day prior to the past few weeks. Now, the sight of a salad makes me gag. It is crazy! Eating a lot of peanut butter toast and greek yogurt. Strawberries have been amazing!
Nausea- hello nausea! I have always been a pretty healthy person and only experienced the flu a few times since turning 10 years old. I was quiet surprised by the waves of nausea that I have been experiencing. If I am not eating something every 1.5 to 2 hours, I am sick. I even wake up in the middle of the night most nights because I am so nauseated that I need to eat something. It is very bizarre. I have never had to eat so often and been so turned off by food all at the same time. But, I am so excited about this little peanut growing inside me that I am not complaining!
Now, for the EXCITING NEWS!!
Our little baby has a heartbeat! Woo hoo! I have been so anxious (and still am) about having a healthy pregnancy. It was so much fun to see our little baby (about the size of a blueberry) on the screen. We didn't hear the heartbeat because it is so early, but we definitely saw the flicker!
Looking forward to our next appointment in 4 weeks!
