10 Weeks

Dear Lil Boop,

Today was the first appointment in a MONTH and I was ready to go! Dr. W tried to listen to your heartbeat with a Doppler, and there was a lot of noise, but none of it was you. So she did a quick ultrasound and we got to listen to the heartbeat that way. She also gave us 3 different pics of you, and I uploaded my favorite!

We go back in 2 weeks to do another ultrasound and a blood draw for genetic purposes. We probably don't need to because we don't have any significant medical histories, but I kind of want to see you again too. ;)

I'm still tired 24/7. I hate going to work and running around all day, it absolutely drains me. I come home and crash on the couch and then crash into bed later in the evening. It's pretty pathetic. I can't even muster up any energy to go to the gym right now. Mom and I went to lunch today and to Marshall's and I am completely spent.

They gave me a post-it with a list of things to help with nausea (ginger snaps, vitamin B-6), but it's almost like I've learned to live with it. I thought today was going to be my first time throwing up, but after a lot of spitting the moment passed (thankfully). I'm laying here typing and needing to pee but I don't know if I have the energy to do it...

AJ had gone to the appointment with me and when we got to see your picture he was like, "whoa!" I think he was surprised that we could actually see something besides a lil boop this time. Then he sent me a text later in the day telling me he was so excited...
