Entry #6

Yesterday was my 10th week of pregnancy. This past Thursday April 3 was my first OB appointment. It went really well. We went through all of the typical questions and tests for the first visit. They ask you all of your medical history and give you blood tests and a pap smear. The doctor also checked for the size of my uterus. She said she felt that it was a little bigger than what it should be for how far along I am so she wrote up an order for me to go to the hospital to have an ultrasound done. I don't know how it would be possible for me to be any further along than I am. I know the exact date that I conceived this baby. Mike and my mom think I'm having twins. There are certain signs that could make someone think that but what are the odds. So I don't think that I am but I guess anything is possible. My appointment for the ultrasound isn't until April 21st. So I have to wait a couple weeks to find out.

My new due date is actually October 31st. My physician calculated it as November 1st but she was off by a day. My OB nurse did with the calculator and it came out for October. She said the pregnancy wheels that doctors use are exactly accurate. So now we have a new due date. Although I'll most likely be having a c section again and in that case they schedule it a week before your due date. So we will have the baby just in time for Halloween.

Still feeling pretty much the same. Except the weirdest thing happend. Just a little after my 8th week I started feeling nauseous. It's been happening off and on all throughout the day. I hate it. The first 8 weeks were fine and then it started. I thought I was just going to sail through the first trimester without any morning sickness. I guess I should've knocked on wood. Well hopefully it will go away within the next few weeks. Only a few more weeks to go until my 2nd trimester!!!

So we thought we were going to go with the name Ryan James if it's a boy but I'm having second thought again. I just can't decide on a name. If I had my way I'd name him Nolan James but Mike isn't too sure about that name. Maybe if I keep asking him about it he'll eventually start liking it. So still not too sure on the boy name. At least we've got about 6 more months to make a decision.
