Appointment Numero Dos

Today was my second appointment at 10 weeks. Dr. Dave took a look at the baby with an abdominal ultrasound and we saw the little bean wiggling all over the place! We also saw the heartbeat. Unfortunately, baby was camera shy and was turned away from us, so the only picture we got was of it's back (which is obviously the most beautiful back in the entire world). I received both my fetal doppler and my Halloween shirt (pictured below) when I was 9w2d. I was and have been able to find the heartbeat every day except last night and it has been in the 160's/170's. So fun to hear!! I took a video with my phone but it's the dumbest phone ever and won't let me e-mail it to myself! SO frustrating. On the other hand, I am so excited to wear my little skeleton baby shirt on Wednesday!! So far the only people who know are my mom and stepdad, Jeff's dad and niece, and handful of close friends, and my cheerleaders LOL! So, the skeleton shirt will be the reveal for my Step-dad's side of the family. I mailed a hand-made puzzle complete with my ultrasound to my dad, stepmom, and little brothers so they should be getting it soon! I took pictures of that too, but again it's on my phone....piece of ****! I plan to announce to the rest of the family by announcement cards and Facebook. I see Dr. Helm in about a week and a half so I will likely get to see they baby at that appointment (which is at 7:30AM!!!!) as well; YAY! Overall, things have been going good! Just can't wait to get through the first trimester and NEED/MUST start eating better!! I have been so lazy, cooking has been out of the question, but I gotta get it together--Taco Bell can't be good for the little one! And I gotta exercise! I swear, I started today and I gotta keep it up. I posted a belly picture from 9 weeks. I am not going to take another until 12 weeks so there will actually be a difference, lol.

Ughhh. While I type this, I sit here and burp up my DISGUSTING prenatal vitamins. EW. I bought the gummies because I just can't handle it any more.
