Baby #2 update

I had my second doctor's visit today. One thing that I loved about my last doctor and now my new doctor is that I get an ultrasound at every visit. It's amazing to see the difference 4 weeks makes. Here is a picture of our little person.

The heartbeat was very strong and she said everything looked great.

It's amazing how different this pregnancy is from the first. Or maybe I remember the first differently. A few differences:

1. I am much more sick this go around. I have two prescriptions that help a ton. I don't always feel great but they keep me from throwing up. I was never sick enough to "need" a prescription with Ethan.
2. I've missed several days of work due to morning sickness. I didn't miss any work with Ethan except for doctor's visits.
3. I've missed several mornings of practice. I don't remember missing anything the last time. But I was also the only coach at that point so I had to suck it up.
4. I've felt so miserable I have verbally told several people to remind me of this the next time I think I want a child.
5. I do not want to eat popsicles or ice cream. I would not have survived my first trimester with Ethan without popsicles.

Things that are the same:

1. Cooking raw hamburger meat grosses me out.
2. The thought of shrimp makes me want to vomit.
3. I'm exhausted.
4. I go to bed early.
5. I nap A LOT.

Several people, including my doctor, have commented that maybe the differences mean it's a girl. We'll see- but not until January. That's going to be a long wait.

Have a great Thursday!
