Our little bean looks like a baby....


April 22nd, 2009 we had another appointment with Dr. Farhart. I thought it was just going to be a routine check-up. But we got another sonogram done! I just love seeing our little bean! This time he didn't look like a bubble on the screen, he actually looked like a little baby! The best part of the sonogram was when he waved his little hand, as if to say "hi Mom and Dad!" Here is a picture from our 10 week appointment.

Nausea, nausea, and more nausea...

Boy oh boy was my first trimester rough! I was sick with nausea morning, noon, and night from about 6 weeks until about 14 weeks. Thats 8 weeks of being sick to my stomach!!! Blah! I thought it would never end. I even had a prescription for it, but it still didn't help. I was barely able to do anything at all. I ended up losing 10 pounds because I hardly ate anything. Luckily, it did subside shortly after the first trimester ended and I have been nausea free since then. Other than that, I haven't really had any other symptoms that have been too bad. A bit of heartburn and indigestion here and there, oh and a really sore abdomen!

First appointment with Dr. Farhart....


April 3rd, 2009 was our first appointment with Dr. Farhart. I was a bit nervous meeting our OB doctor for the first time. I didn't know what to expect. What if we didn't like him? What if I had to find another doctor? So many worries and questions ran through my mind before our first appointment with Dr. Farhart. I think the reason I was really worried was because I went to another OB a few weeks before, and had a horrible experience. I had to wait almost an hour for the staff to tell me that my appointment was never made and that the doctor wasn't even there for me to see. Ugh! So they had the doctor's nurse take a urine sample to verify my pregnancy. Then she handed me a bag of junk, literally it was junk, and walked away halfway telling me "congratulations" while she was dialing a number on her cell phone. How rude?!?!? So I left, and if you know the medical center in San Antonio, you know it's a pain to navigate through. It took me 30 minutes just to get out of the area, and I ended up on the wrong highway further out than I thought I was. I was so upset, I cried the whole way home! So going into our appointment with Dr. Farhart I was a bit nervous. From the minute we walked into the office EVERYONE there was super nice. We didn't have to wait long for Dr. Farhart, and he ended up being one of the nicest doctor's I have ever met. He took so much time with James and I, and answered every one of our questions. Once again, they verified my pregnancy. But this time they actually did an ultrasound to see our little bean! Overall, the first appointment with Dr. Farhart far exceeded my expectations and I couldn't have chosen a better OB!



The day our lives changed forever....

March 14th, 2009....It was a Saturday when our lives changed forever. I had a feeling that I was pregnant, but wasn't 100% sure. James didn't think I was, but being three days "late" was very unusual for me. I had to take James to go pick up his company car that morning, and on my way home I stopped by HEB to pick up a pregnancy test. Once I got home, I COULDN'T wait for James to get home to take the test. So I did. My suspicions were true...the little stick read "Pregnant!" WOW, I was in total shock! Was I really pregnant?!?!? We thought it would take a while to get pregnant because I was on the pill for so many years. But only two months off is all it took! It seemed like forever until James got home. I tried to occupy myself. I took a shower. I paced back and forth, until he FINALLY walked in the door. I tried to keep my cool. I wanted to surprise him.....as if me just being pregnant wasn't surprising enough! I picked him up a new gate opener, since he left his in the old company car when they took it away, I had it in one pocket and the "test" with a little bow on it in the other pocket. I told him I had a present for him, and handed him the garage opener! He laughed and thought I was just being silly. Then I said "I have another present for you," and pulled out the test stick. He was completely speechless! After a few moments of silence, he replied "I'm going to be a dad!" "Really? Are you serious? Really? Really?" We were both so happy!

What to expect...

So this is the first blog I've ever done, and I hope I can keep up with it. The main reasons for keeping this blog is to update friends and family on Micah's journey and as a journal for us to look back at later. I know I am starting a little late in my pregnancy, but I will try to backtrack as best as I can! Hope you all enjoy!
