I had a doctor's appointment today. I was a bit nervous about it since the 8 week mark is a common time for women to miscarry and sometimes one doesn't know until she goes in for her ultrasound and there is no heartbeat. It has happened to several of my friends. However, thankfully, that was not the case for me! Everything was looking just fine and the baby is exactly the right size for how far along I am. I got to see the baby wiggle as well as the heartbeat. He/She has little arms and little legs and is about an inch long. Today was my last visit with Dr. Trobough. In 2 weeks I'll have my first appointment with Dr. Rosenburg, who is technically my regular OB.
As far as my health goes, I'm doing pretty well. My cysts are still there, but decreasing. I often will feel queasy for about half of the day and it often flip flops which half that is. Maybe I'll get through this pregnancy without throwing up... but I'm not counting on it. Around 2:00 every afternoon, I hit a wall and become absolutely exhausted. So I am still trying to lay down every day for an hour or so while Mattie takes a play nap. This has been going pretty well, overall.
Here's the picture of our little munchkin:
