9 weeks and in Texas~

I am 9 weeks pregnant! I am still very blessed with not much nausea and plenty of energy. I can see a little difference in my stomach region, but nothing major of course. 3 more weeks and I will be in my 2 trimester which is very exciting! The baby now has arms and lega with toes and fingers, and is healthy as can be. We are going to start the Name process soon, and hopefully that will be easy;) Nothing much to report.In the next week or so I will check in with Ft. Hood and let you know what that appointment reports. Thanks for your prayers and excitment! Hope you had a wonderful Easter. God is on His throne! How amazing!

OB Physical

I went in yesterday for my OB Physical, and everything is normal. All my blood work came back normal, with normal levels of platelets, WBC'S, RBC'S, etc. I will be good to go during labor as far as my levels and having a safe delivery. My uterus is at the right size for 8 weeks, and I am scheduled to have a normal delivery. I did not have an unltrasound because it is about 2 weeks too early to be able to hear it on the unltrasound machine. She would have had to use other means of hearing it which was just not necessary:)I will be able to hear it in my next apointment at Ft. Hood. I am a healthy momma with nothing to report!

Much Love!

Okay, I feel Pregnant!

I am working my way into week 7 onto week 8, and feeling great. I am not really getting morning sickness,necessarily, but it is more like after breakfast sickness, and if I don't keep something in my stomach sickness. It is managable, and definitely nothing to complain about. Many women have it so much worse. I feel great, energized, and ready to move to Texas! I have had no weight gain, yet, and am keeping up with a well-balanced diet. I have an appointment this Wednesday morning for my physical and hopefully an ultrasound. I will definitely let you know how that goes and if I get to see anything. I am uterly amazed at how blessed two people can be, and continue to pray for God's continued Will and healthy baby! I have no feelings of what the sex will be, and personally don't want any. I want that God given moment when they pull our baby out!

I will keep you posted!
Much Love,
Rachel

7 weeks at OB Registration

I had my OB registration today. Audrey was with me which was really nice company. It went very well. Basically, they took my family history, some personal health information,what to expect at certain appoinments, and scheduling my Physical. They require a pregnancy physical when you are 10 weeks pregnant. Since we will be in Texas when I am 10 weeks, the Nurse wants me to come in next week. She some how fit me in, and I am scheduled to go in next Wednesday. Starting now, at every appointment I have they listen to the baby's heartbeat. Since I am having my physical a little early, it may be harder to hear the heartbeat, so they are going to let me have an ultrasound..YAY! That will be cool. There really isn't much to see until about 18-20 weeks, but it is still exciting. Weston will be able to sneak out of work and go with me. How special. The nurse said I have a very good diet,I am in good shape, and I can still excercise as before, until about 20 weeks. I have missed my running the last 2 weeks.... I recieved a baby bag filled with coupons, formula, and other goodies. I also recieved a realy nice(mother's approved)Breast formula bag. It is good for traveling with breast milk and keeping it hot or cold. Apparently mommy's all over swear by it!I am sure it will come in handy!

Dr. Appointment Tomorrow!

Tommorrow I have my OB registration at the hospital. They basically get all my information,give me some new information, and schedule my first ultrasound. The cool thing about the military is all my information goes into the system and no matter where we go, every Doctor can look up my file. So, I will let you know if they say anything interesting. Still no morning sickness(knock on wood), but I am using the Ladies room a lot, get sleepy easier, and noticing some other new things. Lots of changes!(In a great way!)

My Official Due Date: October 25th!

Goodnite!
