I am eleven weeks! It seems to be going by a little faster. My mother came down to visit me this week. I hope having company will make it easier for me, staying busy and going places. I have started walking around the block this week and getting outside with the fresh air seems to be lifting my spirits. I really have enjoyed it.
I have been pouring over baby name books this week also. The first question people always seem to ask me is, "Do you have any names yet?" It is still early for that question I think, but I decided to go ahead and get started. I have made the mistake of finding a few names I like and telling people those names. Oddly enough, people like to tell you how much they don't like that name. So, I have sworn my family to secrecy from this point on. I will not reveal the names I am throwing around so no one can tell me how ugly they think it is. lol.
There is one name that is already decided if we have a boy. His middle name will be David. It is a family name on Jon's side. I pretty much got no say so in this name. I do not like the name David, personally, but that will be his middle name. I told my hubby that the first name is all mine. He can only veto if he absolutely hates it, and even then, I can override. He was not to pleased with that. haha. Only seems fair to me! After all, I am doing all the work..........

Ten Weeks - AGAIN
I still cannot believe that doctor set me back a week. I was supposed to be eleven weeks this weekend! Moving forward is the goal here, not backwards. Unfortunately, I have had a horrible weekend. I think I have felt the worst I have ever felt these past few days. I am just making it through my days and it is miserable. I just cannot do this for very much longer. According to all the books and previously pregnant people, about week thirteen I will feel normal again. My mother likes to joke that it will be a magical day and all my feel bad will suddenly disappear and I will be alllllll better. I really don't care how it happens, I just know that it must happen soon, or I am not going to make it. I told Alysha today that I thought I was dying. heehee. She tolerates me well. I have been told that I whine alot, but I don't believe it.
So, this is what life has been reduced too. My day consists of sitting or laying on the couch while Alysha waits on me hand and foot. (well, maybe not that much). In the past week I have not been on my treadmill as much, I just have lost my energy even more, if that is possible. I do not have the energy to DO anything, but sit. I hope I have not gained 100 pounds just being sooooo lazy.

OUR APPOINTMENT YESTERDAY
We had our doctors appointment yesterday, as you know, since I have already posted the ultrasound shots. It was really an awesome experience. I had my first physical exam, fun. The doctor told me all my lab work from last time came back normal and my lab work this time was great. That antibotic must have cleared up any problem with my bladder I was having. That is great news.
Then it was time for the ultrasound. I asked permission for the doctor to allow alysha to come in there, and they did not care. She really wanted to come and see it! It was so awesome! He had state of the art technology (his words). There was the BIG flat screen TV on the wall that he put the ultrasound on. So, Jon and Alysha and I watched the ultrasound on the BIG TV! I know I say this alot, but it was so different from the first time around. The baby was really active and he/she was moving around and flailing his/her little arms around. The doctor told Jon, "Dad, he's waving at you". haha. It was really the coolest thing. The doctor said that the babies at this stage usually sleep more often than not and we were lucky to catch him moving soooo much. He looked like a little peanut with arms and legs. He was able to show us the legs, arms, mouth and even the eyes! He was even able to give a 3 dimensional view. My uterus was tilted, so the doctor was having to really push down with the ultrasound thing. Needless to say, it hurt. He apologized, but man it did not feel good. Of course, totally worth it. haha. I think the neatest thing was watching Jon and Alysha. They were in awe. It was really awesome to experience it all together as a family. There is a real live wiggling baby in my tummy!!
The doctor measured the baby and put me back a week. He said I am not as far along as we thought. So, I will just be ten weeks this week, instead of eleven. That was not good news to me. I really question this method of determining due date, I mean, what if it is just a smaller baby? But, my new due date is May 2. It does not matter anyway, that baby is gonna arrive when he gets ready. I got on the scale yesterday and I had lost two pounds since my last appointment! The doctor told me not to get too excited, that it would start going the other way very soon. haha. I was surprised, though, because I have not thrown up any at all. I eat alot. I am still working out once or twice a day though. So, I am trying to stay healthy. I still think it is totally cool I lost two pounds, I don't care what that doctor says. lol.
This was the first time I had met this doctor, he is my primary ob/gyn. I liked him. He was young, but his hair was salt and pepper gray, which made him look older. He has a really soft voice and good bedside manner.

OUR FIRST ULTRASOUND!!!!
This a very small picture and I cannot make it any bigger. But if you use your magnifying glass over this picture, you can see a little arrow pointing to the babies head. It looks like a little peanut. lol. You should be able to double click on it and see it larger.
This picture looks weird cause it is a shot looking down on the baby. I think he called it a 3d shot. He had state of the art technology. It was really cool. Again, so so different from the first time around. There is an arrow pointing to the baby.
This was the BEST pic because you can see the babies mouth, looks like he/she is smiling. You can see his little arm great. the arrow is pointing to the mouth.
My Husband hard at work
Jon and his buddy Hatt
Jon working hard on a boat trailer!
Jon was part of a search and rescue team this week that was searching for a diver that did not come back up with the rest of the team. Unfortunately, the diver did not make it. He was cave diving, which is very dangerous, and got stuck down there. He was a local attorney and a dive instructor. His two students came back up when he disappeared for over thirty minutes. It was very sad. The coast guard looked for him for two days. Jon was on the crew that found the body and had to bring it back in to the family. A very somber day. (This was on Monday.)
