Had my NT screening at 11w3d and I felt very vindicated after the scan. That I wasn't making it all up, and that there WAS a little baby in there. It was nice to get some confirmation. =) Shortly after that I had my midwife appointment at 12w1d where everything looked good. They felt my uterus right where it should be and I could definitely tell that they were on it. I'm already starting to poke around there. I just know that I'll be palpating my uterus all the time in the coming months. Is that a spin? A head? Oh yes. At the midwife appointment I recorded the heart rate for DH since he wasn't able to be there. They said it was 170bpm. There was also a bit of a bump in there and they said that was the baby kicking. =) Too cute.
Now that I'm almost in my 2nd tri I am feeling more pregnant and less fat, which is a very nice change. I've also kept poofing outward as the previous picture shows. I haven't been buttoning my pants for a month, but now I can't even zip some of them up. Think it's time to get some real maternity pants. I bought one pair but they are too big so I'm not wearing them too often. I have an Old N. gift card that I'm planning on using here in the near future to get me some pants.
I'm also sick again. Stuck in my nose at the moment. I am so done being sick. I'm never sick this often and I don't like it. Especially since all I can do is keep drinking tea. No drugs for me. Bleh.
All in all, I'm feeling good and happy to have some energy back.

Boss Ladies
Today at work I told the boss ladies. Everyone except the one I work closest with. Odd how that worked out. But seeing as how she wasn't in today, that made telling her a bit awkward, so hopefully she's in tomorrow and I can just get everyone taken care of.
I had a bit of a freak out on Tuesday regarding budgeting and my job. I sent an email to the boss ladies asking if I should look for work or if there was enough in the pipeline to support me for the next year. Well it all ended up being just an emotional wreck for me and I have no need to worry about my job. If it does come to that, I will be told months in advance and most likely kept on until I found a different place of employment. So based on those crazy emotions I thought it best to explain my out-of-control email with news of my pregnancy, even though I don't have ultrasound proof that all is well. I thought it would make me look less crazy. =)
Head boss lady was really supportive and gave me a hug. Almost made me cry. She's just a warm person- at least what I've seen of her. =) Second boss lady was happy for me, got my freak-out and then gave me more work to do. "Can have you getting lazy just because you're pregnant." But it was a cute joke and not said in a mean way or anything. Now I just have to tell third boss lady! The rest of my co-workers are really happy for me.
Moving right along.
*much love*

little update email
I'm currently 9 weeks and feeling great. Morning sickness hasn't really developed for me, which I'm VERY thankful for. It's nice not being nauseous and instead to just feel hungry. The meeting with the midwife have gone well. I've had two already. First one to talk about food and nutrition, and the other one to check out my paperwork. I'm all scheduled at OHSU to have my Sequential Screening done which involves a blood draw along with an ultrasound to check for genetic and growth markers to see if there's anything funky going on. That's happening in two weeks. I'm really looking forward to seeing this thing!
We told the family last weekend when we went and saw everyone for a wedding. Bob was a bit nervous about having all three of his kids pregnant at once. =) Debbie was getting stressed out about making another baby quilt. =) My folks were really happy. Apparently, we have to get a new and safe car though (so says my mom). Hehe. Now the only people who don't know is work and school. I'm thinking after this testing in two weeks I'll feel more comfortable telling everyone and just getting it out there in the open.
So yes, that's whats new with the little McG (since apparently that's our new nickname).
