First and foremost, we had our first ultrasound on Wednesday. It was pretty amazing. A few important things to note:
1. There is only ONE baby. THANK YOU SWEET BABY JESUS. Turns out, I just have a long uterus. Jealous?
2. The Bean looks much more like a tiny shrimp at this point.
3. Internal ultrasounds are as awkward and uncomfortable as they sound.
4. Hearing her heartbeat for the first time was an incredible and humbling experience.
Truly, at 120 bpm, it was the most beautiful sound ever. It is real. The Bean is healthy, measuring right on time and is already adorable (tail and all).
On the mommy front, I thought I was so slick. I was sure I could avoid nausea and morning sickness at my will. Well...I was put in my place. You just can't be prepared for that never ending nauseous feeling. No matter how many times your predecessors try to tell you, you just don't know until it happens. I pretty much feel like I'm on a very unstable boat...24/7.
Other than that and the fatigue, and the sore boobs, and the food aversions...I'm doing fantastic. I will say I have gotten my sense of taste SOMEWHAT back. Now it's just super intense. I'm like some sort of super hero.
