*Note to self - no matter how tired you are the night before don't neglect to take the Morning sickness magic. Because you will pay for it the next day*

9 weeks

Here is the 9 week picture. I am late because my photographer was in school yesterday and I was way to tired to do anything last night. I am not sure why these pics are so dark. I have all the lights on and the flash goes off....must be on some weird setting. I don't know how to use this camera....it's Phil's he knows all the tricks. I will have to ask him later.

Anyway I am still very tired. I hate this part. I felt this tired with Emma but don't remember being this tired with Ethan. I am sure I was I just don't remember.

I have been taking this great supplement this past week called Morning Sickness Magic. It has vitamin B6, folic acid and ginger in it to help ease nausea. So far it's been working for me and I am really happy about that. My doctor said one of the best things for nausea is vitamin B so this is really a great find.

Something kind of weird happened yesterday. Emma has been saying for months that she has been praying to Jesus to have twins. She had been doing this because I said this baby (whenever I got pregnant) would be the last baby and she desperately wants a sister. So her solution was to pray for twins....a brother and sister.

Now I haven't really mentioned that to anyone because it was cute but to be honest most people act like you are crazy if you say something like that so I've kept it to myself. Then my mother texts me yesterday and said for the past two nights she has had a dream that I had twins....but I hadn't told her anything so where did that come from? It just made me stop and think. I don't doubt that God can do such things, after all my husband IS a twin but it's still really strange.

Another weird thing is when I was pregnant with the babies I lost Emma asked the first time if the baby would die. This was before I even knew I was miscarrying. Of course I answered no and then a few weeks later I lost it. My 2nd baby I lost, she asked the same thing. Is this baby sick like the other one? Again I said no. Funny thing is, she never asked me this while I was pregnant with Ethan. And for my first baby that I lost miscarriage wasn't a topic of discussion. I was actually very naive and didn't even think it could happen to me, afterall I was only 25 yrs old.

So I am not saying Emma has some weird spooky powers or that all of this means anything at all. I am just saying that it's all something that makes me stop and think. And something I wanted to note in case it is true. I guess we will know for sure Tuesday. But if they do say it's twins, I'm gonna have her start praying for a new house and a raise......hahaha!

First Ob Appointment

Today I am 8 weeks 4 days along. I went for my first OB appointment. Thank God I was feeling well this morning.

I got Emma off to school and Ethan and I headed to the doctor's office. All of the ladies there just fell in love with Ethan. He is quite the ladies man. He was so good. They gave him crayons to color with while they interviewed me and got all of my info. Then I had to go get my blood drawn, which they do right there. I have really bad veins and they ended up blowing one out and having to do it over but really I was expecting that. They always have trouble finding my veins. While I was doing that though the nurses were amazing. They took Ethan for a walk around the office and showed him all the model airplanes that the doctor builds. Of course, Ethan was in heaven. Then they gave him some peanut butter crackers and he said "thanks lady, now I go have a snack with you." And so she asked if he could have the crackers and proceeded to take him to the break room and sat and had a snack with him until I was done. He actually had three grown women in there with him! Like I said he is quite the ladies man. : ) This was such a blessing for me as I didn't have to keep tabs on him while getting jabbed with needles. : ) My arm is pretty sore right now but it's all part of the many blood tests I will be getting so I better get used to it.

I have to go back next Tuesday for my first ultrasound. WOO HOO! I can't wait. They have the 4D machine there and not only will I have one now and at 20 weeks but they also let their patients have one between 31-38 weeks to see their cute little fat baby. I can't wait because you get kind of miserable near the end and this will give me something to look forward to.

March 22nd will be the first time I see the doctor and have my exam etc. I will be almost 13 weeks by then. Crazy!

Now I am going to go look through all my free samples and take some Tylenol cause my head is pounding.

All in all it was a good visit and everyone seems very friendly so far I am very pleased.

Ultrasound pics to come next Tuesday, I can hardly wait!
