Went to the doctor on Friday. Did my full OB exam, oh what fun that way. Told me I was 11 weeks on Thursday (thought it was Tuesday, but whatever). Got to hear the baby's heartbeat, so that made it more real to me. After we listened, I said ok, so is it a girl or boy? She just laughed. Everything is fine. Was told it is ok to take Ambian for the lack of sleep. Also said the headaches are normal for this phase of the pregnancy. Gained 6 lbs it said, but I don't see how. I couldn't keep food down for weeks. The only thing I can think of is I pigged out before going, went to Mexican buffet, had 4 tacos, beans and chips, plus I had my construction boots on from work. Oh well! I go back in 4 weeks for a sonogram and to do my glucose test. They want to do early since I have such big babies. Hopefully I won't have to do the 4 hour one this time. That was so gross! Other than that things are going well. I just can't wait to get my energy level back. I hate being tired all the time, and then now sleeping makes it worse. I don't want to ttake sleeping pills every night, so I only do it a couple times a week and those are the only nights I get good sleep. Hopefully that will pass also.
Funny side note: Brandons class did a little bio on each of the kids in his class and on his page it says he is anxiously awaiting the birth of his little sister. I asked him why he thought we were having a girl and see said he just did. Hopefully he has inside information!
