Six weeks today. I'm so exhausted though, anytime is a good nap time in my book. Otherwise I'm still not having many symptoms. This constant nighttime urination I've heard so much about in the first trimester? Not happening with me...yet. Ha, now that I wrote it out I'll probably be up hourly tonight. Also thankful that I haven't had any morning sickness or many food aversions. A few foods have sounded disgusting to me but that's it. Obviously not showing yet and I haven't taken any photos of myself yet. I'm not sure if I will, at least not until I'm obviously pregnant. I'm already chubby, no need to take more pictures to prove it!
I'm having my first ultrasound on Friday. Just praying to hear that little heartbeat! I'll write a separate post on that on Friday.
Tom and I told my mom and stepdad this past weekend. It was my mom's birthday on Monday so we went out to dinner on Sunday and then went back to her house to watch the Academy Awards. We had a card to give her that was signed "Baby Anderson, coming October 2013!" I think she was surprised. :0)
Last week Tom and I toured a free-standing birth center in St. Paul since we decided we'd like to avoid a hospital birth if at all possible. Obviously we'll end up doing what's best for me and baby but for right now I want to pursue a natural, med-free birth outside a hospital. However, now I'm going to end up trying to convince my insurance company to cover my care at the birth center as an in-network provider. I plan on writing a letter with a cost comparison of births in a birth center compared to those in a hospital. We'll see what happens.
Last night Tom and I went to Buy Buy Baby in Woodbury because we have a giftcard to Bed Bath and Beyond which is a sister store to Buy Buy Baby. So we went. And it was HUGE and filled with so much stuff we sort of just walked around in awe and I ended up feeling overwhelmed and intimidated by so many options so we didn't get anything that time. I plan on looking up consumer reports reviews on important things like car seats. Yep, I'm going to be a safety.
Until Friday,
Lisette
