I saw my baby!!!

What a fabulous day! I had my first ultrasound appointment today. My husband and I were so worried on our way there. The last time we got an ultrasound, it was to basically see an empty uterus after my miscarriage. :( Today's experience was so different! Baby measured a few days farther than I thought, so I am adjusting my estimated due date. Before I thought I was due 2/23. This was calculated based on when I ovulated. Turns out, I am actually due on 2/21 (based on last menstrual period), which makes me 10w6d. My baby measured 11 weeks on the dot today. The baby was moving around a lot too, which is really cool. I am so glad baby is growing and still has a strong heartbeat. I feel like the luckiest person alive!

Also, a lot of my clothes don't fit anymore. I start work/teaching in a few weeks, so I was worried about what I was going to wear. Problem solved! I bought 5 new shirts at Goodwill that are loose and comfy. I bought a pair of maternity pants and stretchy waistband shorts from Kohls, 3 more pairs of maternity pants at JC Penney's, and 2 belly bands at Motherhood Maternity. I think I am set until cold temperatures set in! (Then I will have to buy maternity sweaters perhaps.) I am pretty thrilled also because I didn't break the bank with all these purchases. Also, maternity pants look better on me than regular pants. Who knew?
