My Only Excuse is I'm Pregnant

Today I am 12 weeks and 2 days pregnant :)  A few weeks ago I had a dear friend email me to say she hasn't seen an update on my blog recently.  Yes, I know.  I have no other excuse, other than.. I'm pregnant!  Of course this translates to.. I am nauseated all the time, I am unmotivated to do ANYTHING and I'm TIRED!  So, I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with my posts.. but honestly.. all I want to do these days is sleep.. well.. and eat! haha!  Sometimes I don't even want to eat though.. knowing that it's going to make me nauseated afterwards.

Anyway, last week I had my first regular ob office visit.  They did an ultasound since it was my first visit with them.  We saw our little stinker flipping, kicking and doing the jigg! :)  It was so hard for her to get any pictures because it wouldn't sit still!  She goes.. oh boy.. you're going to have your hands full with this one.  I looked directly at Jeremy and said, it's your fault!  Just like it's dad.. can't sit still.  It was fun though.. we sat there for several minutes just watching it dance.  I have an appointment this Thursday with the perinatal department for genetic testing.  Jeremy, the donor and I all had genetic testing before the pregnancy, but this is supposed to test for "spontaneous" genetic disorders such as Down's Syndrome.  I think this will make my 6th or 7th ultrasound.. no complaints here!  I feel very blessed that we have been able to keep such a close eye on how well the baby is doing.  I am also thankful that my medical insurance is finally covering the costs of my visits!  Of course the infertility treatments weren't covered, but now that we are pregnant I only had to pay one $25 copay and nothing again.  This past weekend I counted all the diapers we have to make sure I have enough of each size.  I just need about 500 more of Size 1 and I should have all the diapers I'll need for the entire life of the child :) Yay planned me! haha!

So I think that about covers everything in a nutshell.  I'll try to make more updates, but no promises!  I've heard things get better in the second trimester.. I'm crossing my fingers!!!
