11 weeks and 3 days

Today we heard the heartbeat for the first time. It beats so fast! I didn't get a sonogram, the doctor just used the doppler. At the time she was getting the heartbeat, the baby was moving! So the baby moved out of the way and she couldn't find the heartbeat again bc he/she kept moving hehe.

All I could think of when I heard the heartbeat was RELIEF! At first she couldn't find the heartbeat...nervous! But then she said, no worries, its a small heart so its hard to find at first. I know every soon to be mom will have these worries, but I feel like I am extra paranoid for these reasons:

1. I have no morning sickness or any sickness. Not complaining, but at least if I Was sick, I would know the baby is still there, alive and creating changes to my body.

2. My boobs are not any bigger nor are they sore. Another typical sign of pregnancy that I don't have.

3. My constipation (typical of any pregnancy) went away. The constipation is caused by extra progesterone which helps support the baby. If it went away, I questioned why it did.

So for these reasons, it is very hard for me to know whats going on inside there. But luckily, the heartbeat was there and I felt instant relief.

Everything seems to be on track thus far. My weight is good actually and she said I didn't gain a pound since I last saw her 4 weeks ago. I do think my total is about 5 lbs gained though. I thought that was high but she said it was ok. I also got the swine flu shot today.

Other than that, very excited for my 12/28 ultrascreen. I will see the baby again!
