Our first ultrasound - and no, it's not twins!

Today Mike and I went in for our first OB-GYN appt.   As I got poked and prodded, Mike got to sit back and look at cute baby pictures.  Attached is the first picture of our little "Fetey" (his/her new nickname after he/she graduated from being called "Emby").  We were both expecting to see a blob, or even relive Rachel's experience on Friends where she breaks down, crying "I don't see it!"  Instead, we were surprised to see kicking legs, waving fingers, and a full facial profile of our adorable creation. 

At this point I'm 12 weeks along.  The morning sickness is finally starting to ease up, and I'm really looking forward to finishing off my MISERABLE first trimester.  Name a pregnancy symptom and I've experienced it.  But, I've finally increased my diet to more balanced meals rather than just pretzels, pickles, and Cup O'Noodles.  I'm phasing out of the salty period and I'm finally enjoying a sweet treat once in a blue moon.  I still have yet to gain any weight (I lost 10 lbs in the past few months from such bad nausea/poor appetite), but I'm sure I'll make up for in the 2nd trimester.  Also, I want to start exercising again, so if you're in the mood for walking, swimming, yoga, etc. please give me a call (I'm not so great at the self-motivation thing). 

A huge thank you so far to all our friends and family who've been there to smile with us and get excited with us.  My brother's driven me to doctor's appts, my mom's there to listen to all my symptoms and remind me about the light at the end of the tunnel, and Laura Ellis buys me soup and calls me often sounding even more excited than I am (hehe!).  You guys are all awesome and we can't wait to introduce you to our little booger on July 23rd (give or take 6 days, according to our doctor)!!
