Three due dates later we have a winner! :)

We've had two different doctor appointments recently and we were lucky enough to be able to see our baby both times on an ultrasound.  They were planning on doing our first US Friday so Michael didn't go to the Tuesday appt since we thought they would just be doing routine stuff...we unfortunately were wrong.  The nurse decided to do an US herself just to get an idea of how far along we were.  It was bittersweet to be able to see the heart beat without Michael.  I felt guilty and dreaded even telling him.  He was of course a good sport!  The nurse told me at that appt I was about 8 weeks, which came as a surprise seeing as though the first due date had me past 10 weeks.  It was a little disappointing, but everything looked "normal" and healthy so I was ecstatic! Listening to the heart beat was neat, but the US machine was not that clear so when we saw it on Friday it was a whole new experience and one that Michael and I both got to share.  I didn't have a lot of emotion when she first showed us the baby on the screen.  I have no idea why, I just remember thinking, 'there's our baby and it has a heart beat and why am I not crying or something???'.  After all, I'm the one who cries when I see the Volkswagen commercial they played during the superbowl.  Anyway, it was strange and then suddenly... it started kicking and moving and did this little hiccup thing and it was A-MAZ-ING!  It was the cutest, sweetest thing I had ever seen and my breath was literally taken away!  It was so neat!   I didn't know they moved so much that early.  After given a due date of December 10th, then December 25th, we were given a third and official due date of December 22nd.  I am 10 wks 4 days today!  So ready to be done with the first trimester and the nausea that comes with it!!!
Things I Crave: nothing; oh, except a turkey sandwich because I know I can't have it.  PB and J is getting old fast!
Things that repulse me: large amounts of food...as you can imagine this was a slight set back on our cruise.
Things I find strange: my friend Amy made these yummy brownies and left them at my house for a week.  That is not the strange part.  :) A week later they were still there, minus the half that Michael ate.  It's like I have supernatural powers now that allow me to turn down chocolate.  ;)
Things I'm thankful for: too many to list, #1 being that baby Bradley is healthy!  Also thankful for all the maternity clothes my good friend Ashley brought me this weekend!  Thank you!

Due date...

Baby Bradley expected to arrive December 10, 2011! We went to the doctor last Tuesday...it's strange how such an uneventful appointment (they basically just took my personal and family history) can still be so exciting. We are scheduled to have our first US May 20th. We can't wait to hear our lil guy or gals heart beat! As far as I go, I am feeling pretty good...besides that constant feeling of stepping off of a county fair ride that lingers all day and night. Hopefully just four more weeks til I'm back to my Mexican craving old self again! :)
