Baby Apple update!

I am finally at my computer again!  It only took me over a month!  I only have 17 days until I am in the 2nd trimester. Yes, I am counting. I am 10 weeks 4 days today! In my mind, once I hit week 13 all of my 1st trimester symptoms are going to disappear.  Well that is what I am hoping for.  I am starting to feel better, I am not as tired, I still need naps though if I do a lot in one day.  Dinner is STILL always a struggle and sometimes other meals can be a struggle as well.  I have been lucky and only thrown up a few times, ok several times but it could have been worse.  We had our first ultrasound November 18th!! Baby Apple's heart beat was 141 bpm, which is a strong heart beat for only 7 weeks! We will not get another ultrasound until week 20 (which is when we find out if Baby Apple will be a boy or girl)! I CAN'T WAIT!!!  I will start that countdown after I hit the 2nd trimester! The day I went in they confirmed how far along I was and my exact due date, July 2nd!!  I am starting to wear maternity jeans but that is all for now, it is weird because I have lost 6 pounds but my pants won't fit because of the baby!  I would post belly pictures but I am still not really showing, I do have my small "baby bump", hopefully at the end of December there will be a lot more updates.  Here is a picture of our little angel!  :)
